I seems you have conceded Tooney’s point, Dave. And then you go on to argue against points he didn’t make. Hm? I get your frustration and justified complaints about servicing shortfalls by Porsche. I’ve had similar concerns myself. Like you, I would place most of the responsibility on the...
Use the search feature in the forum. There is lots of stuff on this topic, probably some specific to Scotland. In general, it takes more planning than with an ICE car, as there are fewer stations. I think the situation on charger availability and reliability is better in Europe than here in the...
“Toilet bowl of history”! ?. Sadly, I feel your pain.
I think EA may have shown us what kind of network you get when a company is forced to do for legal reasons. Questions of reliability aside, In my mid-Atlantic area, too many EA locations are scary to visit, probably because the cost of real...
I believe the car has a special antenna that engages when the phone is charging in the armrest, providing extra range. I read this somewhere about a year and a half ago. Either here or in the manual somewhere.
I’m in general agreement with most posts in this thread. I would like a more narrow...
I think you need to use a trickle charger designed for lithium batteries. CTEK makes one. The HV battery will recharge the 12 volt only a certain number of times, I think 6 times, and the HV battery must be at or above 50% SOC throughout. It sounds like there may be a problem with your 12...
I was surprised to hear about your long wait times for service. Here in Muskonia I wait only a few days before going in for regular service. Campaign items are another matter, for example, the brake hoses at the front. I would just call my service rep periodically to check availability of...
AFAIK, there is not a consensus on the forum about how many times the HV battery will recharge the 12 V when the vehicle is stored. I think I’ve seen 6 times when the main battery is stored at over 50%, with a caution not to store at much high percentages, so as to permit the battery...
Get A Better Route Planner app, ABRP, and put in your phone and vehicle. This will help you plan charging. Use the car’s built charging finder, that is in the Nav tab on the PCM (CENTER OF CAR’S Dash). To avoid a cardiac incident(?), start looking for chargers at about 40%. Then refuel. Study...
Regarding car parks — if you got rear wheel steering, you will really appreciate it snaking around pillars and other parked cars. One garage I go to for fast charging, there is an EA charging area there, is scary narrow. Regular residential city streets are also a challenge with cars parked on...
I am not sure this will help, but it has made a difference for me using Electrify America: 1. Make sure cable is slack and not tight or twisted (sometimes difficult to accomplish), 2. Make sure you hear a “click” when you insert the nozzle. As to the latter, I was not always getting that...
I can’t answer as to replacement, but I am in the same situation you are as to the car sitting and concern about a dead 12 volt. A couple of things I would recommend to do. It is true that the HV battery will automatically recharge the 12V, but my understanding is that it will only do this...

You can use this to get some info on a Recall procedure, e.g., “ARB0”, the brake hose recall.
It’s also handy when you get back your invoice from the dealer to see what was done. Note also that these TSB documents tell...
I had the rattle issue as well in my MY 21 4S. Dealer advised it was the passenger headrest in extended position. Pushed the headrest back down to seat; rattle stopped.
I can’t respond directly, but . . .
Use care in selection of warranty provider.
