an engineer on here can probably give the correct number, but I believe wireless charging is terribly inefficient, with only about 40% of the electricity used actually going into the vehicle. This may not be a big deal from a cost perspective for some of the high rollers here, but globally, in...

The Republic of Austin?

Apps that help you find cheap gas have been around for a while. Does anyone know of a similar app for charging? I notice EvGo has just given its rates a substantial boost, including time of day charging. I’m not objecting to that concept, but perhaps there is a better deal at a different...

Very interesting thread. As long as we’re talking about energy consumption, do we have pretty generally understood and agreed upon rates on consumption per mile, say for city driving and for highway driving? I’m interested to see how I am doing. Based on my ”fill ups“, I’m getting total...

Ambroos makes a good point about driving with the assistance function. When it does something odd, since you are already paying attention anyway, you just correct it. I also appreciate, especially on the shooting gallery we call our beltway (amazing how many F1 drivers we have) P will...

I bought the Tesla adapter for use at Destination Tesla charging. It worked fine, and I’m here to tell you about it. Now, that was an A/C charger, I believe.

Out for an enjoyable day trip to a Chesapeake Bay favorite spot for lunch. Then the EVgo charging experience on the way — at 2 different locations! 0 for 5. @10% SOC when I finally reached a working EA. In one EVgo case, I plugged in after another car just had finished on the same charger, and...

I never use the auto park feature. I should have thought this through more. Let me explain. In theory, the auto feature will get you into spaces that are difficult to maneuver into. But would you want to park so tightly next to other cars? I know I can’t control a car coming in next to me after...

I have no problem with your post. Just sharing. Yes, my issue concerned their mechanic and an indicator light. I am not sure what general conclusion, if any, can be drawn from my particular experience.

Your experience may vary. I had the most awful experience at that shop. My 911 had an indicator light telling me my wiper fluid was low, and it wouldn’t go off. 4 trips to that dealer were required, and, of course each time I was assured the problem had been fixed. On the fourth go they wanted...

I would be interested. March sounds like a good time frame.

About the only thing regarding the EA network that I find having improved is the Plug and Charge feature. It works nearly every time. This eliminates what used to be a big hassle trying to set up a charge. Rate of charge is still hit or miss. I agree the 85 kW does the job, but you just never...

About to go in for software recall (colored icons, etc.). I’m hoping that will fix it. S.

Yes, but you need to buy a plug adapter for the Tesla plug. Check out Tesla Tap. I got one and it works great, but only for “destination charging”, like at a hotel. Won’t work with Superchargers. S.

Yes, months back there was ”the 12 volt battery issue”, which turns the car into a 2 ton brick. So, what software update corrects the problem and has the HV battery recharging the 12 volt? Does someone know? I have had similar 12 V drain questions regarding a portable air compressor I have to...

Wow! 19,000 views. Your famous! ? thanks for this important thread.

Check the my Porsche app. I was surprised to see what appears to be every trip I took listed, complete with date, mileage, etc. This also told me what appears to be my average rate of Kw consumption.

maybe this will get fixed. Posted speed indicator hangs. I have managed to exceed 55 mph while stopped! This is a fast car. ?

The software has indeed been a problem, some very serious, as with respect to power, others annoying, such as spotty CarPlay. Now we await another major software update. But software, other than power plant issues, I don’t count as major annoyances, especially after a drive! There have been...

How big is the guy you’re talking to?
