Porsche has been aware of those parts failing for at least 5 years now. I realize Porsche engineering moves at glacial speeds, but 5 years seems reasonable to come up with an alternative for a failing part.

Porsche doesn't have pandemic supply chain disruptions as an excuse anymore. I guess they are just bad at managing replacement parts supply chains. :(

@udubfl , yes, changing from partial load to full load, as well as type and size of tire will change your target pressures. As for differentials, I usually pump up the tires to recommended/target pressure, take the car for a short ride, then adjust the differential pressures so they show 0 all...

Where is the Porsche's admission?

There should be a way to show differential pressure on the instrument cluster (hit the scroll wheel after selecting the left tube).

Are you using absolute pressures of differential pressure display to compensate?

In your first picture the tires in the front are 1psi short of target pressure, the rears are 3 psi over target pressure. Target pressure depends on your tire and load settings in the PCM. The difference screen is compensated for temperature to make adjustments easier than using absolute tire...

"No more Tetris" and your car needs your attention if you play it on your infotainment, but Tetris still there if you're playing on your phone, or a laptop, or a Nintendo Switch. According to this video, this Level 3 is single lane keeping only (no automatic lane changes), restricted to lower...

Yea, Porsche is no Lexus. I've owned a couple Lexus cars, most creak/rattle free cars I ever owned (and I've owned a bunch of cars over the decades). Porsche is somewhere middle of the road, started creaking, squeaking, and rattling towards the end of first year. You'd think all these years of...

Well, that's new. I never used it, but always assumes screen off option is to that you can clean the screen without triggering random touch events.

When that used to happen in my J1.1 (knock on wood, haven't seen it in few months), the 2 finger reboot never helped. It just came right back to the Porsche logo splash-screen. You could tell everything under the splash-screen was actually functional, you just cannot see it, except for backup...

Those are Waymos (Google). Robotaxi (Tesla) is starting in Austin, but expanding to other cities quick. Robotaxi is a Model Y: There is also CyberCab from Tesla, which will be joining RoboTaxis.

The video doesn't look like someone crossing the line, it just looks like someone just decided to change lanes without signaling or paying attention, so even blind spot warnings would not go off in most cars. So many people drive cars like they'd ride a cow, get on, point it in general...

IIRC Tesla has ACTUAL full self driving cars in Austin already (RoboTaxi service without safety drivers). Porsche is nowhere near.

Counterintuitive, but not true. As the computer gets better (say it only requires human intervention once a year) the humans get more complacent. Furthermore, it turns out as the computer gets better, humans actually screw things up interfering. You indirectly get this - you get a copilot with...

It will be, or already might be better than humans overall (plus the bar is lowering as the general population is getting worse at driving). Even though AI is just mimicking human driving, the key is that you feed AI only the top x% of safest drivers to train on, so it ends up driving like those...

Tesla now requires subscriptions even for basic ADAS such as lane keeping. Not all countries yet. I'm sure it has at least something to do with Elon's $1t pay package target of active FSD subscriptions.

Hopefully it would have - you'd have to test it in a scenario like this (very rapid, unexpected PIT maneuver). An interesting corollary to this - if FSD would in fact avoid this PIT maneuver, does it mean police chase vehicles will no longer be able to use the PIT maneuver to stop cars running...

I've had 4 Model S's over a decade. 2 of them had the camera based rain sensing. Yea, it sucked. However, I also experienced dry wiping with my Taycan just this past week (the only reason I even remember this is because there was some bird crap on the windshield which I meant to clean but was in...

Cost, and see my post above.
