If you have USB, you can add Ethernet with a cheap adapter from Amazon, or just use the Ethernet adapter you already have that you mentioned (USB is universal, if it works on one Windows computer, almost guaranteed it will work with another Windows computer).

I'd settle for equivalent or better Porsche loaner on day one, and a year of bumper to bumper warranty extension for each month the car spends in service.

IIRC Model Y has about a dozen sources if heat, including the motors (which can generate a lot of heat, even when stopped), heat-pump, they even scavenge the heat from the infotainment and auto-pilot computers, and the screens. There is a good series of videos on youtube (3 videos, about an hour...

The only problem that Tesla Model Y could have with an HV resistive heater is that Tesla never put one in.

Pre-heating battery will cost you extra charging time, perhaps some range. No heat in the cabin means no defrosting/defogging windows, much worse. It's considered a safety issues in more than one country.

Yes, you are correct.

I doubt it was deliberate. Taycan could simply utilize the same mechanism that it uses to determine when it’s ok to charge above the minimum, and use shore power in that case. Also, if you leave preconditioning on long enough, it will drain enough battery such that charging starts, so they...

To me at least, the rear looks much more like a Lucidized Taycan CT, than an Ionic 5 The front also looks more like Lucid than an Ionic 5 Looking at both, for example the lights are light bars, or lines. Ionic 5 seems all about rectangular outlines. I've never seen a Zeekr in person...

Model X sucks. I originally was on the waitlist, then bought a Model S to hold me over. Bought 3 more Model S'es after that, looked at Model X before each of those, me or my wife never liked it - the doors were just a disaster, not even when test driving one in 2023 did they work correctly...

I don't know why, but this car looks to me like a cross of Taycan and Lucid Air .

Not surprised about the cost given they had to paint the covers, and that it's Porsche.

My "whine" sounds similar to an electrical switching/transformer tone, similar to what I hear outside when I charge but coming from the front electronics while charging, coming from rear motor at 50mph when driving. It also doesn't seem to change frequency with speed, it just comes and goes if I...

I'm in the US. When my heater died, I had to wait a couple of weeks before I could get a loaner. If they don't got'em, they don't got'em. I didn't try making a stink with Porsche corporate.

But do lateral forces indicate heavy brake usage?

It may not be a heater failure. Failed servo motor valves will also cause no heat. I had this happen to me recently, though they failed together - after HV heater was replaced there still was no heat, so 2 servo motors had to be replaced. Maybe in your case some servo motor failed 75 miles after...

It sounds like your residual was lower than market value, which happens often enough (and it should, as leasing companies want to be conservative so they don't lose their shirt on that). Most people don't want the hassle of shopping their car around at the end of the lease. I've done similar at...

The likely answer to your wife's question is because they wanted to. How many times would she stop on the same trip with an ICE car (count all stops for food, bathroom, etc)? Sure, you can cannon-ball it, even switch drivers and pee in bottles, but why? I took my Taycan from Valdosta, GA to...

Will they accept an AirTag? :CWL:

Come on! Will Porsche lease return really ask for thousands of dollars nit-picking normal wear and tear? How much will they ask? Let's say there is a 10% chance they will ask for $5K. Setting aside fighting them on what is considered normal wear and tear for a daily driver car (which you would...

My second replacement was straight warranty (first was the recall).
