Also, just look for a sec at Rich Rebuilds as a prototype. You can do whatever you want if you can hack it. And someone will. Don’t count on Porsche as the only participant in this space.

You’re assuming that because a company can’t do one thing right they won’t do other things right. This is a fallacy. Google can do many amazing things yet they cannot do some very basic stupid things just like you say with the Taycan. Yet I’ll bet Porsche is a bit more responsive than Google...

One thing you have to acknowledge is that the traditional dealer model of selling and servicing vehicles is dying. Mercedes and many others have already begun an aggressive shift from retail to e-commerce/digital. Tesla is way ahead in this regard but the market is already catching up at varying...

I think you discount the market for this too much. Spending $10k as part of a solar install to provide the kind of integration that you refer to doesn’t seem like a large cost relative to your average home backup generator install. With tax incentives that part of the “package” would be...

Also, Porsche is likely to be spun off from VW and highly likely to continue investing in more technology, aka software-oriented product development which they know very well could be their future revenue base (aka subscription model) with EVs likely having much longer usable lifespans. It...

Hm. I’m not exactly sure what you’re saying because the technical details are not my domain. However, I’ve seen that Lucid and Hyundai both have intentions of allowing you to power reasonably high external AC loads from your car. Lucid with their “Wunderbox” and Hyundai with V2L ports that allow...

You missed your one shot at doing easy donuts in a parking lot in Texas. I also lost power but I realized the etron has an internet connection so we turned that into our router/living room. When the Ossiaco inverter/charger launches you’ll be able to easily turn your vehicle into a backup home...

It sounds like the “bedding” idea for “brakes” having to do with regeneration implies that they are mechanically related. Regeneration is simply the motor running in reverse and sending power to the battery. It has nothing to do with your physical brakes which is why EV “brakes” can last forever...

I thought the vents were blocked only when you chose Mission E’s. I don’t think it has to do with the charging port. With the Mission E wheels the air doesn’t flow over the surface of the wheel as much so the vent doesn’t function as designed.

When you get the “performance package” you save some money over a la carte so it’s a real shame they did not simply check off performance package which includes PDCC. The handling boost isn’t so noticeable unless you’re cornering pretty hard at speed but it’s nice to have if you’re bothering to...

Have you dug around in the settings? I have found many setting “option” menus are hidden in a “three dot” button off to the right. So it becomes a huge challenge trying to figure out how to adjust various settings. The foot activated trunk opening feature is buried in such a menu and isn’t on by...

Surely how your doors unlock is not something the UK regulates so I don’t see why Porsche would change it. It could just be something with that dealer. Take a look in your settings and see if you can change it.

Given that 2020 test results were far too conservative I’m sure Porsche tweaked the software to allow the EPA numbers to better match the real world range. Given Dieselgate there was surely a desire to ensure that the first year real world range numbers were WELL within the variance from test...

Comfort access is when the seats move back before you get in and automatically reposition when the door closes. The doors unlock automatically as you approach on all Taycans. This is not an option. If you’ve turned it off you have to dig around the menus to find it. The three dots on the right...
