That's basically how I justified the Burmester in my used Turbo, hehe...

If that works, and if they only swap the OBC itself, then that pretty much confirms my thought that the authentication and attestation (as well as storing and managing the cert etc.) is mostly contained in a charging-related module (the OBC itself apparently).

Relatedly, C8 Corvettes were selling well above MSRP, and people tried to get into that. It starts to backfire for a lot of them: "The days of buying a new C8 Corvette, driving it for several thousand miles and selling it for the same price or for more are generally over."...

Yeah, that makes sense. That was also the anomaly I was referring to. Pretty sad that apparently a lot of people are not able to see the obviousness of the market doing something weird during an extraordinary time. I even got promised a good offer for my Boxster, but my reply would have been...

Even with the recent anomaly in the used car market, unless you're buying a supercar (more like a rare Ferrari, maaaybe something like a GT3RS) and don't put any miles on it, that's a pretty bad plan. Entirely different markets. Those appreciating cars are in my mind more similar to trading art...

Me too! I was thinking "what do you expect, that's a TERRIBLE idea", but turns out their problem and request are actually very reasonable. ?

What people are trying to tell you (respectfully, without diminishing your problem) is that they are not the same problem, especially in this particular thread here. They are very different problems which happen to share similar symptoms. Imagine you went to the doctor because you cannot bend...

That's true, and we get and acknowledge your issue, and you're right to be frustrated. However, with all due respect to your comment, you are talking about an entirely different issue. It's like the difference between getting wet in the rain because your umbrella is broken, vs. getting wet...

So wait, do we not even know the breakdown of causes of a fire? Because then that's all utterly useless to begin with. I hardly care whether EVs or ICE vehicles "catch fire" more often, I want to know which energy storage method (high voltage battery or fuel) and which drive train is more...

As for me, when I buy I just pretend the money is gone. Spent, poof. I wanted a car and I got it for that money. That's not true realistically (I received a pleasant, albeit still much below purchase price, amount of money for my Boxster), but it certainly beats the expectation of cars as a...

I've noticed that so much especially in the context of luxury cars. The amount of people that seem to be able to buy such a car, but are lacking even basic financial literacy skills, seems staggering... at least relatively spoken. Talked to someone the other day who dropped a lot of money for a...

Agreed. To everyone reading though, I'd like to repeat that as far as we know, the Turbo S's additional power is so far only available when doing Launch Control. That was the major reason why I went for the Turbo instead of the Turbo S. The extra price for something which I would only...

Yes, I get that. Does not mean that Plug & Charge and OTA share the same hardware or software components... at all. I mean, maybe they reuse the same crypto library (though that may just be "reused the source code", they may not even run on the same processor), but there does not have to be any...

Unlikely. I've noticed before that the "Hardware" version seems to be more a hardware configuration thing instead of any actual software version (this can both mean actual hardware revisions or different individual hardware pieces chosen from an available set of hardware pieces, e.g. per...

Very interesting thought, but my gut feeling is that these things are totally separate. For one, it's more likely that there is a central component, attached to one of the communication modules (or maybe even part of a communication module) that is in charge of performing the software updates of...

If that's indeed the case, then whoever wrote the message that I see in my My Porsche app may want to rethink how they communicate. Because not only is it pretty suggestive of an imminent update, it also sound less like Porsche and more like an email sweepstakes from a vape shop: Porsche has...

And so far nobody has seen the supposed update it seems. Mysterious.

I may be totally wrong on this, but from what you've said so far in various threads about not just ACC, but also auto-recup and other things, I always get the impression that you have a driving style where even on a freeway, you drive up close to a car and then brake. If that's the case (big...

There are practically no guns in Germany, so, no…

Careful there, I think OP is a bit imprecise in the description of their problem. I don’t think their screen literally stays black, rather it’s showing the “loading” spinner. It’s a very different issue, and one I am sadly familiar with in at least a similar presentation (see my reply directly...
