That has to be a typo, right? 122 miles on a 2-3 year old car?

Both CARB and the EPA have oversight into EA's rollout plans and ensuring that they meet the terms of the settlement, which also requires that they solicit and consider feedback from all interested government bodies (I've read the terms of that settlement more than I'd like to admit, since I was...

Man, I'm so tired of this narrative that VW was forced to do it, so they're half-assing it. I don't disagree that EA has it's issues, but it's an argument that's lazier than people are accusing VW/EA of being. To start with, this wasn't a court order, it was a settlement, so VW had a...

Ha, not implying that people stop talking about it, just making sure people realize that there's plenty of time for changes to happen, and not to get too worked up over things at this point.

I mean no offense to anyone in here, but some of you guys are sounding like you might have a heart attack getting yourselves worked up over trying to read between the lines about the news in the past few weeks. Ford and GM have announced changes that are going to take a long time to come to...

I feel like there's about a 1% chance Porsche tries to retrofit NACS onto already delivered cars when you could probably buy 5 adapters for the same price as whatever a retrofit would cost, and not have to risk mechanics mucking about under the hood. Heck, if you replaced the CCS side with NACS...

Even if VW didn't want to continue running EA, someone would surely buy them, if only for the fact that they have hundreds of charging stations that have permits and utilities run to them. A retrofit probably wouldn't be cheap, but EVgo or ChargePoint would chomping at the bit to expand their...

@daveo4EV, you don't have any obvious bad points here, but you gotta go for a drive or something between posts, you're like half the comments in the thread right now. ;) In all seriousness, I'm glad we're getting closer to the day where we can no longer worry about cars having different...

I will say that this does make me worry about ending up in a situation where Tesla (or any company) has a monopoly on the charging network in NA. I simply have no faith in a corporation to not use every bit of leverage to extract as much money from consumers as possible. Don't get me wrong, I...

I'd do 600 miles of range 100%. It's not that I plan to drive 600 miles non-stop, it's that I want far more control over where I stop and for how long. With the Taycan, by the time I've driven for a couple hours, I need to be getting ready to stop for 30 minutes , and if that charger is busy...

I went full PPF myself. The way I see it is that if I'm going to have a car that people will want to take pictures with, I want to have PPF so that I can chuckle to myself if I see someone doing that rather than walking over quickly to be sure that they aren't rubbing the paint with their...

For what it's worth, they have the same requirement for the 12V battery for their ICE cars, and it's fairly easy to find people complaining about it. Not sure there's much you can do unfortunately, though I agree that sucks for a car less than 3 years old. What I worry about most is that it's...

Not surprising, but disappointing that the US and EU have different enough requirements that auto makers need to create separate systems for them, and that Porsche isn't trying to retrofit older models. A bummer for sure, but my guess is that by the time they actually get certified for the US...

Unfortunately doesn't seem to be tied to the VIN: https://my.porsche.com/core/us/en_US/production/005056BB6E321EEC92AEC9CF464F7C8B

Almost certainly not. If you get a warranty covered battery replacement at 7 years and 11 months, they'll probably cover any clear manufacturing/installation issues for a year or so, but another 8 years would be almost certainly a huge financial burden on Porsche.

Open the "My Porsche" page for you car, scroll all the way down to "More Options" and choose "View story of production". Then go down to the "Your vehicle has been produced" section and scroll through the pictures there. If you hover over the picture, it should let you download a high res...

Acid Green?! What a wild choice! I approve.

200 watts for a speaker would be pretty crazy high. Even a fairly low efficiency speaker could reach 80 dB with just one watt from one meter away, and I wouldn't be surprised to find one capable of 100 dB. Assuming that Porsche doesn't change the volume of the sport sound, the EU regulation...

What is the homelink button you're using? I use the diamond touchscreen button on the dash, but that doesn't work after turning off the car. If I put it on the steering wheel does that work after powering off?

There's two kinds of race-tex. There's the GTS specific race-tex that includes the GTS stitching on the headrests, and there's the race-tex available on all models, which has a different seat design. You cannot get ventilated seats with the GTS specific race-tex, but you can with the non-GTS...
