Bummer. Lots of folks seem to be on the verge of delivery only to have some issue at the last second.
I was just in Oahu and was keeping my eyes peeled for your car.
On TYD if you go to step 9 "On Vessel", when the ship gets to the Emden Port, it updates to tell you the name of the Vessel even before you actually reach this step. The ship in particular arrived at the port on 10/12/21 at 2 in the morning local time, and when I woke up the same morning, Step...
I saw this posted in the Facebook group. They can technically do whatever they want, but the question remains if someone is willing to pay 20k over sticker for a car they didn't get to build, and won't even be here until the new year.
Who knows, someone out there might, but my guess is if...
We are already there.
The acceleration of the Plaid was something only available to hypercars costing half a million or more, and YouTube is littered with their moron owners wrecking them.
The price point of a Model S, and the Plaid specifically is at a point where most upper middle class...
This is tough to say. It's probably even less.
Sometimes you read enthusiast forums and threads where issues pop up and a few prominent members experience them, and you immediately assume the issues are commonplace. Just looking at some of the threads here where folks ask questions about...
Yeah we'll see. It isn't missing anything like TPMS according to my SA, just needs a software update on a stop sale issue other folks have recently reported.
Still ongoing? My car is being loaded onto a boat in Emden to make it's journey here. I doubt they resolved it over there. Someone else posted its about a 1.5 hour software update.
My 22 CT4 is sitting in Emden, and TYD just updated to let me know it will be on the Felicity Ace, which is currently in port. Looks like it goes to Maryland and then Houston. Estimated delivery is Nov 12, but based on previous voyages, it looks like they run a little ahead of that schedule...
I think even without it, we are going to see a lot of fun Youtube videos of people wrecking their Plaid. There's already several good Tesla and EV videos (Porsche included) of people not knowing how to handle the instant power.
I feel like we are at the point where we should be asking if all...
I think the car works as it's supposed to. The code writers and Porsche Connect system seem to be the issues for a large chunk of problems we see surface on the vehicle. My wife drives a Cayenne e-hybrid, and even with that vehicle, half the time Connect won't give an accurate state of...
Well said. There's nothing wrong with expecting more from your vehicle, especially from a software standpoint. This sort of technology is only expanding and becoming more commonplace in the vehicle market, on cars that cost a fraction of what a Porsche costs. Something tells me most folks...
This is correct. The battery is a 93.4 kWh , but the usable portion is 83.7 kWh . Some real world tests and calculations have projected the real world usable portion is closer to 87kWh.
Either way Porsche ropes off roughly 7-11% of the battery. So if you are charging to 100%, you're...
Yeah my SA said there was a required update and this issue as follows:
AMC1 Stop Delivery - Hazard Warning Lamp – automatic activation re-programming
Vehicle blocking - Stop Delivery
Please do not deliver the subject vehicles to customers until the remedy is performed.
Overview
The subject...
My guess is they do. After Out of Spec Reviews shot their Taycan cannonball run, at the end of the video they mentioned they were meeting with EA and Porsche to discuss the difficulties they faced with charging.
A lot of the issues seem to stem from specifically which brand of chargers are...
