  1. Summer time m/kW

    Minutes per kiloWatt? Your units don't compute.
  2. A short Porsche Dashcam review

    It's ugly and in your line of vision. Even with a red LED. Image quality is not great. The app is mediocre. And they're doing vendor lock-in nonsense where the dashcam _can_ connect to the car's wifi hotspot, but only when you pay for the Porsche SIM card subscription (and even then, it's...
  3. 911 Electric Conversion

    I've been dreaming for 20 years to convert one of the transaxle porsches to electric. The (financial) head is still winning, but at least it's finally getting closer to possible. https://www.youtube.com/@ElectricClassicCars has done conversions for at least 911, 912, 928 and 944. Mostly no...
  4. Recuperation mode?

    That's because Tesla's CAN not coast, so ON is their next and only best thing.
  5. Recuperation mode?

    ON is the worst for your range: you get back 70% of the energy of what you spent during acceleration. If you don't slow down, you keep 100% of the energy in the motion of the vehicle. And when you eventually do brake manually, then you still get the same 70% back anyway.
  6. Crack on brake calipers

    If that's a crack, I'd imagine it would be spraying brake fluid. Seems like a nasty scratch. Maybe a stone got caught up in there for a while. Maybe matching damage on the inside of the rim?
  7. Kyle Didn't Believe BYD's Flash Charging Claims So he Went To China To Verify

    This is flat out wrong and meaningless. AI hallucination. People should find a better source if they want to know how C works.
  8. Freeze date in 2 weeks. Here is the spec update

    It's basically an ashtray that goes into one of the cup holders. I got one hoping to be able to modify it into a phone holder (basically stick a magnetic QI charger pad on top of it). But the fit is not very tight at all, so way too wobbly to make a stable base.
  9. I joined the Red Circle of Death club

    LOL, I had the exact same thing this morning with a Panamera loaner. It fakes being on and then it says it won't shift into gear because you're a dummy for not pressing the brake pedal...
  10. Panoramic Roof. Good vs Bad

    I'm pretty sure it's the reflected light from the seats that gets bent in unexpected ways. I've never seen it on other interior colored cars. And (unfortunately) I haven't noticed it anymore on my new car with the variable roof. I kind of miss it, TBH. I guess some more experimentation (shine...
  11. Panoramic Roof. Good vs Bad

    Just to throw in one more pro: In case you have a red interior: the rain drops on your roof lens the red light in a really nice and dynamic manner, resulting in a confusing red glow to each of the water drops. And immediately a downside of the variable sunroof, which is grayed out when the car...
  12. 4S - Is all wheel drive better then rear wheel drive

    Meaning under those conditions a RWD would be lacking ~70% recuperation and increasing front brake wear instead. Assuming it's true that RWD is more efficient (as everybody claims and I can't be bothered to double check), that difference is a lot smaller than in an equivalent ICE comparison.
  13. Keyless Entry

    I had it not optioned in my 21 S4, but after one of the many software updates it suddenly started working (foot gesture to open boot etc.). I never had the close+lock button on the boot lid though. May have been me being "lucky". I'd like to think it was a tiny bit of compensation for all the...
  14. A short Porsche Dashcam review

    Maybe it's an Android thing, but staying connected to a non-internet wifi when there is a more preferred wifi network nearby is already tricky. But then having a paired Android Auto device around makes it just insane. Disable Bluetooth to try to avoid Android Auto to connect and after some...
  15. A short Porsche Dashcam review

    Got myself excited and then disappointed again: it doesn't work unless you pay Porsche their monthly ransom money.
  16. "Charging tips from a Porsche Taycan Expert" - article

    I assume you're having a laugh and on purpose have quoted the top-ridiculousness phrases either saying confusing contradictions or major DUH's there...
  17. Taycan 18 way seat Discomfort

    Same experience. It feels like I'm sitting up against a steel rod in a chair that is just too narrow. In my previous car I could mostly solve it with readjustments, but in my new MY2025 it's always there. Asking my dealer for a solution. Fingers crossed.
  18. Taycan Sport Sound aftermarket dealer cost to install

    In the MY25 you can simply and persistently configure the modes (including noise off) the way you'd expect. The modes were a nonsensical mess in the older models, forcing one to use silly workarounds like those mentioned.
  19. WTB Porsche Wall Charger Connect

    Is there anything special about that cable? I'd assume any decent quality cable of any length would do just fine.
  20. Toe Hook License Plate

    I actually initially misread it as tow hook in my mind... but then I went to imagining Taycans with trailers behind them. Anyway... I googled it now... American-only stuff.
