I’m surprised that the EA chargers actually WORK! In my (limited) experience they score about 30% useable, the rest non-functional. That’s in the LA and coastal charging stations I’ve visited. Are they getting more reliable? I sure hope sO.
I saw this link on some other software issues thread, and it was a revelation. Thanks to whomever posted the original link!
This video explains completely why these expensive well (mechanically)engineered cars have such PATHETIC software issues (and others). I recommend watching it. It will...
The app says when you go to add a vehicle that it can take 3 to 5 days to add the vehicle. It rejected my VIN too. I did successfully add my car in the other vehicle list. I have not yet tried to charge though.
Here is my Letter to Porsche Design and Engineering:
HEY PORSCHE!!!
Are you READING any of this? Your precious Brand Fetish from which you have been feeding from for decades is seriously in jeopardy of serious damage. Can you afford to ignore us all here, and never respond, or react, or...
Sorry, but NO. I was told this by the dealer too, but it is not completely correct. The auto-start WILL function without pressing the brake. Mine often does. When it works.( 2/3) Door must be closed, though.
I have some of the same issues. The door handles pulling in when I try to open my unlocked door is a stupid design flaw. One of MANY! (Porsche, are you listening? I sure hope so. Keep it up and your precious customers’ fetishistic devotion will evaporate!) I feel its because of an overly...
In my opinion it is among the most remarkable things about the steering. I would ABSOLUTELY get it without reservation. The tiny turning circle it delivers is worth the price of admission, PLUS the turn-in being so much quicker. I’ve had a loaner without it, and it was NOT as good.
Wow. I have trouble avoiding scraping my front splitter as it is! (Even with the lame GPS memory deployment of the lift function, that so rarely actually WORKS) I can just imagine how that GIANT chin would look after a month of my usual driving! Good luck with that! I also don’t love how huge...
Now a few weeks after the major wiring harness replacement, Ive had zero glitches, except for a more seldom occurring failure of the comfort-entry auto-start feature. It fails about one in five times. My driver seat has failed to return to the set position only twice. It’s a minor inconvenience...
By the way, I learned in a YouTube video that we can re-boot the operating system simply by pressing with TWO fingers at the upper right corner of the main center screen. It will offer options, but be sure to select “reboot”, not update or the other one. Seems fast too. This is a fix for the...
MAJOR UPDATE!
This morning I will pick up my ST GTS from the dealer, after 8 days in the shop. I showed them a colle of pictures of the glitches I’ve had so many of, and described many more.
After some two hours of conversation with the service manager and the service advisor, they took...
Well, I agree. The car is absolutely stunning to look at and fabulously engineered in the mechanical sense, in other words, a freaking blast to drive. There are things in the digital realm of the car that are ridiculously bad. When you consider the money we pay for these things they really ought...
Wow, thank you SO much for this. It’s good to know there are others with some of the same issues, and that they are known issues! I’ve forwarded the TSB link to my dealership service department people. I’m not optimistic, but it’s a start.
I wonder if others have had this issue too?
About every fourth time I start up the car I get some kind of message, or the automatic-startup upon entering function fails, or some function, sometimes a very IMPORTANT function, fails. Two days ago I was about to pull into my garage, and the...
Seems to me that if one has a non-Tesla charging account (I do) and THIS ADAPTER, it should be a simple PnC situation. It can deliver 150kw, not bad.
Does anyone see any issues with this situation? I’d like to carry an adapter, before Porsche offers it sometime in the foggy future.
I can say that at 18 months in, I’ve had my GTS ST in the dealership five times. All but one a recall. (It’s been in over this weekend for the brake hose issue and charger cord) I brought it in for some buggy software issues like “instrument cluster malfunction: seek service immediately “ and...
Best thing about the handling in my opinion. I can’t imagine the car without it. Plus it gives you a shockingly small u-turn radius and parking maneuverability. Absolutely worth it! Feels like a 911 wheelbase!
