Redshift vs MapEV

[prj]

For the 2024+ models, they get 10 seconds of full power, no magically speed limiter and significantly less power drop.

It's an outlier, majority of German EV are limited by safe inverter output or by battery.
Apart from the commercial limitations where models with multiple trims are offered with the same hardware.

Chinese EV are also not really purposefully limited to lower power, and usually all the models have different hardware.

I mean Porsche having Taycan 4 to Taycan Turbo with the exact same hardware is just a cash grab.
Realistically there should be RWD, Turbo, Turbo S and Turbo GT. All without any mandatory options and at a much lower starting price.

If I would have gotten a Turbo with the same exact spec as my car, I would have paid 40 000 for a couple bumpers and some turbonite accents. That's how they make money.

I prefer the 2024+ Ford way to the “push a button or launch control” option.

That’s probably why I like your tune so much. Full power available all the time.

Probably easier to just read the details for each particular car on their website- https://www.mapev.net/

It compares the increases in both modes.

yes, just as another person commented i was looking for a graph with: stock , vs launch vs mapev both for torque and bhp

Comparing stock vs launch or launch vs MapEV makes absolutely zero sense outside drag racing.
You can't use the launch power apart from a very specific sequence from a standing start.

In everyday driving no taycan has the launch power, they all have the standard power, and the increase you are going to feel is standard vs tuned, and that's what is also shown on the graphs.

How many times do you launch the car vs how many times you push the throttle all the way?
The ratio is probably like 1:100 if not more - makes zero sense to focus on the theoretical 1%.

I feel like the Taycan power advertising is extremely deceptive. Much higher numbers are quoted than what the car makes in real world use. The tune fixes that.

And for BHP stock vs mapev ? Is there a curv also ? (Sorry I’m a noob)

You were looking at the curve. It’s the top line (just have to do math to convert to bhp).

hp= tq x rpm/5252

Did not make those, because they're pretty boring to look at, as it's an electric motor so the limiter is like completely flat.

I'd like a RWD GT without the front shovels using the TGT rear motor/inverter.

From a marketing perspective, it may help. Especially in the US.

Over here people don’t understand torque. Everything is advertised as horsepower. Even if it’s boring to look at.

Just buy the GT and I'll make a you a tune that disables the front motor for acceleration

For those in California, do you recommend ordering directly from the website or going through an authorized installer?

If you are comfortable doing this:


And can get the MapEV Diag software running, then direct from website.
If not, and you want a full service, then use a distributor.

@Mr.Smith also offered help with installs in Cali IIRC.

One thing I don't really understand. If MapEV - something I'm very interested in when my 2026 CT arrives - is just using the identical parts (battery, motors, cooling, whatever) within the same parameters that higher spec'd models are using the same parts within, how can can this be a potential warranty violation?

I can see the risk of the software ran the motor faster/hotter/at a non-spec supported voltage, but if its in spec, and other models drive the same parts in similar ways, whats the legal complaint? Is there an EULA or something where owners promise not to modify the car? Isn't this what an enthusiast community does? Car mods don't automatically void a warranty.

Probably one of the reasons Porsche currently chooses not to void warranties on the tune currently (discussed elsewhere).

Kind of hard to argue that the extra power breaks something when it’s designed with the extra power from Porsche from the factory on other trims.

In the US in particular they have to prove a particular mod is the problem. No such thing as a voided warranty, just a specific denied claim.

Man want that tune so badly but with all the issues, I am really worried if my warranty I
