I find it generally takes several attempts to fully connect and read the battery status. I sit the laptop in the centre console so that I do not nudge it. I have also found that it will read the battery when the car is powered up. Just be patient is my advice.

Was struggling to get the tCan to connect to the car - I have a VPN, once that was turned off everything worked as usual. This is a late 2020 J1.1 has 18000 miles with one cell replaced (only green cell below) in a battery recall campaign last year. Was on a longer journey today and decided to...

What is PIRM?

I have a J1.1 and do not use profiles. The timer is perfect to match the charging to the cheap rate electricity through the night. I have Octopus with 6 hours of almost free charging overnight. I set the charge to increase by no more than 45% and finish by 5:30am. This costs no more than a...

You possibly also had a profile set to charge to 100%, so check your profiles since they may have priority over the timer. Other thing to check is direct charging is not set to on, but since you said the charge stopped at 25%, it suggests direct charging was set to off.

On my J1.1, I wanted to stiffen the shocks automatically when the suspension is set high for driving over speedbumps at below 20MPH. Setting the suspension to automatically increase height works perfectly, unfortunately I did not find any way to add shock stiffness to the same setting. :(

Yup, I agree NYLaw. You can see a list of chargers that are supported in the Octopus app, so if you are renewing, that is definitely a good approach.

Octopus can connect to your car, not tried it since they switched over to another type of Porsche login system. I have the older Porsche charger which has no Internet connection that I was able to access, so when enabling the Octopus system you have to say you have a different small capacity...

Magnet is a good idea to get the puck to stay in place while the jack is inserted, would definitely save a little bit of time when preparing to jack the car up. Not annealed any PA6-CF, the testing is pretty clear, it definitely improves layer adhesion and strength. I have had a Qidi X-Max 3D...

When making tooling for manipulating steel to flare holes etc. it is generally PLA that the tooling is made from, reason being PLA does not creep. In a short‑duration compressive load, I agree that PA6‑CF wins. In a fixture or tool where the load is static, high, and applied for minutes or...

Just noticed that you can attach files on the threads. Attached is the Jack puck that I designed.

If you message me, I can send you the stl. Once you have the dimensions, it only takes a couple of minutes to create. Need to print with 100 walls so that it is as solid as it can be. PLA is probably the best material, but I used PA6-CF since that is what I mostly print with.

I run Pirelli P-Zero NFO ELECT on my 21" wheels. I would be concerned about my insurance status if not running a tyre that is specifically for use in Electric cars, due to their weight.

Samsung S23 charges perfectly for me on a run, perfect when you have Waze running on your phone
