Just checked again, and I am part of the April 19 battery recall. My SA has noted this, and I'm waiting for them to respond. I'm especially concerned with the following statement on the recall notice: THE REMEDY IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME What the heck does this mean? Have I lost the...

Checking the battery recall, my Vin does not come up. We’ll see.

Yes, the replaced modules have always had a higher voltage than the other cells. The difference in voltage is maximum when the battery charge is at its minimum and there are very slight bumps in voltage for the two modules at the maximum battery charge. Looking at the latest maximum battery...

Thanks for the input, very interesting and much appreciated. I did have the chance to speak with one of the 11 certified Porche battery technicians in the country when my battery went bad due to a faulty module. I’ve been following the rebalancing procedure that he recommended for the battery...

I 'rebalanced' my battery Friday, and got the 'red code of death' on Saturday morning. The OBD data is attached. As a welcome relief, the car does not show any codes now, so hopefully I'll be able to drive it to the dealer this afternoon. A couple points on the OBD data. At full charge, the...

Now THAT is a good looking car! Put me in line for the new version in 3 years... (would still like the 'ferrari' dial on the steering wheel).

Just my personal opinion here, but why would you want to distract from the beautiful lines of what is IMO the best looking sedan ever created. Red/Green, even white calipers grab your attention, and is that what you want people looking at? Why? If you're looking at painting your calipers, I...

Agree completely with the posters wanting more switches/knobs. (You can set the roller on the steering wheel to adjust volume). I mean, who decided that switches/knobs were inferior to touch functions - ridiculous. Knobs for volume adjustment, temperature control, and VENTS! Also, make a...

I had one, possibly two bad cells in the battery - likely bad from the start and they were replaced. Noticed it when I had a significant decrease in range, and dealer couldn't see a problem. Once they ran the car down to 10%, they were able to see the error code.

As I've related in earlier threads, when my battery modules were replaced, they had to fly in a certified Porsche Battery Technician from Atlanta. He said there were only 11 in the US. The delay is probably due to getting a certified technician - they are the only ones that can work on the...

I think this will be the case. When I had my modules replaced, my dealer had to fly in a certified Porsche battery technician, and they only had 11 of these folks in the country. You may be one of the lucky one's that has one of these technicians at the dealership, but the odds aren't good. I...

I'm a believer that actual data on the specific car is better than general 'expert' recommendations. I have been charging pretty much every day for 3-1/2 years to 85%, and my range has not decreased at all and my OBD SOH is 94%. Additionally, I spoke with one of the 11 certified Porsche...

I will definitely wait for the true 'next generation' car with new battery chemistry/solid state. I've got a 7 year, 100K mile warranty, so I will watch from the sidelines, and drive what I think is the most beautiful (maybe ever...) sedan on the road today for the next 4 years. I can't...

Very interesting - I can see your point. My wife's Mercedes is an SUV, so no 'sporty' driving at all. I can see your point about the powertrain 'confusion', because we drive the SUV in electric pretty much all the time, but we can do that because there is never any 'performance driving'. With...

[/USER] Just joking about the CT!! It is the best looking CT around - maybe not as beautiful as the sedan... ;)
