The grinding sound could be the ABS activating. ABS has to stop working in order to come to a stop. If the ABS keeps sensing wheel lockup and the ABS system keeps cycling the brakes you will never stop. I suspect a false ABS/wheel locking signal at a very low speed where it should not happen...

There seems to be a fair amount of confusion around bleeding the brakes versus flushing the system (or more accurately "ventilating" the system. The Porsche repair bulletin for ARB0, the brake hose replacement, (103/24 enu, dated 7-19-24) states to "bleed the brake system". If you follow that to...

I am amazed that the 150 kw charger was even an option. My dealer tried to talk me out of it since I'd "never use it". For $460 you could future-proof your car to be able to use the Tesla Supercharger network. Sure access might never happen but if/when we get access you would be sitting at 50 kW...

Sorry. I didn't mean to cause you any stress. I missed the first Tesla charging session on your chart. You have the 150 kW option. I don't even know why it was an option as it was relatively inexpensive and would let you get reasonable speeds if Porsche ever got access to the (400 volt) Tesla...

Assuming you have the 150 kW charging option on your car you will top out at around 135 kW on a Tesla supercharger. If the car doesn't have that option the max you will see is 50 kW. From looking at your chart you do not have the 150 kW option and will see a very steady 50 kW until you get over...

Those quotes are abusive. Extremely abusive. The brake hose recall (ARB0) does not specifically call for a full brake system flush. WPK0, a workshop campaign for "Re-programming PSM Control Unit" includes a fairly involved "ventilation" procedure that flushes all the brake systems (ABS...

And at least from what has been issued in the U.S. he is correct. Replace the brake hose and bleed any air at the front calipers. Done. The brake hoses were replace due to excessive tension causing a mechanical failure. Nothing to do with the fluid. It's WPK0 that triggers the "ventilation" of...

The brake hose replacement (ARB0) does not specify a brake system flush. WPK0, the workshop campaign to reprogram the PSM control unit, does specify a "ventilation" (Porsche's term) of the brake system. I believe that WPK0 is almost always done with ARB0 so most cars have the proper ventilation...

Very possible. Wet rotors do not stop very well initially, but braking usually goes back to normal after one wheel rotation and the water is wiped clear. Hard to know what to say to the OP's complaint as details are missing. He just says "driving in the rain".

Your service advisor is wrong. I'll assume uninformed rather than just blowing off your concerns. Braking is always initially by regen. Regen should not know the difference wet or dry. If there is a difference something is getting wet and not functioning as it should. You don't say if the pedal...

You are probably quite correct. Most PMC+ and PMCCs are connected to 50 or 60 amp circuits in the typical U.S. garage. Prior to Porsche recalling the charging pigtails and substituting new ones with thermal sensors (and I believe larger gauge wiring) their solution was to cripple their EVSEs to...

Level 2 (home) charging is a little easier on your battery over time. Unless you have free charging at EA home charging will be significantly less expensive. Oh, and EA sucks. De-rated chargers, broken equipment, lines waiting to charge are not at all unusual. I still have free (really prepaid)...

I'm at a loss to explain how different the experience with the Porsche units is US vs UK but our units are just not good. A neighbor just had his "pigtail" updated to the ones with heat sensors (not sure if that was a UK recall). Plugged in and charged for 5 minutes until the unit faulted. Let...

Just a guess, but I suspect something is getting hot and the Porsche unit is shutting down. Cools off and you can charge again for 45 minutes. In an emergency I have used a Tesla Mobile Connector to charge at 120 volts for 10 hour stretches with no failures. Not ideal, but charging on a 120 volt...

OP did say "in a pinch". On a regular basis 120 volt charging is right up there with paint drying or watching grass grow.

110/120 volt charging works fine. I was on vacation and had no choice unless I wanted to drive a distance to a DC charger so I plugged into a 20 amp circuit with a Tesla Mobile Connector. Charged at around 1 kW (3 miles of range per hour). Outlet barely got above ambient temp. Obviously won't...

Sounds like a relative bargain. A quick search showed dealers in the U.S. asking above $100k (for any spec GTS) certified used cars. 4 years of factory warranty in the U.S. so that will have some, relatively small, impact on the price. Just make sure the only open recalls are for either ARB6 or...

Right now my app is connecting in Florida. I frequently have problems with the app due to poor, or nonexistent, cell signal. The car is fussy about connecting to a weak signal. Might be some local outages while the fire damage is being dealt with? Check in the car for connectivity (the LTE symbol).

Ditto on selling the Tesla and moving on to a Taycan. Kept my Tesla V3 EVSE and it has charged perfectly for over 2 years (it is a NACS charger, not the universal one, and I use a Tesla Tap adapter). On plugging in mine always cycles the green stripe twice then goes blue, which indicates it is...

I have a suspicion that the jumps were programmed based on distance. One part of the video shows the distance from obstacle to obstacle. Or it's all fake.
