I'm out of the EV game for the next 4-5 years especially after the whole NACS debacle in the US. 800v charging expansion in the US just hasn't been at the pace which I had thought it was going to get to by now when I originally bought my Taycan 4S. LGChem batteries also bit me twice as well...

I parted ways with my Taycan 4s a few months ago and replaced it with a Cayenne E-Hybrid & a 718 w/ a 4.0l motor.

Your toe alignment is out of whack. Based on those numbers, the car will be pulling to the right since the front right has toe out and the front left has toe in. Even if you were to center the car the car with the steering wheel, your front wheels will both be pointed outward which is leading...

OOph, sounds like a leak.

When a vehicle turns, the outer wheels has to turn more in relation to the inside wheel. There are different ways to achieve this with the most common mechanical way being a differential which is a set of gears that allows the inside and outside to rotate at different speeds. Another way that...

I've gone thru this process and there are some really important things that you should check w/ the dealer first. 1) Have they ever done this repair in the past and if they are fully certified to perform the repair. 2) If they are not, that means the shop will have to first get all the...

The majority of the vehicles on the aggregated list are 2020 models. RWD trim wasn't available until 2021, so that may be factor.

Here's what my front brake pads look like after 30K+ miles. Practically brand new.

I think this can cause a lot of weird situation. Very reminiscent of the whole Chevrolet Bolt situation back in 2021 where GM adopted this strategy of forcing charging limitation via recall updates. I know cause I had a Bolt at the time that resulted in GM buying back my Bolt and thus why I...

I hope not. cause then it'll be another 5 years of waiting. To be fair, I think my situation is a bit more unique than others. First time that the dealership had to do this work.

Since we're all moaning, mine went into the dealership back in Nov. 2023. Tentatively scheduled for the technician to work on it first week of April. PNW region.

This is the instruction from Porsche as of 3/14/2022. Not sure if there (h)as been new revisions since. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10209809-0001.pdf

Not entirely certain on the intricacies of that initial process, but in my case they had to consult w/ Porsche Germany on the steps. Best guess here is that the dealership had to get confirmation from Porsche Germany and maybe PCNA on whether to do module replacement or to do a battery pack...

Lemon law doesn't apply in my situation due to the length of time and mileage that I have on the car. Trust me, I've already initiated the discussion of a goodwill repurchase, but got stone walled. Been spending the past week basically managing the Dealership and PCNA to get things resolved...

Been in a base Macan with giantic loaner vehicle stickers on both side of the vehicle for the past 3 months now. The part that has been infuriating me has been the endless reasons and lack of any ETAs on next steps. 1) no timeline on when to get the 2 modules in, 2) we're also going to have to...

Did they replace the entire battery or replace specific modules? I've been waiting for 3 months for my battery repair. Apparently, there's an utter lack of battery specialist that can perform the work in the Pacific Northwest and we're just waiting perpetually with no ETA on when that will happen.

Tire wear can and will vary greatly between person to person assuming that both vehicles also have the same alignment. How heavy someone is on the pedal and how much speed they take turns at will have significant impact. The type of surface which they are driving can also be a major factor...

This is why sonars are still important. Even if it's not shown by the camera, the sonar sensor still provides you a indicator that something is probably there. Drivers need to be paying attention at all times and not just relying on a single technology. No tech is 100% perfect. It's...

I wouldn't be surprised that this has caused some excessive wear on the wheel bearings as well. Make sure that it's documented so that in the future if there are issues regarding the wheel bearing / hub you can point to it that they didn't install the wheel properly in the past which could lead...

I want straight cut gears. GIMME GIMME GIMME.
