If you are driving a Taycan - you really do need a dashcam IMHO. If you are not familiar with FitcamX, they make an integrated dash cams that replaces the plastic shroud at the bottom of your rearview mirrors for an OEM+ look. This aftermarket camera is better than any other model insofar as...

So yesterday morning …… mild weather, mild mannered, gentle shift fo drive .. and the plastic shroud on my gear shifter came apart in my hands …… anyone see this? Not sure what the fix is but sure it would not be cheap…..

Norway is the world leader when it comes to the take up of electric cars, which last year accounted for nine out of 10 new vehicles sold in the country. Can other nations learn from it? Last year, the number of electric cars on Norway's roads outnumbered those powered by petrol for the first...

I’m trying to navigate the tendency for people to conflate HV battery cells and HV battery modules when describing an issue or an HV repair project. It is clear that even my Porsche service advisor does not know the difference between a battery module and a battery cell. For anyone that has...

Well…… I may be the last one to the party …. But visiting a Country Hotel in Cambridge, Ont. Canada ?? ……. decided to get some air this morning and lo and behold I spot in the car park .not one but two Porsche Branded free charging units (look like 19.5kw) …… I have never seen that before ……...

So my 4S is in at the dealer for the Red circle of death - TBC once I get to know more. However - I have to drive 500 miles in next two days and so have a brand new delivery mileage Taycan loaner - when I tried to charge this brand new car at EA - it would not recognize the car in Plug and...

OK - so I had my second Red Circle of death incident last night- car was towed this morning - on both occasions my car was sitting in my garage for a few days (unlocked most of that time at least). My car key is stored 40-50ft away (not in a faraday box). My first time with this red circle...

So .... you may have seen my other thread here ... anyway the TLDR+ ... I got the red Circle of Death, Porsche Towed to Dealer ... sat for couple of weeks before dealer got to it, 12v battery drained mysteriously after a few days in dealer car park ... once they got to it they "jumped" the 12v...

So…. I have searched and cannot find a definitive answer. In the scenario of a CPO warranty matter - where the dealer has to keep the car for some time - is providing a loaner an obligation or a perk? For the life of me - until today I had always believed it was an obligation (and in 40 years...

So it is maybe my turn ….. heading out to Coronado today for a New Year’s party ….. got in the car last night and saw the dreaded red electrical system error …. Tow arranged to Palm Springs Porsche ….. let’s see where we end up………

Some interesting reading .... I know the likely response ... but I think this is a little more than click bait, some good data ..... and some of the links are an equally interesting read also.... https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20231204-why-us-drivers-may-be-thinking-about-evs-all-wrong

it has always surprised me that the controls on these range claims are not regulated better. https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/25/business/tesla-justice-probe-range-claim?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo

Behind paywall so here is the story…. Hopes for the mainstream adoption of electric cars have been punctured by figures revealing a fall of more than 11 per cent in the sale of zero-emission vehicles to private buyers. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders has said that motorists are...

interesting read if nothing else ……………… “It's time to debunk the widely circulated idea that Teslas are being written off en masse after relatively minor accidents; and debunk, too, the idea that EVs and their batteries are leading to runaway repair costs”…...

This is the real issue with EV charging (at least speaking for NA) …. I can safely predict the functional reliability of Fast Chargers will improve - and at the same time that EVs on the road are scaling significantly - then we will hit the power Infrastructure bottleneck …… shifting our...

OK … so I have had my “new to me” 13k miles MY2020 4S two days……….just two days!!!!!! ….. and I started my 1400 mile or so trip from SoCal to the PNW…. I have a few days stopover after 140 miles at a friends place in Laguna Beach…. and noticed today that no trip data had been recorded on the app...
