I don’t have any paperwork yet but what they do is that they use some port on the battery to screw in some part that they need to order per VIN and than they pressure test the battery for leakage.

Yes Porsche wants to order the kit for each VIN to keep track of it. I got mine tested and back after a week.

Mine is at the dealership for the recall. Apparently there is some new bulletin where Porsche wants to track each car affected by the recall. So what was planned as a one day pressure check is having its first delay already.

Ozone will break up the smell.

I think this is a bug where after an update not all settings were migrated properly. I had the same issue after the last update where the car would break to slow down hard to 55Mph with the limiter (what a blooper). When I checked the Range Menu later it was still set to 80Mph, and now that...

Maybe a Jackery with solar, but if you compare the jackery’s Battery capacity with the Taycan you will see that a car battery has an enormous capacity compared. So it might take a very very long time to charge on portable solar panels.

Even with the best automation and very good QA you do a staggered roll out because there is always something that can slip through.

Engineers are tuned to solve Problems. If there are no Problems to solve they will create some so they can solve those.

@WasserGKuehlt That argument breaks down in the solar use case, because you want to start as soon as the sun produces enough extra energy to charge the car for free and NOT wait until the last minute to start changing, because the sun is unpredictable due to cloud cover.

There is the cheaper electrons during the night use case, but what’s even more useful is the free electrons use case when you produce your own on the roof. And these are very common use cases, much more common than the road trip in cold weather scenario.

Indeed, I would like to add that a Minimum Charge at Destination for Navigation would also be a useful feature.

If it’s Regen only maybe it’s inverter wine by not potting the coils properly?

This is very good news! I am a bit surprised (and not at the same time) that it took them so long. In the past we did in car entertainment as a side gig and had a fake dash set up from day 1. Now let’s hope they start listening to end user feedback, have a collaboration for their ADAS systems...

So the charging to finish at the end of the timer makes sense from a cold climate point of view. But in case I would argue that only the time to leave is relevant. (Adding the start time to the UI just causes confusion for this use case) To start immediately at the beginning of the timer is the...

Its engineers overthinking the problem, by optimizing for a minority use case AND at the same time making it worse for everyone else. Sure when one lives in the bitter cold north without a garage, there is a good use case here. But who aside from the actual test drivers and a couple of people...

I mean you cannot deny that the UI can be significantly improved, if there are so many people confused about it. Sure as a human one can go though the pain and learn workarounds by doing manual calculations but this is what the computer should do. Computers were designed to do this, they are...

It’s not just the matter of changing the port. It’s all the road testing in the coldest and hottest of climates that takes time.

How it’s set up now is indeed unnecessarily complicated. The idea of charging the car to the last minute is absolutely over engineered and dumb. Who cares if the car sits a couple of hours or a night at that maximum desired charge level? It’s a useless use case. Doing the calculations manually...

Mine made it to 264mi at 100% yesterday after a road trip. I have 21inch wheels.

The software is the biggest issue: mainly because it’s probably not well documented, maybe Porsche does not even own it and whoever does wants to keep it proprietary. It’s also not like you can easily reverse engineer it. BTW my $0.02 of this entire Solid State Battery hype recently if they...
