The spacing in the Zunnsport grill inserts, from the pictures and video they have, look like they could still allow a decent amount of small pebbles/rocks to pass through if they don't hit the steel and get diverted. I looked over their site but can't find the information, what is the size of...
A) The US government has no legal framework to insert itself into the daily decision making of US companies. In outlier situations of misconduct, bankruptcy, fraud or other similar situations yes, they can but those are not the norm. Unlike the chinese government which needs no prelude or...
I picked up my Taycan and it seems okay. They replaced 5 cells. Hopefully this doesn't become a pattern. The car is no longer under the CPO though I do have the Fidelity plan.
I have to ask, would you guys really be okay driving a chinese car? The grip its totalitarian government has over domestic businesses is alarming. If the government tells them to add hardware or software that spies on the owner/driver, they cannot refuse. Not that they need it but being in bed...
These are helpful but don’t outline a specific procedure or process. Neither document actually has language advising not to disconnect or guidance on how long to leave the 12v battery disconnected if doing so is necessary.
I’m trying to see if the dealer is taking steps to protect the 12v...
Is there a Porsche official document for guidance related to the 12v battery? How it should be maintained or treated in abnormal conditions?
Such as longer than 3 months storage without an electrical source, disconnection from the HVB system or any other scenario where it cannot
benefit from the...
The sport plus mode implies the person isn't on a road trip trying to time stops and needing mileage to last, not burn it up driving around in sports mode or driving spiritedly.
Or am I wrong, driving in sport mode doesn't use more battery unless you drive spiritedly
I don't think of it as fear mongering one bit. You have your opinion, I have mine. I also wouldn't want to drive a car that had an accident severe enough to warrant a frame machine. Not a fender bender type of collision, the kind where the car has to be "straightened". I'd rather not drive that...
And I'll add to this the preceding.
Not long ago my Taycan was at the dealer for the brake hose recall. It sat, undisturbed for weeks. Not moved, not driven, not charged. Only ;ater did I learn this was not in compliance with Porsche policy for extended storage and that it can have a...
Don't take my post out of context. I'm not saying that people cannot perform workmanship on par with robotics. What I am saying is that robotics are consistent. They don't suffer sleep deprivation, get angry or depressed, tired or sick but to go work anyway.
Yes, outlier events happen that lead...
I'm not thrilled with having the battery pack opened and individual modules/cells replaced. I liken it to having the guys at the mall opening my iphone. Hell, I'll even go so far as to include having it opened by Apple. Once it's opened, it never gets sealed back up the same as the factory did...
My guess is that this one sentence is key and I've italicized the operative words.
"If the previous high-voltage battery needs to be replaced, replace it with a high-voltage battery from model year 2025onwards. "
I asked AI (yea, go ahead, gimme that look) about mixing new and old lithium batteries.
This is what it had to say, which is consistent with what I've read and have been told about battery chemistry. What information does Porsche have that the internet doesn't?
why should new and old lithium...
My SA just confirmed. They're replacing just 5 of the 33 high voltage cell modules. Porsche told them test afterward and report the results.
I guess all those battery operated electronic devices I've had over the years that cautioned in the manual to never mix old batteries with new ones was...
So I had the yellow circle 2 months ago. Brought it in, they did an update and it cleared the error. Well, 3 weeks ago that error came back, with a friend. Chassis Error. Brought it in a few days ago and they let me know Porsche told them to replace the high voltage cells. I thought the new...
My computers lack Ethernet ports, at least the portable ones. I found one that uses an Ethernet to USB adapter but doesn’t specifically mention compatibility with mapev. I’ll try it.
My preferred dealer is Hendrick Porsche in Durham. The closer one is staffed by sharks and idiots.
So the error is generic and not really specific to one system?
The dealer asked me a few questions about how it’s charging when I made the appointment. Thus far, it’s charging normally.
What do...
