This is a cool project, but I wouldn't embark on it unless you have a donor chassis which is ready for parts already. Very hard to justify tearing up a perfectly good 4S. A more interesting (and maybe easier) project is to swap a Turbo S drive unit into another chassis and make it rip instead...
There must be some sort of glitch, especially if it's not letting you charge above 40% or if you don't have any profiles. The 255 may be representing 100% in binary (8 bit), where the car should display the decimal number for you instead. But I'm not actually sure what the glitch is or why it's...
This was actually very insightful lol. I really liked the part about enjoying the dream of something rather than the reality of it. I can also respect driving everything you own with no special precaution. I would do the same for any rare car if I could afford the cost of replacing the car...
Got it. I agree - I hate when things are behind a black box. I like to understand the inner workings of stuff and how I can improve them for my applications (like going fast!)
Can you share more about this? What aspects of your cars did you hack? Were you able to get more performance out of them?
To add my $0.02, heat is the biggest enemy of EVs. As long as you manage your heat in the drive train, you can extract as much performance as you want. At this point, you...
Holy SHIT that looks amazing without the arches! That is the closest look to a Sport Turismo I've seen from a Cross Turismo and it makes me want one more 🔥
I am very excited for someone to actually get behind the scenes of a Taycan and tune it for real! (Motor thermal & hardware limitations allowing). I suspect you'd have to start with CAN-bus messages to understand how components of the car communicate, then understand where applicable look-up...
ESPECIALLY if you're in the UK, give yourself a lil change of scenery and Mamba Green all the way! We have enough white, gray, silver, and black cars on the road :CWL:
Okay! I was actually all for it when I saw the renders! But then I saw the IRL photos and I'm not so sure anymore. If you want something that really pops and is tasteful, you can't beat Mamba Green over Satin Aurum wheels and Truffle Brown leather :like:
But it looks like you may have reached...
These are the type of people we need speccing these cars! Enough black, white, gray, and silver with all these fantastic PTS colors :rock: I am a big fan of greens but prefer darker greens like Racing Green Metallic.
On another note, after reading though some of the earlier posts in this...
It's all down to cooling. Porsche decided that, to stay under thermal limits, the power available at overboost cannot be maintained for longer periods. The chief reason for this is the risk of demagnetizing the permanent magnets in the motor's rotor which would be very bad. Other reasons are...
