Sadly, that describes a lot of the connected experiences in PCM. The things that are local to the vehicle seem to be fine (the instrument cluster, the settings etc), but things that rely on the cloud services like the map overlays and the Apple music/podcasts integrations, seem to have random...

The flip side of that is that Rimac and Porsche work together on a lot of the tech and much of that development will find its way into Porsche cars. The Taycan and the Nevera are really not competing with each other at all. Anybody buying the Rimac can probably afford a Taycan as well for daily...

The labor for sure could be more here, but the hardware shouldn't be different. The upgrade of the EA site is probably the closest I could get for equipment cost. They swapped out 5 of the 6 dispensers (left the CHAdeMO one) and switched the power cabinets all for $83,000. That suggests those...

The price on some of these is doubtful. Here in Alameda there is an open permit for a new 12 stall Tesla super charger site, and the city permit lists the job value as $300,000. The earlier one here (done in 2018) showed just $140,000 as the job value. Can't find the permit for the original EA...

Typically they only share in pairs. Not sure why, but I suspect the power electronics in the backend cabinets becomes too expensive / complex to group more. The thing about sharing is that some people might want to get in & out quickly, and others might prefer to spend an hour or so getting...

The EA map shows a lot of 350 kW chargers up and down the whole east coast, but there are some states (including VT) that seem to have none at all. I can only see one > 150kW charger in Vermont - at a Ford dealer. Very strange that none of the network have installed 150kW+ units. I agree if...

The 80% thing is not about optimizing range. It is about optimizing time spent charging. Sure, if there are no chargers in range of 80% SoC, then you will need more, but if you can get to the next charger on ~80%, then you are better to charge to 80% and stop at the next one with a low state of...

I definitely think EA should do something about those charging over 80-85% - perhaps based on how many chargers are available (and working) at the location. If there are none available, charging should end at 80% and start the 10 minute grace period and then overstay fees. Over here in...

I'm with you on this, though I fear we are in the minority. The car play interface does seem toy-like to me, and worse the connectivity with the car for things like state of charge is unreliable - that could be on Porsche, but my experience with CP's new EV-aware navigation was not great because...

Mine has about 14,000 miles on Continental ProContact RX (21" Mission E wheels), but these are the M&S tires that they use here in California (which also gets you a nice sticker on the left of the dash telling you they have a lower top speed rating). Still plenty of tread on mine, but most of...

I am booked in for some repairs under the protection plan just after the holiday. First one was just from turning my wheels slightly too far when parking on a hill and the curb got the rim before the tire. Left rear was recent and from parking in a corner space and not noticing that part of the...

Is that a fixed time window to charge in (not familiar with UK plans - here the peak rate is fixed by time and day)? If it is, you could use the profile in the car to limit how much peak rate is used (it will always charge to the level set in the profile, and the lowest I can set that to seems...

They did not tell me much about that level, but they are not using open source technology; the platform they were using was from a large commercial software company and the people had worked there, but were hired away (no acquisition) to keep working on the project.

I needed a laugh, thanks! I don't know whether Porsche's connectivity is coming from the same team, but I did speak to a team from VW Cloud about a job opening they had, and honestly, there were quite a few red flags there. That team appeared to have started as consultants from an external...

My take as an expat living here in the US is that it is not just EVs that elicit this type of reaction. Those who have grown up here don't tolerate change well, and even worse if there is any perceived inconvenience associated with the change. Plastic bag laws in supermarkets, paper drinking...

It is up right now for me, but I didn't check at the end of last week. I am used to seeing outages on their cloud services, and to getting replies from the support team so late that the services are usually back online before they respond (and they never admit to downtime). The main issues I...

Pulled the car out of the garage yesterday to get the kids' bikes out, and lo and behold everything was back to active, the car no longer felt it was in private mode. The app on my phone is still stuck showing the car in private mode (unless it has gone down again overnight - I'll take a look...

No surprises, but I got in the car yesterday (just to move it out of the garage so the kids could get their bikes out) and lo and behold, all my online services were back on, and everything was active again. Either Verizon had their data network offline for ~24 hours (very, very unlikely, and...

in this case I am home where the app has very good connectivity. The car is connected, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say it has a strong signal in the garage. It does normally work enough that I can get status for things like charging and I can lock/unlock remotely when needed too. I totally...

Mine did the same thing yesterday (while I was out). All services went offline and I couldn't re-enable it. Last night, the car finally let me re-enable it, buy like you, the app was still stuck thinking the car was in private mode (and none of the connected services in the car, like Apple...
