I am always amused by assumptions people make. Another way to look at it is that anyone with actual money buys what they like, or perceives as better value, while not giving a rat’s ass what others think. Maybe they liked the fake tires better.

56 pages in, anyone can tell if there is a newer version than the 0.90b available (link from original post)?

12V is actually required for almost any function. Bad 12V can cause a huge list of seemingly unrelated errors to pop up. If you have an OBD2 scanner, see what errors you can see (you can use free tools like CarScanner, as long as you get a BT adapter, or use the Tcan Pro from the link below...

12V dying means that one or more of the following needs repair: 12V battery DC-2-DC converter - it is responsible for charging the 12V battery from the HV battery HV battery - it feeds the DC-2-DC converter Since #3 is covered by warranty, even if both #1 and #2 need replacement, it shouldn't...

If you listen to the video I linked, you will know why.

Sadly, Porsche seems rather lost in the 21st century tech. Internet and connected services are is still black magic to them, as are processes such as Continuous Integration via OTA. VWAG really should have invested in proper car connectivity for all sub-brands to share and then let the...

No shit. I went looking for transistors to replace the underspeced MOSFETS in Porsche Taycan OBC. The tariffs on those are almost half the sale price!!! 🤯 The number below if from Digikey, but I checked other suppliers, they charge similar percentage! Given that it's 48% of the (marked up) sale...

Does the PCM acquire an IP from your WiFi hotspot, and does it send/receive any traffic?

I get the fear. However, what is the alternative? Should a car company just keep making uncompetitive products until the company declares bankruptcy and shuts off the lights? Are those worders willing to keep working for free making cars which nobody wants to buy (since there will not be money...

Carrara White Metallic was a standard color on the Taycan, it's a PTS color now. It was free on my Turbo, would cost $14K to put on a new Taycan.

I'm worried there will be bailouts needed by German government to keep VW afloat. Perhaps VW will truly become German people's car - company majority owned by the government and ran by the government. For some reason, when I read about VW, Fry's Electronics comes to mind, another family ran...

Gotta love this quote: which if you think about it, translates to "I went to board with not to smart ideas, but they gave me the smarter ideas to implement". So now the question is, why would the board want to keep a CEO who proposes stupid ideas?

$121,500 initial exploratory fee to even start the process, I wonder how much they charged for individual options, like the colored clock frame.

I saw this in my newsfeed recently, I was a little surprised as I always thought Sonderwunsch involved a lot more customization than just PTS+ and minor interior color changes. When I first saw the headline I thought it would have been a 2 door Turbo GT.

I wonder if they also added simulated engine damage if you redline it too much - simulated Engine light ON, car goes into turtle mode. Perhaps even simulated engine repair visits to the dealer. ;)

Interesting quote from the article: In the US configurator this appears to be optional. Perhaps Porsche is making it standard in some regions, or MT was misinformed, or it's just another hallucination (by AI or humans)?

VWAG finally discovered A/B boot partition concept! Evidently MT reviewers also think it's new - I know for a fact Tesla has been doing it since 2012. The comment from MT about Tesla taking longer is because Tesla updates all parts of the car during an OTA, while the MIB4 update they are...

When I was probing my Euro lights, there were pulses on the LIN pin whenever I applied turn signal voltage for example, so that would tell me those are not disconnected altogether inside the light. Is it possibly that the CAN addressing is different? It should be possible to scan the LIN bus of...

Maybe PCNA is playing games, create artificial scarcity of Turbo GT (questionable strategy IMHO, but hey, they know what they're doing I hope). Probably sufficient to push 6 people in a country of 342M people to buy a 1 year old Taycan Turbo GT for as much as $100K off a quarter million+ car...
