Just my personal opinion here, but why would you want to distract from the beautiful lines of what is IMO the best looking sedan ever created. Red/Green, even white calipers grab your attention, and is that what you want people looking at? Why? If you're looking at painting your calipers, I...
Agree completely with the posters wanting more switches/knobs. (You can set the roller on the steering wheel to adjust volume).
I mean, who decided that switches/knobs were inferior to touch functions - ridiculous. Knobs for volume adjustment, temperature control, and VENTS! Also, make a...
I had one, possibly two bad cells in the battery - likely bad from the start and they were replaced. Noticed it when I had a significant decrease in range, and dealer couldn't see a problem. Once they ran the car down to 10%, they were able to see the error code.
As I've related in earlier threads, when my battery modules were replaced, they had to fly in a certified Porsche Battery Technician from Atlanta. He said there were only 11 in the US. The delay is probably due to getting a certified technician - they are the only ones that can work on the...
I think this will be the case. When I had my modules replaced, my dealer had to fly in a certified Porsche battery technician, and they only had 11 of these folks in the country. You may be one of the lucky one's that has one of these technicians at the dealership, but the odds aren't good. I...
I'm a believer that actual data on the specific car is better than general 'expert' recommendations. I have been charging pretty much every day for 3-1/2 years to 85%, and my range has not decreased at all and my OBD SOH is 94%. Additionally, I spoke with one of the 11 certified Porsche...
I will definitely wait for the true 'next generation' car with new battery chemistry/solid state. I've got a 7 year, 100K mile warranty, so I will watch from the sidelines, and drive what I think is the most beautiful (maybe ever...) sedan on the road today for the next 4 years.
I can't...
Very interesting - I can see your point. My wife's Mercedes is an SUV, so no 'sporty' driving at all. I can see your point about the powertrain 'confusion', because we drive the SUV in electric pretty much all the time, but we can do that because there is never any 'performance driving'. With...
Really?? I have not driven one, but that is really a disappointment if what you say is true - not sure what you meant by 'old people's home'. I loved driving my Panamera GTS for 100K miles, and I figured the hybrid would be the same/improved but with hybrid capabilities... 🤔
Eerily similar to the earlier problems. Very sorry to hear, and I can relate...
Lots of experience and information on this post:

Great discussion with some very good points. The 'European experience' with charging stations evidently as common as gas stations will be difficult to reproduce here. I think it is similar to trains - incredible infrastructure in Europe, not so great here. I hope there will be a real...
I will probably be pilloried, drawn and quartered etc. for this post, but I'm revising my opinion on all-electric cars.
First of all, I love my Turbo S. It is the best car I've ever had, and it is probably the most beautiful car I will ever own. The performance is staggering, and it is a...
I agree - individual trip numbers don't add up. Mine go from 4.9 to 1.8, but eyeballing the average, it's more like 2.5. Not sure how Porsche gets these numbers - it would be interesting if someone has the algorithm.
I learned about 'rebalancing' from the Porsche official battery technician, who was at the time one of 11 certified in the US. They flew him in from Atlanta to diagnose and fix my battery which was showing significantly reduced range and was discharging when sitting idle. He identified one...
