I think it theoretically should be possible with the older ones too, as you can put the cars in N while driving and it will coast. The brake booster is an ebrakebooster and it is possible to adjust level of regen on the older cars, but also via third party control like enhance app.
I dont know...
I once arrived at en escooter that was smoking, so I stopped my car and called the fire dept. Smoke came (enormous amounts) out and it smelled like rotten eggs.
On the other hand, it may be mold in your cabin filter too. So I would try to swap it if it's not very new in age or km.
if not connected, I would park it with 80%.
If connected, maybe 70%.
Battery has it best at 50%, but something unexpected might happend, like a power outage in your area or that you suddenly have to driver longer than you thought, same day as you arrive.
The negative side of 50% is also less...
I don’t understand the logic behind saying one-pedal driving is less safe because you can still use the brake.
For context, I frequently drive on very steep and narrow roads, often just wide enough for a single car. With one-pedal driving, I can control my speed by easing off the accelerator...
Good pointers, I would also put this on Tesla pros (on the newer ones):
* Netflix on the front and rear screen makes ferrys and charging better with good sound immersion
* Youtube music and spotify built in apps + many more
* Can connect game pads (wireles), so kids kan play small games while...
I must say people went a little overboard in this thread, I can in some way agree with people who say coasting is more efficcient than regen.
And of course that is because when you regen, you have heat loss.
BUT: on the other hand, if you coast, you may end up with too high speed and then...
yes, he however needs two rear facing kids seats, stroller etc. so then its a practical transport device. But I would wait for the refresh, even if he buys something else than Model Y, the competition will heat up in the "practical car" segment. Since the refresh drops now quite soon, I would do...
Should be said people have different leg lengths also, I am 6 feet (or 183cm), but I have longer legs than a colleague who is 190cm (6 foot 2). We had a stair running competition where we had to to fewest number of steps, so everyone measured the inseam.
The difference inseam height (and also...
If I were you I would wait a small time and see how the refreshed Model Y is, since its quite practical already. The refresh should bring a lot of the improvements one has seen on the Model 3, but you have the large rear hatch, foldable rear set with split, tow hitch option etc.
Even if you...
If it is to happend, I think it has to be some sort of "right to repair" that EU forces on manufacturers, like forcing them to open up more and forcing them a "max price" of a battery replacement etc.
I doubt Porsche has any incentive to very much reduce the costs of older cars, as they want...
I don't think any company will do it, unless Porsche creates a service menu like in the Teslas, but also add a DIY battery replacement function.
But I doubt they will due to liability. If a manufacturer let's someone DIY replace high voltage systems, in many countries they would be liabile and...
Just a random guess: It may be a sign of bad memory/overheating, as this is kindof what I used to see "back in the days" before ECC memory was used in GPUs, as I'm an oldschool overclocker :P But it always looked like this if the memory was not ECC and was pushed too far.
Since Porsche sold these cars with the advertisement that they can repair batteries etc, I think its a case of "false advertisement" ? Maybe you can sue them in your country?
I think you should talk to your countries consumer law agency, most likely so long time with such a deprecating asset - and beeing locked in/unable to sell/trade it, means they have to buy it back or at least give you the cash difference of the deprecation and other financial costs that occur...
