guys, why does Porsche limit the power to LC and P2P (Push to Pass)? Is it for range ratings? Reliability? That's what my local SA told me and it makes sense.

I know you're right, and thank you for your kind words. I feel I'm in good company here. My wife said I need to be patient, and she's right, but in the meantime I'm finding a few nicely equipped 2022's with some great options like Burmester rear 2+1, ACC, PB, and more. It's funny people spec a...

Hi guys, i’m not sure if you remember me, but I was shopping for a Taycan last year, looking a 4S dreaming about a Turbo S. Porsche graciously loaned us this car: After mulling over many cars, including a great deal on a black turbo S (colour and options just weren’t right for me) I...

Sorry for that interaction; it appears to have stemmed from jealousy. When faced with such situations, I often recall James Clear's response from his book "Atomic Habits": simply saying, "you might be right." This approach can save you a lot of time when dealing with such individuals. Out of...

well said, and a nice read, thank you 😊

re: National diets I've just come back from England, and I was genuinely surprised by the difficulty of getting any side dish other than deep-fried chips or seeing a man enjoying a meal without a pint of beer! 😀😉 Through making thoughtful substitutions and keeping up with workouts at the hotel...

Maybe there are threads but I'm referring to the people I've bumped into over the years. No one has ever mentioned the gas milage of their 911 to me. On the other hand I've yet to have an EV chat with anyone that hasn't has me how far I can go on a charge and how long it takes me to "fill up." 😊...

The Youtuber MKBHD did a mini review on the Taycan Turbo vs Plaid and the efficiency of each, it was interesting. MKBHD Taycan vs Telsa efficiency The whole video: Porsche Taycan Turbo: I Almost Switched! [Auto Focus Ep 6] Bottom line: He loves the Taycan's quality and driving dynamics, but...

Don’t sweat it. Google “rim repair near me.” That’s what I did after my wife came a little close with the back wheel and grazed a curb. C$175 for rush service, $125 for 2 week turn around. I was about to put in the winter’s on, so I didn’t rush it. Fast forward to late winter early spring. I...

Hello Bobby, I apologize that you're facing this issue with the persistent red circle, which appears to be quite concerning. 🤨 Can I be candid without causing offense? A couple I know just returned from their honeymoon in Hawaii and labeled it a paradise. They mentioned it should be a...

In our neighbouring city in Canada, Montreal we went to the F1 race last year. There were 4 chargers in front of our hotel and 48 other ones around Montreal. Toronto has got a ways to go to catch our French neighbour! Best part was charging, was a dollar an hour for eight hours with a four hour...

It’s about mindset. I’ve had an EV for 8 years now, range anxiety happened only once rolling into a target in upstate New York with 50 miles in the tank :) we’ve done a few 1500 mile road trips with no issues, and my wife always seem to find destination chargers at the hotel.

Thanks very much for the detailed explanation as always! I inquired about the 19.2 kit and it’s almost C6K installed here, that’s pretty steep. T used to offer it for about $1000 more than Porsche’s price $(2800 vs 1800) but it was dealer only installed, called a dual charger. It was a luxury...

oh that’s EA or EC’s network? Thanks for clarifying!

I think another poster nailed it when he said people expect these things to do everything at max: max power max range max features. Maybe it stands to reason as they’re max price! my c63 v8 was 481hp and I filled up every 4 days. What a gas guzzler. EPA MPG Premium Gasoline 15 combined...

it’s true and I’m sure most forums go this way at one point or another. Without the interjection of positivity many conversations can go this way, and a downward spiral! My point was it’s a Porsche and drive it as such, or creep around hypemiling then be sure to come here and tell us how you...

That makes perfect sense. How much heavier is the PB+? What sort of range do you get with your car?

"if you want range, get a Tesla long range vehicle." True, and drive it like a Tesla for long range. I've driven a Plaid with 21's and in normal driving, no full acceleration, I got 232Wh/Km with their 99KWh battery which equates to ~427KM or 265 miles, on a car that indicates 560KM on a full...

It seems every week someone is complaining about the range on their Taycan. 199 Miles on a full charge?!?! 220 Miles with 100% SOC?!?! Right, I get it, I've complained a fair bit about the display (you guys call in the guess-o-meter lol) only showing 375KM when I get in the car. One I test...

YES! Someone Advised me the MY20 will not start charging automatically unless Started Through App. This seems a bit, ummm, bananas? For lack of a better word! 😀 What in the world doesn't start charging when you plug in it?! (waiting for the list of devices!) I can hear Helmut, the lead...
