It's better in every single way
umm no..
it’s still CCS1 with no supercharger access yet
and OTA updates are still a fantasy
and it’s PCM software is still slow and takes forever to boot and launch apps
innodrive still sucks
and the backup camera aspect ratio is still horrible
mechanically i’m...
I can see this and understand the perspective…EV ownership is a problem without reliable fast charging - EA's mismanagement of their charging network is doing lasting physical, emotional, and physiological damage - it's a shame really - because EV's are really no problem _IF_ the charging...
also - let's be clear on my position…
do I believe this tune will cause problems? no I do not!! I have zero concern about the tune causing an actual problem…
can a tune like this cause a problem? only maybe and only in certain circumstances - but it pretty unlikely in my opinion.
but when...
also tuning your Taycan and then selling it before the 8 year/100,000 mile warranty is up - and then having a future owner be denied a warranty claim when porsche does a deep dive on the ECU and finds out it's been messed with…
yeah that's going to be one messy lawsuit…
tune your car, but...
no I don't understand why people need to do this when it's very very likely if you have a warranty issue Porsche will walk all over you because of this ECU modification - it's a huge risk for $60k warranty claim if you ever need Porsche to honor the warranty…
an ECU is going to give them a pretty broad space with in which to make a claim
it is by definaition the "Engine Control Unit" - there is not much more a sensitive part responsible for the vehicle's mechanical integrity - this is hardly a "dash cam" we're talking about.
more and more the electronics these days are "paired/registered" to the VIN - replacing/swapping units requires factory authorized reprogramming with a "live" PWISS talking to germany to "bless/sign" the pairing…
messing with something like the ECU is taking on a lot of warranty risks…
I'm not...
the point is they don't have to prove it - once you've modified the car they are "off the hook" and they can claim anything they want…and then it's an uphill battle for _YOU_ to prove it didn't cause the problem.
most likely yes - if you've modified the vehicle and Porsche wants to they can void the warranty - and they will do so if it suite their purposes and you'd have very very little recourse…
this is a very risky path and you're simply handing Porsche an excuse on a silver platter if they want to...
I love this in theory - but honestly I wouldn't want to give Porsche _ANY_ remote excuse to deny warranty claims on the 8 year/100,000 battery/EV drive train warranty…
good luck to anyone who'd done this and has a battery issue @ 60k miles 5 1/2 years after purchase of the vehicle…
when I drove my Model 3 performance on track - I found it very very difficult to predict the amount of weight transfer when lifting off the throttle due to a very very variable amount of regen from lap to lap…with the Taycan it's very predictable…
I agree porsche shoudl support one pedal...
Regen is via the brakes pedal only - not lift off the accelerator - you're getting regen but only when you use the brake pedal.
this is by design and normal - Porsche does not support heavy regen via accelerator pedal - if you want to see how muich regen you're getting you can use the 'power...
