In my experience, you don’t need to leave your car. Just shut it off, open and close the driver’s door and lock the car with the key. After three or four minutes unlock the car and voilá, most errors are cleared. It is enough time although some people say to leave it 15-20 minutes without the key. Also don’t move or disconnect the interior movement sensors or the alarm will go off. Try it and share results. I know this is little relief but at least you don’t freeze or roast… you can set cooling or heating as appropriate too.

Where to next? Current thinking is late summer in Slovenia and Croatia.
Great!
i hope that you’ll have some time in Slovenia, I’d love to meet you and be your host!
i’ll have plenty of time, since I’ll be retired.

Have you been to a Hippopotamus outlet in France @Scandinavian ?

If we do this trip – I think it would mostly be in Slovenia. Despite growing up and living on a (relatively large) island – we have more affinity for mountains and forests than coastlines.

We have plenty of forests and mountains…let me know if you need any suggestions where to go/what to see…. The good thing of small country - you can be near the sea and on Alps…on the same day, with one charge of the battery :like:

But the real performance was from our tyres – the Pirelli PZero Winter NF0 – we just can't believe how impressive they were. Before this trip we had never driven even 100 meters on proper snow and ice and this car and tyre combination proved to be so capable and reassuring.
great trip report, thanks!

I can confirm as well, great Italians. Have very same setup for winter (rims+tires), tried them multiple times in past 2 months in Swiss alps and Dolomites, even in fresh snow. My impression: Very good lateral grip and solid braking. In harsh conditions, I still prefer the Alpin 5 (on the G for example) for they feel softer and more grippy, but nonetheless Pzero is an impressive tire.

Hi, yes I have been to a few of the Hippopotamus along the motorways. In fact we always prefer to stop at these when travelling long distances. It is a very good place to eat with good choices and not like all the other fast food outlets. They prepare the food from the Order so it might take a bit more time compared to other eateries, but in well worth the wait. And the best thing is that their facilities normally are very clean and have fresh restrooms.

Since there are so many good small family run restaurants in France, an alternative is to leave the motorway and find a small restaurant. However remember that the French love their food and so the lunch breaks here are 2 hours! ??

We use A Better Route Planner (a paid account to support the company) to help find the best chargers. Every days route is saved as a plan in the service – to aid tweaking – when on the way.

We send each days route & waypoints to the car using the Porsche Connect app – and I guess the My Porsche app in the future when/if its bugs get out of the way.
I have been following the journey with much interest. How did you transfer the ABRP travel schedule into the myporsche app (or connect)?

I know that you can send destinations to the car via app (one by one) but not build a trip with multiple waypoints? Or any other form of export from ABRP?

edit: I know with ABRP premium you can send it to CarPlay but it won't pre condition the battery so for fast charging on the road it's not useful (as you mentioned)

The "old" Porsche Connect allows you to add waypoints – and not just destinations – so you can send an entire route. Porsche have assured me that functionality will come to the newer MyPorsche app in time.

Additionally – though its not fully complete yet – I am building a direct connection – by reverse engineering the Porsche APIs – to allow direct sending of ABRP routes to the car – by passing Porsche's apps.

Oh nice, this is you? I set a watch on this repo a long time ago. Best of luck :)

Hotels

Here is the data on the hotels we stayed in during this road-trip with an emphasis on destination charging. We book as much through hotels.com as possible to build up points.

Numbers.app version

Sometimes the forum renders these a little unusually. If click the option to open it to a new tab or download the image – it will be clear.
