my theory for why dealers don't take charge deposit is because they don't want to pay the credit card processing fee , they'd rather add that amount onto the check that you write them my dealership got really shifty with me about this. they made it seem like they were so gracious for not...

i'm curious if it is a visual bug. i always have regen off so was kind of curious to see if i could reproduce the issue, but since my center gauge shows map, i used the PCM Trip tab to check if brake pedeal was triggering regen. i tried a few times and couldn't reproduce the issue -- everytime i...

that's an interesting way to estimate battery capacity. i assume your formula is Battery capacity = (kwh used) / (Battery % used) the underlying assumption for this equation is that the battery % is accurate, which i had doubts about. to confirm my hypothesis, i recorded a trip i had from...

cant wait til summer -- we're gonna be ending our trips with more range than when we started ?

Someone is gonna stumble across this thread one day, miss the sarcasm, and be super confused how a community of EV-loving, climate-change deniers came to exist on this forum lol

finally got a good long look at one in the bay area! ive seen 2 others before today, but they were just fleeting glimpses. today i saw a dolomite silver macan 4 with temp plates and even drove alongside it in stop-and-go traffic for a little bit. i was so excited and i tried to wave to the...

nope no sound or warning. And I’ve found it to be extremely flaky during rain, disengaging on even the easiest roads, so have to be hyper vigilant cause it is constantly disengaging. I don’t use it in rainy conditions because of that. I’ve also found the collision warning to be pretty quiet. I...

if I had an autobahn the last thing I’d be looking at is the range of efficiency ?️ ?

ahh I see so it’s a side effect of quick deploy, not necessarily a built in feature

if you skip past my stupid post to read @daveo4EV’s write up, you’ll get an explanation for why single pedal driving isn’t used at the elite levels Ive never been on a racetrack though… and rarely gone above 100mph, so I cannot say if what he’s claiming has any veracity ?. But seems reasonable...

woohoo ? so my car doesn’t have a fever, he is just hot ?

are you referring to the proactive occupant protection feature? also, on the topic of seatbelts… why does it release smoke in the event of an accident?? is that to alert passersby to call 911 in the event that the driver is incapacitated? Good thing I stumbled across this while looking up the...

Will only doing DCFC for the first year have significant impact on the battery? I’m a cheap-ass so planning to only use EA free charging ? I usually charge 40-80% and usually the battery temp gets up to 105-110F. Makes me feel bad, like it got a fever ? I’ll fall back to home charging next...

quick update on gummi pflege, I don’t think it did anything…i applied it on sunroof and did a quick drive afterwards and still observed rattle. I then took a look and noticed there was a gap where the headliner meets the sunroof but only on one edge (front edge parallel to windshield. Plugged...

I feel like for lighter colors the car wash is not as big of a deal. i had a pearl white metallic Tesla model 3 and I hand washed it bc of all the fud about swirls… until one day I had an epiphany and was like “dude, why are you handwashing a 30k car…?” (That was before the ev market tanked...

I’ve also started seeing monster range in recent days as weather has warmed up in the Bay Area. Today I saw 0.277kwh/mile (equivalent to 340miles of range) on a round trip 20mile commute avging around 40-60mph

There is also no physical button to skip back on audio unless you waste your diamond button on it which imo is not worth it. these Porsche engineers clearly don’t listen to podcasts with ads as I often have to use the back button whenever I skip forward one too many times on an ad read I...

I noticed a sunroof rattle when going over bumpy surfaces too ? I noticed that closing the sunroof cover eliminates most of the sound , but that sucks cause I like having some natural light. I ordered some gummi pflege and will give that a shot to see if it eliminates the rattle

Wait you guys don’t have a BYOJ (bring your own jacket) rule? ?

What’s the betting line that this update will be delayed ?
