Even if he signs the EOs on day 1, CBP wouldn't be able to implement them that quickly. Their tariff schedule isn't designed for that kind of update. But yeah, they're coming.
I generally agree, but minor nit-pick:
Because the Macan uses 2 permanent-magnet synchronous motors instead of async motors (induction wound motors), it can't truly coast and loses a bit of efficiency. The feeling of coasting is software trickery. So long as the motor is spinning it, if you...
A few years ago (2 cars and 1 house ago) I had a JuiceBox Pro that I used the API to dynamically set the max charge rate based on the amount of solar our system produced. The minimum was 6 amps, but above that level it could be set to any integer up to the max charging rate, and I would see the...
Reducing tire noise generally requires some combination of tire tread, tire rubber composition, sound deadening material in the wheel wells, and active noise cancellation. The first 2 you can improve by shopping. The 3rd one can be done after sale, but it's really hard. The 4th one generally...
That is what will happen, but at that point the breaker upstream from the EVSE should trip if it goes over that limit, or if it runs hot long enough.
The communication of what charging rate the EVSE supports to the car is just based on resistance, with more resistance meaning less allowed draw...
Oh, well that's unfortunate. I'll need to decide if I'm willing to live with that limitation.
It would be nice if they let you define arbitrary time windows per day, and in each time window set the priority order of the following:
EV charging (from grid if needed)
EV charging from excess...
I doubt Porsche NA would do it early, especially since the Monroney sticker doesn't get created until it clears customs. They'll know at least a few days in advance that it's coming, so they can update the system to build the price increase in for all cars imported after day X. Why price...
Since the credit is part of the tax code he can't get rid of it as easy as he can implement tariffs, as he'll need legislation passed. Since they control all branches of government that will happen, but it will take a little longer and will likely be part of budget reconciliation, which will...
Because of that I looked up the manual for a 2025 Macan 4S, and noticed it lists 2 different part numbers for keys. The second part number, PPE1C-433 is actually FCC certified for 2 frequency ranges, and the 2nd of those is UWB. The Central Control Unit also has UWB radios in it according to...
My car prior to the iX was the Jaguar i-Pace. Really loved how that car handled. But it had this problem where for a lot of people, after a while it would basically put itself into Park (while driving) and couldn't get out of it. Turns out they didn't put enough slack into one of the cables...
I was really shocked when Toyota released the bz4x and the first recall had nothing to do with the electric powertrain, and instead it was because the wheels could literally fall off. The one aspect of cars that has been there since the beginning (even when some cars had the equivalent of...
