    A good thwack - rebooting PCM occasionally…

Your answer...

    [FAQ] What exactly does the AR HUD do? [Augmented Reality Heads-Up Display]

    I optioned the AR HUD on my 2024 Macan EV Turbo - I'm a sucker for tech so I've would've done it even if it "wasn't" new - I'm also experience with Porsche/Audi HUDs and they are pretty standard and acceptable, but lack any WOW factor - I have the 2021 Cayenne TurboS eHybrid w/HUD - and it's a...

    [FAQ] - Why do EV's take such a big "hit" in cold weather…new owner overview

    it's well known to most potential EV owners that cold weather range takes a big hit with an EV - this surprising some people is a core reason in my opinion that has caused EV's to fall out of favor recently - I'm hoping this is temporary and EV's will come back and we're in a normal adoption...

    It's the small things… Porsche making progress in catching up tech-wise

    it's nice to see Porsche finally making progress in catching up techwise to other modern vehicles… so far 2+ weeks in I'm liking the progress I've noted in the following areas: the AR HUD is a major step in competitive tech and is no longer state of the art 2009 - good job Porsche this is a...
