The thing I learn from this is that at Porsche they really do not follow the forums, and yes, now days you do not even need to do it via a human ... the fact that they do not pick this up is borderline crazy ...
I do not have proof, but BMW is watching this kind of backlash and fix or add...
Go for the cheaper one, you always will have less depreciation, and there are always people that want the fastest. There is no noticeable improvement from a hardware perspective, not more range, not faster charging, only Apple CarKey support, if that is important to you That could be a factor...
Agree and if you can start with a warm battery your gain will be like 5 minutes max, and less strain on the battery when you rip the car through the 🏔️
I did the test on a 1000km trip one departing with a warm battery and one with a cold battery coming back.
But some claim that pre conditioning...
- Plenty of proof, if not why is regen and or charging limited when battery is cold, because it will accelerate damage/degradation ... ✅
- using the plan, Ah so you do use preheating ✅
- the video and my test show clearly more capacity, for instance when I do a capacity measure with my iX (a...
+ the fact you loose an additional 20 to 30 minutes on your first charge with a cold battery
+ the fact that you induce less wear/degradation on the battery
+ you get more range so nullifying the energy used to preheat …
Anyway I think I have proven that my overall energy consumption at...
The trip going there was identical in regards to average consumption … there is not much uphill / downhill highest point on the trip is 1200 but we do not stay there so it is just on the way …
it’s more of a 1000km with 900 km being rather flat so no it has nothing todo with elevation 😜
Done clear PPF to my black Turbo, have one part already damaged by someone, nice to know I can mow just replace that part. Other benefit, black is very sensitive optically to micro scratches when washing ... now after one year it still looks as from factory ...
I have posted this over and over again:
- I posted a video that shows that the energy spent on warming up the battery has a positive outcome, the battery will be able to give more energy than what the pre heating spends ... that was done with a Skoda but that doesn't matter.
- yes program a DC...
When roadtripping when it’s cold, I make sure my battery is nice and warm, above 20C as this increases capacity, lowers consumption and makes the pre conditioning to your DC charger quicker and spent less to no energy … effect for me is about 15 to 30 minutes less wasted time … This is not...
I do not know if the home charging is solved yes or no, but I think the issue is not the voltage it’s the neutral line and or grounding. We had a power outage and when they fixed it temporary for a few hours all devices worked except my fridge … I checked the wall plug and it was delivering 230v...
We had some icy roads and slush the past weeks, nothing to dramatic but the car handles like a dream. I have the Goodyear winter tires on, 20 inch. Traction control is smooth and stopping is as usual no ABS doing funky pulse breaking. Overall a stable experience.
On paper it seems a lot bigger for the passenger it is not that more roomy, I have 3 teens and the leg room is not that much better especially compared to Chinese offerings, I do not understand where the space really is … the trunk in bigger on paper, I should really test it as visually I was...
After seen the Cayenne in the flesh I’m not really impressed not much more practical space and “uglier”, though that is personal … I hold final judgement till after the introduction of the coupe …
