I got 156 miles with 4 miles left driving at average of 57 mph. That doesn't match my experience. I get almost 250 miles going up to 75 mph. I wonder what's different?

Is your garage door actually Homelink? I got one that's otherwise good, but wasn't Homelink by default. I had to talk to the manufacturer and they sent a homelink compatible opener, and when using that one, programming worked. (This is some license payment trademark shenanigans AFAICT)

Right, but when it's been measured, it hasn't actually proven out, for the normal speaker designs measured. For what it's worth, I used to be vehemently against "snake oil" because I was on the pro side of audio. Until I realized that the consumer is buying an experience, and it's what the...

Right, but the setting name is "the emergency stop function." I'll try to ask the service advisor what each of the features actually mean, and see if they can find out from headquarters, because I don't think the manual is all that helpful if you haven't already memorized all the...

This is a myth. No modern speakers change measurably with "break in." In fact, there's probably more difference between cars built on different days, than there is between the same car when new, and the car after 500 hours of listening. Of course, this is a human perception thing, so if you...

> Try Car -> Assistance -> Gear icon -> Assistance system settings-> Additional functions -> Distance warning Thank you. I've tried that, too, it affects the yellow triangle that hovers over the car in front of me if I start tailgating. I also have this on low, and it doesn't affect the early...

That documents how to turn down the emergency *braking* function. I'm talking about the red collision warning indicator in the HUD and the ding sound that warns about possible collision. It is frequently way too sensitive, and the car does not actually brake when it shows this warning (because...

The Bose certainly is better than the default, although it does take up some of the trunk under-lid space for the subwoofer. It's perfectly fine sound quality for normal listening, but does start to sound strained at the "I really shouldn't be listening at this level" levels. Kinds of music...

Full PPF absolutely worth it in the case you're suggesting. Any top brand will work fine. (3M, Xpel, SunTek ...) Even more important is finding an installer who has done it for years, and who is well recommended locally. In my opinion, ceramic might look a little better for a month, but doesn't...

Where on the *Porsche macan EV* do you set this?

My Audi GT / J1 had sensitivity settings for the collision warning/emergency braking, but the Macan does not. And, boy, is the collision warning sensitive! I haven't had a false positive braking yet, luckily, but the red circle and chime is a constant menace, and the only settings that can be...

I get the feeling I didn't sufficiently clearly communicate the advice. Here's the clearer version (which is free advice, so, do with it as you wish): "No matter what result you get out of the dealer, unless you're looking for a lot of headache for essentially zero gain, involving any kind of...

100% charge, driving 55 mph (90 kmph) in reasonable temperature, on 20 inch wheels, I can probably do >320 imperial miles in the Turbo. (I haven't done this at the full length, but this is what the math says.) Cold weather, 75+ mph, hilly terrain, not wanting to stay at 100% charge ... 250...

My rule of thumb is to not involve a lawyer unless: 1. you're 100% certain you're right (seems you are in this case!) 2. there's at least $100k of recovery possible (seems unlikely in this case!) 3. you're not interested in remaining on good terms with the dealership (I don't know what your end...

Yeah, sales can do nothing after the fact. This is a branch manager kind of thing (or general manager.) And, no, customer service vehicles are not intended to be available for arbitrary use. You don't have liability coverage for other people, for example. The service may use the car for road...

I agree with the suggestion to add thermal/noise insulated windows, and probably 20" rims so you get more insulation in the tires. I have both options, and the ride is nice and quiet. Certainly no worse in loudness than my son's Polestar 2.

Why, yes, it does :-)

I did something similar for my underbody glow. It runs a Teensy4 microcontroller, and uses the ADC to control light brightness. It's hooked up to the rear 12V outlet wiring (tapped in behind the panel) and I use the "13V or below -- ignition off" to tone down the lights to half brightness. I...

I made a similar transition -- Audi e-tron GT (also J1 platform) to Macan. I really do miss the rock stable hugging the road, but I don't miss the super-low front or the two-speed transmission or low entry/exit at all. Also, I made a different color/performance choice, but, to each their own :-)...

I agree that you have to manually park, because the margins needed for the park assists are much bigger than what's actually available around here, and I can squeeze into available spaces much better than the automation. I also learned driving on a stick (VW Golf GTI, baby!) High-beams, rear...
