    2 wrongs don't make a right, or why Lucid is no better: "Owning A Lucid Has Been Super Disappointing" (Engineering Explained)

    That plant was likely a condition for receiving more Saudi money. Though I bet they are planning on selling into the middle east and europe, not exporting to North America.

    2 wrongs don't make a right, or why Lucid is no better: "Owning A Lucid Has Been Super Disappointing" (Engineering Explained)

    They are building a factory in Saudi Arabia. I think the Saudis are playing the long game here New Saudi Lucid Factory

    2025 Macan EV Production & Sales Numbers (and more model level info)

    Thanks! I was wondering how 2025 sales went. Would be interesting to know the Macan EV sales by region. I have yet to see another one on the road near me in Pennsylvania

    Impact of cruising speed on range

    I've had the same experience with the PCM in cold weather, it tends to be conservative by a few percent

    Electric Sport Sound - equip it or not?

    I like the sound the car makes on its own. Is it artificial, or is that the actual sound the drivetrain makes?

    [ADVICE] How much discount off MSRP can you expect from ordering a new MY2026 Macan EV?

    Yeah, we did both, off the lot at the end of November. Got 10% off sticker without even asking, We had found an S at another dealer that we were asking them to pull in for us, and they basically offered the same deal for the Turbo that was on the lot. It had what we wanted and more, so we went...

    VR28.13 Software Update

    I had assistance system issues that the dealer traced to misaligned sensors that were throwing codes. So if those persist, and you believe the software is up to date and working, make sure the dealer is checking the hardware.

    Race-tex VS full leather - Thoughts?

    I had an alcantara wheel on an E63 AMG sedan. It did need regular cleaning. There is a good Sonax product for this purpose, but you have to be very patient and not rub the fabric to not end up with a bunch of pilling on the wheel. If that happens, it still feels great to use, just doesn't...

    Quick Question: if charging station added manually to a route in PCP does the battery get preconditioned?

    Thanks, @Yves. I see the difference in the PCP. I do have chrono, so do have the option to use sport+, but that will be a last resort.

    Quick Question: if charging station added manually to a route in PCP does the battery get preconditioned?

    Yeah, I spent some time this morning, and @W1NGE is correct. You can add a stopover as just a stopover, or as a charging station, and if the latter, it shows up in the planner with the gear icon to see the detail of the station (slider for amount of time, number of open stations). I’ve got my...

    Quick Question: if charging station added manually to a route in PCP does the battery get preconditioned?

    Can't find this answer in the owners manual or in Ask Porsche. It seems like it should, but I don't want a nasty surprise in upcoming cold weather travel.....TIA Jim

    Need an AC NACS adapter….quickly

    @daveo4EV Thanks for all the helpful advice! Sorry if I led you astray, but my friends charger is not a Tesla brand. I'm pretty sure its an Emporia with a NACS connection (verifying that with her). She doesn't have an EV yet, but is planning on buying one in 2026. So this will be a...

    Need an AC NACS adapter….quickly

    @jwatte You bet! The wall plug charger lives in the frunk, and will serve as the ultimate backup for power if needed.

    Need an AC NACS adapter….quickly

    I’m leaving in a couple days for a trip to a friends house, who has a NACS home charging setup. I mistakenly thought that the Porsche NACS adapter would be what I need, but after reading the literature that came with it (i got it today…) I noted that it only works for DC charging, not AC. So...

    Problems with Homelink Pairing to Garage Door Opener?

    your best move is to refer to the user guide for the garage door opener. I was not successful until i read in the manual how to put it in program mode, it wasn't intuitive from the buttons on the opener itself. Once you get it in program mode, the instructions on the car work, except that you...
