To date Prosche has shipped a "flawed" EVSE in North America - there have been several "similar" EVSE's shipped since the original 918 Spyder and Panamera/Cayenne eHybrid -these have been known by various names: Porsche Mobile Charger Porsche Model Charger + Porsche Mobile Connect Charger...

here is the shot un-cropped - the other Cayenne's are clearly ICE's …

way too much going on and I didn't pay close enough attention - and was lacking a paddock pass - but was at the Monaco F1 race this past weekend and enjoy'd the PORSCHE Supercup race - all the teams had ICE Cayenne's as support vehicle's while they were in the pits prepping for their race - but...

the most interesting point in this entire video is Porsche stating that wireL1 charging is only 60% effective vs. 96% efficient for wire L2 charging… this perhaps provides insight into their bias against L1 charging immortalized in writing for a Taycan North American charging bulletin… the...

nothing concrete - they only report "all cayennes" - they also don't break it down by trim level https://newsroom.porsche.com/en_US/2025/company/porsche-reports-q3-2025-us-retail-sales.html I also asked ChatGPT to break it out and it couldn't find the data broken down _IF_ Porsche chooses to...

I would suggest/speculate/guess any "unannounced" Porsche EV plans are delay'd or being reconsidered with a new CEO and EV hostile business environment and executive team… I honestly believe that if Porsche had it's preferences at this point they would've never gone forward with the Cayenne EV…...

was picking up my 2021 Cayenne TurboS eHybrid from service today - complete hybrid battery replaced under warranty - car is good now :rock: talking with General sales manager (I've purchased too many Porsche's from this dealership in the past) Noted my interest in future Cayenne EV (2028...

sept??? :oops:

Lucid is excellent!!

for my wife and myself we'd rather not go "backwards" - honestly it's doesn't matter "how good" the massage is or is not - when sitting in a seat for a long drive it's nice to be able to get some "motion" on the seat and break up the static seating position - the degree of good is less important...

hmmmm… I have a 2021 Cayenne Hybrid w/massage seats I had a 2020 Taycan w/massage seats I have a 2024 Macan EV w/massage seats the current configurator has no massage seat options and they are not listed in standard equipment honestly - this is a deal breaker for me - hopefully they will add...

when I've owned "faster" charging EV's (Model S/X w/19.2 kW and Taycan w/11 kW) I would find it useful 3-6 times a year - also sometimes when using someone elses EVSE it was nicer to have the faster turn around time… there is no doubt that for normal daily use + overnight charging charge speed...

19.2 kW EVSE's in North America are a rare bird - but not impossible - just very very very rare…it's good for home charging and is 2x faster if you have a 100 amp home EVSE… 800V is "da norm" for most FastCharger's these days if they are more than 100 kW max charge speed… Tesla's...

given that the MTBF on the Taycan OBC 19.2 kW units is about 12 seconds (and is/was under recall, was unavailable for replacement, was then available again, then it wasn't, and then Porsche would reimburse for a downgrade, and then was no longer offered, and to this day is still absent as an...
