A 1.5 hour software update is not "minor". It's a shame Porsche still cannot, on their 3rd EV, in 2026, not be able to do OTA updates.

Porsche does not make the battery cells. Rather they make all of the other bits for the pack and do the assembly. Cells represent about 50% of the pack cost. Macan uses CATL prismatic cells and Cayenne uses LG pouch cells. Different chemistries too.

I had my order lock then unlock twice.

The USA Range Setup option, brought to us by the Republican Party, replaces the battery cells with this:

Paint to sample is now on the USA configurator.

I finally got my dealer to share the dates. Hopefully this time it sticks!

Look at the wheel of the third vehicle.

Have you had to take the J1.2 to the dealer for any software updates or recalls/campaigns?

The Cayenne Electric we have all ordered is based upon the same platform as the Macan Electric but with many tweaks to motors, reversion to LG pouch battery cells like Taycan, and a big infotainment change. Motor changes are an amalgamation of Taycan and Macan systems. Electrical architecture is...

I'm gonna fix that but I don't get my car for a good while.

You are correct. It's basically the same as Turbo but has a shorter rotor and stator and lower power inverter.

Front motor is same as Base Cayenne and rear motor is same as Turbo Cayenne. Turbo rear motor uses direct oil cooled windings and magnets so it can be run harder.

50% More power. Slightly more range. Larger brakes. Red brake calipers. Different rear diffuser.

My order has locked a day earlier than my dealership had shown me on their computer. I can't put that one on the dealership. I also can't put the two times the order has unlocked on the dealer. I see this as if there is "incompetence" it is on Porsche. However, it is a new vehicle and some...

There's alot at play because traction limits acceleration in these high power monsters. The Cayennes S has 650 lb-ft torque without push to pass and launch control. With launch control torque is 800 lb-ft. So 0-60 mph will be about 4.0 s without and 3.6 s with. So fast and damn fast.

I'm not experienced with the Porsche system. I've already experienced three episodes of ridiculousness regarding lock dates with first order that I had to walk away from and now with this order.

You've asked for opinions which I usually stay away from but I will add some other factors for you to consider: PAR is quite complex and the likelihood of a failure down the road is high. PAR is heavy - adding about 30kg/66 lbs PAR is a power hog and will have a very significant effect on...

I asked to see the PSVMS or whatever it is called and they showed me a screen that looked different and said Order Lock - 2 June and Delivery 21 August.

Thank you.

I just visited my dealership (West Houston) and they have a White Base and Monteverde Turbo on display today only. I now see the driver's side buckle has a small plastic frinction clip to maintain position of the buckle on the belt while the passenger side use the loop in the belt to eliminate...
