I'm unsure which is "the other active thread". Would like to read the press release. I also had to sell a Chevy Bolt because of battery fires and an interminible wait for a replacement pack. To make a perfect trifecta I had to sell a Honda Ridgeline truck because it had Takata airbags that...

I had an EX30 and quickly sold it because of the battery issue. Just yesterday I received a letter from the US NHTSA, who is responsible for recalls, saying my vehicle was removed from recall because the battery is just fine. I replaced the EX30 with an Ioniq 5 N until my Cayenne arrives. I...

OMG you're killing me guys! Massaging seats and PTS were the only missing options I would tick. My order hasn't locked so now what do I do :headbang:

Someone educate me why no loop for driver's side!

Tomorrow I see the dealer to look at Cayenne in person for the first time. I will ask them for the PSVMS. I don't want to break my commitment. I already backed out of an order from another dealer because the order locked three months before (18 Dec) they told me it would lock and the build...

Well damn I was trying to find a bright spot.

Based on the above, if my order locks this week, the order would arrive around 1 October. Does this mean the model year would be a 2027 instead of a 2026? The MY affects depreciation independent of mileage and is probably 10% per year. I'm trying to look on the bright side of an order delay!

Thanks gents!

Based on both of your timelines there is a minimum of 4.5 months from Milestone 3 to delivery. For me I'm still at Milestone 1 and dealership says I will have the vehicle in 2.25 months. For sure not being honest here.

When did either of you have your order locked (Milestone 2)?

The newest planned lock date has passed yet the dealer still says delivery is schedule for 14 August. I don't believe it.

I too was disappointed. looks very nice on screen but not in person.

And I do realize the above calc ignores rolling resistance, friction losses like seals and other power losses like steering, HVAC, ETC. Those are basically "in the noise". The second largest loss, rolling resistance, is even more favorable than the aero.

Here's some calcs: 2026 BMW iX XDrive 45 EESM front and rear motors SiC inverters Front motor not used during cruise 100.6 kWh gross battery capacity 94.8 kWh net battery capacity 338 miles 70 mph real world tested range - aggregate of three tests (journos and YouTubers) 7.7 ft^2 CDA (this is...

It is fully possible. Will Porsche do it? I have no idea but I sure hope so. So far they have not used EESM's but who knows. Another method to improve highway efficiency is to use a multi-speed gearbox like the Taycan rear motor. This is why the Taycan has great range on the highway...

The numbers are mostly laid bare but I'll try to expand a bit: Powertrain Efficiency is based on BMW's EESM + SiC inverter. The coefficient can be back calculated. This technology has been in use since 2024 in the iX. An EESM (Externally Excited Syncronous Motor) is more efficient for...

Sheesh to me everything MB does is overwrought: grill, HVAC vents, seat controls, rear lights.....

Here's some fully achievable numbers based on an Boxster EV: 0.25 CD - this is reasonable. A Taycan is 0.22. A Cayman EV should also be 0.22 Not a skateboard platform. Battery behind seat. Doable now with modern energy dense batteries. This preserves lower height which aids driving position...

This doesn't add up and I think my order is for sure delayed but they're just not admitting it to: Original Order Plan: 5 May lock 14 August deliver to USA Now: 25 May new planned lock date but dealer says "who knows it could happen sooner" 30 June complete production in Slovakia so only 5...

And my order "unlocked" again today. Is Trump running Porsche's production planning?
