$3200 EVSE ? so much fail

Porsche’s failure in this space is now complete

I don't think the vehicle cable is 10 AWG wire…(the part of the cable from the PMC+/PMCC unit to the vehicle) - my PMCC"s are packed away - but I'll check into it tomorrow.

post #1 updated with the latest… can I simply say that Porsche's handling of this has been simply stunningly bad? With the outward appearance of pure unadulterated CYA vs. any apparent effort to actually "fix" the underlying problem? it's just been so bad.

this is stupid.

there are reasons for this…

given the used Taycan market - I'm betting you can negotiate a pretty sweet lease extension to bridge any gap - but I may not know sh*t… but I think you're in a stronger postion cause they don't really need another Taycan sitting on the lot…

Taycan is hard act to follow I'm considering BMW i4 M[whatever] Taycan .2 Going back to ICE Taycan has it's issues, but when surveying alternatives ticking all the boxes is difficult. Taycan's _ONLY_ problem is Price the CT/ST models are pretty strong in my opinion and in the running for...

just a note - my Tesla wall chargers have 'charging logs' but they are not updated until a vehicle is unplugged (finished charging) - so consulting the logs while the car is plugged in does not good - the logs won't contain the most recent charging session data until the vehicle is unplugged...

excellent post - also not all Bolt are 11 kW - only newer models - originally the Bolt was a 32 amp maximum vehicle - but newer Bolt's are 48 amp so that's another detail that needs to be considered.

I'm unaware of any way to "limit" AC charging AMPs with the Taycan (doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just means I don't know how to do it)… there should be no reason your Taycan did not charge at 11/12 kW if the EVSE provides that level of power. the best source of information as to charge rate...

things that make you go "hmmm…" https://apple.news/ANkZ1u_PDQBmjO_xKgsdVQA my friends "eTron" has the same PMC+/PMCC Taycan comes with but a Audi sticker - hmmmm…but they are replacing the cables with ones that have a "temperature" sensor? things that make you go hmmmmm… so the temperature...

if the chargers do not work all of this is pointless - I believe it's mostly pointless and not the correct vector of investment - any monies spent on this sort of amenities is less money spent on more stalls what I want/value: functional fast charging more stalls good wireless signal -...

Porsche's North American charging game (L2 and FastDC) is weak sauce and who ever thinks they are running it is mostly out of touch from what I can see…this survey confirms that 100% they are simply 100% clueless. combine this with no word on Supercharger Access and the picture is pretty complete…

same told them ideas are stupid if chargers do not actually function told them i want working chargers bathrooms cell service and trash cans

I hate the cyber truck - but once again Tesla is pushing boundaries and will probably "leak" into other product and the industry at large some of the building blocks of this truck are more interesting than the truck itself - 800V (like Taycan), steering by wire, safety considerations...

in the latest turn there is a small push for chartable donations to my favorite charity… you can read more here…starting with post #106 https://rennlist.com/forums/992-gt3-and-gt2rs-forum/1362454-2023-911-gt3-rs-the-questo.html#post19108373 donate today!!!

that’s a great build! love it! but i’d rather take the $103k delta and put it towards a $175k gt4 spyder RS and have the x5 hybrid & the gt4 spyder!

$8000 more for the Cayenne S eHybrid _BEFORE_ you option the Cayenne vs. a FULLY optioned X5 hybrid. so $92k FULLY optioned BMW X5 or $100k Cayenne before you add _ANY_ options personally I'm hard pressed to see where the money's going in this case…and there is no way I'm not adding $30k worth...
