given the efficiency of EV motors (90%+) you do not need cow-dung level's of energy capacity - a modest 20-30% increase in battery energy density per-unit/volume/mass will lead to two things (this level of improvement is already with in reach and will not take 10-20 years) EV's weighing less...

Porsche will _NEVER_ make a 911 EV - never never never never - the 911 "brand" is an ICE brand…and it will remain that way until they can no longer make ICE's... something much like a 911 EV _WILL_ eventually get made - it has to be that way if this EV thing goes forward - but it will not be...

not just a pickup truck - from what I understand an EV pickup truck!!

NOTE: this cable from Amazon - routinely achieves operating temperatures of 87-93F in normal multi-hour operation at 9.6 kW (or more) vs. Porsche's supply cable temps of 144F (or more)…the cable listed below has 6 gauge wire for the high voltage 120V legs (red & black wires), and 8 gauge wire...

totally - apparently the temps are coming "from inside the socket" and we actually discovered a mini-reactor making it's own power - I'm looking to harness it for my home power needs - could be a game changer.

the socket manufactures it's own thermal stress in defiance of the laws of thermodynamics/conservation-of-energy - it's not that Porsche's NEMA male-plug is getting too hot due to trying to shove 9.6 kW of power into a 6 kW wire and then subsequently transferring the massive amounts of heat due...

yep - https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/email-from-porsche-mobile-charger-current-set-to-50-as-a-precaution-utter-bs-omg-they-dont-think-they-have-a-problem%E2%80%A6.14304/ added this link to the trove of documentation in post #1 of this thread Porsche's response so far -...

please share owner feed back on this tread when you’ve had some time with it! enjoy your purchase!

EV interest is on the rise, and you're driving an EV - and a good looking one at that - you are an implied ambassador - yeah I'm getting a lot more questions when I'm at chargers in public - but it's always been the case. I have used the years to hone a few key messages and try and be polite...

I'd only carry any mobile charger with me these days if I'm leaving my "home area" and research indicates I'm going someplace with no public charging infrastructure (national park for example) - having a mobile charger in the frunk of your EV is so 2015 (this is my evolving position as we all...

It's interesting to note - Porsche's Sept. 2022 NTSB article no longer recommends using 120V charging - only for "emergency" use and for no more than 12 hours. I believe this to be good advice, and I think it has more to do with the average quality of pre-existing 120V circuits in 99.9% of...

calling attention to this NTSB article posted here - I've added to the "inventory" in post #1 of this thread - but this deserves a bit of a "bump" - so people "notice" https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/north-america-porsche-official-charging-related-porsche-ntsb-article-analysis.13902/

Porsche has updated recommendation - interesting - attached to post #1 - analysis here for those that are interested - https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/charging-related-porsche-tsb-article-interesting.13902/#post-208977

I don't invest that way - but I know and you're right. I'm too chicken sh*t to put my money where my mouth is there - and I'm not willing to bet my Porsche money that I'm right. others can be more successful than me in this space I'm fine with that.

I'm glad at least one person saw that - I'm trying to be human and funny - this stuff is wonky wonky stuff and all 1st world problems - and I also believe it's serious product design and engineering issues, but I try and not take myself toooo seriously.

Dec. 22, 2023 - UPDATE - we have a RECALL folks!! - details here - new power supply cables mid-2024 - https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/recall-power-outlet-may-cause-charging-cable-to-overheat-20-24-apb6-december-13-2023.18185 I'm tried of collecting all these threads over and over and...

no direct investements - again I don't control any "funds" I'm invested in. my opinions here are as a car/EV enthuiast - so no I'm not shorting any Lucid position - but if I had the courage of my convictions I believe Lucid is not long for this world, and if you believe that there are...

points for their Red however - it's gorgous! simply drop dead beautiful paint color.

thanks for this - I appreciate the hands on I did not notice the rear door - but my 6' friend noticed the low opening on the doorway in the back - while head room while in the seat was good (but not expansive for 6') the door frame was quite low and with out ducking one's head it was at his eye...

I also find it interesting - I've not seen a more clear example of engineering vs. design - I consider the Lucid to have excellent engineering but poor design… the best companies seamlessly and effortlessly blend design/engineering such that it's really really hard to see where one part ends...
