because it didn't have to go this way…and it will be a pity if we lose Porsche as a contributing force to the industry…but apparently they are going to do what they are going to do…just a pity when I see people/institutions fail to avoid foreseeable outcomes…but it's the way of things. I love...

according to many many people who've driven it the Lucid Air Saphire has closed the gap, and actually exceed Porsche's driving dynamics… from early reviews the Gravity builds on the Saphire's driving dynamics but moves it to the people mover form factor…...

and scaling back in China due to stiff competition…

just to be clear - my opinion is not based solely on on this _THIS_ vehicle - but rather what this vehicle represents: it's quick it's spacious it's "upscale" it has driving dynamics it has working software it has better range world class EV motors it has functional OTA it's a ground up design...

a few things: drive a saphire - it's better than Taycan - driving dynamics are excellent - but for $250k no thank you… watch the Gravity review- Kyle specificcally has the exact feedback you have about the air, and the Gravity is a 2.0 product - lots of lessons learned…and Kyle loves the...

vs. the competence demonstrated by Porsche for servicing EV's with them never having a "trained" tech available or in very very limited supply or parts for EV's are on back order for months? Or having to drop the car at porsche service for days/weeks for a software update since they can't do...

given Porsche's recent facination with pricing themselves out of competition and their general lack of enthusiasm for things EV…this could be a replacment for my Cayenne Hybrid in 2026/2027…and I hate the Lucid Air - but bring me Lucid Saphire driving dynamic's with SUV class space (120...

Leviton joins the party - they have have an "EVSE rated" socket - apparently they didn't like missing out on the juicy EVSE NEMA 14-50 market and giving it all to Hubble…...

just to be clear - Porsche remains 100% clueless on EV/EVSE issues and charge rates…4 years has yielded _NO_ growth or sophistication as to what to do with an EVSE issue…{sigh} post #25 - from this thread -...

Macan has introduced a "new" Porsche EVSE - called the Porsche Universal Charger - PUC… on visual inspection it appears to be a warmed over PMC+ with: a new front face plate sticker with the "warning" sticker integrated new part number new name Porsche Universal Charger a slightly beefier...

it's always both simpler and more complex than most people realize - it's also normally the result of many many years of accumulated decisions that lead to unanticipated outcomes - the wrong end point was arrived at via many many correct individual steps… the ICE automotive supply chain is one...

added the latest TSB - retrofits are hard - and it appears not all pre-existing PMC/PMC+ EVSE's are fully compatibility with the new thermal sensors… updated to include the latest admission from Porsche that they may have to replace "faulty" units that do not like talking to the new thermal...

it's the price dummies!! not the demand. the strategy so far seems to be: come out with an ok EV overprice it by quite a factor note that sales lag determine it because people don't want an EV beg the EU to roll back upcoming restrictions and revisit your past glory days and say you're going...

I'm not sure how to answer #1 - the cables are available but in short supply - so it's unclear if the Porsche dealer your purchased the vehicle from, didn't have the cables, didn't remember to update you, will do it later, or does not plan to provide the cables. #2 - the PMCC's wifi is useful...

I understand and appreciate this perspective - honestly I do - but I'm not even talking about driving assistance - but in my opinion increasingly the non-driving software of the car being fast, efficient, relaible is table stakes - connectivity that actually works, digital cloud services, a PCM...

so it begins…this aligns with my assessments and opinion - the "driving experience is better" sauce is weak when the digital tech sucks on a daily basis…

90% of 84.3 = 75.87 kWh - call it 76 76 kWh / 9.6 kW (40 amp charge rate) = 7.91 hour * 1.1 = 8.7 hour - ok I was wrong - call it 9 hours from 10% to 100% (but we dont' charge to 100% everyday)... 48 amps would be 11 kW and the maths would be adjusted

welcome the PMCC is still a 9.6 kW big and heavy mobile EVSE - with the new cable it sucks less but is still less than ideal - I'd recommend you start with it - and if its making you unhappy don't hesitate to replace it - but if it works fine for you - no reason to spend the money basically as...

Progress, Progress, Progress new NEMA 14-50/6-50 cables seem to be available in limited quantities but they are trickling out… software update for the PMCC unit seems to be in place - no release notes, but the even-money guess is the software update is required to integrate with the new...

I just unpacked my original PMCC from my 2021 Cayenne eHybrid… recall cable matches the original/natural orientation of the pre-recall factory cable - mine twists and re-orients quite easily - in my mind this is a non-issue - but people are welcome to their own opinion. in my case plugging in...
