post #1 updated at @Tooney request - new cables seem to have better wire gauge, thermal sensor, but have the NEMA 14-50P oriented "away" from the wall - meaning you have to twist the cable to plug it in - if true for all "new" recall cables this is an embarrassing failure of design/details in...

https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2024/products/porsche-cayenne-drivetrain-product-strategy-36924.html but will sell current and retooled ICE Cayenne/Hybrid along side new Cayenne - just like Macan EV should be fun to watch!

also testing your new power supply cable with your Porsche EVSE during a heat wave might not give us the best data as to if the new cable is actually an improvement (unless it works really really well for an 8 hour marathon charging session in ambient 120F weather)

based on a few early reports - I'm going to suggest that the new power supply cable is at best a mixed bag - the thermal sensor does in fact seem to be present and do it's job (hot temps lead to reduced charging rate/current) - but also faulty thermal sensor data can "confuse" the unit and it...

wow a whole "new" set of problems - impressive…:oops::facepalm:

the new power supply cable is rolling out to North American owners - early data indicates the PMC+/PMCC now actively varies the charge rate based on thermal data from the new sensor - this is having the undesirable effect of elongating charging sessions…this also does not bode well for Porsche's...

add the new thread where some people are now receiving the new cable! https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/i-got-a-new-charging-cable-replacement-from-porsche.20051/#post-308314 good news the new cable appears to have upgraded/improved 8 AWG wire to run cooler and the already...

I could see this - all the auto guys have their strengths - it would be awesome to ditch Porsche's software but keep their Mechanical engineering…

that's a hard one…for me it's never been about NACS - it's supercharger access via NACS or adapter - so for an EV purchase I'd have to focus on the functionality for charging … but I'd probably look for an alternative that provides supercharger access and CarPlay…

emphasis mine - wow - software that prevents you from shipping a vehicle… I agree with this - they didn't understand the game had changed…

I agree 100% but both GM and Tesla are "resisting" phone mirroring - we'll see how this plays out - lack of CarPlay support is a serious consideration for me in purchasing a vehicle - there has to be overwhelming other reason to buy the car if I don't have CarPlay - so far I've not had to face...

google software/android as a base platform is probably a reasonable approach - it's far more sophisticated and a fully functional OS vs. what ever VW could cobble together - also has a deeper bench of "talent" maintaining it… the Macan EV is already on this platform and early reports is it's a...

don't object to "per-mile" charges - roll back the gas tax and then make everyone pay per-mile - and add vehicle "weight" as a factor - heavier vehicles (trucks/EV's) wear the roads faster… but yeah - they aren't going to that - this will be "incremental" revenue and wont' be spent the way it's...

I can understand people wanting resolution on this - but frankly Porsche's approach here for keeping the same flawed 10 AWG gauge power supply cable but they will/have add(ed) a thermal sensor that will either reduce/turn-off charging when the cable gets "too warm" is missing the Point. I'm all...

this a great review and I agree one thing about phone-as-key - you need to carry the credit card key with you for two reasons: valet - you can't/won't give your phone to someone else to take your car - car wash is good example (dropping car off at service) dead/broken phone - battery in phone...

i wish to say things but claim nothing and make sound like it’s meaningful without divulging any specifics. Announcements live this are 99.9999999% meaningless but are made to shore up the ego of the VP who made the meaningless stuff happen

BMW thing…is my guess based on the dash

https://www.motortrend.com/features/tesla-model-s-code-software-design-craig-carlson-interview/ all I can say is "yep" - and most of the industry still doesn't understand over a decade later…

Tesla cyber truck w/black wrap…it's an option from Tesla Factory

yeah - PMC+/PMCC fail as an EVSE and the Porsche TAX really doesn't work in this context
