Tow rig for reference…..who says you can’t tow 11k 2500 miles with an eTruck?

I will add a trip tidbit….Yes the CET will fit in a 24’ hauler. But it is certainly a tad tight and the 9900 limit for the trailer is pretty maxxed out!

We did take it to the Texas Mile and it performed perfectly, It's the overal slowest car we have run, but we knew that going in. It only did 163MPH, but it did hit the limiter in the half mile and we had a 142. MPH quarter. It' might have get there faster, but we started with about 75% and...

Another week, more glitchy warnings. I am sure this has to do with either PPF, of just dust on the rear sensors. The PPF was done a month ago. In the mean time we've also had TPMS errors, but those get solved by changing the tire settings from loaded to normal or some such. Yes, there will be...

We are slowly getting used to it, but it's another area that they made overly complicated for no reason. The sensors on my Taycan were flawless.

My feed is blowing up with stories about a Turbo GT Coupe at 1200hp

Well, that didn’t last long! Left car for several days with my PPF guy and on pickup, the ACC is out again. This time it’s the driver’s seatbelt glitch. I guess we’ll give it a few days and see if it clears as it has for some others. Leaving it parked until my ceramic guy gets it finished next week.

Ours is a pretty loaded turbo goes, we bought it off the lot, so I found it rather than spec’d it. It does not have the Drive Assist lane centering option, amd I likely would not have spec’d it, but after having it on a MacanEV loaner, I was surprised at how well it worked. It was not as good as...

Update! Car is home. ACC working! They did change the front camera and had to replace the EM Brake controller as they could not get the faults to clear on the original. I feel pretty good about that fix, as this has been the faults that they were not able to clear at the PDI. Happier to know...

I think the camera was throwing parts at it. I feel more confident in the brake controller as thats where the fault seems to have been from before day one.

Latest update: they got the camera in and installed and that seems to have cleared up the issue, but the Braking system still shows faults and they can not get the software to clear them. This is the same as they had at the PDI when they could not get the faults to clear fora week. A new Brake...

my frustration is that it doesn’t seem to be a major issue, just that they don’t seem to be able to fix it. It seems to be just software and they are just lost at how to deal with it. And have to go back and forth with Porsche with delays in getting responses. Maybe my dealer is clueless with...

Another week gone. Car still sits at the dealer. They changed the ACC Camera as Porsche recommended but still cannot get the software to calibrate. Right where we were after a week of PDI before they finally delivered and now three weeks in. I went through over a year dealing with a Taycan...

Update on the ACC issue. It’s been back at the dealer since Friday and Porsche has them pulling the bumper cover and going through the sensors and plugs/harness. Suffice it to say, very disappointing start to a very expensive car! edit: sensors OK, now waiting for Porsche to throw the next dart...

Some are shared and others are Not. Some stations will tell you if they are shared. Generally best to find a stall with no one next to you. Most non tesla sites in the US only have four or so posts, and nearly all that have two cables are shared and even if the other car is not pulling half the...

Exactly.

Turning off ESP in icy/wet conditions would not be smart. I don’t turn it off on the track in a Porsche, but in my old Challenger it was not possible to run a fast lap with it on.

ESP is a completely different thing and something that Porsche excels with. Guys turn off ESP to be able to drift and do burnouts. Sometimes you need the rear to break loose a bit.

When it works, Adaptive is awesome, but I had a Taycan loaner that would react to things very aggressively. Things like a guard rail or rock wall in a curve might result in the car braking excessively or slowing the car far below the speed limit. It ,ay have been out of spec but it would have...

Yeah, but in this case my wife driving a Turbo for her daily without cruise control could be very hard on my wallet and her driving record! It is crazy that Porsche does not allow you to turn off the adaptive part and give you basic cruise control which has been a mature tech for decades.
