was picking up my 2021 Cayenne TurboS eHybrid from service today - complete hybrid battery replaced under warranty - car is good now :rock: talking with General sales manager (I've purchased too many Porsche's from this dealership in the past) Noted my interest in future Cayenne EV (2028...

hmmmm… I have a 2021 Cayenne Hybrid w/massage seats I had a 2020 Taycan w/massage seats I have a 2024 Macan EV w/massage seats the current configurator has no massage seat options and they are not listed in standard equipment honestly - this is a deal breaker for me - hopefully they will add...

given that the MTBF on the Taycan OBC 19.2 kW units is about 12 seconds (and is/was under recall, was unavailable for replacement, was then available again, then it wasn't, and then Porsche would reimburse for a downgrade, and then was no longer offered, and to this day is still absent as an...

TLDR; EV's (yes even the Cayenne EV) don't have enough stamina on track to warrant PCCB's - and for non-track use 98% percent of deceleration is handled by regen in normal driving (Porsche's words not mine)… this makes PCCB's a huge cosmetic exercise vs. an actual stopping the vehicle exercise...

Based on my Macan Experience - I believe the Cayenne EV will be a strong EV offering for North American customers with well integrated Supercharger Support and native NACS fast charging port… https://www.macanevowners.com/forum...-lectron-adapter-at-tesla-supercharger.23505/

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...

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!

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…

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...

I’m a long time EV owners (since 2011) - former Tesla victim/customer - avid EV road warrior and deeply experienced EV road trip participant…I’m writing this up from some perspectives from a current (ongoing trip) from the SF Bay area to Friday Harbor, WA and back - currently at Burlington but...

now just do a full EV version…and we're there.

I'm under the impression in North America you still have to wait to get a Taycan and sales are good… but apparently they are not so much for Lucid (which is a car I simply don't understand or desire) they are having a sale - 1% financing if you'll purchase an inventory model…...

the new Cayenne according to a PCA monthly newletter "reveal" has a passenger screen with Video Streaming support!!! this could be interesting - I hope Porsche makes a FOD or free software update available to bring the new passenger screen features 'back' to our Taycan's we'll see how this all...

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/coming-ev-batteries-sweep-away-140709581.html it's long been my contention the only problem with EV's is battery weight (but current LiON technology is an acceptable but suboptimal trade off) - and future batteries would drive weight down to below equivalent...

while at the dealership this morning I had some time to kill. Sales manager knows I'm an EV guys - walked me over to a Lucid Air and handed me the keys and suggested I check it while they dealt with some paperwork… I was with a buddy so we decided to check out the Lucid…I did not drive it...

rent a Tesla Model 3 from Hertz - now Tesla has their problems, and no they are not perfect. But in my experience I'll take (and actuallly have taken with this trip) a Model 3 over most _ANY_ normal car - especialy the stuff that you tend to end up with in a rental fleet… I'll let you know...
