    I'll just hang out here until the year in this screen shot changes…we should be close - factory is in August shutdown - and when they re-open in Sept. they normally would begin production of +1 model-year (2027) - configurator should be online any day now…

    Gory Gory details/history/speculation below…read on if you want to solve your insomnia problem… Porsche has a long history of "confusion" and 'factual errors" when it comes to "max charging" speeds with their EV/Hybrids in North America _ALL_ mobile chargers (EVSEs) in North America are max...

    [Opinion/PSA] - you don't need or benefit from PCCB's on an EV w/excellent regeneration…

    this is my $0.02 YMMV tldr; save more than $11k (option price, tax, registration fees) on your Cayenne EV build by not optioning brakes that will only be used 3% of the time - Porsche's own data/claims. details below… We all know Porsche _LOVES_ their options list and increased margins...

    MY'2027 Cayenne - my hopes and dreams…

    in no particular order… ummm - fix the half-baked NACS charging port - allow both FastDC and L1/L2 AC charging? I have no delusions on this - earliest would most likely be 2028 or later…and my bet is on "later" - {sigh} this is probably going to be embarrassing for Cayenne owners until the...

    [North America] 9.6 kW vs. 11 kW charging…

    for long time Porsche EV victims the saga of Porsche's confusion regarding the actual limits of their standard OBC (on board charger) and the regional limitations they have chosen (for undisclosed reasons) to enforce are a comedy or tragedy depending on your perspective. In the rest of the...

    [North America] - Cayenne EV EVSE - new model - completely different

    [Cayenne EV Spotting] - is this a Cayenne EV at the Monaco F1 race this past weekend?

    way too much going on and I didn't pay close enough attention - and was lacking a paddock pass - but was at the Monaco F1 race this past weekend and enjoy'd the PORSCHE Supercup race - all the teams had ICE Cayenne's as support vehicle's while they were in the pits prepping for their race - but...

    [North America] - 19.2 kW OBC!!! Fascinating

    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...

    [FAQ] - PCCB Option - Since it's bound to come up - my thoughts on PCCB's…

    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...

    [opinion] - hmmm…VW/Audi/Porsche may be in trouble…

    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...

    [CyberTruck] - even if you don't want one worth a watch…

    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...
