    Power Modes

    I'm not sure I understand the power modes available for this vehicle. For instance with the Cayenne S: Power up to 400 kW (536 hp) Power overboost with launch control 490 kW (657 hp) so +90 kW (+121 hp) Power with push to pass (if you buy the weird $1040 eyeball) +90 kW (+120 hp) So push to...

    Cayenne S electric ordering....

    I was able to order an S on Monday, 30th of March. Order lock 5th of May. Jul 24 arrival in Texas USA. The early arrival seems fishy.

    Configurator available for 2026 Cayenne Electric EV - post your build!

    Once one gets rolling the HV battery will charge the 12V battery thus the resultant power loss is the same. If charging while preheating it would be more advantageous, for maximal range, to use cabin preconditioning. A J1.1 Taycan used inefficient PTC heat whereas the Cayenne Electric should...

    Configurator available for 2026 Cayenne Electric EV - post your build!

    Another consideration on the heated windscreen is the replacement cost will be enormous. It seems like I'm good for about 200k miles between replacements. If you have insurance coverage maybe you don't care but I pay cash for vehicles and only carry liability insurance.

    Thanks CHP. I want to carry bikes and cargo. I have now just found this:

    How to mount stuff without roof rails?

    Is there any way to mount a cargo box to the roof without the optional rails? Remember these are frameless windows so cannot use the hook method that bewteen door and door ring. I have the hitch option to haul bicycles. My last two vehicles had roof rails I never used. Thus, trying to skip...

    Cayenne S EV added to Electric lineup

    Went from 14 August to 24 July but the order lock date moved from 14 April to 5 May. More time before lock but an earlier delivery seems impossible so I asked if transport time was baked in and they said yes.🤞 I had to change dealers to do this because my original dealer still does not have an...

    Cayenne S EV added to Electric lineup

    Today I changed my order to the S because it will have enough power that I won't have to spend an extra $3k to chip it and now I get PTV.

    12V Battery AGM or Lithium Ion?

    This dead 12V issue is common amongst alot of EV makes. They need to step up and use a 12V LFP like Tesla has been doing for a few years now. The change gives lower operating cost, better reliability, more frunk space and reduced weight. Combined I think it's gotta be worth the extra $30.

    Not interested - where is massage seat option?

    @Billbuck didn't you answer the question in Post 12? My order lock date comes on the 14th. I feel the massage option will land on the 15th.

    First Drives Reviews for 2026 Cayenne EV are Here!

    I feel the reviews are 60/40 pro PAR. My experience with the Taycan is not positive for PAR. PAR does increase ride comfort a bit. I don't come away from riding in larger SUV's looking for more comfort. PAR would be perfect in a limo or a Waymo. Can PAR make a vehicle lap a track faster? Yes...

    First Drives Reviews for 2026 Cayenne EV are Here!

    First two reviews I read were from Motor1 and PistonHeads and they raved about the steering feel and handling. Also said the software and utility of the screen were top notch. I too feel the center console is an abomination. Porsche is a leader in shyte interior packaging. For me it's the...

    Cayenne EV Firmware or operating system - Flashing, no OTA updates

    I don't interpret the press release in the same manner. Yes they flash load during production but this does not preclude OTA updates. Even a Tesla will have the initial software flash loaded. That being said I don't know if Porsche has moved on from old school systems with discrete processors...

    Caynne EV Exterior Color Poll: What Are You Choosing?

    Looks lighter than the Porsche configurator. Complicating matters even more for me.

    Cayenne S electric ordering....

    My dealer says they have no allocations for the S. It's strange that Porsche debuts the S but there are no allocations alloted.

    Is range the only concern? What about handling, reliability, cost........?
