Just an FYI per ChatGPT:
Roof type
Net added weight
Small sliding sunroof
~10–20 kg (22–44 lb)
Large panoramic fixed glass roof
~25–35 kg (55–77 lb)
Panoramic opening roof (two panels)
~30–50 kg (66–110 lb)
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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.
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 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...
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...
