    Trackers cost to install?

    I'm just using an AirTag in the car these days - good enough but not perfect. this "case" makes it last for "years" - and I just stuff it somewhere in the frunk/trunk area behind something with double sided tape… https://www.elevationlab.com/collections/airtag/products/timecapsule-compact so...

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

    we now have 2 written/published data/marketing/service points from Porsche that PCCB's are a waste of money on a high regen EV… brake regen % being > 90% for all of their EV's Porsche proudly markets this legitimate engineering accomplishment and it's true and awesome -but it means you don't...

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

    in a careful read/analysis of porsche's recommendation about replacing Taycan brake pads every 6 years - it's due to lack of thermal cycling in the brake pads allowing moisture and debris to accumulate and potentially corrode/compromise the pad to backing plate adhesives such that Porsche...

    Towing experience with the Cayenne Electric EV -- It performed insane

    EV's are great for towing - linear torque and plenty of it - dream scenario drive train-wise for towing things - but range hit is extreme and very very awkward to fast charge with a trailer attached…if you don't have to tow things very far they are an excellent solution.

    Order / Production / Delivery Milestones …how accurate are they ?

    been a Porsche victim since 2008 - I’ve ordered many many Porsche’s…and watched the “track your desperation“ schedule’s closely each time… ”completed” milestones are normally accurate (but sometimes the date changes “after the fact”) ”future” milestone dates are “best effort” “good faith”...

    14 or 18 ways seats ?

    18 ways are more "supportive" with a more hug your body seat… 14 ways are more "open" but offer "massage" as an option given the Massage options my wife and I choose the 14 ways so we can also get massage… I have 18 ways in the 911 and 14 ways in the Cayenne/Macan w/massage both seats are...

    Question for Cayenne EV Owners: options you would or wouldn’t have chosen?

    it's way way way cheaper to get any Porsche exactly the way you want it than to start over and do it again with your next "more correct" order - at the end of the day Porsche options are both excessively expensive and insanely cheap depending on your perspective… excessively expensive: charging...

    [Wireless Charging] - moving targets…

    hmmm - this used to be "late 2026"…and now 2027 with no specific qualifier - tech with shipping dates like this have a poor track record of shipping - or when they do ship being a reliable/quality feature/product… the warning signs are flashing…

    Town between Cayenne S EV and upcoming BMW iX5

    I'm leaning against the BMW due to the following facts: there is no dashboard or display behind the steering wheel - the panoramic display at the bottom of the windshield doesn't do it for me my wife and I do not like a screen that pops-up above the dash the steering wheel looks hideous...

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

    I'm not saying we don't need friction brakes… we do 100% I'm saying we don't need PCCB's - who's main super power is "endurance" braking … high thermal loads for fade free endurance racing is PCCB's party trick. Porsche's excellent steel/cast-iron brakes are more than up to the task of...

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

    600 kW regenerative braking _IS_ in the Cayenne EV - Porsche has been very open about formula-e feeding tech to their road cars…in this case Formula-e is an extreme use case but I was blown away by the _FACT_ that they don't even use their wimpy friction brakes during a race - only during...
