Nothing to specify. They’re already preprogrammed and your car will figure out which corner is which when you select a new tire in the PCM and start driving.

I did not have to do any programming.

Checking in again on this forum’s most informative thread! 42k miles 88.5 SOH Previously:

Same here in my feedback. An incremental improvement in regular charging experience would far outweigh the rare “luxury experience” they seem to be interested in. My idea of luxury is a trash can, windshield squeegees, maybe some shade, and a charger that has a red T on it. Add a reservation...

@Jonathan S. I’m in lowered almost exclusively and I get about 10k on the front and 15k on the rears before the inner edge blocks are nearly worn smooth. I will flip the tires at that point, inside to outside, and get another 10-15k miles before the other edge is worn down. My car is lowered a...

You have more negative camber the lower you go starting from around -1.8deg in regular height to around -2.5 at the lowest. Inside edge wear will still occur in regular mode, higher in lowered mode, and highest in low mode...

The folks at Dyson must have thought they were on to something… until they weren’t. Maybe synthetic sounds will be the future after all.

Agree so much on the lack of noise. Deceptively fast, but boring. I wonder who decided to design EVs to be as silent as possible. Raw motor noises are actually pretty cool. Here’s a preview of some experimenting I’ve been doing recording EV sounds.

Here’s a study that confirms the climate affects on battery aging. Just as @ciaranob concluded months ago! https://electrek.co/2023/09/18/tesla-battery-longevity-colder-climate-study/ And quoted study here: https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/it-matters-where-your-used-ev-comes-from

Private owner. They delivered 4 of them to the US at Monterey car week. Owner is awesome, first thing he does is take it to the track!

I didn’t ask about lap times, unfortunately. I was more interested in their mobile charging setup. Using a 100kW Herc rental diesel generator and this 44kW 900V mobile charger. Curious if there could be a market for renting a setup like this for a small group of evs. The specs for the Battista...

Sharing the track with a Rimac, I mean, a Pinifarina Battista today at Laguna Seca. It’s crazy to actually see what 1800hp is when they’re passing you… and the 3 GT3s in front of you. Mind boggling. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a37419682/2022-pininfarina-battista-drive/

1 year update on my battery: SoH 91.3% 31500miles Same charging habits as before and a few track days seems to have had minimal impact. I was worried with track days doing multiple 100-0-100 cycles might have some impact but I guess not. I’ll have to do increase my track schedule to see what it...

With other brands announcing just a few months ago that they’re going to equip their 2025 cars with NACS, I don’t think it’s too late for Porsche to adapt. Sounds like they’re considering delaying the launch of Macan EV anyways so this would give them the perfect chance to move to NACS. It’s...

@ciaranob has a pretty sweet dual car lift.

Don’t call it an SUV, it’s a “high ground clearance GT body”. And only 1,341hp… https://insideevs.com/news/682479/lamborghini-lanzador-ev-concept-debuts/

Lamborghini looking to unveil their 2+2 first EV on August 18. Is this going to be a sneak peak at the next Taycan underpinnings or is it just a Taycan with another body? Here's the Estoque concept they showed years back. And here’s the official unveil.

Spot on observation. The insert over the lower half of the door seems to fill the gap in. The door handle looks like it was pulled from the parts bin. Hope that’s not final, it’s a pretty large pocket in the door though. Side mirror is also from the Taycan/992 parts bin. I bet this thing is...

Those are some meaty 305s on the rear!

The juxtaposition of these two pics says it all. 48/48 working chargers vs 1/4. Also, Taco Bell > Dairy Queen.
