Yeah, same menu, no difference. However, unrelated to that setting, the next day it magically came back. The location services are still all messed up (map is way off, no speed limit, etc), but ACC and LC are back. For the moment, anyway. The error message now says "limited" instead of "not...

Hmm, I'll have to try that. I didn't use the stalk button, just the PCM menus, but in OFF I couldn't get any CC. Maybe the stalk button has a different menu.

I was also hoping there was a way to activate "dumb" cruise control, but I'm not finding it. I tried changing it from Adaptive Cruise Control to OFF in hopes that would turn off only the adaptive part, but nope, it deactivated CC altogether. That's something I really appreciated in my Mach-E...

I tried doing a factory reset yesterday, but it didn't fix it. I hoped it would do more but it doesn't seem to affect internal car functions at all, just the PCM stuff. It's basically just a PCM reboot that also wipes out all your settings/accounts. Which then requires an hour of work to log...

Right now I couldn't use the Porsche nav even if I wanted to. Location services is all messed up. It thinks the car is 2 miles from where is actually is, and all driver assistance systems won't work. 😖

Or across parts of Wyoming, South Dakota, and Nevada. 200+ mile gaps between good chargers in some spots. We do a lot of 1500-3000 miles trips. But yes, most road trip routes are better covered. We worry more about the challenging routes, but most are just fine.

Mine is doing the same. The car thinks it's 2 miles off from where it actually is. I even drove it around a little and the map shifts with it (i.e. stays 2 miles off). I tried the nav and it thought I was different roads than I was on, tried to tell me to turn where there wasn't a road, etc...

I don't think that's quite said right. Constant speed usually refers to highway driving (vs city) which usually means higher speed. Yes, higher speed is bad for efficiency. But constant speed (if it's a flat road) is actually good for efficiency. It means you're never having to slow the car...

We're on a road trip to Las Vegas. Car started flaking out yesterday. Radio wouldn't work, Assistance Systems Error (no ACC), no speed limit showing, and that little yellow symbol that looks like a car next to a stop sign (??) is at the bottom. 15 minute drive across town. After I got there...

Yep. For example, when we hit a steep downhill stretch with ACC on, we can see the power meter go negative (i.e. capture power through regen) as ACC keeps the car from speeding up. We're not even touching the pedals. It would technically be a bit more efficient to just let the car coast, but...

Right, the car is using regen to slow the car down whether hitting the brake pedal (up to the point that regen max's out, beyond which friction braking adds on) or lifting off the accelerator pedal with Regen on. Just 2 different ways for the driver to do the same thing. It's a personal...

Perhaps, but the real point is that using applied slowing of ANY kind is less efficient than coasting. Friction braking recovers 0% and is thus WAY worse then regen. Regen isn't quite 100% but it's way better than 0%. While pure coasting loses no energy. The question is how much can one...

I reluctantly use the native nav part of the time on road trips in order to see the estimated arrival%, since Porsche failed to implement the AA feature that shows it. Otherwise I like AA nav much better.

The only scenario that makes sense to me that would make it more efficient to turn regen off during highway cruising is if you're driving on a mostly level highway with lots of short rolling dips. If the road is flat where you never have to slow the car down from coasting speed, it should...

I don't think I've ever had a car that did that. The volume controls have only controlled volume (UP-DOWN-MUTE). The PLAY-PAUSE-FWD-BKWD controls have always been separate from the volume controls. Perhaps they could program that button specially to first look and see whether the audio...
