Thanks. The dealer was consulted and their initial reaction was "sorry. We apologize for the rough edges." They asked me to wait on a software update at the time, but we haven't nailed down a time because my schedule put me elsewhere. I will run a software update on the car when I'm back with...

Dave, I came here to exchange information with other people to learn. I observed her charging issues because I was with her for support while she figured it out. I did not intervene because she asked me not to. *You* are judging *her* for how she feels when the car acts differently than she...

Thanks, Dave. That error message was easily replicated by a mom, reading the thread and blocking the automatic charge port doors at a DC fast charger.

Hey, fun note. The worst of our issues require the reset of the car to either charge or drive. Asking her to ignore an error message that says something like, "high voltage system may have failed ... call Porsche service" and then reset the car is always going to make her feel uncomfortable...

I don't have to discuss the car's systems problems here. The west coast tech mom network has already replicated the problems we saw, is engaged in conversations about the flaws, and seems more interested in digging into issues with the car and discussing alternatives. We got looped in while...

Oh, power charge port doors aren't the main problem. A reasonable person asked us whether the power charge port doors made the car's systems even more unstable and less desirable in a public charging situation than choosing a manual charge port door. We are open to that consideration -- that the...

We saw this same behavior too in the last month. I'm not glad this happened to you too, but you're at least the 2nd person here to report seeing the EA system start accruing real cash in a separate charging session.

They get to make up their own minds about whether they are cool with someone saying that I should get rid of my wife. The summary of this discussion is: (a) We've given Porsche $100k to try out its electric SUV. (b) We're happy with the driving part. (c) The charging part is too raw because it...

It's their content; they're decision. They know how to engage if they feel like they'll get some benefit. They have their own more female friendly outlets where they engage in similar topics because they don't feel welcome here. It's their content; they're decision. They know how to engage if...

She and her friends are reading over my shoulder and they're getting a good laugh. They've passing around a screenshot now with some memes. You've made they're entertainment for the day.

When she last raced a Porsche at the track she beat a loud mouthed small minded man from New Jersey by 20 seconds and didn't really let him forget it. But I'm sure you're different. ;) I'm sure you're right that Porsche doesn't want to sell SUVs to women.

When I asked my wife about whether she thought the charging cables were the problem at dinner with friends last night, she told another story about charging ... She reminded me of the D.C. area charging station that we hit during the day and she was approached by a meth addict who decided to...

I talked to my wife about her view of the ergonomics of the CCS cable. Her take is that it can be inflexible but it doesn't matter to her. She feels like she can always get the cable to the right place eventually. When she travels, she would prefer the manual charge port doors to the automatic...

I think there is zero chance (now) that we'll buy a Model Y due to the seat comfort issues. We're trying to understand whether selling the Macan EV is dealing with sunk cost fallacy or keeping it is dealing with sunk cost fallacy. Either way, we're likely just keeping an extra ICE car or SUV (we...

A few days removed from our trip ... As I listen to my wife describe the Macan EV charging experience to her friends after our trip, they are immediately turned off by the thought of road charging an electric Porsche. Note that she always also tells them about how she loves driving it. Just not...

I have also encountered this. I also wear my seatbelt religiously. The most common time we see the phantom effect is when we're backing up in a retail store parking lot from an angled space and the sensors "see" cars on a busier section of the parking lot but my lane has no cars.

I tend to lean towards your sensibilities. I have a much higher tolerance for figuring it out.

It's a statement about risk assessment and cost/benefit analysis. She assesses risk for every situation and she draws conclusions based on her values. When she was 20 years old, she drew different conclusions than when she was 50 years old.

Most people who know her regularly report that she performs well and is level-headed under extreme pressure which is associated with her job. But, my guess is that you are not a woman in America. She considers it not worth the risk to walk alone at 3 am in back alleys near NoMad in NYC. And...

Uh, no. We didn't want to buy a Tesla because we find the seats very uncomfortable. But they're fine for running to the store. For a variety of reasons, we wanted to try an electric SUV but didn't see one that fit us well. So, a base model Y as a utility vehicle would work until we found...
