    Differential lock failure

    Thankfully that looks like the case here. The message is gone now. Hopefully that’s the last of it ?

    Differential lock failure

    Right, I should have mentioned that the error message went away but then reappeared shortly after. When I parked it in the garage yesterday evening, the warning was gone again. With luck it won’t reappear. I’ll post an update soon in case it’s helpful to others.

    Differential lock failure

    Got into the car yesterday and saw this error as soon as it powered up. Only 950km. Internet search doesn’t turn up much. Has anyone had this issue? I was able to drive off without issue but looks like I should take it in.

    Pickup Checklist

    Thanks!! I forgot to mention that I did a thorough inspection of the baby at the dealership and everything was immaculate and beautifully assembled. Everything looks and feels perfect so far.

    Pickup Checklist

    Finally picked up my Oak Green 4S on Thursday. Thought I’d share my pickup experience since I had a bunch of questions going into it. Many thanks to peeps in this thread for their helpful advice. I’ve only driven in the city so far, but a couple of early comments: it’s terrifyingly easy to find...

    Pickup Checklist

    After reading this story about needing a software update pretty much right away, I wanted to get a straight answer from my SA about what software version my 4S is running on. He replied that they can’t release it without it being up to date but I’ve asked again to find out what it is. It’s a...

    Pickup Checklist

    Super duper helpful, thanks @ColdCase! Good idea to turn off the driver assist features to start, and I've checked out a couple of setup videos to get familiarized with stuff ahead of time.

    Pickup Checklist

    I'm scheduled to pick up my 4S in a couple of weeks and putting a checklist together. I reviewed this old thread, but hoping to hear about more recent experiences. I'm buying it outright without financing, and the SA is telling me to bring a bank draft for the full amount. Sounds reasonable...

    Thank you Porsche and Porsche Beaverton Dealership!

    Congrats!! My 4S arrived at the dealer last week and I’m picking it up when I’m back in the country early June. I’ve asked whether it needs a software update and haven’t really gotten an answer. Am I looking to confirm that it’s running at least VR 28.11 and has the rear camera fix?

    Launch control

    Onramps where I live might be too tight for that, but sounds fun!

    Launch control

    Must be quite the sight watching a turbo launch out of the intersection! ?

    Launch control

    They just opened a new PEC near Toronto a couple of weeks ago, and I’ll try to spend a day there this summer!

    Launch control

    So *where* do you guys use launch control? Empty country road? Track? I’m trying to think of where I could safely try it out and can’t lol

    Porsche Macan electric (2024) review: basic is best

    Nice! I also went with 21” wheels. Definitely see the 4S as the sweet spot for me - the turbo sounds super fun but my everyday driving is too chill to do it justice!

    Porsche Macan electric (2024) review: basic is best

    My 4S is due to arrive in May. People have mentioned understeer being an issue a couple of times in this forum, and now in this review. Any consensus on the matter? How hard do you need to be cornering for this to become an issue? Does it only happen when you’re really pushing it?

    Loaded 4S or lean Turbo?

    @KombuchaBioleather Sounds amazing, congratz!!!

    Torque Vectoring Plus

    @ColdCase I optioned RAS, and your experience with PTV+, even if it’s kinda subtle, sounds worth it to me. Thanks!

    Torque Vectoring Plus

    Found a couple of informative (though old) threads about PTV in the Taycan forum. A bit of a mixed bag as to whether it makes any difference to everyday driving, but I’m still looking forward to having it when my build arrives in May/June. This particular thread had some helpful discussion.
