I drove a turbo first then the 4 (no S out yet)...Turbo was amazing but stupid fast and the 4 was "fast enough". Ended up with a 4 they had in stock...I would have ordered the S if I had not got this one. Now driving it, its so silent and isolated that you miss the concept of speed...I'm...
Please let us know what they do. I'm somewhat skeptical that it's hardware related. If it's a software update, find out the release number...my dealer was pretty useless in knowing anything about software updates. One would think that the recall update would be the latest and include the...
I've had my 4 for a few weeks now and have had the "Assistance Systems Error" a couple of times. Happened yesterday on start up. Drove about a mile and I stopped, shut off the system and restarted. Still had the error but it cleared itself in a couple of minutes. Clearly a software bug in...
My first real road trip report. In my 4S yesterday I drove down to San Diego from OC...about 80 miles mostly freeway and then did some local driving and then back to OC. Attached is the data for this trip. I did not take any care in how I drove.... I was in Sport mode and mostly at 75mph on...
That would be nice. I wanted something like yours and not happy when they wouldn't do the PTS. Never heard why or when they would again...I assume it's related to new model issues. I'm on a lease so I'll have another chance:)
The rear windows are much darker than the front. When driving in full daylight, the view out the rearview mirror is very cave like. Feels very small and dark...I feel very removed from knowing where the traffic is behind me. I think it will take some getting used to.
I have 20" wheels and...
Very nice. Looks just a little darker than my stock color. How would you compare the color in person? I tried to order PTS and my dealer said Porsche was not taking PTS orders on this model now. That led me to buy mine off the lot. Glad to see you were able to get it.
How many drivers are bothered by the mirror glare from the dash communication lighting? When I drive at night it's very annoying:(. I know I can turn down the brightness (I'm at 30% now) but its still is an issue. Sure, you can turn it to zero but that kills the feature. I tried piece of...
I got chips and mirror close on lock. It's buried in the setup screens. One of my few complaints is the GUI is more complex than it needs to be. Partly do to the "Germish" translations for functions. They could do a little better with how functions are labeled in English so it makes more...
One more thing that I like about it. I wear glasses to drive and actually have a bi-focal so I can see distance over the top and reading distance on the bottom...for my 911 its perfect. I can see outside clearly and can read all the instruments with a simple glance. While this still works in...
What to you all think about this color? It feels to me very much like Gulf Blue, with just a bit of metalic. It looks better now that I have the car than it did in pictures. I was going for a PTS but the more I look at the car, the more I really like like it. I just got mine ceramic coated...
Usually those service plan are a total ripoff. But that said, their service pricing will be way too high, so agree that anything you can do yourself is good to learn. The service issues aside from software related, will likely be cooling systems related...pumps, sensors, filters, leaks, etc...
Thanks all! Great info. Love this forum:).
How do you all feel about battery safety...(might be a different thread but....)?
I'm keeping mine outside all of the time, not just when charging. The chance of the battery melting down is pretty low, but not zero and if it does, I don't want to...
Thanks! That all makes sense...seems difficult to find the charger stall you are at...I'll test it.
Yes, charging at home is the plan. I had planned to order my car and then have time set this up but ended up get the car off the lot. So have car, no charger:(. I'll get something goin soon I...
Newbie question. Since this is my first EV, I'm pretty clueless on using the charging networks. My impression so far is the public charging network is total mess and figuring out how to use it with my car is near impossible. Had the car for all of 4 days and have tested a number of...
That's a great deal...take and run! I got $3,000 off my 4, but my car was on the lot so they wanted to move it out. They told me orders would be at list. Not a great deal but with the lease discount, not bad.
Just picked up my 4 on Sunday and have driven about 100 mi. All good. Today, started up and drove to the store and on leaving, got the Assistance error. The system reset itself and in a couple minutes it's ok, but the heads-up display was off. Had to go into the menu and re-assign that...
Just took delivery of my car on Sunday. Love the color. The metallic-ness is hard to see, which I like. The color is very much like a Gulf Blue. I found mine on the lot...there were no others this color at any of the local dealers. After I was told that PTS was not supported right now and...
