I do not know if the home charging is solved yes or no, but I think the issue is not the voltage it’s the neutral line and or grounding. We had a power outage and when they fixed it temporary for a few hours all devices worked except my fridge … I checked the wall plug and it was delivering 230v...
We had some icy roads and slush the past weeks, nothing to dramatic but the car handles like a dream. I have the Goodyear winter tires on, 20 inch. Traction control is smooth and stopping is as usual no ABS doing funky pulse breaking. Overall a stable experience.
On paper it seems a lot bigger for the passenger it is not that more roomy, I have 3 teens and the leg room is not that much better especially compared to Chinese offerings, I do not understand where the space really is … the trunk in bigger on paper, I should really test it as visually I was...
After seen the Cayenne in the flesh I’m not really impressed not much more practical space and “uglier”, though that is personal … I hold final judgement till after the introduction of the coupe …
I like the look of the GTS a tad more, but can’t you spec the sport package on the Turbo, thought that was new …
The lower default ground clearance would be an issue for me … I guess they would be the same when you set the suspension in sport/sport+
So I would go with the Turbo + the package...
If I only could have one car I would stick with the iX, the software is constantly being updated, the B&W sounds better in any way.
I guess the driving in the Macan will be a bit sportier but guess the difference with an M70 will not that big in that respect for public roads, on track the Macan...
I have the Turbo on Winter tires now, but when the road is wet or icy, the Porsche will let the back break out in a controlled way, you feel this as the rear wheel steering and PVT seem to deliberately do this …
Same on summer tires and wet roads …
It always feels controlled though.
As some of you know, I’m a big fan of pre heating the battery I do this the night before by DC charging to 70% and then do 100% overnight with the AC charger … As we do not have a manual pre heating button like the Skoda and VW … This test is even more conclusive as he did not pre heating button...
I had 2 onboard failures with my XC90 T8 hybrid, it‘s just a fact of live that these electrical systems are prone to external factors that you can protect against but the over engineering and cost do not justify the case.
Cars fail and that is just a fact, I think being on this forum gives the...
Hmmm I have the Burmester and love techno/base and do not find it lacking in base on the contrary, I love V shape curve … now the iX and B&W is better.
Can’t remember the Bose, but when I listened to it a year ago I was not impressed … for me audio is important and a bit disappointed that...
Yes when starting second route planner it cancels the PCM one and vice versa. So yeah to have a second opinion you can use third party as long as you do not start it.
On the pre heating thing, it takes a long time, depending on how cold it is at 5C it takes initially 10 to 15 minutes per 1C but...
I would think the opposite is true, the onboard charger shorted and let the power trip in the building …
Chances of a building failure are way less then an onboard charger going bad.
Now if there is a known issue with the power lines that is another story, but those should be filtered out by the...
Yes, but I can’t remember his name … so it is possible, I believe you need to be lower then 10% To balance bottom and above 95% to top balance and let it sit for 7 hours or so …
you can just set a destination as DC fast charger no need to be as a stopover ... I tested this several times ...
I have a DC fast charger at 500meter of my door, I can set it as final destination do some errands and it will heat up the battery ... it will re route the complete time, but my...
