    Quick Report - summer road trip on I-15

    It does(and/or apps do). If you’re ten to fifteen minutes away from three different stations though it won’t tell you what the availability will be when you get there, or if there is a queue already. I had an experience where I chose between station A with one available slot and station B which...

    Quick Report - summer road trip on I-15

    My family took a road trip from Utah to California and back over the last week. Nothing too remarkable to report, not going to analyze efficiency or anything but just wanted to share a few things. Even though we have a larger vehicle that we have road tripped before (Volvo EX90), I opted for...

    IONNA charging makes road trips much more feasible

    Used Ionna over the holiday weekend, cost $14. They were having a special at $0.19 per kWh, didn’t realize it until I was charging. I just chose Ionna because I was interested in trying it out.

    Aftermarket TPMS

    ...and it worked. Amazing.

    Aftermarket TPMS

    Ok, thanks for the help. I got the sensors and the TS508WF programmer. I was able to clone the OEM sensors, and also see through OBD that my car has an unknown sensor learned on one of the slots, so I think the tire shop only really programmed one correctly. I can totally see how they screwed...

    Aftermarket TPMS

    Looking at: https://a.co/d/030CyPeX However I guess at this point the programmer compatibility is the most important part seeing how the shop couldn’t even read my OEM sensors

    Aftermarket TPMS

    I took the original TPMS into the shop that was going to copy profiles but they say the sensors won’t scan. He seems to think they’re broken but they worked when I pulled these winter wheels off the car just a week ago. I think I will try to buy the Autel kit, see if it can clone, and then take...

    Aftermarket TPMS

    Hi everyone, curious what experiences have been with aftermarket TPMS. When I got my winter wheels I just had the existing TPMS sensors moved over, because the shop said the listed aftermarket sensors were backordered. Now that I swapped my summers back, I need to get this resolved. The tire...

    Porsche Invents Perpetual Motion!

    The only way I can make that “tip” make sense is if they aren’t talking about a round trip. For example, I’m on the highway headed from city A to city B. There is a hill in between the cities. City B is at a lower elevation. Therefore I can arrive in the valley on the city B side with higher SoC...

    What's your estimated range with 100% SoC?

    It’s not 30% loss vs EPA in cold temps. It is 30% loss in cold temps and 20mph above EPA tested speeds. I have no doubt I can get nearly 300 miles in my Macan if I stick to 55mph.

    Anyone getting more than 2.8m/kwh on the Macan GTS EV?

    I don’t know why GTS would be worse, unless there are some aero issues. My Turbo got 2.5-2.7 throughout the winter months, and that includes having drag from a ski rack and snow tires. I only had the car in the fall last year so we will see what it does but it was doing 3.2 miles per kWh...

    TRIP STATUS- and range issues

    You will want to leave it at low SoC overnight and then fully charge as others (including myself) have experienced needing to rebalance cells. Curious to know if your car is left idle for long periods or plugged in regular such that it’s always around 60-80% SoC day to day. Would still like to...

    Heating seats and wheels through app?

    I can’t tell if this thread is about a complaint that the heating isn’t working as expected, or about how to heat the seats through the app. In my phone app in the “pre-climate” section I can select each seat to heat individually and the precondition temperature. Selecting the driver seat...

    Faint high pitch sound (like a vacuum cleaner or jet engine whine) when accelerating and regen braking (front right)

    I remember in the iX people complained about some electrical noise that sounded like bees in the overhead trim. I never experienced it but was pretty common and eventually there was a fix.

    Battery cells reset/rebalancing after erratic SoC readings

    Also there is a lot of garbage data or perhaps incorrect formatting in car scanner from what I can see. It makes me not really trust the data that looks reasonable when so much of the data looks bad. the highest voltage being 0. anything seems completely wrong, for example. My house Li battery...

    Battery cells reset/rebalancing after erratic SoC readings

    IDK if it is necessary to do the procedure twice. It probably depends on the situation. As mentioned I saw a healthy rebalance at a low of 25% SoC and full restoration of charge speed, so I’m a bit skeptical it must be driven down to nothing (and then repeated), but perhaps that’s the most...

    12V battery bar graph

    I think that bar graph is voltage not capacity. I am not sure what values the ends indicate but traditionally you want your battery gauge to be somewhere in the middle, not super high (like 16 volts) or super low (like 11 volts). It is similar to a temperature gauge where you don’t want it to be...

    Extremely Slow Charging Speed at EA

    My uninformed idea of this (for all EVs not just Macan) is that if you have some cells with maybe 50% SoC and some cells with zero, your overall SoC is zero because it needs to be able to pull energy from multiple cells to have enough power to operate. When it sits in this state and there’s...

    Extremely Slow Charging Speed at EA

    Spent a few weeks just doing maybe one or two short trips a week. After I experienced slow dc charging, I let it sit for a few hours at ~25% and SoC jumped to 40% (rebalance made more cells available). Then I charged it at home to 85% and a few hours later it went to 75% (more space to charge)...

    Extremely Slow Charging Speed at EA

    I would still let it sit at low SoC for a few hours because this fixed slow DC charging for me, after it being a garage queen for a few weeks seemed to cause this. The dealership will probably just start with the recalibration anyway.
