I learned long ago with my Mach-E to always use the car's charge port button to end any charging sessions. It usually doesn't matter, but when things glitch, it's usually better to have the car initiate the session termination. That way it's the one in control, and tends to handle it's stuff...

No me! I've got 5 more months of free EA left and I'm gonna keep using it! We've done 6 road trips already since June (~60 EA charges) and have 3 more trips planned before our free year runs out. After that, we'll see. We'll probably take the Lucid Gravity on road trips then, with Ionna as...

Perhaps, but the bigger concern is just keeping the company as a whole going long enough to cross the profitability threshold. If Saudi operations can help do that, I'm OK with it, even if the US operations lag. AFTER they become a profitable company and secure their long-term survival, I'll...

Yep. Although EVgo does have a system that mimics P&C they call Autocharge+. Works a different way than official P&C protocol but effectively does the same thing.

Interesting. Granted, we haven't done much charging in California west of US-395. That's about as close to the coast as we get now (in the years we've had P&C capability in our EVs). Must be worse on the coast for some reason. Bishop, Bridgeport, and Lone Pine are the extent of our...

But that was before P&C, right? With all the extra steps you have to take to open the app, find the charger, find the charger#, and wait for the Porsche app to communicate with the Tesla database and then the charger. That does add time. I was talking about the time using P&C. Granted...

You didn't need to use the Tesla app for Superchargers, unless you wanted to use the membership discount. At normal price, you could always just start the charge using the Porsche app. Not that the Porsche app is really any easier to use than the Tesla app, of course. :cool:

2 minutes? I don't think I've never had one take that long to start a session using P&C. It's usually somewhere in the 15-30 second range. Not as fast as SCs, but still far more quickly than using the app. One of the main benefits of using P&C. Unless you're averaging in the maybe 30% of the...

It's on the Goodbye screen that appears when you shift the car from Drive to Park. There might be another way to manually force that screen to come up, but not sure.

I'm not seeing it in the app either. Is it supposed to be there? I typically use the buttons on the Goodbye screen on the PCM to open my charge port doors.

I'm having the same issue with our new Lucid Gravity. The Grizzl-E I've had for 5 years charged our Mach-E just fine, and charges our Macan just fine. But faults every time I plug in the Gravity. So I tried the mobile charger that came with the Gravity using the same 240V outlet, and it works...

Both are important, of course, but I find range to be more important than charging speed. The best charging session is the one you can completely skip because you have the range to do so. Charging infrastructure is probably better in Europe than it is the US (although that varies by region...

I don't know if it will do YouTube TV, but have you tried the YouTube app that's available to download in the PCM? That app works reasonably well for regular YouTube content. Trying to use the Vivaldi browser for any sort of web-based video is a chore. The screen navigation is difficult, the...

Just completed a 2 week road trip thru CO/UT/NV/ID/WY. First one that dipped down into the teens on a few legs, and 20-30 degrees for about half of it. MPK always falls in the cold, of course, but it fell even more in the Macan than it did in our Mach-E. We were only getting 1.9-2.2 on the...

Just saw this. Unfortunately I don't remember how I got it working now. It was back in June, about 20 software problems ago. I do remember deleting both user profiles from the car at one point and "starting over" (I think there's a bar code to scan in the process). Maybe that was it? I never...

Yes, although air drag is only part of what determines vehicle mileage at various speeds. It's a big factor but only one factor. Rolling resistance of the tires is another factor, for example, that varies with speed.

Oh yeah, local driving is totally different than road trip cruising for 1000's of miles. Locally we hit 4 or even 5 MPK on occasion. But that's short little legs (like <10 miles). Can't really tell anything by that since it's heavily skewed by little things (fast/slow starts, lots of...

The 19% less MPK (mi/kWh) at 80 vs 70 in Tom's video is fairly consistent with what we see too. We've done 4 long (2000+ mi) road trips in ours now with mostly 75-80 MPH speed limits, but also some 65-70 mixed in. Just the difference between 75 and 80 probably costs around 10%. Although how...

One would hope, but that's the problem - hoping rather than having confirmation. This was a common topic with the Mach-E 3-4 years ago too when it came out. A software update finally did something to make the car check the LVB more often, but I think the car still had to "wake up" to do it...

Yep. Each EV model handles it a little differently. I don't know what triggers the Macan to charge the 12v battery from the HVB. One idea is to set a weekly departure time while you're gone in hopes that it checks and charges the 12v as necessary. But I don't know if that really works. Just a...
