This is likely dew/fog on a sensor, and as you drive it clears itself. Happens on mine too on cold moist mornings.

Set the HUD to show charge/discharge around the speed. The navigation goes on the right of that, and the map fills the lower display. If you didn't get the HUD, not sure there's much you can do :-(

A 12V Li battery is only $100 more than a Pb battery at wholesale. And it lasts much longer (life of the car, probably) and weighs less. I'm sad to learn it doesn't have it! Whenever I replace 12V batteries in other cars, I buy a Li battery the same size online and then never have to do it again.

If an engine needs oil and spark plugs and belts then it needs more service, for sure!

That's surprising and a little sad. The battery will perform better at 25C, to the point where some vehicles will spend some energy heating the battery to get there. I'm surprised Porsche doesn't do this :-( And happy about the California weather. (Although today it's almost 28C! In March...

I grew up in Stockholm! But, yeah, California is nice. I recommend it! The battery does heat up when you use it, though. There's a reason we have liquid cooling in the battery pack... When you need to fast charge, you've been driving for three hours already. Also, when charging fast, the...

Battery pre-heat for charging isn't all that important. I haven't seen a meaningful difference in charge rate -- the "capacity sharing" of EA stations is a big charge speed killer, by comparison.

The car auto-lowers when you go faster than some speed (I want to say 50 mph or so?) It also goes lower in sport, and higher in offroad or "smart lift location" mode. That's what this icon shows. It also blinks with little arrows inside the car, as it adjusts to a new mode.

Modern phones are pretty efficient, I keep the phone in my pocket, use wireless android auto, and it's not particularly warm. Also, the wireless charging shelf in the console has a little bit of A/C blowing on it, so it also keeps the phone cool if I need to charge. Now that wireless android...

That looks like a flipped-layout bug! Your flag says US though, so why is the menu bar on the right? Can you swipe right from the left edge of the screen (or swipe left from the right edge) to back out?

Are you in a heated garage now? It might have frozen, and might come back after thawing a bit? Just guessing ... never seen it myself.

Yup, they finally fixed it! This weekend, going to see if I can capture some of those flying pigs on camera :-)

By "mirror tap" I assume you mean the rain sensor wiring harness that terminates right above the mirror, and that the FitCamX dashcam for example can plug straight into. Yes, I'm using this for my dashcam. Yes, the power turns off when the car is off. There are wiring harness plugs that fit as...

FWIW, I also am experiencing the "pre-heat doesn't actually pre-heat the car anymore" problem since a couple of weeks. It's presumably some Porsche back-end/server-side problem?

But how do you make them match the color? Everything is statistics. It might be that, normally, almost all cases are "within the curve" and work, but with some modification that "pushes the bell curve," some cases now fall outside the working parameters. That being said, punching/cutting...

I would be much more for the sport sound if I could tune it myself, based on throttle/speed/steer/brake input signals. I understand that there are Federal standards for the sound, but it's totally technically possible to verify that the "custom" sound would still conform to the Federal standards...

YES!!! This is one of the biggest ergonomics problem with the car. That, and the fact that it either doesn't detect it's in a smart raise zone when turning on, OR if it does, it shows the icon but doesn't actually raise the suspension...

This used to work, and broke about a month ago. It is likely a bug in the interaction between the phone and the car software. All we can do is hope for a quick fix to roll out ... and maybe complain to Google and Porsche to make that go faster. There are a couple of other threads about this on...

To be fair, my expectation is that there's a pub with a pint and a haggis every 3 miies or so.

The logic is that you just get out, and walk away like Charlies Angels, and the car locks down itself. It's different from previous cards, but honestly, it's how it should be! Kind of how Waymo robots pop out the handles when you walk up to them. The future is automated!
