With the alu roof, mine is just to the right of the mirror assembly at the top of the glass, just below the dot matrix. Has worked fine there so far.

Right, was trying to avoid 'adapter' since he's using presumably a not-so-legal 14-50R to 6-20P adapter right now. Which is a thing that shouldn't exist. The EVSE plug end must natively match the outlet/receptacle which must be wired for the proper rated amperage with a properly rated breaker...

There is no reason to implement it in the car. It's not allowed by electrical code to connect the plug to a lower rated receptacle. It's unsafe to do this at any time. The correct solution is to have the correct plug end on the EVSE, which will make the EVSE report the proper safe current...

It can't, because you're using a plug adapter. You can't use a plug adapter like this. The EVSE has to be aware of the current limit or be able to set the current limit. Do not use plug adapters/extension cords of any sort with charging equipment. I'm pretty sure they say that very clearly...

Your EVSE is the issue and should be the device limiting power. It shouldn't be possible to plug one in that will draw >20A into a 20A outlet. Pretty big electrical code violation. For a business, that tends to be a very big deal in terms of insurance/etc.

It's completely irrelevant beyond bragging at the (bar, office, soccer game). I would be surprised if anyone honestly drove the Air and Taycan back to back and didn't say that the Taycan felt more nimble/handled better. I surely can't say how that translates to track times or such - sometimes...

Interesting - I ordered the mobile charger on Sep 21th, and haven't heard a peep from them. I actually just sent an email today because there hasn't been any notification at all regarding the order. Given that they aren't provide an evse with new vehicles, they probably want to get on top of...

Remember the Taycan also has a 2 speed transmission on the rear. It's a lot of little things. Part of it is just Porsche has a whole lot of existing data/engineering around launch control.

No argument there. Though if you step out of their EVs, the conversation gets a bit one-sided. Of course we also start talking about cars that cost a lot more than the Sapphire.

I presume you're forgetting where the Taycan comes from? Porsche has been working on things like torque vectoring for a very, very long time. Their suspension engineering is if not the best in the world, among the best in the world. The Taycan already has PTV+ which is a mechanical variable...

Do they? I always noticed that in my other vehicles, but I don't notice it in the Lucid. I do notice the Lucid lights up the sides all the time a lot more than most headlights.

Have not seen anything that would indicate Lucid has a matrix LED system - physically you have to actually have a matrix to do this. If the Air's lights are a matrix, they haven't mentioned it anywhere that I've seen, but I surely haven't seen everything.

I'm pretty sure everyone will let you out of your lease if you pay the full term. I *think* you are able to request an appraisal on the shortened depreciation to lower what you owe, which then is more of an "early termination penalty"

Well, I believe him on it not being something they can calibrate - I don't believe it's actually a hardware thing. The challenge is it would have to constantly re-calibrate itself as the brakes wear over time, or other things which impact the position. If they get the position calibrated just...

Yeah, which is why I mention I wish it worked like the Taycan, where you engage hold by pressing the brake pedal past a stop, otherwise it doesn't automatically engage. You've never gone slow when you're pulling up to a curb in a parking spot, or creeping up to the front edge of your garage...

Wheels are relevant, but less so than the tires. Pilot Sport 4s have a lot more rolling resistance than the A/S 19s. Winter/snow tires usually are softer with more siping and are even higher rolling resistance - but, it's also very specific to the tire.

Uh huh, and of the brands doing significant OTAs - we're talking SDV level OTAs here, how long have they been around? Also, how many of them have had OTAs that bricked portions of their fleet? Your expectations are not reasonable or tied to reality. Minor OTAs have been around forever, but...

They seem to agree with you, which is why they're going slowly and revising it during the release. The point you're missing is the reason it's going slow is because they ARE working on improving it. You seem to be implying it's going slow just for funsies.

The soccer mom in Ohio being the target customer won't be worrying about how long it takes to roll out a software update. They'll never even know they were waiting. Their software leadership was recently replaced. They're a startup. Expect things like this. The way you deal with this in a...

What isn't sustainable about this? Pretty sure the expectations are just unreasonable. Just about every consumer product that exists which gets updates gets them in a staggered fashion, sometimes over time periods of many months or a year. Would you rather they just blast it out to everyone...
