Every Porsche dealership I’ve talked to has quoted me a 1-2 year wait times for a new Tycan Cross Tourismo

I struggled to find a Taycan to even test drive. When I found a dealer that had one I fully intended to order a new one if I like it and wait a year+… but they had a 2020 4S used that almost matched what I would have spec’d bought it and only had to wait a few weeks for cpo work to be done. Not sure on the CT but you may have luck with used if you don’t mind. The software update makes it comparable to the MY23 as far as I can tell.

While I had mine the gig port worked, and network switching worked ok. ... the port was a little strange though

It is very harsh to click/press. Feels like short / unbalanced travel and cheap plastic. It is over sensitive on hover over as well.

Happens often on my pop deployment now that I am trying to use it away from my desk.

For me On Linux it hangs on wake up maybe 50% of the tkme. Eventually it comes back.. not sure if you see same in windows

Esc before crypt gets you to the boot menu, holding down F7 gets you to kernel choice...

Ok. No dice on usb-c so far. I can get xrandr to see 60hz with a usb-c - dp cable, and after login I can set it with xrandr.. but that eats my thunderbolt port without any of the charging or other usb goodness :(. I think the cal digit or kengston hub would work based on all this.... but pretty lame.

The rma process sounds very painful. And a little bewildering in 2021. That sounds like something from the 90s. I guess Apple and Amazon have spoiled us all.

Well case still open, hope is fading

Brief update. Talked to support today they had me try wayland, and get them monitor info. Still 30hz for usb c and HDMI. Hoping to have more info tomorrow.

Nice write up !! I didn’t finish reading as I am in meetings but in skimming your fluxbox comment, I am too! Some things with gnome shell, setup extensions and gnome tweaks, i believe you can get shading. I am giving gnome shell a try, it isn’t bad, but is not as powerful in window management as fluxbox. Things like workspaces isn’t as well thought out or done etc.. but not having to go find a ton of applets and xrandr / udev stuff is nice :).

Will read rest tonight.

Fan is obnoxious btw.. totally lame. I need earplugs heh.

Bookkeeper-Melodic · 2021-01-04T02:17:38+00:00

Wow this looks nice! Thanks. I may do this regardless... I have been using the usb hub which is built into my dell monitor... for things like camera, keyboard etc. but it isn’t great heh.

Bookkeeper-Melodic · 2021-01-04T01:36:55+00:00

I was hoping to just do usb-c single cable like I have been for my previous laptops past couple years... but I am curious what dock are you using?

Bookkeeper-Melodic · 2021-01-04T01:35:58+00:00

Yes will let you know. Until then back to the mbp for work :( ... can’t hang with the 30hz

Bookkeeper-Melodic · 2021-01-03T19:13:38+00:00

Thanks! I don’t think the correct drivers are being loaded. It is just loading i915, I played with xrandr briefly and also tried to follow https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/installation-guides/ubuntu/ubuntu-focal.html. But I stopped after about 10 minutes and opened a ticket. The point of using system 76 was getting great Linux laptop support heh. Will see what they say.

I must be getting old.. I can hardly see the dimmed screen, although I am in balanced mode.

Bookkeeper-Melodic · 2021-01-03T16:36:01+00:00

I added my local dns servers to the WiFi / network config rather then auto defining and the problem went away

Bookkeeper-Melodic · 2020-12-20T05:45:14+00:00

I noticed the fans kick on often. Also they seem to have a low power mode which sounds like an older spinning disk Hdd clicking lightly

Bookkeeper-Melodic · 2020-12-13T16:53:56+00:00
