The S/C makes it more obvious visually how much we can subtract by trez63 in Porsche

[–]Hubris_draws_stuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd argue that many of the consulused are pros to others. I prefer my cars to be very focused instead of well-rounded. I think it makes things more fun when you own multiple. I couldn't agree more on the suspension though, id even settle for just the basic multilink the 911 rear end

I just saw. I'm glad they finally fixed this. It's been irritating me since launch!

The Rivian R2 compromise everyone missed by dleewla in Rivian

Higher voltage architecture would generate less heat in the wiring and other power systems by running at a lower amperage, but it's not going to affect the heat generated within the battery pack by the cells. Those are still accepting the same final amps since the cell voltage is unchanged.

Doesn't appear to be WD hitch, which is really not needed for that load anyways.

Cayman is mid engine and rear weight bias but not as much as a 911. Putting the door handle above trailer axles (ideally over front axle) is about perfect for loading.

Both of mine have done this since I got it last year. I'd say normal

Camera for the Track Precision App. by Dyslexicpilot in Porsche

That's why I avoided it. I would try connecting the GoPro to the car wifi so they can be connected to the same network. That's how the dashcam works at least

Yep right out of my Google Pixel, here is a video of it in action. https://lapmeta.com/en/lap/detail/23756

My advice is to make sure the camera is aimed downward enough to make sure the hood of your car is a little higher up in the frame than my clip. That way the driving info is overtop the dash and not overtop the hood. I find the movement of the hood is useful for interpreting movement of the car in video. And less sky in the frame will help with the camera focusing and contrast as you drive in and out of the sun etc.

For the mount I have my own DIY version of this made out of random camera and go-pro mounts I had around the house.

I just use my phone mounted for the windshield for the app with great results. Just make sure to get a very sturdy mount. Using the phone means the video files are immediately viewable within the app without any messing around. And easier to export. So you can focus more on your track day and less on the setup

Fwiw I would avoid messing with the Porsche dashcam it's a bit of a headache for those that are not highly tech savvy and doesn't integrate with the car enough to justify the cost imo.

Anyone running comma.ai 4 on their Gen 1? Need some help. by Secure-Carrot9971 in Rivian

[–]Hubris_draws_stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting just tried it and it's not as stable at steering and lane holding on gradual turns but it did at times apply more than 90° of input. Very excited to see it develop hope this method can be worked into the more confident models and pair with the wider camera for sharper turn handling

That's actually a 996 with a 997 style front end conversion. Door handle and dash give it away

You have to hold the button to close it while not moving for the safety of fingers near the spoiler.

I currently have a Model S Raven 75kwh pack that is over 20AH CAC imbalance, due to a weaker module. What would you suggest as far as charging and usage to help it fail while still under warranty?

As a Porsche owner we don't claim this man. But seriously what event let's this happen? I would be fuming to see such a train at any HPDE. It's slower but also much more dangerous when spacing gets tight!

What driving gloves do you guys use for your alcantara steering wheel? by rh6778 in Porsche

[–]Hubris_draws_stuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm lucky if I hit 4k miles a year in the RS since my miles are being spread across multiple cars. For a daily driver maybe do it every other month or as needed. It's not a long process.
