What does "when properly configured" mean?

No idea Guessing, there's some adjustments the driver can make, a 'go' version of adjusting how much regen braking is done.

Edit: Google finds 'overboost' with 'launch control'

I read 'properly configured' as in 'you bought the correct configuration (the most expensive one)'
The pov spec configuration takes 4.8s to get to 60.

Q? If those battery powered Porsches depreciate and the value drops like the Turkish lira tied to an anvil...are they good value second-hand?Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2024 2:28 pm I read 'properly configured' as in 'you bought the correct configuration (the most expensive one)'

It's a Porsche, electric seats are probably an optional extra at cost.

Yebbut, suppose someone buys a fully loaded model and trades in after 3 years, if the value drops like people suggest you could get one with all the trimmings at a reasonable price inc. a warranty.
I suppose I'm sceptical and don't believe for one minute that dealers will be knocking out s/h electric Porsches at bargain prices, just that the first buyer takes all the pain of the inflated new price. Certainly not seeing lip-smacking prices on s/h electric Audis.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
If a top spec car loses half its value (for arguments sake) its still a 70k car. So it's only a relative bargain!
The top spec Taycans are also hammered with the generic expensive Porsche saloon depreciation. The 140k ICE saloons also take a massive spanking, but not quite as much I'll agree.
Turns out the people buying six figure saloons don't really want 2nd hand ones, so they always take a huge hit.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
The chap that used to post on here until a couple of weeks ago posted about Taycan values. There's a bloke called Smee on YouTube who did a video about it a few weeks ago as well. Also on YouTube, last night's Harry's Garage was about depreciation on high end cars.
My take on it is, if you've got the money for a used Taycan then go for it. If it breaks down you've a lot more chance of getting it fixed than you have an MG.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
TBH I hadn't thought about electric Porsches until today but had been musing on Cayennes and Macans....but most of those that are what I think of as 'reasonably priced' have more miles on them than my current car.
I'll probably think v hard for a month or two and.....do nothing.

Eating
It's always been simple. Knives n forks.
Use them to pick up food and move to gob.
But in last 6 months it's changed.
Pick up food on fork. Put arm on table.
Peck forward like a bird to pick food from fork.
A while ago I saw a lad in Brit pub, have his whole forearm on table and head pecking down to eat
If he had any long hair, it would have been in the food.

Soundbars. LG what had good sound but had limited connectivity so got made redundant and is now in the loft. Bought a Samsung with built in Alexa. This was a mistake. £500 soundbar reduced due to being grey got it for 200. Alexa was way to sensitive and would kick on on any word rather than saying Alexa. Samsung support is fucking wank. Changed ISP and the huffy Alexa could not recognise Virgin Media. That got made Redundant and also relegated to the loft. Bought some non branded one with a wireless Sub Woofer. The bastard is playing up and loosing signal to the woofer FFS. Its next to the bloody bar. No happy.
Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
I am a common person but I always thought etiquette was sit upright and food moves to mouth not mouth moves to food.
And elbows on the table would have got my arse tanned as a kid.
Parents seem to assume teacher's are responsible for teaching manners, they're not and many parents are uncouth. I also blame TV, kids watch Americans cut it all up and start picking and pecking. I'm sure Americans don't all eat that way but it's better for continuing dialogue in a TV script
Don't get me started on talking with your mouth full. I talk while I eat but I don't stuff so much into my mouth that I cannot wait until I swallow before speaking

Yeah yanks do actually eat like that, it's just how they are. You can spot 'em from miles away in the canteen

There are kids arriving at school, age 5, who are not toilet trained, unable to tie laces, can't use a knife and fork. Some can't even talk properly!
