Could be an issue, could be normal, but lately, the compressor has been randomly kicking on and pulling in air. I’ve noticed it happening while driving (I can hear it) and even when parked—but only after recently using the car. Searched around and couldn't find anyone else with the same issue...

And? The MSB (Modularer Standardantriebsbaukasten) platform is still the basis for the J1 platform, which underpins the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT. It's just an adaptation of the MSB platform specifically designed for electric vehicles except that it's specific for EVs and the MSB...

Let’s be clear—VW didn’t ‘buy’ Rivian’s software. This is a 50/50 joint venture, meaning they are co-developing new technology together under a brand new entity. The fact that you’re still trying to frame this as a simple ‘purchase’ shows you don’t understand how corporate partnerships work...

I can't help that you don't get it. Do you think companies build every piece of software from scratch? Would you expect an online payment company to build its own cloud infrastructure instead of using AWS, even though AWS has a competing product? That’s not a realistic expectation(and it's...

This has been answered multiple times by several people. But even now, the details of the agreement are being misrepresented. VW isn’t “paying” $6 billion—they’re investing for 50% ownership in the venture. That’s a significant difference. It’s the same reason they don’t put 911 engines in a VW...

The Taycan platform (J1) is built on the MSB platform, originally designed for ICE vehicles, it carries inherent design constraints that make it fundamentally different from what VW appears to be trying to build. Just because Porsche has a well-regarded EV platform doesn’t mean it’s a direct fit...

This 10000%. It’s not just a matter of "copying the software," as some have suggested. The entire system is deeply integrated with the hardware, far beyond just the polished UI that most people see. It's exactly why manufacturers can do an update to adjust reversing speed, ride control, etc. The...

Reverse feels much better. I no longer feel like I'm on a ride at Universal.

No, you can’t just 'copy and paste software.' That’s not how this works. Software isn’t some magic Word doc you can duplicate—it’s an intricate stack, designed specifically to integrate with the hardware and systems it runs on. I actually own both and drive them regularly during the week—you...

Same here. It just works and stays stable. Meanwhile, my Rivian literally rebooted while I was in drive at a coffee drive-thru the other day.

That’s a lot of assumptions for someone who wasn’t in the room when VW and Rivian negotiated. . Here’s a thought—maybe Porsche doesn’t have the capacity. Maybe Rivian was the cheaper option. Or are we ignoring the reality of in-house development vs. outsourcing? And for the record, I don’t use...

In the Porsche, my music doesn’t randomly pause or stop when I touch the screen—something that happens constantly in the Rivian. Multiple resets haven’t fixed Rivian’s choppy performance, sluggish responsiveness, or frequent screen freezes. There’s also a noticeable delay when loading content...

You’re a C-suite executive but can’t grasp that just because Porsche is part of the VW Group doesn’t mean they share all resources and technology? That’s like assuming PayPal and Venmo—both owned by the same company—run on the same software stack and cloud infrastructure(they don't, they are...

You can't build quality software at that pay level—it's pretty straightforward. Not sure why that comparison was hard for you to piece together. Do you even own a Porsche? No? But you're an expert on its software based on anecdotes and Reddit threads? Nice straw man. I literally own both cars...

It’s not, lol. I drive both cars regularly during the week and write software for a living. If I had worked on what’s in a Rivian, I’d be embarrassed to put it on my resume—it’s just bad. People like to blame hardware limitations, but that’s a weak excuse. Well-written, elegant software...

So now the argument is, “Why would anyone bother testing FSD?” Seriously? You don’t think independent evaluations of a self-driving system—one that Tesla itself claims is safer than human drivers—might be, I don’t know, important? Who funded it? Who cares? That’s just paranoia. Independent...

First, it was definitely a hit piece, now it just seems like one? Which is it? I’ve watched the videos. They gave FSD plenty of praise but also pointed out that it’s not perfect—because it isn’t. FSD relies on image recognition models, which make predictions. Predictions are not facts, and they...

So now 1,000 miles of independent testing isn’t enough, but somehow Tesla’s own hand-picked, selectively interpreted internal data is? Let’s be real—if FSD worked flawlessly, 1,000 miles would be plenty to showcase it. But instead, in just that small sample, they found issues. You don’t need...

Take off the tinfoil hat—it’s cutting off circulation. AMCI has been testing vehicles for nearly 40 years. Independent testing exists because “trust me, bro” isn’t science. No reasonable person relies on a company grading its own homework. Or should we also start taking automakers at their word...

It's not a hit piece lol, AMCI is a globally recognized automotive testing company and if you actually watched those videos, there are lots of positives they say about Tesla technology, however that the claims are very exaggerated.
