@ElectricSuperCar i woud like to mention few things 1. Wind screen wiper wont work om VW group cars unless hood/frunk ia not closed properly in your case try to close the latch manually like you did it with trunk latch. 2. I will highly recommend getting your hands on VCDS or OBD11. For VW Groups car having one of these is must this will not only help you to intract with car electric system and diagnos alot of things e.g in case of trunk latch if you have vcds connect it can literally tell you that trunk latch is not getting power. Also in future when you will work on comfort features it will also come handy and upon all this it will also allow you to set further comfort features that are disable for the company exmaple set all windows closing with rain senor and much more Hope you get a new job soon
Also since there are electric cars by VW Group try to sreach for ecus of these model may be you will able to integrate these with your electric system again having VCDS or obd11 will help alot in this
Door closed, brake pedal depressed, no fault codes relating to the parking brake mechanism, you could also try a press and hold, failing that on the calipers where the motors are there will be a cover hiding an Allen bolt which you can manually wind out to release the parking brake manually, just remember to wind it back on when your finished with the build
So glad to see the support. I have some more unsolicited channel advice: I know you probably don't want to spent a lot on the channel at the moment but I think improving audio a bit and having fewer handheld shots facing you would increase production quality a lot. The garage is way too live (echoey), I think you might need about 5-10x as much wall treatment, especially around the areas you film in. Hanging a big heavy blanket from the ceiling (out of frame) might do a lot for a small amount of money, depending on what type of ceiling you have (flat = more necessary to be treated). Recording audio for ads in the echoey garage is not ideal. Sometimes your voice is too soft on the mic when you are speaking (eg at times when your were running through the list of stuff that was working/not working on the Porsche) which gives the impression of mumbling. This is an editing issue, you need to boost the audio if your voice gets too low. Sometimes it's harder to pick these issues up if you edit on headphones because it sounds fine to you but wouldn't sound right on a TV. Finally there was some wind noise at times, would recommend picking up a cheap windscreen or "deadcat" as we call them. Good luck with the build and with life stuff! I selfishly would love to see you go full time on UA-cam/Patreon but I totally understand if the numbers aren't working (I also think it's cool that you have been so transparent about that aspect). So if not, I hope you find a great job you like as much or more than your last one. Greets from South Africa
Thanks for sharing the financial side, very interesting. I wouldn’t expect to break even or make money until the car is eventually sold but it’s fun to see behind the scenes
Great idea to offload all those parts. Will give you more space to think. One question though, aren’t you gonna need the side skirts and the pumper even though it’s converted to electric? Also, isn’t 3900 a bit cheap, I get the feeling of getting rid of it is a great relief but just feels like a Porsche engine and gearbox alone should be at a much higher price point. Would be really interesting to get more details on the train of thought behind the decision. Great content and really appreciate the openness!
yeah, that new of a porche engine and trans would cost way more then 3.9k that seems way to low of a price. but he needed to get rid of them fast, so you take what you can.
I don't have a Porsche, but my car has an electronic parking break as well and it does not release until you put the transmission into gear (fwd or rev).
It's really amazing to see so many helpful comments from the community you've built. Just a question on why did you sell the bumpers and body panels? wouldn't you still need them even if it's electric?
Im happy our comments are helping you. I've had to sell things in the past to help out my family. That's why I love tech & other stuff that can be flipped. Keep up your great electric personality 😊👍

I've your Patreon - having an option of pay per-video is a good idea there. That way folks can see a clear value for money and it can wind up being more lucrative if you're consistently producing videos. I think having a pay what you want option (I assume you can set a minimum so it's not all eaten by fees) would be good for people who want to go for a higher level of consistent support as well. Love seeing the details! I would be interested in seeing what you've spent so far and earned so far, in addition to the total project cost. Excited to see what comes next, and best of luck!
Hi Jeremy, for the parking brake, it’s definitely because you don’t have the transmission connected. I drive 911’s and you can put the brake on with the doors open, but you can’t without putting it into park (automatic) or neutral (manual). See if you can bypass this somehow
If the brake pedal is electronic it probably has a built in position sensor which controls how much pressure is being applied. If that’s the case you will more than likely need the pedal hooked up to release the parking brake as it won’t sense any brake application without it.
Eletronic parking break usually needs the door to be closed + seat belt on to turn off. This happened to another UA-camr called Devin Niemela on his Honda Civic Type-R, try that because this might be the problem
Well I'm just commenting about nothing because comments help so I figure why not and then I also pressed the like button. I wonder if long comments are better than short comments.
That was sad news to hear after 16 years they let you go. After watching your channel, I am truly shocked the company could be so short sighted to let a person of your caliber go. I understand cutbacks, but really they should try to retain the overall good folks. Good luck.
Hey just to give you a heads up, that second color you are using causes issues for people that are color blind. I literally can't make it out at all. Try sticking with darker colors!
I ordered a shirt. Hopefully your supporters and sponsors can keep things afloat until you jump back onto a new job. From the great work, planning, and problem solving that you showed in your videos, you will probably get snapped up quickly by another eager employer before you can get comfortable. 😎
When you tried to sell those parts yourself, did you add actual part numbers to the listing name? Btw. when are you going to get rid of the nasty outro, your yt income = your bread now.
@@ElectricSuperCar you are very welcome. I’ve been in your situation before and have friends in that situation now. You are a talented person who any company would love to have.

Thanks Friend!
I guess you need to press the brake pedal to release the parking break.
In some cars it is brake fluid pressure not a switch on the pedal
Thanks for the comment!
Confirming - you have to press brake pedal in Porsche. There’s another way - put in drive and drive:) itll disengage automatically.
In vehicles with electronic parking breaks you do need to engage the brake pedal to disengage the parking brake.
Thanks!
Thanks so much! Your support is amazing!

@@ElectricSuperCar You are welcome. Wishing you good luck on the project.
Can't add much, but I CAN confirm that the german writing does indeed say Parking Brake. Keep it up! I'm enjoying this content.
Yes, "everyone" knows this hit and what does the songs name mean ;) ua-cam.com/video/HuMelPdyvsg/v-deo.html
Thanks for that!
Could the park brake be engaging (as a safety measure) because there is no gearbox detected?
Good thought
love seeing the update about numbers at the end!

Be aware a lot of German cars use the module case as the ground. Ungrounded models may be damaged.
Good to know!
From what I've heard an airbag deploy can ruin the clock spring and could be why the horn is not working.
Thanks for the comment!
Closed the doors and trunks to operate the parking brake if not make it a manually operated parking brake from a older boxster or cayman
Thanks for the suggestion!
Keep up the good work man!
Thanks so much! Your support is amazing!
Great video as usual...
Whats going on about the K1 Attack.
Shouldent the dealer sell it for you?

Parking brake needs the clutch switch connected, I believe it’s a PWM position.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Smart idea selling the parts in one single package to resellers. 👍🏾
Exactly!
I'm curious: why selling the outside panels? Won't you need them to rebuild the car?
Plan is to make my own custom body panels
@@ElectricSuperCar oh nice, good luck with the project :)
Parking brake will probably need a brake pedal press to release.
Thanks for the comment!
great video update. good decision as well on offloading parts! I don't know if YT Shorts will help your revenue but might be worth a shot.
Was the 3.6k inclusive of the engine ? That seems very low.
Yep
good luck with your build, I think everything will be good
Thank you!
To get the wipers to work, start with closing the hood (hoodswich), otherwise it won't work.
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!
Wipers don't work when car "thiks" that front hood is opened, my vw is blocking wipers after hood opening.
Good call! I'll check
I think you have to step on the normal break to release the park break.
Thanks for the suggestion!
How’s the job hunt going? I haven’t watched the recent videos but I’m doing that rn, hope it’s going well!!
Thanks for asking
My guess on the e-brake is that you need to press the gas pedal to release it
Parking brake needs communication with transmission. You can't put it on when your in drive
Thanks for the suggestion!
Y did u sell the undamaged body parts?(side skirts, rear bumper), r u planing to replace them with something different?
I am planning on my own custom panels
Great videoo! Interesting to see the numbers
Thanks Friend!
I support your work
Thanks so much!
Awesome video
Thanks!
It always hurts when you sell stuff for what you know is barely a half of what you would have to spend if you wanted it (back).
Keep up you great work ❤

It’s a good decision!
just realized i missed your last 2 videos. YT did not notify
I guess recheck your subscription and notifications 🤔
The parking brake is in the transmission that you sold
I don't think so. It has electronic parking brake on the calipers
He just prevented a whole world war between Porsche and tesla by giving example of apple watch and a roles
Good luck man

Algorithm comment 👍
Thanks for that!
Why you don't take a Mazda rx8 for the base of the electric supercar
Sadly in your attempts to make room in your garage asap you got about half the value of parts
Yes, but I could not wait the 2+ years to sell half of them
Is it just me, or can you not read the numbers he was writing on the whiteboard?
When you tried to sell those parts yourself, did you add actual part numbers to the listing name?
Btw. when are you going to get rid of the nasty outro, your yt income = your bread now.
Fair point!
Please use only Porche suspension components, Tesla suspension is rubbish in comparison
That is the plan!
@@ElectricSuperCar Love that!
