This seems like a good topic, however I suggest adding chapters so we can skip to the content that we're interested in. That way people who have the time can watch the whole video and people that have less time can watch what is important to them.
Porsche owners run the gamut from those with a lot of knowledge of vehicles and those who do not. I've encountered a member (thankfully few) who was proud of the fact that his 912 has its original tires (on it). Yikes. Not a thing to be proud of. My point is this video can't please everyone but can provide some things that maybe we don't know.
This is the dry presentation I had to deal with going to Porsche corporate training…😂 I remember when the 997 came out and we had to go to sales training at Hershey park, sitting through the new GPS system was MURDEROUS! 😂 I’m all “Don’t try to be funny bro, we’re sales…we’re the personality hires, you’re the tech nerds…simply give me the technical data and product knowledge I need to push these p cars…😂.
I use below 3,000 rpm on all my toys and cars until warm. Oil must be warm, not the water. Best part is the 6mm anti dive feature. I wil keep saving up to get a GT in my stable just for that feature.
"We have thousands of engineers. You're not smarter than them." Maybe. Maybe not. But we understand that they are working under certain regulatory, cost, manufacturing and other constraints. Their design goals and parameters used by the engineers may be different than what an owner feels is optimal to suit his personal priorities. For example, I happen to like a tiny bit of front toe out on my 991.2 3RS, regardless of what the manual recommends as a track alignment. I like the turn-in better, and I'm comfortable with the lower stability under hard braking, at least within what is reasonable for me at the track I frequent. You can line up all the genius engineers and test drivers you want, to each have a turn telling me why it's a bad idea, but you can't be me with my driving feel preferences.
Well Dan, theres alot of others that disagree with you. We are not children . We are car enthusiasts , who know something about our vehicles and want to learn MORE! Something unique that is not common knowledge! To most people driving their Porsches. I don’t have the time to be entertained and talked to like a simpleton or a child. The video was presented as learning something not common about our cars . It did not deliver . I don’t want to sound disrespectful , but PCA should take constructive criticism and work to improve the information and presentation for future videos. Thank you
You are welcome with your opinion of course 😊. There are different views on what they should provide of course and they cannot please everyone. I’m not expecting this videos to be the source of deep knowledge, that I seek elsewhere. Impressed by the work that they put down for the members. Everything can improve of course with constructive ideas.
How do I get an Owner's Manual for my 2012 Carrera S 991? I purchased the car in May 2023 as a CPO, but it had no OM. I have been asking the dealer for it, and a year later I still don't have one. I just found out how to spray my headlights with the water nozzels...LOL! So, do you have an Owner's Manual for my 2012 CS 991?
Give it a break. He was just saying to take advantage of the engineering advances you have paid for - and it’s a truthful statement when you aggregate the cumulative R&D.
My 987.1 has only one rear fog light on the driver's side as you mentioned. I always wondered if this was correct or if I had a bulb out. I haven't had the car very long.
@@charlesreaddy6585 LOL. I have. It doesn't say whether only one light should come on or two. I had a feeling it was an odd European thing that only one light would be on. I suppose I should just check all the bulbs to be sure.
Us spec cars only have it on that side. Whether it’s a Porsche Mercedes Audi. I had one stupid cop pull me over in my slk that thought my taillight was messed up.
@@refuztosay9454 I guess it depends on the platform. I've heard this from a few experts and I've run 0 toe with -2 camber on my own daily driven car with marginal wear.
Good lord , that was torture! Was hoping to learn something unique about the cars but it just dragged on-and on! Please next time list a syllabus of the topics to be discussed!
I didn’t say I didn’t learn anything ! Simply for a 50 minute presentation there is alot of frivolous information that dragged on . A syllabus for specific examples would be nice. That way you can go to the topic that interests you.
@@RonRohde And what's his point? What does that have to do with anything? When I sold Porsche five years ago, I gave the tour in about 15 mins. This guy spent 40 mins. hyping up the engineers and looking down on the new owners. I still don't understand what they intended to do with this event.
Fun fact in all of the owners manuals since forever it always says “we wish you many safe and pleasurable miles driving in your PORSCHE.”
9:49 in my Panamera I would use the map screen on the dash as reference in bad weather or a heavy rain storm.

You can scroll along the bottom of the youtube - it will tell you the topics.
Great work on this. I didnt realize how much of a tech geek that I am….I truly enjoyed this.
Definitely a video for tech nerds

Great video! Learned a few things I always wished I knew but have been too lazy to look up in the manual. Much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!

in 4 words "read Your Owner's Manual" However, loved the video
Happy to hear you enjoyed the video.
Decent video with some very useful info.
Glad it was helpful!
The discussion about key battery was helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.
I just cannot understand the negative comments!?? Very good presenter, explaining in an easy way. 😀👍🏻
Same. I attended this event and the presentation was excellent in person. Rolf is absolutely fantastic. He's extremely knowledgable and to the point.
Thank you. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video.

So, do you have an Owner's Manual for my 2012 CS 991?
*Imagine showing up to this expecting to learn something and instead just being insulted that "you're not smarter than us." Wow.* 🙄
Nice of you to tell us how smart you are.

@@refuztosay9454 So why not say that? Yeah, see? There's what was said and there's how it was said. Big difference.

Best video to DATE !!!
We appreciate it🫡 Thank you for watching.
Perhaps should have mentioned that using a tire repair kit is a better choice than the supplied adhesive goo.
Thank Jesus for fast forward. 😣
27:00 Some experts say aggressive toe settings wear down tires far more than camber
True - but the changes to camber were greater, thus the call out of it.
@@refuztosay9454 I guess it depends on the platform. I've heard this from a few experts and I've run 0 toe with -2 camber on my own daily driven car with marginal wear.
Most Porsche owners don’t have such long wingspans.
Is this about teaching people how to read a manual?
We’d say encouragement for those who haven’t read theirs yet.
Great vid 👍
Thanks 👍

He said Porsche Lehi Valley…is this from Prosche Lehi in Utah?
Lehigh Valley, PA.
Probably Pennsylvania
Allentown PA Porsche. We attended the October 2023 meeting. This guy is boring and hard to listen to.

We're surprised you didn't learn anything watching this. Chapter markers coming soon, we apologize for not having them ready yet as we usually do.

@charlesreaddy6585 Looking forward to watching your next Porsche information video - when will it air? 😇
Bashar and Niel deGrasse Tyson had a love child who picked German cars for a career
59 minutes? this should be 5 minutes
Right? And the dude was really passive-aggressive on the insults.
Well it was an in person event and they had a lot of time to kill!_!
How many new porsche's do you own?
@@billnorblat4047 if you're replying to me, just one, a 718 Cayman

I just can't with this guy. Minutes in & he's already lost a viewer. Ick.
You’re not wrong…
I think he is fantastic at explaining in a very simple way.
Didn't see anyone leaving the room during the presentation, and it was SRO...😇
Lost me at “last thing you want to do off road is break traction”
For Pete's sake, get to the point.
I'm a big Porsche fan but the 914 is as ugly as the Cybertruck. 😂. The porsche 997 snd 928s are the best looking Porsches.
