      @@PalleRunquist-d5c, the point I wanted to know was why Porsche was shutting his car down. The actually truth is Porsche isn't shutting his car down, just turning some features off because they are subscription based features. I suspect he could have found this out before buying the car. Reading through the Owner's Manual would probably have revealed these subscription based features. It's a new day and age. Cars have come with subscription based features for at least 20 years now (XM radio for example), and asking about the subscription based features that are in a car would be a prudent move. I will admit that I didn't know how many subscription based features new cars are coming with now but I will be sure to ask about them when we buy our next car.

    Last weekend. Me and my 21 year old Vauxhall combo diesel van travelled from my home in east Yorkshire to London, on to st ives in Cornwall then back to east Yorkshire...
    Total distance of 980 miles.
    I started with a full tank. I refilled in Bridgewater on the way home. I still had half a tank left when I got home.
    No way could I have done that journey in an EV van. Id likely still be doing the journey stopping every 100 miles for a 2 hour recharge.

      You are now driving for circa 1p a mile versus 13p a mile for petrol.
      Do 150,000 miles at 1p a mile versus 13p a mile and bingo - you just saved £18,000, not only paying for the car but putting another £6,000 in your pocket.
      But wait, you also don't need oil changes, numerous pumps and belts, catalytic converters and exhausts, new clutch and oh so much more!

Oh, the average temp is 0 C or less for 8 months of the year. The land and my home are beautiful and I love it, do I want a battery powered car or truck? Nope, not now, not ever. Surprisingly there are Tesla and other chargers around, never in use except for the summertime cidiots passing through. For some reason there seem to be fewer remote combustion vehicles (as John Cadogan from down under calls BEVs) the last couple of years on the highway, even in summer.

    Now here's a hint: there are two Porsches. One was a company that made air cooled sports cars, which today are very valuable. You could service them yourself, in fact they provided a toolkit. You just needed an inspection pit in your garage and you could do just about anything. They also made a liquid cooled mid engine sports car which with a bit more knowledge you could also maintain yourself.
    The other Porsche is a division of VAG and needs to be avoided unless you are OK with the rule I was once told by a German engineer: Never buy a Porsche unless you can afford to buy three.
