Porsche, This Just Won’t Do: Porsche Connect Data Drops Suddenly from 10GB to 3GB

Using YouTube in the Cayenne Previously, I wrote an article about how we installed a rear monitor in the back seat of our Cayenne so our kids could watch YouTube and other videos back there. We bought our Cayenne in September 2020 from the dealer’s new car stock, and at that time, we thought the Porsche Connect Wi-Fi data allowance was “3GB per month.” Then a reader commented, The previous data allowance was 3GB, but...

Washing the Porsche Cayenne｜Can the Cayenne Fit in an Automatic Car Wash?

Washing the Cayenne Our Cayenne’s body color is white, but starting around December last year, the dirt really started to show. So my husband tried to wash it once, but The Cayenne is so big that I just can’t reach the middle of the roof. Washing it properly by myself is tough. Maybe it’s better to get a hand wash service. he said. However, the end of the year was hectic, and we couldn’t find...

What’s the Real Fuel Economy of the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid?

Three Months with the Cayenne E-Hybrid Since Delivery Lately, I’ve been using the Cayenne E-Hybrid mostly for short trips like picking up the kids or running errands nearby, so battery-only driving is more than enough. Before I knew it, I hadn’t put any gas in for two whole months, and the fuel gauge has barely dropped by about 2.5 bars. The little fuel that has been used is because my husband occasionally drives the Cayenne...

Charging Environment and Real Ownership Impressions of the Cayenne E-Hybrid

Cayenne E-Hybrid Our Cayenne, delivered last month, is the Cayenne E-Hybrid, which means it can be charged externally. Today, I’d like to share a bit about the charging environment and my actual experience owning it. There are two types of charging: normal charging (using 100V or 200V AC power sources) and rapid charging from dedicated charging stations. By the way, the outlet voltage in our home parking space is 100V, so when charging the Cayenne...

A Family Trip to Awaji Island in the Porsche Cayenne

Driving the Cayenne on the Highway The other day, I took the Cayenne E-Hybrid and went to Awaji Island with my family. We didn’t have any particular plans, but my husband said, “Driving the Cayenne on the highway is really amazing. It’s incredibly comfortable and runs so well. How about going to Awaji Island today? Since we have the Cayenne, why not try driving it on the highway?” So, we decided to head to Wellness...

Installing Rear Seat Monitors in the Porsche Cayenne: Now We Can Watch YouTube in the Car

Installing Monitors in the Cayenne’s Rear Seats For the first time in our Cayenne, we installed monitors in the rear seats. Actually, my husband had been suggesting for a while, “Why don’t we put monitors in the back seats for the kids?” but I had a strange stubbornness about it and kept refusing, saying: No, no, we shouldn’t spoil the kids like that. Watching TV in the car shouldn’t become the norm. So, until now,...

Purchased and Delivered: The New Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid

New Cayenne, Delivered We are thrilled to announce that the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid (model 9YA) has officially arrived at our home. This is not a test drive, nor a temporary loan from an acquaintance—it is genuinely “delivered” to our family. Oh my, what a surprise… (*_*) Until last month, this was completely unexpected, so honestly, I’m still amazed.
