I just completed, what was, in my estimation one of the dumbest test's that Porsche has thrown my way. Maybe the "New Face Lifted Cayenne" test is a close 2nd.
Honestly, out of 20 questions, over half were about Battery life, care and knowledge. Are you F'ing kidding me? This was preceeded by 6 pages (yes, that's correct math man, 6 pages!!) of BATTERY MISCONCEPTIONS, CARE ECT!!!
So, to amuse myself I posted a question to the 'higher-ups' @ Porsche.
This is what I said:
Chris (the Porsche dude), was this months test on 'Batteries' a covert operation by high ranking officials to confuse and brain wash us that somehow the issue with Porsche and batteries going dead aren't a concern, and really it's about the dealership and clientel alike practicing 'good battery care'?
Honestly, you guys think we make this bull**** up, but I'm here to tell ya, we don't like hearing ANYONE bitch about these damn batteries......LOL
It's painful.
Carry on!!

When they offer a quiz on the non-existent RMS, let us know.

Have you seen the brochure that comes in new Porsche cars, the idiot's guide to Porsche ownership? It's nearly unbelievable, Q&A like "why does my Porsche ride rough, why are my Porsche tires wearing out so quickly, why does my Porsche make noise when I push the accelerator, why do I have to fill it with 93, why is the clutch/shifter so heavy?"

I think we know where Bagdhad Bob landed when the US took over iraq. He is the Porsche media relations guy now. "There is no such thing as a bad battery or RMS"!!!!!!!

Thanks for reminding me of Bob--he was great theater. Makes me somehow feel better about my 928 battery issues to know that Porsche has solved them in the 996, er 997, er 998...

That's why they came out with the idiot guide. IMHO.

Those guides are Prevent Defense; "Ve told you zat.. Vaaat-u-meen .. Ju didn't rread za manual?!"
I've got it in my business: people want to create their expectations - often divorced from practical reality. Better to lower expectations in advance - if you plan in keeping the same phone number.
