Quote: Which service center?
Tesla in DFW. Where he purchased it from. The first time they said he had a screen protector on it but he said he never saw or felt like it had a screen protector. This was after being in service for more than a few hours.

Ah....now I remember I doubt the Turbo button actually did anything. Computers back then were slow, with or without turbo enabled

Turbo switch did increase CPU frequency. With Porsche the turbo moniker means exactly nothing except "tradition" I guess.

trivia: there were at most 3 cuts of case keys that's it. Turbo display had no idea if the CPU actually clocked up.

With modern Porsches, "turbo" is used to highlight their top performance-oriented models. Many Porsche models now have a turbocharged engine, but only the top performing models in any given model range are called "turbo". It's much the same with their EVs. The top performers are simply adopting the performance branding of their ICE cars. So it is tradition, but it's also consistent with how all their vehicles are marketed.

Thanks, a little confusing, but makes sense

I see it as similar to the ICE world where downsizing happened, but they kept old nomenclature.

330i used to mean a 3 series with a 3.0 liter engine. Now it's a 2.0 turbo 4 that fills the role of that old NA 3.0 engine.

He just learned his loaner ‘23MYLR is a lemon law buyback 🥴

He bought his ‘21 M3LR used. I told him there had to be a preexisting issue with the screen unless the previous owner never took it in for service to address it. He’s had the car less than 2 weeks.

Haha that's funny 🤣 At least it's only a loaner.

As Allen mentioned, I wouldn't take the car back without them changing the screen. I'm sure that's what they will do now, they say third time's a charm

Why, because they were advertising one of their products?
