What I really love about the new tracker app is....
Discussion
The new Cayenne (and I assume other new Porsches) have an app that goes with the tracker, enables you locate the car and set alerts (like tell me if the car goes over a 100).
Also tells you how much fuel you have etc and you can lock the car from remotely, its actually very good.
You'd think the dealers would know that we have access to this info now, and would be mindful of it. Regardless of the fact thats not how a customers car should be treated tracker or no tracker.
I would name the OPC, but although I have undeniable proof it would break PH rules, which is a shame.

I'm not sure this qualifies as "naming and shaming" it's more of a safety warning to other owners. Perhaps a mod could tell us if this is naming and shaming? If anyone really wants more details them email the OP.

Whilst I would generally agree that dealers driving your car at 100mph + is bad, for cars like the Cayenne turbo, which is what I assume we are talking about, 100mpg is slow.
There must be a whole load of behaviour that doesn't show up at legal road speeds? I used to have a car that was un-drivable at 80, how else would a dealer test it?

Regardless, it is not legal to drive at over 70mph on britain's roads. If it was done on a private road, then I would be still be questioning the necessity of it. If the OP had an issue that could only be resolved with 100mph+ test drives, I'm sure he wouldn't have posted.There must be a whole load of behaviour that doesn't show up at legal road speeds?

The car had a leaking roof. So not sure 100mph+ is required.Paddy_N_Murphy said:
notwithstanding the 'car can do it' theory, my line of thinking is two fold : was it someone just wellying it for chuckles - and what other lack of consideration was given therefore (i.e. nailing it before giving it a warm up. unnecessary hardship on the car) and what the hell then happens and follows if or when the OP then gets a ticket in the post.......
bad cricket IMHO
It's about respect and trust in my book. bad cricket IMHO
The tracker gives you the time date and location, and no neither time was it on a private road.

es it would be naming and shaming: the OP is accusing the OPC of malpractice.

I'm not accusing any body of anything I'm stating fact. Whilst the car has been with them the 100mph alert has been triggered on two occasions, days apart.If anyone really wants more details them email the OP.
Maybe the tracker is faulty or they will tell me the car has been stolen, but my initial conversation with them suggests not.
