our PCA meeting and providing our delicious dinner from Cracker Barrel. There was plenty of southern style food for
everyone, ranging from meatloaf, breaded chicken strips, grilled chicken
strips, green beans, mashed potatoes, carrots, stewed apples, mac and cheese,
fresh fruit, biscuits, corn bread, cookies, chocolate cola cake and birthday cake,
and southern sweet tea.
After filling our bellies, I started our meeting by welcoming everyone and recognized a new PCA member, John Eller.
TJ Gottwalt, our Triad Area Membership Ambassador, updated us on the current membership status and recognized our area’s PCA member anniversaries.

Both John Ridge and Joe Paccadolmi, Greensboro’s Porsche Product Specialists, spoke about the new vehicles, their performance and rapid EV recharging times. The new Cayenne Turbo is rated at 1,139hp and can reach 60 mph in 2.4 seconds, which is significantly faster than the Lamborghini Urus of 3.3 seconds. The Cayenne Coupe Electric is rated at 657hp. The DC @ 400kW recharging times from state of charge 10% to 80% in ~16 minutes, which is the fastest in the industry. The Cayenne has a 9.6-kW maximum charging rate for AC charging, which Porsche says can fully recharge the battery from empty to 100 percent SOC in 13 hours.

The trip will consist of traveling to Stuttgart to visit the Porsche factory and museum, Mercedes Museum, and then onto Munich to visit the BMW museum and onto visit the Bugatti museum.
