My car is over 2 years old and still has a burning electronics smell in the frunk. It's not excessive, and sort of smells like new electronics getting burned in. I thought this was because voltage was fairly high at 14.5. But now I see hawc hit 15. Do any other of you have this stink?

Chuck....I'm at nearly 2 years/15K miles & my garage always has a lingering "hot"
odor from my 991 after a drive - lasts at least a day or more & it's in own separate garage.

My other cars don't seem to do this.

Have not specifically noticed the frunk smell.

 

Same here. I actually love that smell!

 

I also have it, but it is present in and out of the car. I don't use my trunk so I don't know if it's stronger there. Hot engine, exhaust & brakes seem to trigger it.

I never smell anything inside the car (with windows up). Just the smell from exhaust/ engine when I am outside. Brakes are usually not burning hot when I shut the car off. No smell from that.

No real smell from frunk either, but I rarely use it.

 

Today it actually hit 15.2V but I photographed it for you at 15.1V

It was the first cold day of the year with my new 991.

 

Wow...15.2V is high.

 

I guess I won't worry about my 14.5

I won't either. I also should mention that I don't detect any burning odors from the frunk or inside the vehicle. However, there is definitely a pungent organic smell that fills the garage when I return from a drive.

 

Just had 15.3V right now. It's 1c. I wonder if it goes higher the colder it gets to make sure the battery stays topped up. Sorry no picture.

 

Yep, Tina it must be a function of the higher operating temperature.

What's the ambient temperature?

seems to me that the lower the temps, the higher the voltage reading.

 

 

Today was a chilly 58 degrees and the reading was 14.9

 

42 degrees had the seat and steering wheel warmers on and the reading was as high as 15.2 Again - this is not indicative of an electrical problem
