Thank you for sharing your recent Taycan repair experience. I have the Taycan sitting at the Porsche dealership right now waiting for a full examination. I am really hoping that the damage is minimal so that the dealership can fix it. However, if it needs to go someplace for more extensive...

I love my R1T. Not as much as my CT4s, but the Rivian is saving my bacon now since I am down a vehicle.

Unfortunately not. I do have pictures of a police car parked in a spot where the road damage was after I hit the object, pictures of other cars being towed, confirmation that the police were called to the scene after I hit the object because of road damage, pictures of the car on the tow...

Your words to the ears of the Porsche gods! I am hoping all of the bad karma I have generated does not come back to haunt me on the repair. If the battery is damaged, then I would bet it is a minimum 6 month wait time since they have to ship a new one via boat to the US.

Yes, my version of CDOT - Colorado Dept of Transportion - has something similar. As soon as get the estimate from the dealership, I will be filling out paperwork. I am going to go all crazy suburban housewife with too much time on their hands over this. I am mad, sad, frustrated, and in...

Fingers crossed it is something like this. Right now my main concerns are battery damage, and frame damage from high speed impact on an object that did not move and caused the vehicle to momentarily go airborne. I am still trying to figure out what connection was severed to cause the steering...

I have to think that fluid is the power steering fluid since I immediate lost steering ability after the impact. I don't know where the windshield wiper fluid reservoir sits, but I can't imagine it sits that far forward to where it would have been punctured and leaked.

I hoping to hear from the local Porsche dealership today, since they are delayed in the initial examination. I am really, really bummed out this. I mean I also have a Rivian, but my CT4s is my baby. Most of you guys know, this grumpy old man loves his Taycan!

Last Friday I ran over a piece of metal that was sticking up from where a bridge and the roadway meet - there are metal rails at that junction point - doing 80mph in moderate traffic. I did not see the chunk of metal until it was too late, and since the metal was wedged in the spacing/gap...

I second this motion.

I am going to take it to a different level on why I will never go back to a Tesla. Besides being cheaply made and driving like dog turd, they are just plain, and boring looking. I am an almost 55, twice divorced recent cancer survivor. There is absolutly no way I am pulling up to a nice...

Fair enough, and thanks for the insight. Let's see if Tesla adheres to that schedule, and how they will manage the process. As they say, let's see the rubber it the road before we give Tesla credit for opening their network.

Soon???? Dream on. I am betting the independent adapter will only be available once these legacy car makers start rolling out models with a NACs plug built into the car. Only then will Tesla provide an adapter for the older cars of these auto manufactorers that have a CCS plug. Tesla is...

The problem in Texas is not Electrify America. The problem in Texas is Texas. It is not Electrify America's fault that the DC charging infrastructure in Texas is thwarted by the medieval, backwater mentality of is local government resulting in less state wide high speed charging options than...

Go back to a Tesla???

I used the Rivian DC chargers in Salida, CO, Grand Junction, CO and Holbrook, AZ. The Salida charger is next to a Safeway store, the Grand Junction charger is by the mall, and the Holbrook charger is behind the Taco Bell. Since 75% of the Rivian staff is made up of former Tesla employees, the...

My CT is Ice Grey. I had a Model X from 2016 to 2019. Was a great car to road trip in even though it rattled a bunch and drove sloppily. Paul

So far so good, knock on wood. Over the 4th of July week I did a road trip to Telluride and Flagstaff to break in the Rivian. I used three Rivian DC chargers, which were flawless. I rolled into Telluride with 65%, so I just plugged the truck into the wall charger for the 4 days I was there...

I dig the wrap. And, nice motorbike in the back. I rode BMW GS adventure bikes for a long time, but people are too distracted for me to enjoy long distance trips on a motorbike anymore. I have to admit that I am happy that I ditched the F-150 Lightning for the Rivian since I can fit both of...

Sincere there is no thread on the forum touching on OTA updates or software that @daveo4EV does not bring up Tesla, I am going to go a different direction since they may know how to write software, but they make $hit cars. This is how you prepare your vehicle for meaningful OTA software...
