Was browsing around old articles and found this old Top Gear one from March 2018:

Going a bit down, it says:
"Weckbach says Porsche will offer over-the-air software updates. It's also possible the company...
They are not as bad as people think they are.
Tyler Durden is both reliable and trust worthy.
though ev sales are indeed down and has been down for the past 2 years.
expecting major manufacturers to push back their EV commitments.
I would get it fixed and ppf the whole car.
Ours have been fully ppf'ed since new and it has been a godsend. Saved us from paint work multiple times. The investment has easily paid off.
Omg the GTS is fast, super car territory fast.
though Porsche had this hybrid tech back in the 918 spyder but kept it away from the 911 to satisfy purists, but imagine a turbo S, or the gt2rs for the 992.2. Turbo S will be in the sub 2.5 to 60 hands down.
the times we live in!
Likewise with the Tire Pressure.
Same reason, several nails in a short time-span. I monitor it like a hawk now and check tires weekly.
I've also developed an obsession to having perfect, manufacturer recommended cold-tire pressures given the constant display of pressure monitoring...
yep. I live in the middle kingdom. I've gotten a fond liking of the Avatr, best designed chinese EV in my opinion.
My wife always laughs when I boast about mustering out 400 km range during road trips on a '21 small battery Taycan RWD. I always end by mentioning that at least it's still...

was driving 5 kph below speed limit consistently across the whole trip on cruise, so wasn’t too worried about having to emergency overtake etc.
only time I stray overtaking is...
Did 250 miles on small battery a few days ago. Road trip on range mode with ideal conditions. Hard to replicate on a daily basis, especially under heavy city traffic.
Porsche is trying to expand their total addressable market to the females.
In China, you see a disproportionate female Porsche owners/drivers in comparison to the west. White boxster with red roof and interior and diamond sparked license plates? Check.
The list goes on.
The frozen...
The three patches, with one close to the sidewall. Tire still held pressure very well despite the patches and cracks. Took it home for as a last resort spare. Two month lead time for the good year NF0s. At the rate of getting nails in the tire, better keep these handy.
I am waiting for the day I switch all four to PS4s, which do not have a supply dearth in China.
just had to be the good years fitted on at production of this 2021 Taycan.
the lead time is one month for one of these and I keep a new spare around just for situations like this.
update on the status. New tire fitted today at Porsche along with a pcm update. Porsche tech says the tire crack was likely caused by the machinery and technician before the tire plug. The tire rim removal machine used at chain tire/auto repair shops are notoriously generic and designed for much...
