Ha! Thanks, but I'm really kind of stuck. MY24 is nearing, so I'm not sure what the right thing to do is anymore. Does your dealer really have an allocation, and do you know what stage of build it's in?
Does anyone know if this email for Porsche means anything with respect to my order (on demand)? Dealer hasn't told me that my order was attached to an allocation yet.
Results of this article are questionable at best.
The fact that there's even a table ranking cars by how "eye catching" they are in a piece probably speaks to the level of automotive journalism going on here.
Model 3 is pretty hideous.
Rear quarter window is an easy target, much like Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. Goal isn't to steal the car, but drop the rear seats to check the trunk for laptops etc. Really doesn't matter if you have 2+1 or not. That window was backordered in the US for quite some time.
I'm not sure if...
Thanks @ssim for the insights.
I guess it affirms that ST allocations are just very rare, and that waiting is going to just have to continue for that car.
Just curious: are US allocations for the GTS Sport Turismo still very very sparse? I've been #3 at my dealership (granted a small one) since the car was announced (about 13-14 months ago now).
This is about average, and what I would expect at most places. Even places that are good have lazy days or lazy employees that just don't care.
There is only one place I've been to that cares enough to do the job very well. They also have a 4-6 month wait, charge a lot more, and only have the...
If you live in a warmer climate, I'd suggest Thinkware U1000 4K over Blackvue. The Blackvue mount is cantilevered so it has a tendency to sag in warmer climates, and they overheat too easily. Image quality with Thinkware is a little better, and the app is a big step up.
I'd suggest hardwiring a...
Hope you get the allocation back. Sounds like a questionable salesperson or even-worse, the GM, that you likely do not want a long term relationship with though.'
Good luck!
I don't see a lot of threads referring to this, but I stopped using Blackvue for some time now. I had their top of the line model (DR900 4K Front 2K Rear) for some time on our family car, and the system always seemed to overheat easily. The mount was also finicky as it would slightly sag as most...
Sorry to hear about this. As someone waiting over a year as well for an allocation to even lock-in, I feel your pain.
Wonder if you can make the most of the time while waiting for parts. For example, PPF or tint or anything else you need to take care of before hitting the road.
Makes sense that one could think this way. If you've decided your expectations will be set so low in any environment besides your home audio setup, well then kudos to you for pouring all the audiophile money into 1 outlet.
I, for one, am not nearly as successful, temporally independent, and/or...
I'm sure YMMV on this topic, but I would option the Burmeister. I drove a Taycan 4 CT rental with the Bose system, and it was very disappointing. Again, YMMV depending on your tastes, but anyone who says the Bose system is good enough likely isn't a discerning listener or doesn't care to be one.
Dead thread maybe, but Sound Innovations in Union City has been a great place for me. Ernesto, the owner, has personally in the business of mobile audio, alarms, radar, and dash cams since I was literally a kid.
Great work and even better people there. You can tell them Rich w/ the GTC4Lusso...
