Really? I really have to take it back in?

That's a little sad. Sort of like saving your girlfriend for her next boyfriend! ? My car is only 2 years old with 5,500 miles and I swap out summer and winter tires, and my summers are already more than 50% worn, and I think I'm too gentle!

Oh, to be clear, I didn't mean that as an insult or catty remark. We are all in the same boat, so I was poking fun at the folly of being certain about much given our limited exposure. I personally wish I knew as much as I did when I was 18! :p

With EVs, does that really matter (and I mean that seriously not as a smart aleck response)? Since there are so many fewer moving parts, I would feel much more comfortable buying a used EV based on service records and inspection for physical damage/wrecks than I would for an ICE, and...

My first Model X, one of the very first sold, was rock solid. My second Model X was a piece of sh*t. The second one bricked on me while on vacation during the pandemic at Kiawah in South Carolina. It caused enormous problems for trying to get back home to DC. They were insisting on towing it...

You all would be proud of me: I picked up my car in less than 5 minutes and didn’t even so much as glance at the showroom. I was in a hurry to get back to office and inadvertently “provoked” two Cayenne GTSs to “race” me :rolleyes: and a maintenance van who had no contact whatsoever with me...

I just got my car back from recall work and two year service, and my home link programming is wiped out. I have exactly the same screen, which is different than before.

Makes sense, although I try NOT to look around so that I will not be tempted as I am very weak. Me going to a Porsche dealer is like an alcoholic going to a Napa tasting room . . .

I'll not confirm nor deny due to privacy reasons (the pictures were taken at a place that is not in front of my house), but thanks for the response! This happens to be Porsche of Arlington. I used to use Tysons with previous personnel, but I like Porsche of Arlington more now. You uniquely...

So, I took my Taycan in for the two year service, to address a few recall compaigns, and to have both of my rear summer tires replaced for a cut on one (under a road Hazzard warranty). They are also swapping out my summers for winters at the same time. I had no issues with the car apart from...

He’s drunk on his own kool aid

I agree with the general point that the Porsche software is nowhere near as user friendly as in the Tesla, and Porsche foregoes little things that would make life so much easier. I know this is anecdotal, but in my two years of ownership, I have had no perceivable connectivity issues and I have...

Well, with that kind of damage, imagine how expensive (and dangerous) a blowout at high speed could be? I don't want to be penny wise and pound foolish . . . In any event, I found out from dealer that I'm getting two fresh tires for the rear axle on them . . . Does anyone here know what the...

Well, sort of good news. I uncharacteristically purchased tire hazard insurance from the dealer, so this damage is covered, which is very good because you have to replace both tires on an axle if the wear differential is more than 2 mm. These Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 3s come new with...

I use it. FSD and Innodrive have different objectives and it’s very hard to move from one system to the other, but if you can get your head around that Innodrive is a driver assist rather than driver replacement technology, you can get the most out of it. Every time new technology comes along...

Fibers are cut and I’m not taking chances when a new tire is only US$435 + US$85 for mounting and balancing. Life’s too short . . .

In looking at this cut, it seems like this may have been caused by hitting a pothole at mid speed (i.e., not too slow and not too fast), as it doesn't really look like a cut from a sharp object. I wonder whether the weight of the Taycan makes it more susceptible to this type of damage?

So, I was changing out my winter rims and tires for my summer rims and tires, and found this cut all the way down to the belts as I did my inspection. Yikes. I can’t imagine having a blowout at 100 mph, although I would hope the mode of failure would be a loss of pressure first. But I may not...
