    Do you have tire insurance?

    Have I done this exact same thing. The Discount Tire deal is very good.

    at what point do we stop apologizing for Porsche

    I have to agree with ciaranob - it's a bit of a strange post. I can't really relate to the bullet points. My car has been great to date. I have (and still have) had a few other Porsches. I didn't buy any of them for their great software. I bought them for their driving dynamics. Sure, I...

    Radar Detector - Hardwire Fuse Box

    I agree with this. I did the mirror tap as well, and it was very easy - took about 20 min total.

    Frequent charging error at home

    This is the exact purpose of using timers. Set a timer for 85% at 6:30am, repeat it everyday, and you never have to manually figure out when to plug in the charger. The car will do it all automatically and start charging the car based on the current SOC and availabe kW rate.

    [ANNOUNCED] - PMCC tech advisory : charging rate amperage lowered for "normal" usage of the PMCC (rate reduced by half)

    I did the same as you and picked up a Wallbox Pulsar Plus. It has worked great so far. Since I already have a Mustart for road tripping, the PMC+ has been put in it's new permanent home - the back of the closet.

    How to charge to 85%

    This works for me. I believe you need to have the timer "repeat" every day, or after so long (30 min?) the car starts charging again to 100%

    Useful charging accessories for road trips

    I would bring a J1772 extension cable. I had to use mine on two different trips as the spots in front of the hotel's EVSE were taken by ICE cars. I had to park a few spots down and use my J1772 extension cable.

    Latest Taycan Software Update Findings and Reviews Thread

    I wish for the hard mirror buttons as well!! Sometimes, I am almost (almost) tempted to clip the opener on the sun visor like the old days!

    New Porsche Taycan Jack Pads Available

    I use some old ones I have on hand from a BMW. Not a perfect fit either, but they work well and the price is right:

    Are we helping in the fight against climate change or just indulging our love of toys (er technology)?

    Some interesting links and data in this thread on Rennlist: https://rennlist.com/forums/politics-and-debates/1308752-while-the-doomsday-climate-change-scenarios.html

    Taycan Compact Spare Tire options

    Ya, looks a little different than yours on closer inspection. Yours has 10 spokes, the one I posted is only 8 spokes. The Telsa one looks very different and is only 5 spokes. They are sure marketing it as compatible to the Taycan, as that's what they are showing its specifically for.

    Taycan Compact Spare Tire options

    I saw this today, and wonder if it's the same wheel you put together (selecting the "tools" adds $100 to the price) : https://evannex.com/products/emergency-spare-tire-kit-for-porsche-taycan

    Check Your Tires!

    That is why I posted my experience - to remind others not to make the same mistake I did. These tires wear fast and on the inside edge, which is hard to see. I am sorry for your loss of someone who died from this type of thing.

    Check Your Tires!

    This is not my first performance car, nor does it see track. I currently have a 718 Spyder, and a 981 GT4 before that (that saw regular track duty), and a number of 987 Caymans before that, all seeing track duty. This Taycan just takes me back and forth to work, and the occasional road trip...

    Check Your Tires!

    Yup, I checked when you originally posted your thread, and occasionally since. I did not notice any handling or noise until it started to leak. This car just goes back and forth to work.

    Check Your Tires!

    I just want to bump this thread up and remind people to take DerekS's advice to check your tires often. I didn't, and this was the result: I have 19,024 miles on the car.
