Supposedly he bought a Taycan but is surprised by the high charging cost. He is an economic consultant in Detroit. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2021/10/21/electric-vehicle-charging-cost-vs-gas/6110815001

Funny because just this weekend a group of kids walked by and started arguing about whether my Taycan was a Porsche or a Lambo. (The Urus was actually next to it but that garage door was closed.) It gets about as much attention as my Rari did. To bring this back to OP's question, I was also...

Thread jack but supposedly the traffic cops told him to move, he refused, one of them spit on him, that was a mistake. P.S. I'm from Taiwan, how are things there these days? Specifically is there still brain drain and pessimism about the future, are there any everyday differences due to the...

Figure out whether it is your own tire noise that is causing the problem. If so I don't think insulated glass will help much with that. You need to pick quieter tires (usually smaller, all-season). That being said, I would still pick insulated glass for the other noise-reducing benefits. (It...

With that attitude yes you should be worried. Criminals can tell you're afraid of them and easy prey. If you're not fit, get fit. Join a dojo, both to learn to fight and make friends with people who can back you up. Get a CCW and spend time at the range. Then drive around in your flashy car...

I don't really buy this test but some people like them....

P.S. It uses T25 Torx screws. There are also a ton of clips, male and female. I tried to take it off without a trim remover and it was a PITA. Doesn't seem like there's much interest so not going to write it up but LMK if you have questions.

Thanks, I know it's just 30 minutes, but does it not stop automatically after 30 minutes? Do you have to be there to stop it or else it will start charging you? Meaning the 10 min grace period is only helpful if your car reaches 100%.

I'm surprised no one else has scraped this and replaced it but I can confirm the part number above is correct. Completely unsponsored endorsement: I got it from GetPorscheParts (Porsche Silver Spring) who got it to me in 3 days using standard shipping, which blew my mind. I figure it's worth...

Am I right that after 30 minutes, if your battery is not full, it will keep charging your car and charging your credit card? So you have to be there at exactly 30 minutes to disconnect it? I thought the 10 minute grace period meant there was some way to get 40 minutes before you had to get...

Is it 9J1807541OK1 for the 4S w/o sport design? The part that juts out at the lower front that gets scratched. P.S. If you also know what torx size is used to attach it that would be super helpful. Thanks!

Do you not already have your car? What are you trying to figure out? I was a little worried but then learned there's a repeater with the wireless charger. However I didn't end up needing it (and iPhone 12 overheats in that cubby) and the repeater is gone for '22. I have a metal roof.

I like that but not enough vents.

https://jalopnik.com/tesla-model-s-plaid-finally-set-the-nurburgring-record-1847647872 I do wonder whether Porsche used the Turbo instead of the Turbo S because the latter is not actually faster on a track or they were sandbagging.

My understanding is that batteries degrade due to cycles AND due to keeping it at high state of charge. Here's the first link I found: Strangely enough, batteries are under the most strain when they're fully charged or completely empty. The real sweet spot for a battery is 50 per cent charge...

I used direct charging once. Thought it was a per-charging session thing. Next time I charged, I come back in a week to see the car charged at 100%. (1) PSA: turn direct charging back off after using it (2) What % of my battery capacity did I lose because I had my battery at 100% for a week?

Avoid granny shifting, not double-clutching like you should

You quoted @TayTaySD not me. I'm the original crossover singing sensation.

Are you sure he wasn’t the assistant to the specialist? You can easily see the difference in the front windshield. The optional windshield has a blacked out area above the rear view mirror (because that’s where the metallic cutout is). Like so: The standard windshield doesn’t:
