There is also the possibility that there will be centers created for major repairs, depending on the repairs in question. So dealers need not bulk up for repairs requiring a high degree of specialty, or they could do so and do for work from surrounding dealers. Something like this occurs for my...

Hurley Auto is your man. Mclean, VA. I’ve used his firm several times, including on my Taycan. Goto source for accessory add ons.

Plan B: https://electrek.co/2024/08/27/nissans-electric-gt-r-solid-state-batteries-1-mw-power/ Solid state batteries. Half the weight, twice the power, quicker charging, safer (no liquid electrolyte)

I assume your ballpark estimate of cost to replace includes installation cost as well as battery. There is a quote on here for a cost of about $27,000 for the battery alone, exclusive of labor and disposal of the old battery. That quote appears on this thread...

It‘s fun to imagine this trip. Thanks for sharing. I’m sorry, I have to ask: have you seen any blue parrots?

It’s the same as I got.

I was just informed about the brake line recall by letter from PCNA. I was also informed in the same letter that they don’t yet have the parts for a fix. Cynics might say that informing us creates a defense for P when somebody gets hurt. On the other hand, what else could they do? And on still...

Well, all I can say is that this is a pretty consistent result, looking at miles left, before and after the trip. I mentally counted this morning. I have 17 stops on a 10 mile cross-town trip, in addition to traffic congestion induced stops. I think the starting and stopping does it. But I...

Because of EA reliability problems, I’ve cut my effective range to about 60% of total range. I’d say there has indeed been an improvement here in the mid-Atlantic, but not so much that I will let the battery get down to 30% without worry. I also have my own range related issues that I have to...

Would Actve Suspension actually bring the car down hard on speed bumps? I can’t imagine they’d let that happen. If it did, you’d damage the battery protective plate and cooling system underneath. See the *long thread* on this very point...

Sober

Or tire inflation level?

An interesting point, but you’re making up rules for liability. Dealers may have pushed for laws that allow for liability free sales, in which case you would be correct. It would make sense for most used car sales. Absent a statutory framework, other general principles of law would come into it...

This is an excellent point. Since a driver receives no notification of a problem from the vehicle itself, we should get down on hands and knees to check for damage whenever we think we have gone over rough terrain. One begins to think travel over gravel roads is highly dangerous and should never...

I had my 12 volt die on me just a few days ago. Car was left for about 3 weeks. I had previously left the car for similar periods without issue. I’m concerned that a dashcam I installed (Viofo 2 camera set up) may be draining battery *during use while driving* such that, when parked, even where...

I recently had a “bricking” incident. The car refused to open because the 12 volt was dead. There’s more to the story, because I was telling the Porsche Roadside Assist guy about not engaging the car in Drive when the car turned on and parked about 2 feet facing a wall. He was a nice guy, but it...

weekend coming up. Time to pull back and consider alternatives. Your dealer obviously wants the business. There may be others who want it more. I prescribe an adult beverage (or two) and some time off to think it through.

Price not so bad! Electrified Garage might be able to work a battery installation for you or recommend someone else. That outfit is associated with Rich Benoit of the interesting “Rich Repairs“ YouTube channel. I have no experience with them, but they are big believers in independent shop...

I’ve had my MY 21, bought new, for about 3 years, and it’s time to think about warranty coverage for repairs. I’ve read threads here about the Porsche Protection Plan. It seems you can purchase the protection from any dealer, and prices seem to be individually negotiated with the dealership. So...

The incident makes a good case for front and rear dashcams.
