    Any way to deal with delivery after the tariff date?

    That doesn’t even rise to the level of the legal department. Sounds the MSRP will stay the same but be accompanied by an ADM. As opposed to no ADM but an increase in the MSRP.

    Any way to deal with delivery after the tariff date?

    I nominate this for post of the day. And for the week. Maybe even the month!

    Any way to deal with delivery after the tariff date?

    That sure sounds like they absolutely will NOT hold to the agreed-upon sale price.

    Any update to when we will be able to use Tesla network?

    Your dealer is certainly correct that Porsche will eventually place its logo on a J3400>CCS1 manufactured by some third-party company. Yet hopefully not manufactured to Porsche's specs, given the track record with its OEM-labeled EVSE. As for your dealer's prediction on Q2 prediction, we can...

    Any update to when we will be able to use Tesla network?

    Given Porsche's experience with its OEM-labeled EVSE, the only way in which I would rely on Porsche's recommendation for a J3400>CCS1 adapter would along these lines:

    2024 Sports Turismo GTS Lease vs. Finance

    I thought nearly 10% is within the typical range for Porsche leases? As for honoring the $50k discount for a purchase, sounds like the car is already leased, so too late. But that part is almost surely moot, since $7.5k of the $50k discount is from the $7.5k tax credit that PFS eventually...

    2024 Sports Turismo GTS Lease vs. Finance

    Depending your state, might have to pay sales tax.

    2024 Sports Turismo GTS Lease vs. Finance

    How are you planning to refinance something you don’t own? (Unless first you would buy out the lease?)

    GM follows Ford with NACS Tesla charge port adoption -- time to ditch CCS1 (at least the physcial design)

    I’ll move my reply here from another thread: The relatively recently constructed Lynnfield MA station has the typical baseline configuration of a dozen V3 posts, all with Magic Docks. All twelve are nicely aligned with each other except for the one I’m using, which had to jut into the parking...

    I am indeed guilty of some major thread drift, sorry. (Although then, pretty much any long thread at any forum eventually diverges from the original topic…)

    In that case, here's a down Tesla charger: (Note that the massive ICE truck is not the culprit. Rather, this location has a tight parking lot for the various businesses -- some sort of indoor trampoline adventure center seemed to be a popular family attraction on a Sunday afternoon -- so...

    Yes, any remote monitoring will probably miss the vast majority of actual states of inability to charge. Based on my experience there and reading PlugShare reviews, the true uptime probably doesn't even crack 47%. Even if higher than that, no way does it come even close to 97%.

    So that explains it -- the issues below clearly count in neither the numerator nor the denominator for that NEVI 97%:

    Mind-blowing values/depreciation

    Sounds like the lease calculations were intentionally obfuscated by the dealer. The car depreciated by almost that full 18% in the first six seconds of that six-month period, i.e., immediately after it was registered. As for the resale value would be in the future, perhaps the PFS residual...

    I bought a thing. Man, the prices of CPO Taycans are amazing.

    Yes indeed -- the video was both helpful and enjoyable, perfectly done, thanks! And wise move getting the sedan if you don't need to he add'l rear headroom, cargo room, and cargo versatility: the used CT selection is so much smaller, and with higher prices too.

    Mind-blowing values/depreciation

    Of course the sales person said that: his goal is to convince you that the lease payment is an especially good deal, so he'll say the residual is unrealistically high. (If he really had special insights into financial projections like that, then he'd be working for PFS, not trying to sell...

    So I conducted a much better test of the Bradford VT NEVI station this past Tuesday, March 4: 34F = air temperature 105F = battery temperature (that surprised me too) 25% = SoC at session start 177kW = max session speed, almost immediately obtained Ah ha, so this 180kW charger is for real...

    Article - Matt Farah bought a preowned Taycan 4 CT

    I'm not sure about California, but as of July 27 of 2024, EA definitely had no plans to construct any new stations at Walmart stores. That is because EA had no plans to construct any new stations outside of California, unless it could obtain funding from other partners. Yep, that $2b that VW...

    Porsche EV Service Protection Plan agreement (US)- Example contract

    VSP is not the same as an extended warranty. Although it serves a similar purpose. The only extended warranty in the U.S. is via CPO, i.e., an extension of the original contract with PCNA for the factory warranty. Various VSP contracts are between the owner and a third party. The contract...
