Yipes -- hope the surgery went well and that you'll be able to ski more next season!

And after all those attempted fixes yesterday … access has been mysteriously restored this morning, just as mysteriously as it was lost yesterday.

When I scan the QR code, the app shows success, but then the only option on the PCM is cancel. The PCM shows privacy mode but no option to deactivate. I also reset the PCM with two fingers but the problem persisted upon restarting.

Logged me out on a route I’ve driven many times before, including yesterday. And now won’t let me back in:

I think that article was structured the other way around: he starts off with a general overview of the used car market, and approvingly cites his Taycan as one such example, but then the 11 models with more details are all from the new car buyer perspective. So although he included the Macan...

Yes, that would be ... BAD! BTW though, driving down such a road is a hoot in a Taycan, or probably any EV come to think of it. Instead of using engine braking and shifting gears while watching those RPMs, avoiding the brake pedal as much as possible, no worries at all, and I gain ~8% SoC on...

Record early opening to the summit of the Mt Washington NH auto road on April 17, shattering last year's opening on the afternoon of Apr 24 (then all of the following day, Apr 25), which in turn shattered the 2024 opening on May 4, which had also broken the prior record of either 2013 with May...

Agreed! (And especially in contrast to a certain EV car reviewer...) And looked like it had been made fresh on site (not that prepackaged refrigerated version sold in some supermarkets)! Kind of amusing how in the prior video he praises the public charging infrastructure as being so well...

Wow, that’s weird - I hadn’t noticed that! AI was so impressive in removing the trees and trying to imagine the snowpack and topography behind them, yet also added a nonsensical “VF” in between two words and also degraded the rest of the text quality in the sign.

Yesterday I charged (at a whopping ~5.X kW!) at the Appalachian Mountain Club's Pinkham Notch Visitor Center complex while on a short ski mountaineering outing Mt Washington in New Hampshire. I was thinking that the view would have been spectacular but for the pesky trees in the way. Then I...

Yes, looks just like my own Tesla unit at home. Pay via the Tesla app just like a MagicDock:

The nine units are on the edge of a vast parking lot, which is full (or nearly so) only when it’s used for shuttle parking during the Killington World Cup races over Thanksgiving weekend. Otherwise, Pico has been the forgotten stepchild ever since it was bought by Killington, with each...

Pico ski resort in Vermont yesterday. (Closed for the season, but still great skiing via skinning.) Tesla Universal Wall Chargers, payment via the app. Instructions to park diagonally, but … in which direction? And why? I was the only car charging, but I wonder how it works during the...

I’ve had great results from them matching a single tire after a pothole blowout. Also a great resource for getting some totally random tire for setting up an emergency full spare.

Yes, despite the Audi badge, it's just a slightly nicer ID.4, which is rather undistinguished. I didn't say anything to my brother-in-law(-in-law) about it, but I was really surprised he recently bought a Q4, instead of, say, a used Ioniq 5. When my NEVI brother-in-law bought his Q4 new, at...

I should have clarified: He acknowledges that his company's NEVI station doesn't work. He shrugs off suggestions that his company should so something about it (after receiving, let's see here, $631,622 in NEVI funding). Probably not worth bothering to make it work now, given that wandering into...

So on Saturday afternoon, my wife's brother, the CFO of the company with the failed NEVI station (the only NEVI station in all of VT, NH, MA, and CT), was driving down from Vermont to Western Mass to the house of my wife's sister for the "second" night Seder. (Yes, the actual second night of...

Ah, now I remember -- available in the Taycan staggered 21" but not 20". (Some of these staggered setups seem like a conspiracy to induce madness via tire model available! Our i4 is the same way...)

Woah, that is one interesting tire etailer -- when I entered a 20" Taycan setup, all sorts of brands appeared that I've never head of previously, e.g., Atturo, Cosmo. Same on searching for our i4, e.g., Zeetex, Evoluxx, Arroyu. Also, unless I'm overlooking something, the website seems to lack...

In the U.S., the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 prohibits a warranty denial based upon that. (A tire with the wrong size, load index, speed rating, etc. -- sure. But Porsche can't deny a warranty claim just b/c the tire doesn't receive its equivalent of the Good Housekeeping Seal.)
