    DCFC Bermuda Triangle: Massachusetts I-91 Exit 43 (Greenfield)

    Update on the Mass Pike rest stop upgrade mess: https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/hopes-for-upgrades-to-mass-highway-rest-stops-delayed-at-least-2-years/3869001/ Update on the Station of Mystery: The most recent work ticket had been August of 2024, after which all work ceased, although it...

    [North America] - FAQ: the ultimate guide to the Porsche EVSE PMC+/PMCC/PWCC

    Why do you have it set at 50%? (If I’m understanding the parenthetical aside correctly.)

    Taycan Problem - potential catastrophic tire failure

    Many BMW i4 owners report the same problem. But no option for RWS or adjustable height suspension on the i4. (And we haven’t had that problem on our i4 either.)

    Epic Taycan Tire Tale

    ^ Yipes, sorry to hear about the bent wheels! My 20" is that design that looks really optical but actually is almost entirely solid, with large black sections that trick the eye into thinking it's an open design. If my wife's i4 M50 had gone into that massive hole, with those open 19" wheels...

    TSB: MY2025 - Failure of Surround View Cameras in PCM - July 10, 2025

    Oh yes, will do! Might not be for awhile though, since getting down there isn't all the convenient for me, so might combined it with some other trip. Meanwhile, two new installments in my Epic Taycan Tire Tale: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/epic-taycan-tire-tale.28134/page-2#post-493374

    Epic Taycan Tire Tale

    And the Epic Taycan Tire Tale continues! Along with great irony, since I haven't had any problems with premature wear on the inner shoulders. I drive maybe 1/4 of the time in Lowered, but Low is maybe only 1/8. I keep my tires inflated to 37 front, 39 rear, 20" CC2 (4CT). But it's just been...

    TSB: MY2025 - Failure of Surround View Cameras in PCM - July 10, 2025

    Looks like this is going to be me. Unless it's just a problem with how the body shop hooked the front camera back up after they discovered that a wire needed replacing. If the first visit for the first countermeasure is successful, sounds like that is going to take days, and will require a wait...

    2021 - CPO Taycan 4S - 31,334 - $64K - How is this build - Asked 13 Questions - 9 YES, 3 NO, 1 Maybe, 1 Non answer

    Just do the math and it’s the same as if the question were asked as intended. Plus it doesn’t matter. A knowledgeable seller can game this by driving at a steady ~50 mph for awhile to bump up the GOM.

    "Take over steering" message - anyone else get those without ADAS engaged?

    Same here. And unrelated to ADAS or touching the wheel. Only factor is whether I’ve been moving the wheel.

    NEVI Suspension

    ^ But what about the impressive 97% uptime? (Or is that just standing upright 97% of the time?) Meanwhile, the private sector continues to deliver, yay! When giving someone advice for driving from the Boston area to Jay Peak VT, I had been about to write that St Johnsbury didn't have much --...

    NEVI Suspension

    The NEVI suspension was brief: in August new rules were issued, actually streamlining the process. Given how few NEVI stations have been built since Congressional passage in November 2021, a few months are relatively trivial in the eventually NEVI build-out. And that suspension was only for...

    First Charge at Tesla Supercharger

    So since I was there for the heater, figured I’d have the dealer do the 60k service also. Sure my local Porsche indie would cost less, and I have total faith in him, but if anything more serious needs to be done, I have that extended vehicle service plan with which the dealer claims to have a...

    First Charge at Tesla Supercharger

    That’s probably what everyone at the dealership is thinking given the extensive grime from driving through lots of snowfall recently to ski Mt Washington! Meanwhile, after driving only about five minutes this morning in Yonkers, fell in behind a Taycan Turbo S sedan in a classy shade of forest...

    Rivian provides plug & charge to EA and IONNA charging networks - article

    Thanksgiving dinner did not live up to its potential, as everyone obeyed the No Politics Rule, most notably my Trump-voting in-laws and their Mamdani-voting granddaughter. However, I was asked if I had charged at any Rivian stations? Why yes, I have, both Brattleboro VT and West Lebanon NH...

    Considering 1st EV but...

    Just out of curiosity, do you think it runs off a relatively normal 100a breaker, or would it somehow need more?

    Considering 1st EV but...

    True, but still, quite a big difference between the claimed ~4x faster vs the actual ~2x faster.

    Considering 1st EV but...

    Impressively misleading comparison from that listing: “Enhanced Efficiency: Charges up to 4X faster than a standard 32Amp 7.7kW charger, maximizing your charging efficiency.”

    Epic Taycan Tire Tale

    Not again! Enjoyed some fun skiing along the Mt W Cog railway ski trail Wednesday afternoon, with more snow in the forecast: Awoke to more snow on the ground, more snow in the air, more snow on the radar map ... ... and a Taycan warning message of tire pressure 25 pounds below spec...

    Rivian provides plug & charge to EA and IONNA charging networks - article

    Here is how I parked - I haven’t tested yet whether I can use the intended spot for each charger by backing in:
