Granted I'm only a few months in, but I don't even have problems to make excuses for. For being a pretty big IT nerd, I just want my car to drive, and that's what it does without any issues so far. I needed my own EVSE because I wanted to be able to charge two cars from the same 50A outlet, my...
Having experienced ACC for the first time in stop and go traffic a few weeks ago, I could not imagine a car without it. I didn't need to do a thing other than keep my car in the lane. I'd almost call it relaxing.
Another option worth thinking of would be the rear 2+1 seats, as it also gives...
That's interesting and encouraging for sure. Once the Macan EV drops, I wouldn't be surprised to see it in the 30-40% range. Porsche has to be salivating at the thought of electrifying the lineup, and as long as they can get the software and service figured out, it might be a really easy...
This is a weird example to make though, because now you're relying on the intelligence of others to know if the other person's car locks the charger or not. Too many people in the world are simply idiots incapable of understanding how to tell, and setting the example for them that it's okay to...
Just let idle fees take care of it if need be. I have no idea who's car it is, and what their situation is. Maybe they just recently got fired, didn't notice a scratch on their car that happened a few weeks earlier, and then they accuse me of scratching it because I unplugged it. Heck, maybe...
His channel is absolutely filled with gorgeous/unique cars, and he tries to teach a lot of his tips on restoring and maintaining them. Everything from doing quick clean ups on 20 year old barn finds to showroom polishes on some of the nicest cars in the world.
He's also a Taycan owner too, and...
Assuming you've got a decent relationship with the dealer, I might try contacting them first for a couple reasons. First, since the damage is pretty minimal, I wouldn't be surprised if that were the sort of thing that they'd just do for free since the car is so new, and the second reason is...
Oh absolutely on the GPS/Music/Display points, though I do think everything other than Pulse Ox monitoring is included in that 12 days estimate. I don't have first hand experience with it, just something that I've taken a look at every year or so to see how things look, and these are the first...
I'm not so sure about that. Garmin has some pretty compelling options:
Probably the more direct comparison from their luxury line, with 12 days of battery life:

Less luxury focused, but 22 days of charge with solar...
Not to take EA's side here, but they only had 4 networks surveyed, and honestly EA didn't do that bad, with Tesla at the top only 20% ahead of EA (dropping the chart here even though I absolutely hate when articles adjust the scale to make the gaps seem larger)
Still a ways to go on improving...
Exactly, even before I had a Porsche, I thought about what parts of town I was going out to at night and how to take basic steps to avoid potential risks. It's not because I have some deep fear of being a crime victim, but because avoiding particularly unsafe areas isn't that difficult.
That...
I mean, I don't feel 'safe' at most gas stations after 9pm either. Google "gas station crime <Your city>" and I bet you get a dozen or so articles and that the vast majority of them are about events happening late at night. We'll see if EV Charging eventually does anything to impact that over...
And in case there was any doubt, yes, that is in fact my car. Must've been on my road trip a week or two ago, was that the charger in South Bend? I don't remember seeing any other Taycans on my trip, so you must've been quick in and out there while we were inside.
That does really highlight...
Yep, that's really the core of it for me as well. You either spend the time yourself to find the right buyer and might be able to add a significant amount to the resale price, or you dump it on the dealer to do so, and effectively pay them for their time to do so.
Honestly, the thought of...
Man, something about putting a deposit you know for a fact will be driven by a bunch of different drivers just feels wrong to me. Will you have any price negotiation if the car is damaged? I'm a fairly particular guy about things though, so maybe you can save a good bit of money by not being...
Yeah, I occasionally see turtle mode icon when fast charging as I start getting over 125F/50C, and it recovers well before I'm ready to go anywhere. I wouldn't start to worry until you start getting closer to 40C.
As the resident crazy who ordered Acid Green PTS, I fully expect it to cause my car to lose value when selling, and I'm 100% okay with that because I got the color I wanted. If I want to spend the time finding the perfect buyer, I can probably get more for it, but I'd also be the one putting in...
I've used 16 different EA locations for DCFC since getting my '22 GTS ST (which came from the factory with the update), and plug and charge has worked on every single one.
