    DIY Wheel Changes | Tool Recommendations?

    Yes. You're only lifting, at most, half of the Taycan's 2 1/2 ton weight to change a single wheel so you are well within the capacity of a 2 ton jack. If you're not using jack stands do observe the usual safety caveats about not getting yourself under the car, setting the parking brake, etc...

    Home Charging Percentages

    My understanding is that allowing a lithium battery to sit at either too high or too low a charge can adversely affect battery life. I don't know whether 20% is considered too low but what is more important to me is functionality. What if you need to use the car on the spur of the moment to go...

    Daily Driver Brakes

    You won't regret it. A year from now the extra money you spent will be forgotten but you'll still smile every time you look at your car and those big, beautiful rotors and calipers.

    "There's only one customer for electric vehicles" - Article link

    Opinions are like you-know-whats, everybody's got one. I put no more stock in the overly negative opinion from the author of that piece than anyone else. Unsurprising to me that it surfaced in the Washington Examiner. Just MY opinion.

    To RWD or 4s? That is the question...

    I haven't driven a RWD model so I can't weigh in on the performance differences to the 4S. I will say, though, that you should give priority to which model you prefer, not which one will save you money, assuming you can afford either one without difficulty. Almost every time I've bypassed some...

    One more question: what do you use your FRUNK for?

    Unless you have published written documentation or an audio recording of that event in 1968 you obviously must be making it up. ;)

    One more question: what do you use your FRUNK for?

    I honestly don't see the point of proving that one way or another. It's not going to change how I, or anyone else, is going to use the word. FWIW, I spent 30 seconds and found this from Merriam Webster: 'Frunks' Are Not New Anyone who was around during the heyday of the old-style Volkswagen...

    One more question: what do you use your FRUNK for?

    I don't want you to go away, I'm kind of enjoying the give and take. I just don't understand what it is you want to find evidence for: 1. That the word frunk hasn't been used for years by Porsche owners? That's obviously false as many here will attest. 2. That Porsche and some others don't...

    One more question: what do you use your FRUNK for?

    I really think you should find a different hill to die on.

    One more question: what do you use your FRUNK for?

    Regarding Elon, you did say the word frunk wasn't used until he came around so there's at least the implication that he had something to do with it. Anyway, it's not a big deal one way or the other. Although there may not be documented recognition of the word frunk it is something that has been...

    One more question: what do you use your FRUNK for?

    Everyone knows ;) a trunk is in the rear of the car and has been since the days when trunks were literally "trunks" that were external to the bodywork. But obviously the original air-cooled Porsches had a "front trunk", hence frunk. Completely logical. Elon Musk and god had absolutely nothing to...

    I'd Appreciate POV's On Rear Axle Steering

    I ordered the Performance Package and RWS was included but I would have ordered it separately if that had been necessary. I think it adds quite a bit to both the overall driving dynamics of the car as well as low speed maneuverability. BTW, along with RWS are you considering any other...

    Keeping car locked while high pressure washing?

    Using public washing stations does add another variable. I always wash at home, so I just leave my key in the garage. I think the issue here is that the fob has to be on your person, or not if you are washing the car. That's why a pedestrian touching the car with you in it won't activate the...

    Keeping car locked while high pressure washing?

    It's unlikely that the issue is "pressure washing" per se. I never pressure wash (I use a water de-ionizing system for spot free washes) however all of my vehicles have keyless entry and if I have the key in my pocket the stream of water will trigger the touch sensitive locking and unlocking. I...

    "Lag" on acceleration

    Agree. It's one of the reasons I always drove my PDK equipped GT3 in manual mode; much more likely to either be in the right gear in the first place or just be a flick of the paddle and an almost instantaneous downshift away from the right gear. Either way it was faster than anyone could...

    Tire and Wheel protection from Porsche?

    Sorry for the delay. Just saw your post. I have the Porsche Premier Tire and Wheel Protection Plan. It covers the replacement of wheels and tires that have suffered structural damage and meet Porsche specification, including aftermarket wheels, but not carbon fiber or magnesium. It also covers...
