I already swapped my snow wheel/tire set off for the season, but I'm planning a late season ski trip in which there will be a light snow storm.
The worst snow measure will be about 4 inches (typically less bc the roads will be continually serviced during the times that I will drive).
I'm a...
Next week I'll be driving SF to Palm Springs with family (2 kids)
Currently using app planner and avoiding Bakersfield location has me stopping at these locations.
The first one, I've always stopped at regardless of the type of vehicle I was driving, bc it was a good stop for food and a...
I don't daily drive the Taycan, and only take it out on weekends to drive the family around. Living in SF, CA, Taycans are actually a rare car compared to SoCal and SF Peninsula areas. On my last two extensive drives I noticed an unusually high number of Taycans. It's probably all related...
Recently, my car was at the dealership to replace the in-cabin heater. They also changed the cabin air filter after I DIY'd it and couldn't seal the enclosure (they noted the fan was making a whistling noise).
After taking the car back, I noticed a strong whistling sound for speeds above 30...

Hello, recently I adjusted the programming of the max height of my rear cargo hatch to accommodate a roof box for a trip.
How do rest this back to original height?
For fun, I picked up a Pixel Watch 2 (yes I'm aware v4 is coming out next month, but I couldn't resist picking up a LTE version under $150!). I stumbled across the My Porsche App for Wear OS (google watch OS). I didn't expect much from it as I was very underwhelmed with the limited features of...
After days of research, emails, wrong part orders, and taking the bumper off twice, it's finally finished.
I present, the NG1 Rear Bike Carrier Preparation retrofit on a j1.1. North America GTS Sport Turismo.
I'm able to retain the GTS specific diffuser. I did not install the wiring harness as...

Over the weekend l went camping in Groveland, CA. I packed the ST with the conscience decision to not use the roof box.
Here is the load for 2 adults and 2 kids.
I was able to use all available space and a 2nd vehicle carried the sleeping bags and one duffle bag. Behind the bags in view...
I just noticed that PECLA installed EA units on the grid.
Anyone in the LA area that have been to PECLA notice what DCFC are in the parking lot? As of last year they were still the OG units from 2019. Also, are you able to charge at PECLA without hassle? I noticed a Tesla charging there...
Anyone try this yet? Is this just simply Chargepoint roaming integration to allow you to pay with your My Porsche App? This is not plug and charge across the roaming providers correct...
The recent Ionna and Walmart DCFC infrastructure expansion has been exciting as the providers have decided to use the awesome Alpitronic HYC 400 units. These are the preeminent units used in Europe with consistent high speeds and reliability.
With lesser fanfare BP Pulse just launched their...
There's not a lot of chatter on this forum of people who have ordered or may order a j1.2 GTS ST. I was poking around the US inventory and it appears the first batch of j1.2s are now in the system.
A few notes:
1. Most are scheduled to arrive by June! Everything showing in inventory are...
Alpitronic HYC 400 has high reliability and is used by BP Pulse, Circle K, EnBW, Mercedes, Porsche and Audi charging lounges in Europe and Ionna, and Walmart in the US.
The first units are installed at the Florida Mall in Orlando.
I read on a Taycan brochure that the "luggage compartment cover can be easily stowed behind the rear seat".
I currently have the cover removed and stowed in my garage as I'm not aware there is a way to stow in the car.
Does anyone have a picture of how this works?

The law as interpreted by an orangutan clown! So he's running on an anti-EV platform, talks a big talk and then shows up in an EV. Will be interested to learn the mental gymnastics needed to rationalize this...
Stumbled across this video. It appears Walmart isn't messing around by installing Alpitronic (HYC 200/400), the best in the industry. These units in Texas appear to be months from activation
This unit is used by Audi, Porsche charging lounges, EnBW network in Europe, and Mercedes and Ionna...
