Heater replaced December 2024, yet experienced intermittent AC flow issues later (it was summer). Harness issue corrected by the high-tech, "chafe tape."

When I return my lease in six months I fully intend to take out the interest rate and depreciation on the dealer through residual value. PAG's residual is 30-40% higher than market value for a 2023 with 15K miles. The dealer can sell me the car or let it sit on the forecourt (Brits!) with the...

"Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." - Twain In 2024, Porsche AG sold 16K autos in California, 10% of those were Taycans. (cncda.org)

The answer is I did not ask, just made a mental note that I need to clean the drain a few times a year. At least check it. I assume this is the body pan drain beneath the battery case (and other things.) The car went in for APB2 last July, the pressure test on the HVB and it "passed." The SA...

This probably falls into the category of marketing, but given the tendency to criticize Porsche Center dealerships, I thought this was a nice touch. The tech did a walkaround under the beast and explained his inspection. 90 seconds. https://c.xtime.com/stTINzs28QkA2MIwXX#/

I've been running P-cars for 25 years in Florida, NJ, NY, and California. I have never had a front plate (to ruin the front end design) and never been tagged or cited. Agree with @DerekS please fine me. The odds seem to be in my favor. (If I get a ticket today I'll let everyone know.)

Absolutely. In CA, utilities are now in a mad dash to upgrade transmission systems after several years of neglect costing them billions in wildfire claims. I typically avoid the "Neighborhood" sites that are chock full of whining about life at the best time in history by every metric, but when...

Agree Jonathan, California is a special case and EA is better at PR than performance.

California supply right now. The green line is renewables into the grid. Red, natural gas; purple (negative) batteries. For much of the day the demand is satisfied by renewables. The demand as of this hour is 29MW. Is disaggregation to individual sites worth it?

Here is Light Strip "PORSCHE" Logo in Black per my build sheet:

Thank you for getting me up to speed, I was out enjoying my Tie-con.

Has the inevitable "I'm taking a bath in depreciation on this car so it sucks" arisen in this thread yet or have I not been paying attention?

Hurtz was a tenant in a building I ran when it purchased these Teslas. It never planned for the infra (surprise!) required to cycle these cars through at full charge to renters. It offered to install "free" Tesla chargers in our parking garage near its rental office with many limitations in...

I typically only need to enable "Direct Charging" on the center display, plug the car in, and once it authenticates, charging begins. Having said this, last week I tried 2 EA chargers that have worked in the past and the charger asked for a credit card. This is at a bank of 4 units, one of which...

In the US, the RWD base is $91K and the GTS starts at $139K. A $48K difference. If, as stated here, the GTS has $20K in extras not found on the RWD, that would make the car worth about $111K. Zuffenhausen margins on that "motor sound" of course, and more power to Porsche. My skinny-optioned...

@violuma stresses the importance of customization for the individual. @Ross I found the base RWD underwhelming and spent what I could to make the car my own and not regret "missing" an option I'd want after some real world experience (Smart Lift is a winner, IMHO.) I did look at the Corolla for...

I took delivery of a lightly-optioned RWD in July '23, about $30K in extras. I was trying to keep the weight down so opted for handling performance over speed and driver comfort. It is a blast to drive, and similar to @freeforall the 60-100 mph acceleration is such that I can't take my eyes off...

I have used automotivetouchup.com with good result. As stated earlier, the application is what counts.

I was just about to blame AWS!
