    Do NOT crack your panoramic glass!

    I would like to see a third party solution with some kind of a rollaway roof :)

    Texas to California II - The Sequel

    Two one way trips! The GTS range is slightly lower than the base so, we will see.

    Texas to California II - The Sequel

    I made this trip in June of 2021: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/road-trip-report-texas-to-california-round-trip.11386/ This Sunday I’m making it again, this time in a Taycan GTS vs the base original trip. I will also follow it up 1.5 weeks later in a new Tesla Model 3. it will be...

    Do NOT crack your panoramic glass!

    I was also blown away that the repair was 10% of the price I paid for the entire car.

    Do NOT crack your panoramic glass!

    No, if you have PPF on that area I would not worry. Even if it gets some light scratching, hot water usually fixes those on PPF.

    Do NOT crack your panoramic glass!

    Oh no! Good luck, I hope it goes smoother for you than it did for me. They told me the windshield would definitely need replacement aside the roof, the rear window was an extra bonus. I’ve found a few pieces of damage that I didn’t notice on pickup, that you should warn the shop about: -...

    EA - how often is free charging working for you?

    I've never had a complete EA failure, or a need to pay for an EA charge. I have had downperforming EA stations, blocked 350kW units, and congestion causing me to wait for my turn. But so far, never been left high and dry.

    Do NOT crack your panoramic glass!

    If it breaks again I will remove it and have an open-roof vehicle.

    Insurance pushed back on the price.

    Do NOT crack your panoramic glass!

    Whew. Got it back! It actually looks really good. I've got no complaints with the repair. The total bill was $16200, of which insurance covered about 78%. I ended up paying my 2K deductible plus another $1452, which I can live with. The car looks great and I'm very happy to have it back.

    Do NOT crack your panoramic glass!

    Recovering from losing my shit yesterday… Apparently the car is done and I can pick it up tomorrow. Hopefully the end of a painful saga, and I don’t pick up another chip driving to California at the end of the month.

    Do NOT crack your panoramic glass!

    I guess that makes me a tiny bit less angry.

    Do NOT crack your panoramic glass!

    You guys aren't going to believe this... I just heard from insurance, who is sending me an additional payment...because in addition to the top glass and windshield being replaced, removing the top glass somehow broke the back glass too. W.T.F. PORSCHE. Glass breaks. It often needs to be...

    Do NOT crack your panoramic glass!

    IMO it's a very stupid option and I've had it damaged on 2 of 2 cars.

    Do NOT crack your panoramic glass!

    Nope. But my wife got a new Model 3 so I'm driving her old one now, until the repair is done. If it's ever done.

    Do NOT crack your panoramic glass!

    Week five without the car has begun. They assure me the work is started, though.

    Not necessarily, some of them have a side-saddle unit:

    My First Experience with Magic Dock

    I would have shown him the "Charge non-Tesla" section of the app and suggested he take it up with Elon.
