    Walmart Jumps Ahead With Massive Charging Station Installation Roll-Out

    I've been to a few WalMarts where they have their own units vs the Electrify America ones. Very functional and high speed.

    Diminished value help

    If you have already filed a collision claim with your insurance company, give them the information on the other person's insurance. They will subrogate to recover what they spent. If you have not filed with your carrier, contact the other person's company directly. At this point, gather as...

    My first Porsche has ruined other cars for me, and cured my range anxiety

    Well said. My biggest anxiety with my 2021 is how do I keep it after it hits 8 years and is out of warranty, without breaking the bank on a repair. I've owned lots of cars, but this is one of the few I don't think I'll be ready to turn over.

    New US EV Charging Station Openings - DCFC Tracker

    Nice site. Now we need their app so CarPlay can pick it up.

    SIAP Motortrend Review of 2027 Taycan: Fake Gears, Faster Software, and a Factory-Built Manthey Monster

    Credibility takes a hit when, in the opening paragraphs, the author proclaims that 700km equals 599 miles.

    2026 Taycan 4S CT order status mystery

    Unusual these days. My original 2023 4S was held at the port in Emden for 4 months over "heatergate."

    How did I do with this buy? 2025 Cross Turismo Turbo S

    Seems like a minor impact if all they had to do was R&R the doors. Not much more $ than a Porsche dealer would charge for a minor repair.

    How do I make this car prettier? What would you do?

    Satin XPEL Or another PPF if white doesn’t do it for you.

    Pano Roof - add ceramic tint?

    I ordered a similar one from eBay 3 years ago for under $90. Fit is good and I leave it on permanently.

    "Porsche ranks number one in J.D. Power 2026 U.S. Initial Quality Study" - articles

    Would be interesting to see Porsche score broken out between IC and EV.

    Porsche Ordered to Buy Back Taycan That Charged at 9.6 kW, Not 11 kW

    Same situation using an Emporia 48 Amp charger. OTA applied, but I still pull 10.8-11.0 kW. Perhaps is is just linked to the Porsche charger?

    Selling Taycan with built-in radar detector... That's broken

    I had a K40 installed in a Lexus a few years back and understand what you're saying about the LEDs. They are extremely subtle. My two cents - leave it in and disconnect it from power under the dash to keep the LEDs from lighting. The K40 typically has a jumper with a fuse connector or a plug...

    The Macan EV is not as bad as I thought

    Like @sergyindy, I have a GTS on order. We compared the turbo to our 2019 Cayenne S side-by-side at a dealership and found it was nearly identical in size. Price and increased size ruled out the new Cayenne EV. The GTS will replace the old Cayenne and be our daily “utility” vehicle alongside...

    Radar Detector Recommendations

    I've had very good luck with Escort Redline 360. My daughter has a portable unit that worked well for me when I used it from Colorado to AZ last year (picking up a 911 in C Springs). If you're a "spirited" driver and plan on keeping your Defender a while, consider the Redline 360 ci. This is...

    found my perfect CPO except for being white instead of carrara white metallic - deal killer or no biggie?

    White is a good base for a wrap. We didn’t like any of the stock colors on our Carrera so order it in white. 3M PPF. No regrets.

    Taycan Order Tracking Guide (V Codes / Status Explained)

    just ordered a new Macan EV GTS. I have to admit the upgrade to the MyPorsche app has improved the tracking gymnastics we all went through. Let’s see how this plays out.

    Range Drop

    "Taycan does very well at highway speeds compared to other EV, but range at highway speeds is lower than city drives...." Ditto my experience. Max range with single digits left driving my 2021 Turbo at highway speeds (75-80 mph) is 200 miles and lower if temps are cold.

    US DC Charging: Circle K/Ionna & Walmart - articles

    I’ve used the Walmart “native” chargers a couple of times. Very smooth experience.

    Back glass crack

    When my rear window on the sedan was replaced, I had them run the new piece over to my tinting shop to have the tint put on before installing. Saved a lot of angst.
