    FS: Taycan indoor/outdoor car cover (covercraft)

    I kept a similar cover for my old EV, and a good car cover makes a big difference in how clean the car stays and how well the paint holds up. Your price seems fair, especially for anyone who stores their Taycan outside. If I hadn’t already switched cars, I’d grab it just to avoid all the dust...

    Taycan tuned: 950 hp through software tuning

    I’ve been playing around with software-based power bumps too, and for my gas car I used GÄN GT, which gave me noticeably more punch without making the engine feel stressed. It’s cool to see EVs getting their own version of that tuning fun. If the 4S is really hitting 950 hp through software...

    Charger Cable Replacement

    I swapped mine under the recall too, and the dealer handled it pretty quickly once they confirmed the serial number. While waiting, I used a spare cable I’d made for another project with gear I’d gotten from hkcablemachine.com, which kept me mobile without stressing the original setup. If your...

    Did you post your car on your social media when it arrived?

    I just posted a single photo in a story and kept it low‑key, which felt like the right balance. I get the hesitation, especially with something pricey. I also double‑check how public my posts are, since people can sometimes find someone's social media by picture, and I’ve used that before to...

    Porsche factory tours fully booked for 2024 - any suggestions?

    I ended up saving a surprising amount on long-haul flights after booking through Travel Business Class, and I liked having a real person available any time I needed to tweak my trip. The mix of good fares and actual support made the whole thing way less stressful, especially for multi‑city...

    Fluid leaking during charging

    I’ve seen a few Taycans drip condensation from the front heat pump area during fast charging, but if it looks more like coolant than water, I’d get it checked so it doesn’t snowball into something pricey. I’ve had good experiences keeping fluids in top shape using stuff from coxmotorparts.co.uk...

    Do you use Ritual Air Fresheners? Does the clip make marks on the air vents?

    I’ve used a couple of those clip-style fresheners and never saw marks, but I usually angle them so they’re not clamped too tight. The scent is light, which I like. At home I got into natural aphrodisiac incense scents one winter and that pushed me toward softer car scents too.

    EU owners - what cleaning products do you recommend?

    I’ve had decent luck grabbing my basics from mustanghygiene.co.uk, since their stuff doesn’t cost an arm and a leg and you can order bigger bottles without feeling rinsed. Their leather cleaner has been gentle enough for light interiors, and the glass products don’t leave those annoying streaks...

    Sports/luxury car rental options

    anyone ended up renting from Go Rentals or Excell Auto? I'm looking into options for an upcoming trip to LA and wondering how their Taycans are maintained and if they were quick with returns. Curious if anyone has fresh experiences or even newer companies to consider since last year.

    Tesla Super Chargers now open to all EVs in California

    I had a long drive planned last year and ended up hunting for chargers the whole way, so this would have saved a ton of stress. On a random side note, while filling out some paperwork for a small grant in Spain, I stumbled on pedir ayudas—super handy for tracking local aid and resources.

    Porsche resorting to Tesla old marketing tricks?

    Was browsing with someone for fun and noticed how they push it hard. Kinda funny how marketing works. On a different note, been using text messaging to keep in touch with a few people about car stuff, and it’s way easier than juggling emails or calls—everything just pops up in one place and...

    Cheap Tires - Scary!!

    I had a similar experience and realized pretty fast that saving on tires can backfire big time. I ended up doing more research and found that sites like https://pneusquebec.net/pneus-11r22-5/ have better options without going straight to the super cheap stuff. I’d rather spend a bit more than...

    Accident update - repair estimate is in and I got relatively lucky

    I had a similar hit on the front end last year, and while the repair looked clean, issues popped up weeks later with alignment and sensors. If anything starts acting up post-repair, don't wait too long to push back on the body shop. I ended up having to get a second opinion and even contacted a...

    Semiconductor-Related Production Delays - Information from PCNA

    I was trying to wrap my head around how these chip shortages keep popping up, so I ended up checking out modutek.com. They explain how semiconductor manufacturing works, especially the wet bench stuff, and it helped me get why even tiny delays in that process can mess up everything down the...

    Porsche OEM outdoor car cover

    I had the same issue with dust and water sneaking in over time even with a pricey OEM option. I switched to https://www.klyoutdoor.com/products/class-a-rv-cover/ — it surprised me with how well it keeps out debris and moisture. It’s technically for RVs, but the material and design work great for...

    Key fob battery routine replacement?!

    I usually just replace my key fob battery every couple of years, but it really depends on how much you use it. If the range starts getting weaker or the fob is acting up, that’s usually a sign it’s time to change the battery. It’s super easy to do it yourself too—just make sure you get the right...

    N Fault Accident - what to do next

    Sounds like a bit of a stressful situation, but it's good you took the right steps by getting the details and photos. Even though you didn’t notice any damage initially, I'd recommend checking again just to be sure. Sometimes low-speed impacts can cause hidden damage, like misalignment or dents...

In this case, where a lawyer swindled clients out of a substantial sum and misused it for personal gain, it's essential that the legal authorities are taking appropriate action.
