In my experience, now and again people are better proofreaders in languages they have learned later in life, precisely because native speakers subconsciously gloss over words (including mistakes). Especially given what I hear as the tone of later responses, here is what I think may have...

Who are you and what have you done with our resident spreadsheet factory?

I think I have told the story here of running a diesel out of fuel in the middle of nowhere off I-40 in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and having to wake Zeke up to bleed the fuel lines. To be more specific, that was a 1984 Buick Century diesel station wagon. You had to go whisper to it in...

I'd be surprised if the dealer actually did the work. At that point, it comes down to whether you want to trust the dealer to choose the installer or if you'd rather trust yourself to choose the installer.

Yes, but not by as much as I thought. Little over a foot longer, few inches wider, few inches taller.

Aside from cost, they are reported to have a (relatively small in the grand scheme of things) negative impact on range. Also more susceptible to damage from rough roadways.

You might want to get comfortable and grab some snacks, because it's going to go on for a while, but I think you'll find some stuff of interest to you in this behemoth: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/new-4s-low-range%E2%80%A6.16941/

By "next generation", are you saying you think that you got a "battery from the future" that is different from the ones that are going into production vehicles currently on the line? That would seem unlikely to me.

...and now I have a Dalek in my head shrieking "EXTRAPOLATE EXTRAPOLATE EXTRAPOLATE".

Your comment here is the first I have heard of a stop sale applying to MY24s. The official APB2 recall notice is here: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V615-2712.PDF. It only mentions MY23. EDIT: Just noticed your maple leaf flag, not sure if it matters.

Because they're still on double-secret probation from the time that they ran that organized cheating ring on AP Hydrocarbons and really don't want to do anything to draw unwanted attention to themselves at their new school.

Disclaimer: IANAL, this is not legal advice. If you have executed a purchase agreement, I think you might have a shot. Whether you want to go down this road or not obviously depends on political concerns as well, because it might put you in a (more) adversarial position WRT the dealer. MN's...

I'm giving other information. Specifically, I'm saying I'm more interested in the conditional probability of "car getting stolen" in case A: Taycan versus case B: Corolla. I am thoroughly uninterested in the probability of other people's cars being stolen in this discussion, because I am being...

That's one reasonable denominator, but not the way I would look at it if I were the rightful owner. I'd want to know whether my Camry is more likely to be stolen than my Taycan. And for that calculation, the desirability of the model to the thieves is all that matters. The Taycan also seems...

That while purchasing a Camry or Corolla will likely reduce the downtime when you need a part to repair it, it will also increase the probability somewhat that your car will be stolen and broken down to provide parts for others.

My understanding is that parts availability is also high on the list of people who steal cars, for whatever that's worth.

I would consider this more of an argument against using the dealer to do the install than against PPF in general. Furthermore, if you've bothered to do PPF and want an easier washing experience, wouldn't it make sense to add a ceramic on top?

@summerlion, your profile does not say which state you live in, and it might be relevant. California, for example, forbids nonrefundable deposits. At any point before you have actually entered into a purchase agreement and taken delivery of the vehicle, if you cancel your order, it would be...

While I am indeed dyslexic, I don't think I can reasonably blame that for confusing the front and back of the car. Thank you.
