I just pulled up my email records now that I'm home. Correction, I received the notification today, not yesterday. It looks like I submitted the APB6 form at 9 PM on 3/19 - so exactly 6 weeks today. Perhaps they're processing the form in batches?

I just got an email yesterday apologizing for the delay as they're running behind. Also let me know that my check is ready and will be going out soon. I forget when I submitted the request - probably about 6 or so weeks ago.

The goal is to get the best possible deal that you can. Just because someone else got 10% doesn't mean that I would be able to do the same because the ability to haggle depends on so many factors like location, the salesperson, the mood of sales manager, time of month, etc. If I'm happy enough...

I think we need to wait and see what the official numbers are. Company direct-lease residuals often don’t directly reflect reality because they want to sell cars. In other words, I’m guessing Porsche will stimulate sales by propping up leases with artificially high residuals likely in-line with...

LOL, good point! :) I'm guessing that $5 bolt had $5,000 in labor to drop that engine.

As you can imagine, I don't like that either. It's not like 2 "wrongs" make a "right". Both things can be bad.

It's a $2k option, so $9k-$2k = $7k labor which still sounds like a bunch of BS. Labor costs are often more than the parts, though. One day, I found the top part of a bolt that snapped off sitting under my 991.2 in my garage. Took it to the dealer and told them - "here's a broken bolt, I have...

So, I'm kinda in the middle of the road. I'm OK-ish with sound on an EV - as long as it's a synthesized sound like the Porsche option. I would have taken it if the car I bought happened to have it on the lot, but I wouldn't buy it if ordering my car so I could have it exactly as I like. I did...

Curious what the product specs say, but you'd think the plastic bubble is just a radome and not the actual radar, itself. Unless it's all one integrated unit (sounds like a dumb design decision for a part that's exposed to road debris), the radome should be replaceable. You'd also think that...

I got tired of waiting on my dealer who's been blowing me off on the matter and won't respond when asked for an update (I waited almost 2 months, it's not like I'm calling them 10 times per week or anything). Ended up sending my info to the email address last night to take care of it myself...

Except the likely reality is that the manufacturer will just deny the warranty. Then you'll have to take them to court and $500,000 and 3 years later you win because they violated the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act. It'll be a David vs Goliath story.

Technically, they could let us assign it to one of the programmable buttons. I always thought that having the extra power tied to launch control was ridiculous. Most people will never launch control - especially on city streets. I'm on my 4th car with launch control and have yet to use it. That...

And that's with the Turbo. The lesser trims lose the flourishes like the rear scoops. From the perspective of the non-hardcore-enthusiasts, the difference for trims less than the Turbo is the front (looks generic now vs Mission E) and the light up Porsche logo in the back (some will think it's...

Bug fixes. Nav software updated - not sure what changed though. I noticed that the weather option is gone from the customizable Home Screen. FYI - Also, make sure you car isn’t in privacy mode. I noticed I was no longer getting traffic, parking, charger info while driving and found that they...

Yes, you'll want to make sure it's on the network. Once it is networked, it might even download a software update (mine did), but that's not the software version that you want. There is another software version that's only available when pushed by Tesla support that resolves the issue. Mine...

I had a Model 3 Performance and it was way faster than the RWD, but the car was kind of cheapy. I test drove the i4 M50 and almost bought it. About as fast as the M3P, but way nicer and better dynamics. Ultimately picked the RWD - it’s slower, but nicer quality and the driving dynamics is better...

That’s the realization that I made on the way home. I’m struggling right now to figure out the right mix of trust and self-control. I tried doing most of the driving with it on but then it seemed pointless to have ALK vs just ACC since I’m doing all the steering. I then tried letting it to the...

Revising my review after playing with ALK more... I'm going to downgrade it from "good" to "ok-ish". Drove 40 miles to my parents place this afternoon and ALK did pretty good. Drove 40 miles back during sunset and it did really bad. To be fair, the sunlight was illuminating the road in a way...

It's still a good car! It could just be more goodier. ;)

I’m not sure if I understand what point you’re trying to make? Are you saying that if I own a GT3 I’ll lose all self control and won’t be able to stop myself from driving it recklessly? I’ve owned 2 911s and mostly behaved myself with them.
