As we all know, the universe has a way of balancing itself. I was on the last leg of a 2,500 road trip from Denver to Houston and back when the car decided to throw electrical system/12v battery faults in the middle of my charging session in Colby, KS. I was able to move the car out of the...
I test drove the Hummer EV truck this weekend and was a little amazed on how the truck handles and its tech. Is it wrong to say I want one? It is like driving a dump truck that goes 0-60 in a little over 3 seconds. The car is a behemoth that gives a pretty commanding view of the road.

I set a new personal record yesterday in single day long distance driving in my Taycan - I did a Phoenix to Denver run in 15 hours and covered 855 miles, or 1368km. I left my hotel in the Kierland area of north Scottsdale at 5:40am and I drove to my house in central Denver, arriving at 9pm...
I recently shared that I hit a piece of metal sticking straight up in the air as it was wedged in a gap between a bridge and the roadway, and wanted to provide a quick update now that I have received the estimate back from my local Porsche dealership. I have to admit I got super lucky since...
I had so much fun reading the recent Youtube Kyle thread that I thought I would throw more wood on the proverbial fire of a sensitive subject on this board - that is Electrify America. Plus, we have not had a good charging network conversation/arguement/screaming matching in like a month, so I...
I thought some of you might interested in this article.

Also, there is a link in the article to individual state plan rollouts in the future.
I am just sharing an article. Not...
Thought some on the board would be interested in this.

I know there was footage of the vehicle earlier. Looks like @Dave EV will have a new track car for the future!
Not taking credit for having spotted this, but saw this posted on the F-150 Lighting site.

I drove my '22 CT4S with 20 inch wheels and the new WNK1 update from Denver to Lawrence, KS this past weekend. I loaded two bikes that weighed 60lbs max on the back of the car in @bsclywilly's awesome bike rack he made for CT owners. The weather was in the mid-80's, I did not have climate...
In the past if the car noticed an object behind me it would beep at me and show it in the reverse camera. I had the WNK1 update done to the car a couple of weeks ago and some setting has been activated that abruptly activates the brakes if it notices something behind me while in reverse. It...
Have to give a shout out to Will and his custom bike carriers he made for Cross Turismo owners. I took my first extended road trip today with my bike in the carrier and it out worked great. As expected, there was an efficiency hit, but I comfortably drove from Denver to Idaho Falls today...
I will be traded in my '21 4s on Friday for a '22 CT4s, so no longer need my roof rack. It served me well, and it got lots of weird looks with I loaded a bike electric mt bike or electric road bike on top of it.
They are almost $500 new at Suncoast, so if anyone wants to buy it for $350 please...
I realize this is not as interesting as driving a Taycan through Norway in February to the Arctic Circle, but I was able to secure a spur of the moment build allocation a couple of weeks ago. The freeze date is next week, so I wanted to solicit a little feedback from the group...
I wanted to survey CT owners to see if anyone has an order in for the rear mounted bike carrier and if they have an estimated arrival time? I know there is one CT owner on the board who has one already, but I am pretty sure they are super rare still.
Anyone order recently and get told when it...
I have taken this week off from work, and also saw that the new Rivian service center is now open in Denver. I decided to take a little field trip to check out the R1T since I have one on order, and had yet to see one in person. I took a couple of pictures in case anyone is interested. I...
I replaced my rear clear logo middle light strip on my '21 4s with the black one. There are left and right lights, and the larger middle light with PORSCHE in clear. I saved the original boxes, so can ship as well packed as they arrived from Germany.
The new black middle light stip cost...
I wanted to survey to board to see if there are any others with the Pirelli Cinturato P7 Blue tires installed on your Taycan? I just swapped out my '20 4s which had 20" Conti tires installed to a '21 Taycan with the 20" Pirelli's. While my old Conti's were all season, and these Pirelli's are...
I was curious if anyone has purchased these Porsche wheels for their Taycan? I have the st20" Turbo Aero wheels on my 4s currently, but was wanting to find something a little more unique. While I am intrigued with the Taycan Exclusive Design set, I am not sure if I want to spend nearly $10k...
My Sirius XM is working post update, but I seem to have lost the feature where the song used to start at the beginning when I change the station. Also, the list stations does not show what songs are playing like it did pre-update. I have the feature enabled in the Sirius XM settings, but it...
While this board sometimes tends to get caught up in the negative, I wanted to share a very positive Electrify America charging experience I had yesterday in Trinidad, Colorado. This site has been notoriously slow in the past, but yesterday the location made up for it!
I pulled in with 8%...
