OK - Confession - I'm a die-hard cyclist whose current primary cardio workout involves pushing my Trek Checkpoint SLR hard just about every day ..... BUT ..... I also appreciate my wife is older than me and we don't necessarily need to be in training mode whenever we decide to explore on two...
Well driving home from a restaurant this evening we passed this thing which unfortunately I could not get better pics of as driving and this one grabbed for a few seconds whilst waiting on a light change - but unregistered and from the rear 100% the Tesla EV Truck - I'm probably way behind but...
Purchased spacers from @lcarron and finally got to install today - 15mm rear and 10mm front - zero difference in car behaviour - def an improvement in stance and looks imo - thx Laurent!
Before pics and pre-wash!

I have the Porsche Cooler Bag that uses a cig lighter/12v plug which can be inserted into the CT's rear hatch plug. I noticed that when initially plugged in whilst the car is 'on' and then if I exit the car and lock it, return ca 5 mins later, it is still running - which is great (although TBH...
OK - full disclosure - NOT a Porsche topic but parked beside one! :)
We replaced my wife's 20 yr old (yes you read that correctly) Mini Cooper S with a new ICE one as ongoing trade disputes will delay the next gen Mini EV getting to the US for a couple of years or more.
Just like the ugly...
Have used various products in the past including gummi pflege etc but recently read about Krytox and seems to be a default for many dealerships for general lube but with excellent sound deadening properties etc.
Anyone here used this stuff and if so is this (link below) the correct product from...
Now you just need to figure a way to tow your brand new toy behind that Cross-Turismo :)
Porsche's New All-Electric Speedboat Uses the Same Tech as Its Upcoming EV

My first State Inspection is up this Dec and was curious as to where you (if applicable) brought your car to be inspected. It should of course ONLY require the Safety Inspection i.e. obviously not an emissions vehicle so technically it should cast about $7 as the other $18 for ICE cars is for...
Summary
1) PCM 'Guessometer' or 'GoM' Ranges using current SoC are the most optimistic and are calculations (predictions) biased towards the most efficient ride pattern recorded from a subset of your most recent trips.
2) Range derived from consumption data from your cars total trip history...
Just returned from my dealership to have the LHS charge port and associated wiring harness replaced and whilst chatting with my SA he mentioned he had just returned from a Porsche training camp where in the EV section they were informed of a new option coming for new Taycan builds but most...
I thought I'd post what the 'innards' of the ChargePoint app look like for those interested and/or current users who have not perhaps explored it much. Nicely laid out app that because of agreements made back in 2019, allows you to freely 'roam' other networks like EVGo ad EV Connect without...
I had read quite a few posts from folk pining for soft close for the Taycan doors on the Forum over the last year plus - came across this by accident and in no way can answer any queries as to how good or bad this company or their products are etc. but at first glance they seem legit and have...
Came across this article by accident when searching for something else but albeit a tad verbose, it covers most of the questions newbies and veterans might ask re charging our Taycan's quite comprehensively - written by a couple of TX enthusiasts and posted of all places on a Scuba Diving site...

I have a thread (above) dedicated to tracking SoH (State of Health) of Forum member Taycan's (with some external additions) - we currently have data from 50 cars and 73 readings of SoH...
Not a new thread theme but thought that after driving this car for 1.5 years I'd share my most useful day-to-day screen layouts - including Diamond button assignations. My car does have HUD and the Passenger Screen which influence my layout. I also have a separate HomeLink solution so...
I had minor custom PPF work done on my car whilst away on vacation last few weeks which was done immediately after a fairly big service visit to repair an internal (center console) fan and a LHS charge door actuator but also involved a full PCM software install to deal with screens blanking out...
Whilst wandering the back streets of Baden-Baden last week I came across some Porsche and other car art and apparently the 'dude' that posed for Porsche's Turtle Mode :)!
