    "New Jersey (US) Introduces Annual EV Fee, Punishing Owners Who Go Green" - Article

    Well that sucks. It all felt a little too easy not having to pay taxes on it... so I'm not surprised they're inventing a way to recooperate the loss.

    Is this what I think it is? Electrical system error

    It's complete garbage. My tech advisor said they ordered parts and then they'll schedule the "flying doctor" who is the only person who can repair the battery for the entire northeast US? That's just not good enough.

    Dreaded Red Electrical System Error & Poll

    Curious what everyone's wait time has been on this. Seems variable but 3-4 months is about average? Maybe need a new poll for it.

    Alarm activating on approach

    I have had this as well! And then one day it stopped doing this and has not happened since. Never knew the cause. I imagine that will happen for you as well.

    Is this what I think it is? Electrical system error

    Happened to me yesterday. Got to work and never got it home... she got towed to the shop. :( Something of note, this was preceded by the "turtle" icon about one month prior. I wonder if that was an early sign that there was going to be a battery problem? That error was gone and the car was...

    This is the best value mod (relative to price!) -- Steering wheel tab color vinyl

    Unless you're a dummy like me and didn't get that steering wheel option. Those color stripes look so good!

    New OTA update today on "Finder - Dynamic content update"

    Reminds me of the good old days when you could simply download more RAM to your PC...

    Facelift - will any efficiency benefits find their way to existing Taycan?

    Would it really require a new computer? I admit it's not my expertise but I feel like the instrument cluster could just display it without needing new hardware.

    Facelift - will any efficiency benefits find their way to existing Taycan?

    If they could update us to Android Automotive OS, that would be great.

    New CarPlay Apps Coming in 2024

    Had no idea, thanks. They're doing a great job of keeping it a secret (or I'm just admittedly out of the loop). I wonder if that is a viable upgrade possibility for current Taycans.

    New CarPlay Apps Coming in 2024

    Android needs to catch up. They're way behind with deeper integration into cars.

    Next Gen Apple CarPlay for Porsche (and Aston Martin) - a First Look

    *cries in Android* They are wokring on their own version of this too, a full car UX/UI, hopefully they'd have that option for us Android users. I'm glad to see Porsche embracing this, it's almost like they know they don't hire a lot of talent on the PCM side of things.

    Poll

    Doubt I'll go ever back to ICE. I'm really interested in the EV Cayman. I prefer two door sports cars. That being said, my family of 4 probably won't enjoy being thrown in the trunk, but it should fit two kids or one wife, right? If it's not feasible, will probably see what the market is like...

    Tesla Cybertruck beats 911 while towing a 911

    This video reminds me of when I was at a red light and a Rivian pulled up next to me. I didn't look at the driver, as I generally don't try to make eye contact with anyone since it either means I want to talk about my car or race (sadly just those two options). Anyway when the light hit green...

    Story of our life (at least in the US)

    People have this odd perception that we only went once in 1969. We made multiple trips after the initial landing. So we in fact have been "back there" but because we haven't gone in 40-something years doesn't mean we can't. In the 1960s, we were funding NASA far more than we are now; it took up...

    Pain in the Glass

    I swear there is something about the windshields in this car. A lot of us here have had to replace. In any car I owned before, I only replaced a windshield once and it was due to a direct impact (nut fell off a tree while driving). A person I spoke to who is knowledgeable about cars proposed...

    2024 Panamera interior revealed

    I like it a lot, perhaps more than ours. Porsche does need to increase their screen size though, would be nice to have more real estate for CarPlay/AA.

    BOSE System Surprised me!

    That's funny; I think I have linear off and surround on. Age factors pretty heavily in here, as high pitch sounds fade as we age, so we all might have different preferences.

    Does anyone ever actually use Sport mode?

    I don't think I get any of those changes because I did not order the SportChrono on mine (hence the poor comment). SportPlus for me only changes suspension and can be used in both Normal and Sport modes. Probably range too but I never use that nonsense.

    Does anyone ever actually use Sport mode?

    Haha, I know about SportPlus suspension mode. But since it only changes the suspension and not the rest of the drive, I don't really consider it a true driving mode. It's also simply not listed in the menu under driving modes!
