    "Airbag System Fault"

    Well, got a yellow message that my airbag system has a problem, and I should contact the dealer for it, while driving earlier yesterday. Any experience with that? Potential airbag problems always make me queasy, nobody likes a sudden airbag in the face. Though I guess it's probably rather the...

    Two minor InnoDrive/ACC/ALK observations

    Noticed this on my drive home yesterday, because it was non-typically stop and go. First, let me preface that I turned off the setting where InnoDrive automatically honors the speed limit, because it sometimes engaged speed limits that weren't even for me. (I'm not a truck!) However, as you...

    Do you drive around with your PMCC?

    Since we all know the issues with the North American PMCC, I pretty much ignored mine and bought a different EVSE instead (Emporia Energy, pretty happy with it). Instead, I just put the PMCC in the frunk and drive around with it, "just in case". It now occurred to me that this is taking up a...

    Suncoast Screen Protector Set

    I bought the following (pricey!) screen protector set, and figured I would write a short review: https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/spftay.html I bought the set mostly because the stock screen surface shows fingerprints like crazy (especially the lower screen), but also because I'm a bit...

    Retrofit Compass?

    I love the Sports Chrono package, but realistically I'm not using the "additional instrument" on the dash as Chrono at all. So effectively, it's not even an analog clock, but a digital clock with an analog second hand, and I see at least two more digital clocks in the car already. A compass on...

    Sure way to know whether your heater works?

    Being in the Bay Area with a garaged car, the heater is not really something I had to use yet. If anything, I've had to cool using the A/C, or merely resort to seat heating. But the other day, at the end of the commute, I thought I'd try it out, with all the heater failures you hear about. The...

    Disable Rear Axle Steering?

    I love the rear axle steering. In all situations except for backing up into my very tight garage. I need to come at it at an angle, and then “push” the car straight very late. However, with the rear axle steering, the car wants to follow a tight circle instead. Is there any way to temporarily...

    Car seat base pushing into bolsters?

    There's been some car seat discussion, but apparently not for this specifically: We have a currently rear facing Graco car seat installed in the back. However, the car came with the 18w seats and without the 4+1 option, meaning that the rear seats are sport seats with bolsters as well. The...

    Tire pressure after buying

    So, safe to say that the dealer put in too much air and I should let some out, or do they know something that the app/car doesn’t? 21” Mission E wheels.

    Removing Model Badge

    I'm thinking about removing the model badge on the back of my Taycan. According to YouTube videos, a heat gun and something like dental floss are the way to go. Did anyone successfully do that, or another way?

    2020 Taycans still a good buy?

    Hello, Assuming I ever actually find a used Taycan with the options I want that is less than 400 miles away (the Burmester is making that difficult), I imagine it could be a 2020 model instead of a later one. Is there any reason not to consider a 2020 Taycan? I know that you won't get plug and...

    Is the Taycan quieter than the Boxster, for road noise especially?

    I've had my Boxster 981S for many years, and while it's still a joy to drive in the city and almost everywhere else, making it my commuter car (after not wanting to deal with a separate car during the pandemic anymore) is kind of killing it for me. During my long freeway commute, it's just loud...
