Major Taycan accomplishment thanks to this forum 🛒

[BMonte13]

So on my way home from work yesterday my wife texted me and asked if I could buy a couple Costco pizzas for a school event. Now normally I would NEVER EVER take my car to Costco but thanks to this forum and my previous post about being overly cautious with my Taycan I did it. I wasn’t even too paranoid or worried during the 14 minutes and 47 seconds that I left my car in the Costco parking lot. I think next maybe I’ll allow eating in my car. An apple or something. Maybe.

14 minutes and 47 seconds

I love it when people are specific.
No, I didn't say paranoid, I said specific.

There is a groundbreaking new book that has just come out.. I think it may be of interest?

I don't know looks pretty dicy - and the $5 Costco roasted chicken's sometimes spill fluid on the way home - best to have them quadruple bagged - also that TRD pick up truck looks a bit close

I'd recommend more caution and perhaps - best just to leave it in the garage to avoid any risk.

you're being reckless and it won't go well for you - and beside the Taycan drives like sh*t - probably better to take your beater Model 3 to Costco - leaving the Taycan pristine and unsullied.

I simply do not understand people wanting to drive their EV's - makes no sense.

I have zero fear of taking my nice cars to Costco - even the DeLorean. I have a specific spot at my local store that protects my vehicles.

Next thing you know you'll be hauling Petunia, the truffle pig, home with you in the passenger seat (buckled up of course so that she is safe and can enjoy the passenger display) following a successful day of rooting out truffles from the dark, moist soil in the oak groves.

Works best with Truffle leather.

Is that in the future or past present??

I have a no eating in any of my cars policy outside of 2+ hour trips each way. Even then I would just stop and eat at a sit down place.

Aside from a lovely family moment, this post gives me anxiety.

I personally find that the riskiest time on the road is during the first week or so of owning a new car before you become accustomed to it.

Eating while driving is far scarier to me than just eating in the car generally.

I hate it when anyone wants to eat in my car. I only eat in rental cars.

My daughter once damaged two of our three cars in one week (well, neither was serious and one was not her fault -- but the other was her driving my Tesla X into the front of the garage when she was in D instead of R), so seeing a child driving your car so soon is anxiety inducing.

Add it all together and holy crap man!

Sorry for the anxiety - not my intention. Was merely trying to show that everyone is different.

Eating - I don't go out of my way to eat in my Taycan (Audi or Alfa - Defender I don't care), but also, I'm comfortable enough to clean it well. I've had many exec cars and never felt I lost $1 in value due to an inability to clean it

Daughter driving - she looks young, but has 10 years experience. Her first car was a BMW 328i and she has driven my pervious AMG, Maserati, etc, etc. She is an accomplished track pilot and motorcycle rider with great skills (better reaction time than me).

Not judging anyone else for doing different, just flagging the other side of the coin.

I let my dog drive anytime I’m eating in the car. Not safe to eat and drive at the same time.

Dog hair in a car - never!!!!
