Major Taycan accomplishment thanks to this forum 🛒

[BigBob]

My insurance requires him to be on the policy. It’s not very expensive.

Wow, over here it would be shitload/uninsurable.

I was really surprised at how cheap it is to insure him on our account. We already had to insure him on our other car that he drives to school everyday so that is why he could not be removed from the Taycan that is insured with the same company. I figure if we have to insure him he might as well get to drive it (while I’m on it with him).

Ok, so after the issues with the PMCC, the questions of warranty coverage, rattles and knocks, and people selling their Taycan for a Lucid (WTF - out of the frying pan and into the fire...), not to mention the mid-terms, and war in Ukraine, it is unbelievably refreshing to read a post that basically validates my OCD behavior with my Taycan.

Thanks so much!

Insurance rates in my area tend to be driven as much or more by likelihood of theft/carjacking than anything else. Fortunately, Porsches are not hijacked at nearly the rate of other vehicles. The only thing that causes high rates is high replacement part costs. So if they don't get you one way, they get you another way.

No matter how far away and alone you park someone will inevitably park next to you.

Rock on!

I let my 5-month-old daughter puke, spit, kick, scream and do her business in the car.
No sweat.

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.

I love this post.
Will be in the same conundrum as I also go to Costco frequently!
The most dangerous thing about the parking lot are all the shopping carts! People leave them everywhere. They are like heat seeking missiles for your car door/fender on a windy day!

Costco parking lots are great places to convert wannabe Plaid owners to the Taycan, at least in the California Bay Area. I have cleaned my daughter’s poopie diapers plenty of times on the Taycan backseat. It’s a 4 door family saloon for God’s sakes, not a 2-door girlfriend on wheels. Let it live a little.

Thank you for bringing laughs to my morning!! I also have a no eating in my car policy and I am driving my husband nuts!!! I also agree with the people that say someone always parks next to you!!! I am a few years out with the truffle pig!!

This is my favorite spot at a major shopping center near me.

I have always thought that they should create a row of parking spots with physical barriers to separate them by a foot or two at least, and then apply demand pricing to them. If the lot is empty, anyone can use them. Once the lot starts to fill up, you have to pay. If the lot is full, you pay a lot.

You can't do that. The economics would never work. Most locations have a required amount of parking per SF or rentable space. The ratio varies by use type. What you suggest would take more physical space and would result in a decrease in the amount of spaces available per acre, which means lsss rentable SF.

I have race-tex seats, a child seat, and go on road trips with my toddler. There have been accidents. That's about all I have to say about that.

Costco doesn't bother me, maybe some of the busier parking garages, but it'll get dinged one way or another eventually.
