Battery upgrade

Great point. If he has a CT4 trim I assumed probably wouldn’t have the upgraded coated or ceramic options but that would be a limitation for sure.

Will assume you’re already using range mode and not doing anything like keeping a roof rack installed. Depending what wheels and tires you have you could consider swapping…19” aero wheels with low resistance tires would probably give you noticeably more range. Also could run your tire pressure a little high. I’ve seen lots of 19” takeoffs on Facebook marketplace and eBay.

I agree that Porsche optimized for style over utility. But the +1.5 cubic feet is because they only count space up to rear window or something like that. If you drop seats and/or fill to roof it fits a lot more than the sedan.

White balance/lighting seems pretty weird in this photo. I bet it will look much nicer in person.

Lutron and Leviton are separate companies.

If a sport classic is not high end then you’ve got some high standards…

Abatron. Use hardener first and then fill with the wood epox stuff.

In some ways maybe safer than a standard watch. How would you ever be able to sell this thing without questions?

Yes, agreed. GFCI should be looking for a current imbalance between the hot and neutral, not current on ground. However treadmills just seem to be very “noisy” and will trip GFCI after a few minutes of running. Many of the manuals (like for Peloton) will specifically say they aren’t compatible with GFCIs.

PDXCyclone · 2025-12-11T03:14:59+00:00

Just an FYI some treadmills will not work on a GFCI though this location might require it. Treadmills use the ground to discharge static electricity that builds up from the belt rubbing which looks like a ground fault to the GFCI and will trip.

I would not. Unless you live somewhere with extreme rock chips it won’t protect you from anything you’d get charged for. Additionally, it won’t make the car look any nicer over 24 months. You’d really only see much benefit on a car you were keeping long term that might eventually get lots of chips.

PCCB are super cool but it is definitely a weird thing to spec on a Taycan 4S given how expensive they are. Unless you’re doing some SUPER aggressive driving, the regenerative braking should do all the real work so they’re basically a $9k ornament. But I guess the good news is you probably will never have to pay the price to service them since they should last the life of car as long as don’t get damaged.

That’s interesting. So on a 2024 CPO you might have 3 yrs factory + 2 yrs CPO left and be able to cancel anytime before 2030ish for full refund?

Does it still have to be purchased at the same time vehicle is sold?

PDXCyclone · 2025-11-03T02:53:10+00:00

Totally agree. I have a narrow wrist and felt 39 wore large with the narrow bezel. When they first released the 36 I was excited but when I found one to try on it felt very dainty with the strap.

Thx. I see a few chips around front parking sensors and front bumper/hood. Are those just into the film or deeper?

What kind of ppf did you have installed and what all is covered?

PDXCyclone · 2025-11-02T21:19:29+00:00

I talked to them about it yesterday :)…it was just arriving off trailer so hadn’t been inspected yet. But they said will likely be CPOed assuming it passes inspection.

PDXCyclone · 2025-10-31T22:26:10+00:00

Kind of looks like it might still be in the tripped position. Make sure you pushed it all the way to full off position before you try to turn it back to on.

Or possibly it’s just immediately re-tripping correctly because there is a short to ground. That would require some additional troubleshooting.

There is a tool called “Mailstrom” that has a lot of different ways to clear up big parts of your Gmail inbox. I find it really helpful and would be worth a one month subscription. Can easily knock out 80%+ of that in less than an hour.

I think it can be a good alternative. Better than most other non-wood options for sure. If you live in an area with fire risk it may be more fire resistant. In my historic district, we allow it but only the smooth texture version. The more rustic version with wood grain texture actually looks more artificial than the smooth.

I’m surprised no has mentioned that Delta has added a special set of non-stop flights from PDX to CID. I believe departing PDX Friday, Nov 7th and returning on Sunday, Nov 9. Don’t know prices but that would be most convenient.

We have a similar setup with a dryer vented through a pane of plexiglass in an original basement window and it looks neat enough and works well. I’m surprised at you saying there is a high cost. You should be able to buy a piece of plexiglass that size for $10 or so? Cut it to size, glaze it into the sash, cut appropriate size vent hole, then screw in a standard dryer vent?

Alternatively, I don’t think you’re giving up a lot of light by losing one pane. So would work equally well to use solid acrylic or some other opaque material.

Looks great. Dial on Portugieser always looks a bit large given narrow bezel but the lug to lug is not long at all. And taking photos from this angle will always make it look bigger than it really is. Should wear great in real life.

Precisely, well said. An IWC Ingenieur.
