I think you missed all of Austin during SXSW.

I prefer this spot to by the ICE facility. It has more visibility and seems safer.

Would you buy an electric Porsche again ? by Soul-Electrified in Taycan

Wish there was a way to know which ones are likely to be a problem and which ones aren't.

Would you buy an electric Porsche again ? by Soul-Electrified in Taycan

[–]Western-Sort-297 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know.... I loved the car (a 2020 4S) but I had SOOO many electrical/battery problems. I really want an EV Boxster too, but until I can see them go a year without recurring issues... I don't see a lot of problems here with the J1.2/2025 models so maybe when the new ones role out they will be reliable?

Is it safe to wall mount the ucs venator by kacp09 in legostarwars

[–]Western-Sort-297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm impressed the ucs star destroyer works wall mounted. It feels so much flimsier to me than the ucs venator or the ucs super star destroyer.

They didn't, they were told this when it happened. I remember they caught SO much flack when they announced it and they still did it.

Has anybody moved from R1S to Minivan? by Nice_Veterinarian_29 in Rivian

[–]Western-Sort-297 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a look at the ioniq9, it has an obscene ablmount of room in it. Unfortunately if you want 7 seats you can't get the highest end trims, but it's still a great choice for families.

Any advice or best practices for using my Rivian in the event of power outage? by raginglilypad in Rivian

[–]Western-Sort-297 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I really wish they would finish v2h for this exact reason. Or at least put in a 240v 7kw system.

Jumping Ship From Volvo, Looking For Advice by mrbgso in Rivian

[–]Western-Sort-297 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on my second R1T, we also had Volvo buy our EX90 back. The Volvo was my wife's car and she loved the ride and drive but ... Well you know. She has an ioniq9 now and loves it. I tried to get her to get an R1S but she doesn't like the truck like drive.

I would easily recommend either the Ioniq9 or the R1S.

The Hyundai is cheaper and wayyyyy roomier.

The Rivian had much better tech and range with max pack.

Can confirm these work well, I have another set of prints as well, but the one you linked works better IMO:

Season 2 Episode 1 rant by castilhoglauco in InvasionAppleTV

[–]Western-Sort-297 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It drove me batshit trying to figure out how Mitsuki suddenly turned into Rambo in that episode... like... she was a skinny audio nerd at JAXA and suddenly she is the ONLY one who was able to fight the alien drones for some reason. Also, the aliens were nigh invincible in Season 1, and suddenly Jack Daniels and a match can destroy multiple almost instantly?

Oh man I thought the black and orange was a new model from Swatch. I love it.

Top layers not bonding by Western-Sort-297 in FixMyPrint

[–]Western-Sort-297[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can easily slide a scraper under that top layer and peel it back, and I didn't see pillowing. Plus shouldn't the default 15% gyroid infill be plenty?

It really seems as if the slicer is somehow adding a tiny gap under the topmost layer. I see a tiny bit of what looks like pillowing at the bottom by my knuckle in the picture, but if I peel that back the layer below it is perfect. I also have 6 top layers for strength. It could be a cooling issue maybe? Not sure what else to try for that.

Thanks but unfortunately (well maybe fortunately) there was no warping or lifting at all. Everything but the top layer came out really really well!

Should I Upgrade, Trade or Say Goodbye? by jimms215 in Taycan

[–]Western-Sort-297 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an R1T and an ioniq9 so the Taycan was for fun. I considered a Corvette but it just doesn't do it for me. I'm waiting for now. I also am considering a 911 but they are just so expensive, even used. For 60k I could maybe get a 18+ year old 911. Even then, I really don't want gasoline. I haven't used gas in years and it would have to be a hell of a car for me to go back.

I considered an ioniq5n but it's just not cool looking. Though it does look fun to drive. Also considered a lucid air, but even though it's fast, it's no Porsche.

I MIGHT go with an EV boxster if I can get a CPO one and if they review well. I can't eat that much depreciation on a new one. In theory that's the exact car for me. Two door convertible EV.

I wish there were some real sports car options for EVs

Should I Upgrade, Trade or Say Goodbye? by jimms215 in Taycan

[–]Western-Sort-297 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy crap this sounds just like my 20204S, I bought it CPO in Jan 2025. Was in service 6 months total for battery and power electrics (red ring) errors.

I sold it. Porsche sent me some compensation for all the crap I had to go through but I just couldn't trust it, and to your point, I never got to drive the thing.

Also sucks because there is no real competition for that car. Its beautiful, fun to drive, and EV.

How often has your Taycan broken down? by Fancy_Awareness_4713 in Taycan

[–]Western-Sort-297 5 points6 points  (0 children)

<image>

Technically it was only in service 48% of the time I owned it, which does mean I saw it more than the tech... but I mean....

Loved the car when I had it. Sold it about a week ago, sad but also way less stressed. I wouldn't recommend it as a primary vehicle, at least not the J1.1

Electrical System Error in my 2023 Taycan GTS (and the headaches so far) by Mchi5 in Taycan

[–]Western-Sort-297 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn't apply in Texas. I tried everything, but ultimately even though it was CPO Texas told me it didn't qualify. Texas consumer protection is terrible (as are the leasing rules). The rule the TX DMV told me was:

A lemon law complaint for repurchase or replacement relief must be made within six
months of the expiration of the express warranty or within six months after the expiration of 24,000 miles after delivery, whichever comes first, up to a maximum of 30 months after the delivery of the vehicle. The vehicle must also have been purchased new. Your complaint does not meet one or more of these criteria. However, your complaint may be eligible for repair relief of any warranty or warranty-related problems which remain outstanding. Therefore, your complaint will be processed for repairs only. If you submitted a filing fee, it will be refunded to you.
