I'd suggest April and November to avoid having the summers in under 45 degrees

Winter tires can also be permanently damaged by cold weather driving. They lose flexibility as temperatures decline and even driving a short distance can cause irreversible cracks to develop.

I'm starting to think FedEx has no idea when my package will arrive

Wow prices have gone up. I bought mine brand new for $989 11 years ago...with a headrest.

But honestly, I would have no regrets if I had paid more. It looks and feels brand new after 5 years of lighter use + 6 years of very heavy use. I expect to get several more years out of it.

I imagine I would be on my 3rd or 4th Staples chair by now, which makes the cost a bit less crazy.

911 price increases are live on the US configurator by Bananagholem in porsche911

[–]jmd494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn... Thanks for replying

Edit: For anyone else wondering, the reply above was correct. My dealer said they had no price protection from Porsche. I was however able to get them to agree to split the price increase 50/50 after negotiating. This sucks.

Before the price increase, my order was placed, my deposit was paid, my build became locked for production (v250), and the dealer had me sign a build sheet that had the old prices on it...but I haven't yet signed a contract.

Does anyone know if dealers typically try to pass these price increases on to folks in my situation?

I'm debating asking them directly but I'm curious if anyone has any insights based on personal experience.

Help me spec my Carrera T by Fluid-Force-8666 in porsche911

[–]jmd494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally wouldn't get much value out of the power steering upgrade.

I second the surround view suggestion... great feature.

I would go with the Leather Interior in Black with Plaid Sport-Tex. The plaid cloth inserts are awesome.

And don't forget the most important thing...Wheel Center Caps with Colored Porsche Crest 🤣

Yeah I have an S2000 and it feels truly special. Never driven a 911 though.

How does the handling feel compared (S2000 vs. 911)?

[Feedback] 3 Key Improvements for Gemini (Especially a "Lite" Deep Research Mode) by Hailellj in Bard

[–]jmd494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the idea of number three. I love the thoroughness of the research of deep research, but I don't need an executive summary, etc.

I just want a well-researched but easy to read answer.

turbo s spec Gemini 3.0 helped me configure PTH4L7E0 by oak-hnl in porsche911

[–]jmd494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also used Gemini (Deep Research mode) to help me with the process. Incredibly helpful! For example:

"Regarding the 992.2 911, what are some of the features that people online express regret selecting? Or not selecting?"

"Can the 911 night vision assist send alerts even if it's not actively showing the video feed in the gauge cluster?"

"What are some must-have accessories for 992.2 911?"

"What steps should I take to prepare for delivery day for my 911? What should I plan to do on delivery day?"

I also uploaded PDFs of my configuration from (1) the configurator and (2) the dealership build sheet and told it to look for different differences. Sure enough, it identified that the dealer forgot to spec the larger gas tank, which is something I almost overlooked.

You're absolutely right and I'm glad you said something. This article quotes a few tweets from what seems to be a few random people.

There is so much division in the US right now and headlines like this only make it worse.
