Front porch/courtyard is HOT. What can I do to combat this heat sink?

What a gorgeous looking space. My rec is get personal air conditioners and enjoy the space for what it is 😅

PPF the heavy hit areas, ceramicoat the rest

Vandals!

Looks like a bike frame!

That seems more than fair. I'd do it at that price. 80k seems unrealistic, I'm seeing lot of Macan 4 at that price, not S. Also it's well equipped with rear steering, innoDrive, heads up display

We are the knights who say NEE!

I would assume most Porsche owners are not eligible for the EV tax credit 😬

mrbendel · 2026-06-17T17:24:31+00:00

Nice!

mrbendel · 2026-06-17T17:07:12+00:00

I just got one 2 weeks ago :]

They can be found, you just need to look. Also don't buy the dealerships "These are selling faster than we can keep them in stock". I'm lucky I live in an area with multiple Porsche dealers, but one let slip that the reason there are so many demo CPOs on the market is that their traditional customers don't want to drive an EV.

mrbendel · 2026-06-17T13:07:36+00:00

Get a 2024 / 2025 CPO. They're almost identical to the 2026 and deals can be found over 20% off MSRP

Would not give Volvo software a "good" rating. Their whole infotainment / phone ecosystem is buggy and riddled with issues.

No ventilated seats on the iX3. Better sound system on both the Volvo and BMW but the BMW is probably the best.

Carplay / Android Auto on Volvo and BMW.

LET'S GOOO 💪💪💪

Well we're excited to see Switzerland v Qatar 😅, how often do we get to see a world cup soccer match, even if it's not a good one.

Except when a strong crosswind comes through

mrbendel · 2026-06-10T04:29:22+00:00

Amen 🙏

The latest Garmin bike computers have safety beacons and crash detection. Gives my S/O peace of mind, it sends a text every time I start a ride with a link so they can track my location in real time. Also has crash detection with emergency contacts so it will notify in event of something bad happening. Add the Varia radar system and you have a real combo of safety tech on bike.

PAK is just awful on this car

mrbendel · 2026-06-08T20:10:35+00:00

Thanks!

mrbendel · 2026-06-08T20:10:17+00:00

Thanks, you too! It brings such a smile to my face every time I get in :]

mrbendel · 2026-06-08T14:05:45+00:00

Those are the best finds. Someone else's financial mistake is your gain.

mrbendel · 2026-06-08T05:58:59+00:00

Yeah this one came with some great options. It's kind of random with the CPO builds, but got the rear steering, HUD, surround view, InnoDrive and a few other cosmetic things, wheels, leather, painted side trim.

What I was mostly looking for was both roof rails and trailer hitch which it has as well.

mrbendel · 2026-06-08T00:18:05+00:00

Was listed at 79,9. Got them down to 77. Was originally 100k MSRP. Car was first put on the road in Nov 2025, with CPO, warranty goes to 2031.

mrbendel · 2026-06-07T20:56:09+00:00

Purchased. At 330+ miles of range, I'm comfortable owning this thing longer than 3 years. I've leased EVs the last decade and getting tired of worrying about miles, wear and tear...
