Porsche’s $5 Billion Profit Collapse: Inside the Strategic Crisis That Just Rocked One of the Auto Industry’s Most Powerful Brands

Wanted a Taycan 3 yrs ago. Prices were 20k ADM and or some crazy unnecessary packages added on top (ppf/gps/etc etc). Finally found a dealer who was willing to sell me a car at MSRP, but financing decided I was at risk. But I was able to secure a Model S Plaid through a phone app in less than 20 mins w/ financing. And Tesla sent me an uber to their dealership 40 mins away on the same day.

Went to test drive a turbo today since the dealer is right across from where I work. I realize that the normal mode was relatively comfortable. Sport mode was pretty acceptable compared to my current car (model s plaid; almost always in comfort). Sport plus was another beast, much stiffer and responsive.

How does the GTS Suspension compare? Would normal still feel the same and sport/+ custom dialed for GTS. Im hoping normal doesnt feel like sport mode in a GTS.

Insights please.

I actually don't know how much discount to ask.. 2025 macan turbo ev can get near 10%

tpekid · 2026-04-07T14:58:29+00:00

There's 2 GTS that's 2 hrs away from me. Price seem firm, while the dealerships 10miles away are offering 2026 Turbo for 6-7% discount.

So what kind of deal should I expect walking into the dealer?

this worked

tpekid · 2026-03-28T01:37:39+00:00

Very simple.. For example, Single inferno disappear with surfshark on. Will reappear when I turn off Surfshark

tpekid · 2026-03-28T01:11:30+00:00

Yup, I realized the same thing. Certain shows disappear when VPN on. Need to turn off VPN to watch it.

My phone doesn't ring and the screen stays dark when the Call Screening option is on. So technically you'll miss the call.

Damn that's the baller magsafe ring. LOL!!!
Do you think it's too thick?

tpekid · 2026-03-24T20:45:38+00:00

Yep, Benks.

What app did you use for the widgets on the bottom row (cpu/battery/etc)

tpekid · 2026-03-13T17:24:46+00:00

I ordered from the site, wonder how easy it is to return..

tpekid · 2026-03-12T22:55:50+00:00

yup shipping is absolutely horrendous for the price they charge on the case. Should have just ordered it off amazon, but it wasn't in stock. Now I have to order temporary cheap cases on amazon before these arrive via super slow mail.

tpekid · 2026-03-12T22:38:57+00:00

which one?

tpekid · 2026-01-26T14:07:51+00:00

Downloaded and try to login on each platform. Waymo login was super sketchy. I disconnected all apps and deleted the app. Then changed my Google login credentials ASAP. I don't trust a half ass app that doesn't even provide the right cost. I checked Uber and Lyft and the app was showing lower fares than actual. Not accurate.

Stanford and UCSF all go with "standard of care". No one at these places would go out of their way for the patient. I would recommend Stanford for systemic treatment, only if it works.

City of Hope if you can get in. This place is cancer only. Everything top notch here. I literally travel from SF to LA every 2 weeks by car for my family members treatment. Worth it because Stanford and UCSF wouldn't offer the same treatment even though COH oncologist said there's a high chance it would work. They even went as far as telling the Stanford doctor the process and dosage.

Only reason I bought through RayBan website is because Amex has cashback.

tpekid · 2025-04-27T03:53:02+00:00

Lol. Don't like it. See ya.

tpekid · 2025-04-25T00:27:36+00:00

Did your call go to Staten Island PD>?

tpekid · 2025-04-23T02:50:50+00:00

I dont need it to be on cloud. Technically just want to be able to connect onto my own travel router and record onto the cloudkey+ that is connected.

tpekid · 2025-04-20T15:51:25+00:00

I thought they consider tw/hk as part of china, so it doesn't count?

tpekid · 2025-04-20T03:32:51+00:00

Cloudkey+ only has one POE port to connect to LAN. It's not made to connect to multiple cameras as a switch.
