You are good to go as is. Did you inflate tires to 50-55 lbs? If not do that to help prevent flat spots. If possible use tire cradles or I use a carpet square under each tire.
I hate putting it away but the winters suck and the crap they throw on the roads here is terrible for the cars. Lots of guys drive all winter long, more power to them. I get a solid 9-10 months in till I move my car to Florida.

I did over inflate the tires to 40/44psi. I was afraid to go too much. I was thinking of placing some sort of foam padding squares, or something similar. That I’m still checking into.
Youre right, the crap they do throw on the roads are terrible. The underneath of my car is practically new looking and I would like to keep it that way.

sorry to hear that, but this makes sense. I have the cable running out of the corner of the passenger door, and did lock the car. Also, I did notice when I unplugged the device from the outlet and plugged it into another, the unit does NOT start charging. It just sits there, on, but instead of picking up from where it left off, you need to select the mode again, then it starts charging again. Your dealer is correct, a power interruption does stop it. At least now I know how this device works. Thanks again

I live in No VA and mine is parked until spring too. Lots of ice, salt and sand here during the winter months. I just put mine on a battery tender. Doing some polishing and then need to get one of those OEM car covers.

yep, the front lower corner. It had the least insulation, and seemed to be the path with least resistance.

I too live in NJ and have my 991 hibernating for the winter. I use the Cayenne Diesel for the winter which I absolutely love! I use the OEM Porsche Battery Tender and lock the car. Fill the gas to the top and fill tires to 48psi. Plus I wax and polish her multiple times throughout the winter. Paint is slick as hell.
