excellent review. couldn't help notice your full tank reads 386mi. i've seen posts here and 6sp that note problems with empty tanks when gauge reads 1/4 full. i have had varying results with a FULL tank- range from 265-385 mi despite waiting for 10-15 min after fill-up; also restarting with no change. fyi 991s. have you noticed any gas tank variability

If I have been doing a lot of highway driving it will show 410 or 430 when full, if I have been doing city driving or snow driving it will 365-385.

It seems to take the last day or so of driving as an average for calculating

Great video.....

It is a little bothersome when you comment on how many cars you got to drive since the Carrera was in the shop so much........................

Alot of $$$$$$ for that many problems.... as I patiently await mine!!!

nick - go out at night, put your lights on and take a look at your license plate. On my 4S the top mount of the rear laser jammer was blocking the lights on the plate and the middle part of the plate was completely dark. I had the shop move it to the bottom, so a cop wouldn't pull me over. Not sure if the same thing happens on a 2S

Hi Jeff,

Yes I did notice that. I think by the time they pull me over the dark spot on the plate will be the least of their issues

Looking to sink that rear jammer into the plate at some point.

Turns out I spoke too soon about the problems being fixed, it is back with the dealer again this week.

well, I figured if a cop was behind me at a red light or something, he'd stop me for that. Plus I'd rather not "call attention to the laser jammer mounted on my rear plate" if possible...

Moving it to the bottom of the plate fixes it easily.

Nice video

The dash cam seem like a good idea. What should I know about it to get one?
