my new obsession is tire availability. Porsche keeps coming up with tire sizes that are in short supply. Same with motor oil - the new spec oil is still hard to find outside of the dealership, and now they have introduced another new formula and split the oil spec into regular and GT-cars. Good luck finding all that - even dealers sometimes don't have it. Otherwise, same old.

You wipe it down after every drive!? Wow I thought my washing my car every 1-2 weeks was mildly obsessive, but now I can tell my wife I'm not nearly as OCD as I could be!

Tire pressure. I used to get the pressure # off the door tag and check it twice a year on my Audi. But Porsche turned it into a fun mini-game.
Set the tires up for the tire type in the PCM, set comfort pressure, and spend 5 minutes trying to achieve all zeros on the deviation menu. This is more satisfying than it has any right to be…
What (aside from spending lots of time in this forum) has owning your Porsche made you obsess over?
I swear I didn't click the thread and was going to reply this same exact thing. And here I am researching for a decent quality tire pump...
arb makes quite a few. there are other that are much cheaper, but i avoid buying Chinese products as much as i can, unless i know more about the maker.
More of a 911 issue for sure - but with the light weight batteries and rear axle steering the batteries can only sit so long.
On my GT3 I worry about it being off a tender for more than a week or so - and you have to do things like leave your frunk open so you can actually access the battery once it dies.
On the Cayenne I honestly worry way less about this (just left my car outside at the airport for 9 days) but I would worry about leaving it for a month or two not on a charger.
Varies by location. At home it’s 92, Florida and many other places 93. AZ it’s 91 and most places west I have purchased at. I think what they are trying to say is the minimum is 91. Top tier and usually less than others.
