That's bad.

Once after my previous car was in they took my car for a test drive, passed the end of our office street, my son was driving along the road they tested, said he saw it blasting along, in a 30. I then followed the car on Porsche connect and it went on a local motorway doing 92mph. ( I had an alert at 90)
They told me it had to do a range of tests, I asked 60+ in 30 or 92 in a 70.
The next time my car was in the tracker was disabled or put in service mode or something. And always has been since, and my cams are unplugged too.


Many years ago, an old boss of mine had a Testerossa, and apparently he knew a guy whose Ferrari was smashed up when a technician took it to get the workshops sandwiches for lunch, story goes they had to replace the car as it had lost so much value due to the smash. (back in the 90's)

Pretty ghetto home. I would call the police and say that your car was stolen. I don't think the dealership realized it. Momentum or West Houston?

This is crazy. They shouldn't have to ask to know that it's not okay.

Not necessarily weird at all. A lot of computer and calibration issues require drives, with routines that are easier to perform at weird hours when no traffic etc.

They put 15 or so miles on my car over two days in for a series of strange issues that ended up related to battery voltage.

Still that one seems a bit odd.

That was funny. It was a joke right ? Calibtation issues require a Tech to take his car home, and then visit the hospital ? It will be interesting to see what PCNA think of this little tour. Especially if that’s a techs home address, and someone they know is in that hospital, or is an employee.

Nurse girlfriend ? “Hey, check out the launch control on this thing”. Then they zero out the data.

Strange, your blue dot is within 50m of the car, yet says will take you 1hr 33 mins to walk the 4.6miles ?
