My painted side markers in volcano grey just arrived today to replace the orange indicators when my MY19 arrives in 3 weeks. Ordered online and you can PM if you have questions.

Btw, I do like the sports exhaust, especially in an indoor parking garage where the low ruffle sound is more pronounced with it on.
Also, the ACC ... hmmm... I still find it weird that it takes control when you don't expect it and starts breaking for cars in front way to far behind them even in shortest distance setting. If you want to push through traffic on fast lane by getting people to move to the slow lane, it doesn't help.
But I guess I still need to get used to it.

Sottozero 2's and Spyder wheels came into dealer today and their collabs in rim painting and repair now replicating the gloss black with the diamond cut rim - can't wait to see these on the Cararra White car (and do a bit of skidding about in our falling temperatures!) Other tyres going to hotel with storage and 2 x annual swaps included... eventually decided that with vat and ct benefit on the spend it was decent value over the next 3 years. Also some guarantees buying via dealer etc
btw any UK folk with a SIM - look up SMARTY - January sale on LARGE DATA sim only £15 8GB 3g/4g with 2 months free - going to cancel my Plusnet, just not enough data for streaming - and will not out of principle be ripped off by Vodafone/VW Group!!

I asked today at the Porsche centre what a complete set of winter tyres on 20" rims would cost.
In the Netherlands that would be €5.3k for the Panamera Turbo design with Michelin Pilot Alpin tyres.
The ones I like, however, are the platinum Panamera exclusive design and cost 7.6k.

This is not what I find with my ACC at all. It is actually very sophisticated, and I'm very impressed. I vary the 5-graded distance frequently when in lots of traffic, but I'll keep the maximum distance when traffic is light. It's very relaxing to know it's working, and after a trip of thousands of miles of using ACC, it's actually very sobering to go back to driving in heavy traffic without ACC on. I have found that ACC gets a little over-anxious when in a sharp curve on multi-laned expressways, not sure sometimes what to do when it detects a car in the next lane over; and it also gets testy sometimes when somebody strays too close to the line (or crosses it briefly) in front of you. But over all, I'm very happy with my ACC and would never get another car without it.

Glovebox
I’ve got a question for the collective wisdom of the group. I’m getting into the weeds a little bit here but I would thought I would ask anyways. I’ve been chasing down a rattle in my new car. It seems to be coming from the front passenger side/glove compartment area. As I was taking a closer look this morning inside the glove box I noticed a couple things and I’m wondering what they are. The first item is a round **** inside the glove box. You are able to rotate the **** clockwise and counterclockwise and when you turn it, air flows...so it seems to be some sort of a vent like thing...I have no idea why there would be a vent inside the glovebox. The other item inside the glove box is a little bracket on the glove box door. it appears to be something to hold a pen or maybe a tire pressure gauge. The Porsche manual is silent on both these items... thus my questions. Thx in advance.

Electric Milage
I’ve got a question for the group about what sort of mileage they’re getting on battery only. I drove from my house to the airport today on battery only. On a. lmost exclusively highway, the distance was 13 miles with no traffic, speed was around 60mph. The air temperature here in Chicago was approximately 25°F. When I left the house, I had a full charge. I can’t say it was at 100% because my indicator never seems to reach maximum full but it was pretty close. When I arrived at the airport 13 miles later my battery was totally discharged. I’m pretty disappointed about this. I’m hopeful that the cold air temperature is playing a big role, but this is obviously no where near the advertised 30 miles per charge. My car is 1 month old with 600 miles on it. Maybe I’ve got a bad battery? Not sure.
