    Porsche -Tesla Ride today

    interesting points! I do agree. I have only owned my Roadster for less than a year , and this was the first time driving a Porsche. I felt much more comfortable in the boxster, and didn’t think the wheel would come through the floor on every bump! Also the seats were quite comfortable...

    Porsche -Tesla Ride today

    A buddy and I swapped cars today for a beautiful ride in the mountains . As fun as it was to switch through the gears, I couldn’t get over how slow the Porsche was. The roadster is an amazing car, let’s all never forget that!

    Visium installed today!

    Thanks guys! It’s funny, I am going to take it right off because I want to enjoy the summer as much as possible. But it’s a different feel driving with it. Feels very futuristic. Plus the Bluetooth just stopped working , doesn’t synch with the phone. It’s always something!

    Anyone know what would cause this? I plugged my can into my Tesla charger at 40 amps. It stopped charging after 20 mins. I unplugged it, plugged it back in and now it seems fine. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Head light bulb replacement

    2 hrs in and I almost have the headlight out. What a job for a 2$ bulb and a piece of plastic covering it. Still looking for one more hidden bolt to get out the headlight housing. No way I could get the big HID bulbs out and fish through the hole to get the plastic. To be continued.
