Home Charging Environment for Electric Vehicles (EV) – A Beginner’s Guide

This time, I’d like to provide a detailed explanation about the home charging environment for electric vehicles (EVs), answering frequently asked questions. At our home, we have one Tesla Model 3 and two Porsche Taycans, a total of three EVs. Drawing from my daily charging experience with these cars, I hope to clear up common doubts and concerns that first-time EV buyers often have about setting up home charging. When I first started, I didn’t...

Taycan Tire Replacement｜A Total of 290,000 Yen for Four Tires!

The Story Behind Replacing the Taycan’s Tires Our Taycan 4S Cross Turismo. When it was delivered at the end of January this year, only the front tires were replaced with new ones. The mileage at delivery was 8,030 km. About nine months have passed since then, and the current mileage has reached 18,000 km. I don’t really remember driving that much, so where did all those kilometers come from… (laughs). The tires were just barely...

Keeping Your Beloved Car Beautiful: Are We a “Protection Film Family” or a “Glass Coating...

“When you buy a car, do you think it’s better to apply a protection film or to get a coating?” This is a question I often get asked. This time, I’d like to share my family’s (my husband’s) perspective on this question. Protection Film vs. Glass Coating A protection film is a transparent film applied to protect the car’s paint surface. It’s especially applied to areas prone to stone chips and scratches, like the front...

Carrera T Break-In Complete: Oil and Filter Change at 2,900km! How Does It Drive Now!?

Carrera T Heads for Oil Change Just over two months after taking delivery of the Carrera T, the mileage finally hit 2,900km, marking the end of the break-in period. So, just before the Obon holidays in August, I took it to the dealer for an oil and filter change. My husband had told me in advance, Make sure to get the filter changed along with the oil. Even if the oil is clean, it’s pointless...

Porsche 911 (991 Early Model) 7th Year Inspection Cost: About 330,000 Yen!

Porsche 911 Vehicle Inspection I purchased a used Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS (991 early model) last September, and since then, I’ve driven nearly 10,000 km, bringing the total to about 41,000 km. And now, this April marks the 7th-year vehicle inspection since its first registration in 2015. Since I have an extended warranty, I decided to have the usual Porsche dealer take care of the inspection this time as well. Last month, after running...

[Porsche Maintenance Costs] Is Porsche Insurance Expensive? How Much Does It Actually Cost?

Porsche Car Insurance For those planning to buy a Porsche, how much Porsche car insurance costs is naturally a big concern. I have touched on insurance a few times in past articles, but never in much detail, so this time I’d like to organize the information a bit. First of all, I have all my insurance through the dealer. To be honest, it’s not cheap. I’m well aware there are cheaper options, but since I...

Just Bought Porsche 911 Broke Down! Understanding the PADM Error

PADM Error As I mentioned recently on a Twitter Space, while driving my newly purchased early 991 Carrera 4 GTS, I suddenly noticed a PADM error warning on the instrument panel. The error is displayed in white (there also seems to be a yellow version), so it doesn’t affect driving and the car runs normally without any issues. From my research across various SNS platforms, this PADM error appears to be a common fault. It’s...

Maintenance Costs for Air-Cooled Porsches: About 2.12 Million Yen Over 3 Years!

The Soaring Prices of Air-Cooled Porsches Recently, the prices of air-cooled Porsches have been climbing relentlessly. While used prices for domestic sports cars have also generally increased, the rate of increase for air-cooled Porsches is truly remarkable. Nowadays, even those in decent condition mostly come with price tags marked as ‘Negotiable’ or ‘ASK.’ Even for cars with listed prices, if they have under 100,000 km and are close to original condition, a 964 Tiptronic can...

Replacing the Rear Spoiler Wall (Bellows) on a Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964)

The hot days continue, but I’m still frequently driving my 964. Since it has Tiptronic, it’s easy to drive both around town and for commuting, making it arguably the best air-cooled Porsche for everyday use. One day, I casually lifted the rear spoiler to take a look and found that the plastic bellows (accordion-style) part had deteriorated and developed holes. While it doesn’t directly affect driving performance, it looks bad from behind and isn’t ideal...

Costs and Photos of Scratch Repairs on My Porsche Cayenne

I Scratched My Porsche Cayenne The other day, I wrote an article about how I scratched my Cayenne. On the same day, I took it to a body shop for an estimate, and after sending it in for repairs, it came back—so I want to share about that experience. The body shop I entrusted with the Cayenne repairs is the same one I used many times when I had just graduated from being a paper...
