Wireless charger needed to be replaced. Cheap Chinese brand finally gave out. Actually had it for more than i thought it would last so can’t be upset about it.
Purchased Otterbox brand. Comes with charger, cable and cigarette lighter. Works really well and lets you ‘rotate’ your phone (i tend to use it sideways when WAZE app is on). Kind of pricey ($50) but find it to be solid made quality which you expect from Otterbox. Highly recommended!

So last 7 days has been a complete hell for me and my car. Hit a pothole on interstate early morning, thankfully rims (passenger side) held air and drove fine but left sizeable bubbles on the sidewall plus scratches to both rims. Was sick to my stomach that I could almost throw up. Tires were measured at 4/32” at last service so i knew i only had 2k-3k tread left (if that) but still sucked regardless. Took it to a local dealership hoping new set of tires and alignment is all i’d need but of course got a call back that rims have slight bent and likely need to be replaced. You would never expect how much these rims cost!!!! Thankfully they have a company to repair rims and suggested that i try them first which ended up working out. They fixed back to original spec and now everything is good.

Went with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and love them! Repair service ended up getting scratches out too which was a huge plus. Can’t even tell anymore.

Hopefully this is the only damage i’ll incur with this car under my ownership. What a nightmare but glad it’s done.

Sucks!!! Those PS4S are awesome tires. I’m running them as well. Way better than the Super Sports!
