Indoor winter storage question

[Ciao]

Another tip: put wheel chocks in front of 1 or both wheels and put the gears in neutral and release the parking brake so that there is no tension on the brakes or gears during storage

Does this apply to a Tiptronic? Mine is a Tip.

No. This procedures is just a tip for stick shifts; though leaving it in gear may not make significant harm some may not want to take a chance

You can... but way overkill.
I’ve had no issues in 7 years with my Boxster or in the previous 23 years with my Fox 5.0 Mustang leaving it in 1st all winter without the e-brake on.
Same for parking on bare concrete.
No precautions taken, just a bit of thumping for the first 10 minutes on the first drive in the spring.
