A 30 minutes charging session cost me $2k!?!!

[WattTurbo]

Send the bill to Porsche noting a clerical error, citing that you’re supposed to get 30 minutes of free charging for 3 years.

One can only hope

Looked at the OP picture above and it suddenly made me think this.

If I was not a Taycan owner and was unaware of the car and the colour - I would be dumbfounded if I saw your car in public.

I wouldn't be sure what I thought of it at first......a strange pinkish porsche???
...... but after staring at it for a while, I might then decide it is actually the coolest car I've ever seen.

I would then stare at it some more - decide it was epic and take a photo.

If it then accelerated off in a whoosh of electric torque, I would end up telling everyone about it and looking it up on Google.

And I would want one!
?

Thanks for the kind words. I have to admit, I like the color despite being against it during configuration since never have had seen one in person

Actually, it's "unhappy wife, unhappy life". It's not quite the same meaning.

Really? Fortunately, I don't know so I'll take your words for it ?

Sorry, but I have no idea what Birkin is...

Your wallet must thank you

I said that I don't know what it is, but never said my wife didn't. She just happened to walk by while I was typing the responses, and had quick glance at this pic and asked "who sent you that?" I asked her you know what this is? She quickly replied "of course it's Hermes." ?

Good to see another Houston area Taycan - will have to keep an eye out going through Katy!
Def need to replace the amber side markers (although I guess arguably they might be OK with this color choice!)
I've literally passed two sedans and zero CT's on the road since December in Texas including trips to SA/Austin etc. (excluding the Porsche meet at the dealership in Houston North & meeting fellow forum members)!

Yep, Houstonian here. It's funny you mentioned the side markers because the clear ones are supposed to arrive today along with the trunk, and frunk liners. I agree that the amber ones might be ok given the color of the car so I might be wasting $150. I am in Cinco and have seen 2 other sedans here, and an Etron GT in my immediate section but agreed, no CT's yet.

I’ve noticed a lot of US cars come with these, why is that? Mine are clear and looking at photos that other UK owners have posted they have clear ones too so is it a US regulation?

Yes, it's a US regulation.

Guys and gals, I just wanted to make this post so the same thing doesn't happen to you as it did me. So, this afternoon, we took off work a little early since tomorrow is a holiday and no workie..., and I decided to bring the car to an EA station right outside of the mall near our house. While I am there I can put my steps in while waiting for it to charge. The wife accompanied me. We plugged the car in, and walked into the mall, and she headed straight to the Michael Kors store. Next thing I know I am swiping my credit card, and carried this big bag out! I think I've more than spent the savings I'd have gotten on the 3 years of free charging on the second week of owning this car. Arrrrgggg!

All joking aside, here she is after a wash and a coat of ceramic...

Man if you’re spending 2k at Michael Kors you got a whole other set of problems …

Just got the very first A stamp Kelly bag co designed by Bugatti for my wife for her birthday last week. Little under 100 years old.

To bad few people seem to know the connection between gran touring and Kelly bags.

Beautiful Car. Really like the color

frozenberry is amazing colour.
as i said before, @WattTurbo photos are much better then images by configurator.
my wife wanted frozenberry in the beginning, and i was ”fighting” against.
my favourite was/is crayon (or ice grey, dolomite silver) and since it’s my car, coffe beige was a compromise….

Birkin = Porsche/Ferarri/Rolls Royce of women's hand bags…my wife could care less about the cars we drive (although she objected to the rental car we had last week) - but she can spot a Brikin from across a soccer field…it's all what you optimize for.

You're right about that. I can recognize a car at a glance, and my wife can on hand bags and shoes.

Yup, same here. My wife particularly specializes in Chanel (hand bags) and Louboutin (shoes).

Mine as well. I always forget the brand, and referred to them as the red bottom shoes.

Phew! I feel lucky. Since it's spring my wife always insists we go into a nursery or gardening store. We just come back with new plants while charging

Happy Easter


You're right, we have had positive responses especially at a local Porsche car meet last weekend


Sorry, but I have no idea what Birkin is...

You are a lucky man if Birkin is foriegn to you....Keep it that way!!!
If you want to know, do a Google search for Birkin Bags, then hold on to your wallet.

Yes, it's a US regulation.

Ah ok, thought it might be. There seems to be no problem swapping them out for clear ones so is the regulation just that it has to be delivered with them?? All seems a bit pointless (the regulation not swapping them out)
