The other day my wife was commenting how guys are always checking out the Taycan when we are driving it. Yesterday she was meeting some friends for coffee and a random guy start talking to her about the car. Never see any girls checking out the car while I am driving, much less stopping to talk about the car. I think mine is broken and I should return it for one that works. My wife says I should keep it, but I don’t think it’s wise to keep a defective vehicle.

Definitely have your dealer check that out. There might be a TSB on it. Girls should already be flocking around and trying to talk to you about the Taycan long before you even take delivery of it - like when you're sitting at the coffee shop refreshing your TYD page whilst still waiting for your car to be loaded on a ship at Emden.

What sunglasses are you wearing and are you popping your collar(s) correctly?

Apologies......
Didn't realise it was your wife.

Just asked her about the drag coefficient with the spoiler in its various positions, but she didn't seem to know.

You live in Texas? I used to as well. Put a gun rack on the back, and mud flaps with a silhouette of naked chicks. No guarantees you'll get the girls you were expecting.

I see your mistake, you have not mapped the said feature to the "soft" button on your dashboard. BTW you need to press it every time you start the vehicle. This feature is not in the manual, or the good to know app, and requires the latest software update from the dealer. Oh, did I mention its $1,000 :)

Typed tongue in cheek from a delighted Taycan owner who still scratches his head sometimes at the Porsche experience!

I have never found women interested by cars at all, mind you, for a few, there is no aphrodisiac like a bulging wallet so some will be attracted by potential cash injection from an owner of something expensive.
I remember at a party when in my teens overhearing one of the more mercenary females in our group saying "there is some talent here, whose is that (insert expensive sportscar) outside" then being fed up it was her cousin's :)

When I got a Boxster back in 1998 (was living in the Bay Area at that time), about a week after I got it, was stopped at a traffic light, a woman actually got out of the car stopped in front of me, walked up and shouted “I love this car!”, so apparently, there are some women who are into cars!

It sure was a different bay area back then. In my case, some dude was leaning the way over his wife (who was driving) trying to take a pic of the Taycan and ended up accidentally honking the horn. The only time the car got female attention was when a well dressed lady old enough to be my mom stopped by to ask whether the Taycan was better than the Plaid her husband owned and kept insisting her to buy another one of.
