How does your Taycan feel after 15-20K miles?

10K miles and still solid. Not even one squeak or rattle.

Mine is 1.5 yrs with 15k miles using as DD. Lately I am noticing little vibration on steering when I drive past 80mph. Don't feel that under 80. Other than that no major complaints.

wheel balancing?

Only grievance is the small amount of rock chips I've accrued on the areas with no clear bra. There's not a lot, but I can tell you exactly where they are from memory and it haunts me every time I'm driving it.

Did you replace the ball bearings?

No, but I had a major blinker fluid leak. While dealer was fixing that they noticed a crack in the henway. Waiting on a new one from Germany.

At 26k miles, it was like new. I wouldn’t expect any less from a Porsche.

One minor creak from the front left suspension. Dealer thinks I'm nuts because you almost never hear it in regular driving but if you go over a speed bump off-center, it's very noticeable. Which I do every morning taking my daughter to school. But it's a minor quibble.

I'm just over 20K miles and everything else is tight. No rattles or anything like that. Really important because the car is ridiculously quiet.

Is that not normal everyday driving? I feel that a well-maintained car should not have a creaking suspension, especially a new car.

Tyres? Do you have Goodyear Eagles?

While I only have 5K on mine, my Taycan, like every Porsche I have owned, is built solidly and does not feel any worse for wear at all, nor do I expect it to have problems.

My other Porsche is now 18 years old, and it feels absolutely new. Now, I am obsessive about maintenance, and I even replaced every suspension part on this car this year even though it only has about 30K miles because the parts just normally degrade with time just like your tires do even if they seemingly have enough tread. So the minute I have any issue with any part (like a button feeling "gummy"), I replace it immediately so that car doesn't slide into a geriatric state. I would do the same with my Taycan if I kept it for this long, but doubt that I will just due to advances for EVs over time.

I also find that I have grown to love my Porsches even more over time, which is unlike nearly every other car I have owned. Other cars, like my previous Teslas, lost appeal over time as the novelty wears off and the flaws begin to take over my attention.

The Porsches to me are more like androids than iPhones: The iPhones are much more intuitive and easy to pick up right away, but customization is limited to achieve this goal. Like an android, it takes a lot more to get a Taycan "dialed in", but there is so many more things to learn, which can be hard since the manuals suck (I learn more on this forum about how the car really works than I can from very carefully reading the manual), but the ability to customize is exactly why it grows on you as you learn its tricks.

As far as how my Taycan feels, I can't tell you because I haven't learned how to listen for its perspective . . .

wheel balancing?

Yep was thinking the same. Hopefully this doesn't require removal of front bumper etc.

I have now 29500 miles on my Taycan. Still feels like new, no rattles etc. Car is better than new thanks to the major SW update last year. Some squeaks from a few panels interior, but I suspect this has come about when Porsche changed a lot of the Comms modules earlier. The last 10k+ miles have only had one problem with HPC charging! Most likely not a problem in the car, but due to a massive thunderstorm that likely knocked out all communications and power supply to Ionity stations. Car will be checked next week if there is a problem in the car?

Just changed the front tyres, due to a pothole damage.
But still on original rear Tyres except for about 5k miles winter tyres. Time for new ones there as well.

Changed from Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 to Asymmetric 5 and they seem quieter.

Still love it, but:

1. I wish it had some sort of self driving feature like the BMW iX I recently drove for a week. Innodrive was never offered in my market...

2. I wish it had a bigger battery with the same weight, 120 kWh would be perfect.

3. I wish the trunk would be a bit bigger, so I could fit in a couple of golf bags easier.

30K miles and 3.5 yrs and it drives like the first day. One slight 'rattle' I noticed going over bumps was corrected by replacing the rear headrest. That's about it. Pretty good after the agony of the first couple months or so getting the software straight and communicating with NHTSA on the dreaded 'red wedding' light. The only other minor issue is I can't believe Porsche didn't supply the correct gage wiring on their charger, so it will overheat if it's hot out and I have it set to 40 amps. I've dialed it back to 36 and it's fine so far...?

Now that I understand what I'm doing…..

 

[Crazycanuck]

23k miles. 2.5 years. No major issues.

10K miles and still solid. Not even one squeak or rattle.

16,000 miles and boy it feels as tight as new and just fantastic. Learning how the car responds in very situations makes it all the better to drive really love this car.
