Yes, I own a Gen 1 so I'm biased, but too bad: it's the better looking design. Clearly the politicalization of a car's drivetrain has impacted Taycan sales, but I can't imagine the new design isn't a factor. It's just a more boring looking car unless you're in a Turbo or greater and even then...

TBH, I think it’s incredibly short-sighted. Every week I see more and more EVs on the road in my town and the parking garage at the train i take into the city is filled with more EVs than ever. Public charging has never been easier. Where Porsche has failed is in price - the high-end of the...

I got this yesterday, and have seen similar since getting one of the modules replaced in my 2020 4S in June. My range this summer has been awesome, but it’s also due to my recently repaired battery and battery interface module, but I’ll take it!

I've been meaning to write up my experience with my MY2020 4S, so I guess there's no better time than now. Before I dive in, I'll say that even though my car (originally set to be built in Jan 2020 and delivered April 2020, but delayed due to COVID to going on the production line in April 2020...

I'm getting several battery modules replaced now and will be asking this very question when I pick my car up (still no ETA on that due to a part stuck in customs in GA due to tariff paperwork). I doubt the issue will be running out of the battery cells that compromise the module - those aren't...

You can negotiate it down. I have the same plan and paid less than $5K for it.

I have an EV Macan 4 while my Taycan’s battery module is replaced and the PCM is quite good. Very responsive and more modern-looking than the Taycan PCM. That said, I vastly prefer CarPlay than the built-in functionality. Running it in dark mode as the default makes a huge difference and it...

Yeah, just got confirmation today that I’m getting new modules and not a new pack. Oh well. At least I’ll get my car back soon!

If anyone has applied a DIY solution, I’d love to see the before and after and a set of steps. I’ve seen videos for other cars, but passenger panel has the same swirls and I’m dying to get it rehabbed. If it takes bringing it to a detailer to get the panel removed, polished, and re-installed...

I got the red ring of death mid-April (2020 4S w/Performance HVB) and while my local Porsche dealer has verification from Germany that I’ve got the bad cells, he indicated that Porsche is still deciding on how to fulfill battery replacements due to parts availability issues. It sounded like...

Thanks for the write up. I just had my MY20 in for a heater replacement and had a well-specced 2025 base model as a loaner for a few days. I had to drive my son back to college so actually had some good seat time in it. Granted, I’ve got a 4S so the comparison wasn’t apples to apples. TBH, the...

Which version of the app are you using? There was an update, at least for me, yesterday to v14.0.3. Maybe that has a bug fix that will address it? That said, when this happened to me two weeks ago the issue was that my heater had failed. Again.

I had the heater on MY20 4S replaced in April 2024 under the WPL8 campaign and it just failed again. Not sure why these heaters are so fragile but two failures is nuts. Awaiting to hear from my dealer if they have the part in stock and can repair later this week. It’s also bananas that the car...

LOL, the Taycan going ICE is just ridiculous and it’s hard to believe anyone could believe that rumor. I could see the 718 EV being delayed until Porsche sees how the new Macan EV does in the market, but I think that car will have a strong first couple of years. EV adoption in my neck of the...
