Took delivery in 2/2021. Approaching 8,000 trouble free miles. Maybe a couple of glitches here and there that completely resolve themselves. Overall, I am very satisfied with my Taycan and would purchase it all over again.
Ha, ha, ha. My car has been called a Jaguar................WHAT??????? Others are amazed when I tell them that it is all electric - and some look at me like I don't know what I am talking about. It's when I tell them - 'Look - no tail pipes!' that they look confused............how could a car...
I cannot remember the exact numbers, but I passed on all of the 'extra' service contracts when I purchased my car. Couple of thoughts................Even for a Porsche $9,000 will pay for a lot of repairs - I would rather take my chances that nothing happens in years 4-6 and I still have the...
And if you mash the accelerator pedal the car will accelerate past the Range Speed Max. The Range Speed Max will reset once you lift off of the accelerator and the speed of the car goes below the Range Speed Max. Sometimes you just need 5 MPH more than what you have the Range Speed Max set...
My guess is that it will be an imperfect system with different states addressing the 'use' tax in different ways. When you think about it the use of fuel by lawn companies, farming, boating, etc., includes a roadway 'use' tax when those activities never actually hit the road. As the nation...
Not a surprise. Not sure if other states have done something similar but I would guess that this will occur in a number of states over time. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/owners-of-electric-vehicles-hybrids-may-have-to-pay-an-annual-fee-to-use-louisiana-roads/ar-AAXnaGK?li=BBnb7Kz
Me too! I do not live to far from you (Granbury) and pretty much all of our drives are during the day. Never had a problem cooling the car (glass roof as well) with no window tinting. Every once in a while I have to move the fan to position #4 but after a few minutes I back it down to 3 and...
I am in Texas as well and don't even notice the sun coming through the roof. I will say that my eyes are not that sensitive to the sun and/or light (I only wear sunglasses when we are on the boat) so it might be more of individual sensitivity to sun/light versus a design flaw. That said I...
I used 6 gauge as well assuming that we would have just one charger. Same position as you - IF we add another EV and add another charger we will need to go to a heavier gauge, etc. But my outlet is only about 20 feet from the electrical box in the garage and easily accessible so it will be a...
Same decision for me - just could not justify the $25k increase in price from 4S to Turbo. Sometimes I wonder if I made the right decision but when I am driving my 4S I am re-convinced that I made the correct decision - for me.
I would stay away from the 14-50 outlets that are in the $15.00 range. Go to Amazon and look for a Hubbell - about $115.00 or so. Well worth the extra couple of $$$ to have piece of mind that your electric system is not going to melt the less expensive outlets. Also, when your electrician runs...

I am thinking pretty much the same thing. I have seen/read several articles on how dealers are stressing because EVs do not need oil changes and the maintenance that ICE cars need. How are the dealers going to cover overhead if EVs are not coming in for service? I think that once the car is...
I have had my 2021 for 1 year, 6,500 miles with Mission Es. I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and I can't say our roads are as bad as Chicago or Boston but we do have potholes and other road imperfections. Like of lot of the people that responded to your thread I keep my eyes on the road in...
I have a very similar car without RAS and without insulated windows. Friends that have ridden in the car always comment on 'how quiet this car' is. I feel the same when I drive it - pretty darn quiet.
I have not drive a car with RAS so I cannot speak from experience...............but from...
I posted this last year (see below) on the Forum. Granted, not scientific and it does not try to determine what mode the transmission is in but it does give you a good idea on how I found the range to be affected by the different modes. NOTE - I do not have Sport Plus on my car. Range by far...
I thought that I was having the same issue............set Smartlift at a location that I go to essentially every day. The computer asked me if I wanted to save the location, I hit 'yes' and thought that would be it. Be no...............next day no Smartlift so I hit the button and the car...
Dave has given you the best advice.............and not to steal his thunder I was thinking about replying to you with the same advice. You will not be happy with a Porsche if you keep wishing that it was something else. What you are asking Porsche to do is build their car like a...
