  1. *SOLVED* - locking your doors WIHTOUT keyfob - using your hand...

    Me too! In fact, I didn't even know that my car had this feature until I started reading about it on this Forum several months ago. So..............I went into the garage and tried it out and voila it worked and the car locked...................and works every time for me. Yes, there are...
  2. Scratched door, repair advice?

    One suggestion. Are you a member of PCA? I would reach out to my local chapter and talk to a few members - you will find them to be very friendly and helpful. I am guessing that they have one or two local specialists that do this type of work on a daily basis............and most of them talk...
  3. Help me decide!

    Years ago Porsche had a commercial that showed a 911 driving speedily through some twisty turns in the mountains. The only caption was...........................'Porsche, it is like owning your own personal amusement park'. Enough said! In all seriousness, there is nothing like a Porsche.
  4. First real world (customer) Taycan GTS driving video? calculating acceleration time

    Ha! Justin, I like your method! I have worked with actuaries for the bulk of my career (I am NOT an actuary) and I used rough armchair calculations in anticipating their real work. There were a lot of times when I was close.................and then sometimes not so much. But I do like your...
  5. Sport Seats vs Comfort Seats

    I purchased the 18 way as well..........and I would purchase them all over again. The seats are identical to the 14 ways EXCEPT the seat and side bolsters are a little higher/taller. Like other parts of the seats the bolsters adjust when you open the door to get out and dust again when you...
  6. Charging While Driving

    Check out this article about charging while driving - https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/1-mile-stretch-road-being-152805764.html I like the idea but the cost to add the special receiver to enable the charging is estimated to be between $3,000-$4,000 per car. Certainly not worth it to me, but...
  7. Cleaning questions ?

    I bought the Karcher K1700 Cube and it works just fine. I will say though that I have a semi-commercial pressure washer that I use around the house. The hose and wand are pretty high quality and I use them with the Karcher. You might find that any of the less expense pressure washers have...
  8. What is your opinion of the HUD option?

    This is the first car that we have that has HUD. I like it and would order it again. However, I am so used to looking down at the gauges in any car I still find myself (after 1 year of ownership and 6,000 miles) glancing down at the gauges whenever I see law enforcement on the side of the road...
  9. Cleaning questions ?

    So I have kept my cars clean in the past but did not really pay attention to cleaning methods. Just used a hose and bucket and regular towels. And that includes two previous Porsches. I don't know what possessed me to change with the Taycan but I found this video Pro car washing FROM HOME! |...
  10. Leather or better wheels?

    It is YOUR car. Yes, other people will look at it (nice wheels), and some may be lucky enough to get a ride in it (nice leather), but in the end it is YOUR car............and life is way way to short to fret over buying wheels versus leather, or vice versa. I say get both and drive the car...
  11. 85% Charge Less Miles

    I think that you have put the finger on it - drop in temperature. I live in Texas and the same happened to me in late fall. When I first got my car (February 2021) an 85% charge would generally take the SOC to about 205-215 projected miles. As the summer came on AND I put more miles on the...
  12. Performance Battery worth $5k?

    I chose the larger battery. Range anxiety for me is a 'real' thing..........it shouldn't be but it is. For whatever reason the larger battery makes me feel better even though in reality, as many others have commented, you don't need it. I would probably agree that I didn't make an entirely...
  13. Taycan 4S vs Arctic Blast 2022: Stuttgart Strikes Back!

    I see similar results leaving a warm garage.........but I live in Texas. Earlier this week the garage temp was in the high 50's early in the AM. Garage is well insulated and contains 4 geothermal units that heat the house. Outside temp was 19. I lost about 10-12 miles on SOC leaving the...
  14. CHERRY METALLIC Taycan Club

    Very NICE color (mine is Cherry Metallic as well ?) but seeing your pics makes me think that living in Texas is not so bad..........................?.............signed...........Not Frozen Bob
  15. 14- vs 18-way seats in leather

    I have the 18 ways and really like them. Both the seat and side bolsters are adjustable as you probably know, so you can extend them out for a looser fit, or, bring them in for a tighter fit. When we ordered our 4S the only car on the lot was a Panamera with 18 way seats. Wife and I sat in...
  16. Shutdowns: Taycan stranded in traffic for a long period?

    I have not tried this, but what about stopping the car and giving the brake a hard press setting the Hold function? The car should think that you are in the car and actively waiting for traffic or whatever the hold up is....................maybe?
  17. Race Tex or Leather for durability and comfort?

    Well.............my 2021 4S has Race Tex as well as the 18 way seats (ventilated). 5,000 miles and I cannot see any wear on the seats or steering wheel. I run and walk every day of the week and hit the health club 3 times a week. I am pretty sweaty when if finish a run or leave the health...
  18. Pending Taycan Delivery - Concern

    Me too. I have two letter recalls - the one for the rear seatbelts and the one for the pre-collision hazard warning lights. The rear seatbelt is not an immediate issue - we have other vehicles that we use when the grandkids come to visit. If there is a more 'serious' recall I will have the...
  19. To RaceTex or not?

    I have a 2021 4S - took delivery in March of 2021. I ordered my car with Race Tex along with ventilated seats (part of the Premium package) and I wouldn't have my car any other way. I can't say why but Race Tex appealed to me as it 'breaks up' the interior with different textures. Just turned...
  20. What's a Person to Do?

    Also, never argue with an idiot. Idiots will bring you down to their level and win with experience! ?
