Can't you always buy it after 4 years just before the end of the original warranty? Why buy it now? At that point you will know if you want to keep the car for that long.

This is one more known issue without a fix. Here is the TSB https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10191723-0001.pdf

Any modification can void the warranty of the modified components if the failure is related to the modification. Also the dealer is not the one who approves warranty claims. That would be PCNA so I am not sure if I would believe anything the dealer says. For the rear windshield crack claims PCNA...

Another thing to consider is that warranty on the pano roof will probably be voided if you add a film. So far I have not heard issues with Taycan's roof but the Ford Mach-e had a lot of cracked roofs already (check their forum) and Taycans have several cracked rear windshield. So who knows..

If you have a film installed on the inside the film itself absorbs radiation and the glass cannot transfer heat towards the cabin of the car. Thus the inside layers of the window get hotter than they would without the film. Regular glass can crack because of the stress added by the extra heat...

I have a lot of experience in adding films on the inside of dual pane windows and the heat is not reflected back out. The heat is trapped between the panes. If you go too dark and/or if there is too much heat the glass and the flanges around the glass break. Having said that, I am not sure how...

Is it installed on the outside or inside? If it inside the glass will get hot probably more than before since the heat will be trapped inside the glass. If it is outside what is its expected life and how easy is it to replace/remove it?

Yes the charging session can be stopped by anyone but I don't think they can remove the cable from the car without breaking the cable lock.

It is against federal law for dealers to release a new car to you without closing the recall. There is also a stop delivery document as part of the NHTSA packet. Here is the link https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2021/RCMN-21V486-8446.pdf

I live in Northern California. If the car stays under the afternoon summer sun for more than an hour (exterior temperature below 90 F) the roof gets hot. From the inside it is too hot to touch. The roof cloth liner around the glass is warm but not hot. The A/C keeps the cabin cool without...

Corrupted flash drive or memory sectors is another example of a hardware issue that is temporarily resolved by a reboot. The memory is cleared at reboot and the system works ok until it reaches again the corrupted sectors.

Next time do not reset it. Drive to the dealer while there is no audio to convince them it does not work. You probably need a new PCM.

Yesterday lady in her sixties in an old American SUV stopped next to me in a traffic light, she opened the window and said "I like your car". I thanked her and then she asked "What's the name of the model? Tuscon?" I said "yes Hyundai Tuscon" as the light turned green :)

I don't think that non-transferable free Supercharging is a screw up. The companies give incentives to people to buy their cars. Those incentives are no longer applicable to second owner. BMW also made their free 3-year service non-transferable. Btw, it is unclear if the free 3 year charging...

Trade-in as just "trade-in" without buying another car :) I have sold almost-new used cars to dealers before without buying anything from them. Sometimes it is the easiest way to sell an expensive almost-new car.

I think -15% and -$7500 (federal tax credit) is fair so $133k. The 15% really depends on how much inventory nearby dealers have and how much demand exists in your are. If there are no more Taycans in their lots then you can sell for more. You can also ask a dealer to give you a trade-in quote...

Exactly this. In addition they do not admit the Taycan is not capable of OTA updates except the infotainment system. They say they want to update the car at the authorized service center because the update is for powertrain components and they want to make sure everything is safe. They make it...

I only use it once a week usually at the weekend. It is at a location I happen to go for grocery shopping and I just plug in since I am there. But lately there are no available working stations depending on time of the day. That wasn't the case a few months ago. Btw I have 14-50 at home and...

The last couple of months I have started "competing" for the no more than 2 working stations at my earby EA location with a couple of Leafs, Mach-e and ID4s. I can foresee that the situation will only get worse when more of these hit the road plus the Etrons, the i4s iX3s, Lucid etc. All these...

Quick local update, they fixed #2 so right now 2/3 stations are working. I don't understand why they haven't fixed the other one e given that the EA crew came to the location twice (first time to yellow tape the station, second time to replace cable).
