    Rough trade estimate

    Yes currently driving my EV more than my ICE cars and with gas now $4.80 at some places...am not sad at having the opportunity. Glad made the move to the Taycan CT4 and moved my wife to a BMW hybrid X3 last summer now. Much less gas price vulnerability...

    Pano roof in hot climate Y or N

    Okay 1 month down. Still no heat related issues. Got tint also ceramic double layer 35% Pinnacle all around. Helps a lot and not much hotter than my prior Audi RS5 Sportback with panoramic roof also. Currently in tropical paradise of Hawaii...no issues.

    Easy to swap out the 4S front lip spoiler?

    Yes and when removing the front bumper...you do incur a recalibration that needs to be done when reconnecting the systems. $$$ Correct in that is recommended procedure from any body shop and Porsche. I had to have my 992 front bumper resprayed due to rock chip and parking lot scrap by...

    Shocking Lease quote from Porsche Usa

    . Yes I've leased tons of BMWs and always it was cheaper than buying. Tons of sales, incentives, and trunk money to be had. Maybe less so in current constrained environment but not like Porsche. Check out their new I4 M550 maybe as an alternative to the GTS? Given the allocation limitations...

    Share impact of Felicity Ace on your delivery date.

    Not a huge push to the right/delay. When did you get notified of the change? Via Track My Dream or separate notice from Porsche?

    Porsche update sent to us PCNA/Dealer personnel

    Nice to see they are trying to accomodate to the pending loss. but may if you have a car on that ship and have suffered not only a wait to order/allocation but production delay and also possibly a dealer ADM and now this? I'd probably be sick still and ask for a bit something more to be...

    Felicity Ace ship on fire in the Atlantic carrying Porsches

    Yeah...think Porsche should be able to replace the cars via normal production but this isn't normal time/market so wonder if shortages that currently are causing such delays will affect this and any efforts to make these customers whole and get replacement cars sooner versus later? That is a...

    Hood damage

    Yes ouch! That is what I was thinking too but a bit less. Had to do an Audi same...just bumper respray for minor curb rash and it was almost $4k. Once bumper is removed vehicle has to be recalibrated for safety systems. Had parking lot tap to my 992's bumper and a similar paint repair was...

    CT 4S Volcano Grey Gets XPEL Stealth PPF

    So how are these wraps doing over time? Look amazing but wonder cost vs durability? Have a Volcano Gray vehicle myself! :). Great minds think alike. LOL

    Will check for the new updated sensor also from my dealer.

    CT alarm issue, how common is it?

    Got my car on 24 Jan and so far have had this issue a few times the first week I had the car. Noticed the alarm message going off notifying me on my phone. Remote access didn't work either on the car when I tried. I removed/unconnected the car from my account then re-connected it and that...

    2020 4S to 2022 4S

    Correct in lots of your assumptions...chip situation will get better but over time so most predictions/thoughts are that 2022 will continue to see fluctuations in both pricing and inventory. Most think not till mid 2023 maybe early 2024 will see stabilization and possibly normalization in...

    What are my options?

    Congrats. Hope you're happy. Post pics and give your description of your car and experience. Welcome to the club.

    What are my options?

    Best choice as I don't think your dealer had anything to offer you at this point but a wait until the car was released to ship by Porsche. That could still be a while as no way to know why it was still delayed..parts? Defect found otherwise? However why not ship it while many a folks (like me)...

    Dashcam in a Taycan?

    Thanks for the info. May try the Thinkware Q800 Pro or Backview 900X next. Both seem to be comparable. :)

    Taycan owners - how happy with purchase?

    Okay just marked "very happy" only because I think the CT4S or GTS would have definitely been the sweetest spot for me for the Taycan CT model wise. The base car is very good and I am enjoying it but me thinks will end up upgrading in 3-4yrs next and will enjoy the car till then. It IS fast...

    Time from waitlist to allocation - your experience?

    Asked my dealer around May about the car after 1st hearing about it. Test drove a Taycan 4S in July and my dealer came across their 1st allocation due in Oct 2021 for an already spec'd car. Same color as what I wanted but a few things I didn't want (like off road areo package) so passed and was...

    What are my options?

    I'd take the 2022...you have no guarantee on when your car will be shipped to be honest and your dealer can easily check in with Porsche in 24hrs. So I'd give them 24hrs to give me a verified ship date and ship it is loaded on.. Otherwise they'd had enough time...I think you said its been there...

    Pano roof in hot climate Y or N

    Yep I am in Hawaii and sun all day..no problem keeping the car cool. I did get the inside tinted with 35% ceramic tint but the roof is fine. In the advent I needed it done could add a ceramic tint double film to block the heat like I did for my moonroof on my 991.1 when I lived in Phoenix, AZ...

    Dashcam in a Taycan?

    Hmm okay have a Thinkware Q800 Pro in my Carrera S and was thinking the same for the Taycan. But worried that the Dashcam will draw continuous power from the system and affect the Taycan's electronics and battery drain. Any concerns there? Also have the panoramic roof so not sure how much...
