    Back seats 2+1

    Exactly. It is not the same as the Panamera which looks much better in between the 2 rear seats. Obviously it is all a personal decision, but the 2+1 looks more finished with the extra leather. The storage shell is useless. Nothing will stay put when you drive the Taycan like a Porsche.

    Issues with car post WLG2 Campaign software updates and 12v battery

    They really don't have a clue about the basics of EV vehicles. I hard wired a radar detector this week. The fuses have a protective cover that is hard to remove. I called the service department for help. The guy on the phone freaked out when I said I was doing something with the 12V battery...

    Ceramic coating noob questions

    When I lived in Denver, my prior car was in a parking garage (no access to water). I was skeptical to use a waterless car wash spray on - wipe off product. If you follow the instructions and don't have chunks of caked on debris, it works very well without leaving scratches. I keep a few...

    Ceramic coating noob questions

    In a pinch I have used the brushless car washes. Just let them know that it has PPF so that they don't manually scrub the hood and front end with the hand brushes at the beginning of the wash.

    NEMA 14-50 Supply cable heat data

    M My plug temp was also 145F (similar to @KenU). The flat portion was cooler. The biggest difference between our readings was the supply cable right above the plug. Mine was about 133F. In light of the fact that both garages are very warm, most of the temps don't seem too bad if the limit...

    Issues with car post WLG2 Campaign software updates and 12v battery

    I had mine updated today. It took about 6 hours. No issues so far. I had to relink Apple Music, reconfigure the instrument display to my previous selections, and redo the seat memory settings.

    NEMA 14-50 Supply cable heat data

    I took some temperature readings earlier today. The ambient air temperature in the garage was 89F (31.6C) in hot Atlanta. The PMCC was pulling between 39.7-39.9 amps. The temperatures were stable after 2 hours. The hottest temperature was the 14-50R plug where it met the outlet. I was still...

    Ceramic coating noob questions

    I use a snow foam cannon attached to the power washer with a rinse with deionized water. You need to be careful if there are edges on the PPF that might lift if you hit it too hard with the pressure washer.

    Ceramic coating noob questions

    On my Aston, I have the XPEL and ceramic coating on the entire car. The XPEL seal healing still works with the ceramic. Please keep in mind that ceramic needs annual maintenance. I brought mine in for a decontamination and booster application (price was cheap - $150)

    Depreciated Value

    In reality no one needs a daily driver at these price points. All of us as early adopters are paying sticker price or close to sticker. We are all subject to a big hit from the bells and whistles but also because there was little room to negotiate the price we paid. I ordered the car with the...

    Tinting Windows

    GA tint limit for light transmission is 32% for the side and rear, so 35% or higher is legal.

    Ceramic coating noob questions

    I would avoid commercial car washes. Hand washing is better for the film. If you have the XPEL Ultimate, it is a self healing film. If you have some minor blemishes or etching from bird dropping you can heat up some water in the microwave and then immerse a paper towel in the hot water and...

    Radar/Laser Detectors - Hardwired

    Laser in the rear really depends on what the PD does in Florida as far as aiming at front (much more common in most states) or rear (including from overpasses). I decided to pass on installing laser shifters on my Taycan because in Georgia the Dragon Eye lasers are very common. WIthout the TX...

    Tinting Windows

    Any thing between 70% and 80% for the front windshield looks clear. It looks like nothing is there. No issues with night vision. I have 35% on the side windows and the rear window. The nano ceramic really helps with the heat rejection through the windshield (and the other windows). The...

    ~1000km in Mamba Green Taycan Turbo S

    Same here. Every time I drive my Mamba Green beast, I get compliments on the color. I had an early build so there weren't many Porsche Exclusive items available to customize the car. I have the black leather interior. If I ordered it today, in addition to the interior trim in Mamba Green (I...

    Depreciated Value

    I don't know if these numbers have changed, but back in April when I got my car these were the numbers, including the MRM (Maximum Residualized MSRP) which is the limit that I think you are referring to. With Porsche Financial Services, the residual on the 4S for a 39 month lease is 49% for 10k...

    Tinting Windows

    I had the rear window tinted with 35% nano ceramic film. The installer did it without any issues. He did not need to remove the glass. The only thing he temporarily removed were the rear headrests to give himself more space. I also had the front windshield tinted with "clear" 75% nano...

    NEMA 14-50 Supply cable heat data

    I had an electrician install a 50A breaker today as well as the 14-50R outlet for the Porsche Mobile Charger Connect. The electrician used 6 gauge wire from the panel to the outlet. When I plugged in the car, the PMCC started to charge at 39.7-39.9 amps. The supply cable DID NOT get hot even...
