One trick I have learned about service loaner Macans is that the customers prior to me don't add the recommended fuel for the models that take high octane. If I have the loaner long enough to drain the tank, I notice it performs better when I add high octane for those models that call for it...

The caveman part of my brain wants to know: did you check that all your lug nuts are tight?

My friend's 17 year old son is a private pilot, meaning he earned the trust to fly an expensive plane alone. I let him drive my Taycan and do launch control starts. It's terrible to hold back an individual just because their peers have a bad reputation.

When I was seventeen, in the early '80s, my best friend's parents had Mazda RX7s, super torque-y with manual transmissions. My friend got to drive them and I savor the memories being the passenger. I think they trusted him because our parents also had boats we would take out on long sails...

You can "trust but verify" your son's driving with the My Porsche app and your insurance company's app (this one is from USAA):

If you are going to PPF your Taycan, you can combine that with a color change: https://www.gwdmv.com/color-change-paint-protection-film That website belongs to @Adrian@GlasWerksDMV, a member of this forum. Here's his thread about the Taycan color change shown below...

Thanks for the inside perspective! Do you anticipate that independent shops are, or soon will be, ready to service the full range of Taycan issues? I am anxious to have service visits where the technician is really happy to spend as much time as is necessary to troubleshoot and service my Taycan.

I checked out the warranties sold by the Porsche dealerships and ended up going with XCelerate Auto (XCare). No claims yet, but I experienced great communication when I was researching them, and they are familiar with warranty needs specific to EVs.

Haha yes, they cleaned the rest of the seat after taking that contrast photo.

Check out Gyeon leather treatment (professionally applied). This photo was taken by forum member @Adrian@GlasWerksDMV about 40,000 miles after his team applied Gyeon. They said it was very easy to clean. This is Olea leather in Atacama beige by the way, and I took no special precautions to keep...

I’m at 54,123 miles, so not quite your target audience. My Taycan was manufactured July 2020, so almost five years ago. Warranty repairs include new HV battery, new radiator fans/shroud, new brake lines, and new software, which brought them up to the newer designs. That plus the inside and...

I'm sure you know this, but for others: night vision assist functions in the background so you do not need to display it in the instrument cluster. https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/feature-request.17782/post-274066

A few years back when Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones were banned by the airlines because the batteries randomly caught fire, someone with your sense of humor made this:

As @Tooney and @Flying ace said, one increment of the EVSE recall is APB6. Note that Porsche initially provided "backwards" NEMA replacement cables, and then phased them out in favor of correctly designed cables. Personally, I'm refusing the recall until my dealership depletes their supply of...

Surely those fans enable the Spéirling to double as a street cleaner? I wonder where it deposits the debris. ?
