    HELP! Just scuffed my alloys what shall I do!

    I guess I'm the only one who just never checks for scuffs. Ignorance is bliss. ?

    Range complaint posts ❓

    Apologies for the hubris of linking to one of my own dramatic posts, but this is my opinion of range banter.

    I'm done....cant do it anymore

    I don't understand something, or I may have missed it. I realize you're far from the Porsche shop, but has anyone looked at it at all? Like, if it's a Lemon I think it has to have had a failed repair a certain number of times, depending on state laws. If you can't ever take your Porsche in...

    Life's too short...

    I just love the positivity and spirit in this thread. It's not an immature display of "YOLO" but people who truly appreciate what they have. Barely a day into owning my 4S I said to my husband, "Why didn't I buy my Porsche 10 years ago!!?" and the answer was obvious that the money wasn't...

    Dealer trade in values

    Right, and I think perception is important in marketing! I doubt if I drove up to school in a Panamera I'd get even a tenth of the reaction my Taycan elicits, if any at all. But the 911 and Boxster? Sure. But even if "older guys" buy 'em or are driving them, I don't think they're perceived...

    Dealer trade in values

    Of course I understand the financial aspect. I guess I should have then specified that I was wondering in relation to other Porsche model buyers. I'm in my local PCA so I totally get the older guy thing, but I just don't see the Taycan in general as "older guy." If anything, I see the...

    Dealer trade in values

    What on Earth!?!? I'm not claiming to be "young" but I'm not a guy and my car is a party on wheels. Kids of all ages fight to get a ride and seriously still talk about it days to months later (I get the hearsay from my kids). It gets waaaaaay more attention from young people (mostly guys...

    New 3rd Party Taycan specific Soft Closing Door Mechanism

    Funny, I couldn't remember if it was just something I cheaped out on or wasn't available, because I cannot tell you how many times I go to drive and see a door is open. It's not me, obviously, it's every passenger I've ever transported (and they seem to be multiplying exponentially). I'm at...

    Welcome to Normal Depreciation

    Good God I am 5 out of 6 of those. Only one I didn't break is caring about a Facelift because I think the car is gorgeous as it is and I'm usually disappointed by the majority of car facelifts. But here's wisdom I didn't ignore... a new car is not an investment!

    Brake wear vs. frequency of charging

    That's me. I charge it when I remember, and I still can't decide which of the 3 regen modes I want when, so I just play around randomly. I'm now starting to notice when the breaking is electric because yeah, it just slows down. Maybe that's the reason. When I drive the only thing that's...

    Taycan Sun Visor Safety Notice Matte Vinyl Covers

    Blah, I tried making blackberry ones for mine a few months ago. Ordered vinyl in various dark purple shades which all sucked. Then I tried to color match and bought some leather texture graphics on etsy and started wasting tons of ink on test prints. Everything ended up looking worse than the...

    Depreciation

    Congrats! That is actually the car on my husband's radar when he goes EV... I keep telling him, "Not this year!!" Enjoy :)

    Depreciation

    Wow! That is an excellent data point to have, thanks for sharing it! This historical info, especially pre-pandemic tells you all you need to know. Knowing there was no way a lease on this car would make sense I never looked up the residuals and just figured a .50-.52 in my mind. But wow...

    New Porsche batteries coming with 800 mile range

    Now that I have my car and drive it as often as possible, I've been revisiting this phenomenon of "range anxiety." Do you think there's a positive correlation between people who have range anxiety, or even over preoccupation with range, and those who keep/kept their gas tank above half full...

    And you chose a $230k Porsche? ?

    Any reported fire or fire risk

    Call me a safety mom, but I don't think "fool proof" and "cars" should ever be in the same sentence, regardless of power source.

    Anyone going back to a Tesla?

    Thank you for clarifying that it gives you an ability to disable the auto-opening on the spot. I had a safety concern, not a brand concern.

    What does how you hold the steering wheel say about you?

    That's funny, I move all around the first few, but mostly 10/2. But one is missing... I went on a date with a guy a gazillion years ago and I'll never forget the way he held the steering wheel. I didn't even drive yet at the time (NYC) but it freaked me out. He had both hands next to each...

    Anyone going back to a Tesla?

    Sorry, but I don't like this whole "it should just happen" thing and I don't think it's a fair criticism. Sometimes tech stuff "just happens" and causes all sorts of other problems. I want some flexibility. If anything, my Taycan gives me too much, with so many air conditioning directions and...
