Spoke to my dealer, apparently I had bad information thinking my car was in Jacksonville, FL waiting on the TPMS. It was actually still in Emden, Germany with a hold until we got an update this morning.
It is now enroute across the Atlantic, but we have no idea what parts on it maybe missing...
That makes sense. I definitely see a big drop in pricing for non-CPO used Taycans that are starting to make their way to non-Porsche dealers. These often have significant discounts off MSRP.
You probably know more than I do about these auctions! Only repeating what I've heard from sales managers. I assumed the Porsche dealers had some kind of internal system where these trades are being made.
I definitely know of one trade for 2020 Gentian Blue which I don't believe had many miles...
Given that I purchased my car through an out of state dealer, and it's being delivered to them prior to coming to me, I'm a bit worried about the dealer installed parts coming afterwards, even if they can legally do it.
It seems like I might need to wait until the car is fully assembled at the...
Dealers are auctioning off the highly optioned Taycans for sure. I tracked one 4S which was highly optioned to $157K MSRP. It was a customer build that someone backed out of. It was built in the Pacific Northwest, and they would not budget enough on the price, but ended up selling it to another...
How many of you are thinking of canceling your order and going for something off the lot or a used Taycan?
Dealers are well aware and taking advantage by price gouging. I had a dealer this morning try to sell a used 2021 4S at $3K above MSRP. It had been titled, but returned after 3 months.
My sales guy at Suncoast Porsche in FL just got back to me today.
I'm officially in the "Delayed by TPMS" club with the rest of y'all. My 2021 4S was scheduled for delivery on 9/2 and it's now delayed to 9/24. It's sitting in the Jacksonville port now with all the other Taycans.
I just called...
Incentives for pro reviewers are often skewed towards making brands look better, until the reviewer is so well known and respected, that they can't be bought. But no brand really wants to support the rise of such a reviewer, which is why they are pretty rare.
That's why for years, I've relied...
Yeah I've heard the tech argument before, and as someone who works in the Tech industry, I don't buy into it. I think too many people get enamored by shiny tech and ignore systematic quality and service issues, wasting both money and mental energy on both.
If I want to watch a movie in my...
I used Porsche Finder for a while before realizing the data was pretty stale. Many of the cars I called about (used and new) were already sold and off the dealer's websites when I called about them.
Oddly, I had more luck with autotrader.com than I did with Porsche's website. Cars showed up...
Thanks for the tip! I just called them and they told me the vehicle is in the Jacksonville, FL port, slated for delivery on 9/3. I asked if it may delay due to TPM and the rep told me there is no hold on the vehicle currently which would indicate that it's likely to deliver on time.
New to having a dashcam but it seems like it's a must have now.
That FitcamX hardware looks very clean on the installation and the price is really great compared to the OEM Porsche dashcam.
However, it looks like the software is definitely not as friendly and having to switch to it's wifi...
Planning to get the windows tinted on my Taycan 4S when it arrives and I'm curious what tint level people recommend on the front and sides. I understand the state limit on the front is 70% which is crazy high to me, coming from states that were 35% or less and far less sunny. Also I think it...
Nope, I'm just getting direct updates from my sales guy over text when I ask him. I'll see if he can give me access to TYD or forward it to me with the details. He told me it was still on a boat so it mine may not have arrived yet.
It's possible they will deliver all of these to the dealership...
The car has not been delivered to them yet, but I purchased from them when it was showing incoming on their website. They had ordered it, I believe. I actually had to decide quickly because another dealer wanted to get it from them so I had to put a deposit down about 3 weeks ahead of its...
Some dealers will actually have customer built cars that were ordered enter their website because their system shows every incoming car, regardless of whether it's going to enter their actual sales inventory or not. My guess is they do this ahead of time in case a customer cancels an order so...
Agree with everyone else. The Lucid Air is not attractive and at $170K+, having an attractive exterior design is really table stakes.
Many things in this review don't add up at all. If anything, it sounds like a better version of the Model S Plaid.
I don't see how anything so heavy and so...
I agree, there are definitely options on certain trims that you will not be able to get via inventory, unless the car is really heavily optioned at a very high price. If you're set on having those options, then it's best to find a way to make a custom build happen, especially since no one is...
