Yes, I was quoted anywhere from $1.5-$2K for out of state delivery, in addition to destination charges. This was definitely negotiable even if the price of the car was not. I have a list of dealers and contacts, but I did not pursue custom builds and allocations through them. I ran into the...

None of the Bay Area dealers were able to hold onto their inventory for long. Often I'd call about a car and it was already sold almost immediately after it hit the website. This probably happened 4-5 times. I was agnostic about color, but the specs I wanted were probably highly sought after. I...

Best dealers I've spoken to so far: Stevens Creek (San Jose) and Walnut Creek. I've also heard many good things about Marin. These folks seem to have good allocations and are generally responsive. I have not had as a great an experience with Fremont or Livermore. Neither one seems to get many...

yeah it's clear that Tesla is doing limited R&D now, except on the interior tech and the ever elusive self driving AI. Seems like most of their investment is focused on increasing manufacturing capacity on the lower end Model 3 and Model Y. Every other manufacturer is playing catch up and...

It wasn't clear to me if you could do faster charging with a NEMA 14-50 outlet with the PMC+. Seemed like it only supported slow 3 prong A/C charging. Is this correct? Either way, I wanted a charger on the wall to charge at home within 4 hours, with something smaller for the road.

Doug DeMuro posted his review of the Tesla Model S Plaid here: If you're at all tempted by the Plaid, it's worth watching. I like his reviews, especially as he goes through the quirks of each car's interior. I would have liked to see a bit more information on the yoke steering experience too...

This has been a super helpful thread, thanks all who participated! I'm getting a 2021 Taycan 4S delivered in a few weeks so I've been trying to figure out what my garage charging setup will look like. My car was not spec'd with PMCC, and I looked at other charging options but nearly everything...

Chiming in on this since I finally found a 2021 Taycan off a lot in Florida and it's supposedly shipping to me in a few weeks. I got them to discount shipping to me (I'm in California) but they would not budget on the price of the car. Inventory has been tough on the Taycan (especially 4S). I...

While I generally agree with you, there is a reason to raise awareness of what's on the table in bills regarding EVs while we can. Senators will change their mind if enough of their constituents and donors make a big fuss about an amendment.

Tesla service quality largely depends on where you live and how much traffic they get, because there's no standard that the service centers are held to and they haven't really expanded enough to meet the growing service needs of a large customer base. Where I live in the SF Bay Area, my friends...

It's a novelty and something unique about the car, but I don't think it's worth the cost and labor to add it to a car that doesn't come with it. If it's a DIY project in a few years that you want to tackle on your own when the car is out of warranty, then that might be fun. But I definitely...

Agree with this list. Premium package, ACC, Sport Chrono, Sport Sound, and Perf Battery are all must haves. The only other option which improves resale beyond this appears to be the Mission E wheels. I have been watching the 2020 Taycan 4S used market over the past few weeks, and the cars...

Anyone using Walnut Creek or Livermore dealerships? I've found the sales teams to be friendly, but would like to understand if either is good for service.

Clearly touched a nerve with some of the folks here who really love the interior of the Taycan and likely won't find any fault with it. I'd love to see if the matte material changes my impression, but I just felt that 5 years of messing with those tiny plastic switches is likely going to result...

Congrats on your purchase. Sounds like you got a pretty good deal, and most notably you're enjoying the car. Definitely makes sense to roll with it for a couple years and then custom build a new one with exactly what you want. You'll learn all the quirks of the car this way. The dealers are...

To be clear, a Taycan 4S can be spec'd to reach parity with the GT's standard features below $130K. You need the following: Premium package plus a few interior extras like heated seats, 2+1 rear seating, 4 zone climate, etc. 93 kWh battery LCA I added the Performance package, nicer wheels...

Gunner, I'm curious what you decided to do. I'm in the exact same boat about a month later. Plenty of 2020 Turbo demo cars are around still, and I'm hearing people are negotiating big discounts. One person I know purchased for 20% off MSRP, it was untitled so he got the tax rebate, and the...

I've sat in plenty of cars, including Bentley and S class Mercedes. I don't think you can compare these interiors to a Taycan. Nor should you, personal taste or otherwise. Each to his or her own.

Just these side controls is what I'm referring to. These feel like cheap, glossy plastic and felt flimsy, small and not as ergonomic. The shifter also felt like something that would break. I suspect the ergonomics are also worse for someone with large hands as well. Totally understand that the...

Forum newbie here, but I thought I would chime in as it looks like not many in the USA have been able to actually test drive both the e-Tron GT and the Taycan and do a close comparison. This is going to be a longer read, but the TL;DR is that the Taycan still wins out for me due to the driving...
