    718 Cayman new pics

    Gorgeous. I'm hoping for 150-200 miles of range, <=3,600#, RWD with at least 450 horsepower, and enough room for my work luggage in the hatch.

    Study: Less than 1% of EV owners would go back to full gas-powered vehicles... would you?

    Any scenario where I want to travel that distance? I don’t really understand the question.

    Study: Less than 1% of EV owners would go back to full gas-powered vehicles... would you?

    I don't foresee ever buying another new ICE vehicle. Every part of the EV ownership/driving experience is better than ICE, except for long road trips...which are why airplanes exist. I still want a 2-door EV. Porsche needs to get the Cayman EV to market.

    Costco - Now providing 350kw DC Charging Stations

    Two things.... 1. How long will the lines be for these chargers, once Costco offers a 1-cent discount per KW/h to members? Look at the queues to buy gasoline there for reference. 2. While I welcome more fast DCFC's, Costco isn't the destination that needs them. For the money spent installing...

    "Test Proves Porsche Taycan Is The Best Road-Trip EV" - Article

    All those 350 KW dispensers wouldn't matter in the US, as they'd be clogged up for hours by Chevy Bolts charging at a max rate of 55 KW.

    Need Advice on Purchasing 2023 CPO vs 2025

    Thanks for sharing more information. I think you're still looking at another 50% depreciation in two years, on a 2023 with a starting price of $123k. In any event you'll do better that we have/will...paying MSRP for a 2023 early last year. One can fix a lot of stuff on a used Taycan for a $60k...

    Need Advice on Purchasing 2023 CPO vs 2025

    I wonder why rent a 2023 for $46k for two years, when I could buy a 2020 Turbo well optioned with low miles for $70k?

    Underbody Protection Panel damaged. Batteries and coolant lines need inspection. $72.5K replacement & labor cost. Dealership is Tom Wood in Indiana

    There's likely a "test drive clause" you agreed to when you took the car in for service. I think that's pretty common with vehicle service.

    Underbody Protection Panel damaged. Batteries and coolant lines need inspection. $72.5K replacement & labor cost. Dealership is Tom Wood in Indiana

    My understanding is the battery pack doesn't span the entire floorboard in this vehicle...it resides mostly behind the seats. That would help limit exposure to unfortunate events you've been subjected to. Crickets on the Boxter/Cayman EV. It seems more and more it's not going to be released...

    EVs not such a good deal in Texas…

    It does help to compare using premium gasoline prices. You’re not fueling anything with more than 300 horsepower with 87 octane gasoline.

    On off button on Taycan dangerous?

    No...2 1/2 years and 20k miles on our e-tron's original wipers, without issues.

    My 2025 Taycan arrived.

    Congratulations and enjoy! @Iluvcarats

    Underbody Protection Panel damaged. Batteries and coolant lines need inspection. $72.5K replacement & labor cost. Dealership is Tom Wood in Indiana

    FWIW, my understanding is the Boxter/Cayman EV, whenever it finally is released, will not be using a "skateboard" style battery pack, so undertray damage shouldn't cause these issues.

    Underbody Protection Panel damaged. Batteries and coolant lines need inspection. $72.5K replacement & labor cost. Dealership is Tom Wood in Indiana

    I have a 2-post lift at home so it would probably be pretty easy to replace the tray myself. If I didn't have a lift and I was in this position, I'd agree to pay a reasonable diagnostic fee of <$500, have the car and under tray loaded on a flatbed, and delivered to my home, where I'd pull it...

    EV's vs PHEV's - what makes sense in the next 10 years?

    IMO any car is the wrong tool for Cincinnati-Philadelphia.

    Note to self...take Taycan to independent body shop to have any dents removed from the skidpan before taking to Porsche for service.
