I didn't see anything in the ToS discouraging this sort of post, but if it is deemed inappropriate, I apologize in advance. I have not received any sort of compensation for writing this, and it is completely unsolicited. I just wanted to show some love for the experience I recently had with...

I was anticipating that the color would be completely user-selectable, but it isn't. There are only a handful of preset shades to choose from, and a mode where you let it randomly change around loosely based on the album cover of music or something, which is usually the setting that I leave it...

I deliberately chose the metal roof for several reasons: * lighter * more damage resistant * glass roof is way more expensive to repair/replace * wanted more violet to look at The ambient lighting is nice, but I would not consider it remotely essential.

If you read the service bulletin, there are big flashing warnings about how the control units can be bricked if the voltage deviates from a fairly strict range during reprogramming. I would expect that is why it needs to be done under controlled conditions. I just had this campaign done while...

If you have an OBDII dongle, it might be worth connecting it to the Taycan and seeing if it gives you any useful hints. This allowed me to provide my dealer with information that greatly streamlined the diagnosis, to the point where they were able to order necessary parts within hours of me...

Yes, but find your own installer, don't just blindly go with whoever the dealer uses.

I guess about all I can say is that I really hope you are wrong, because if you're right, humanity is pretty much doomed. Treating something that uses up as many resources as an automobile as a disposable commodity just makes me nauseous.

I am @f1eng's doppelganger from the future and across the globe. My spouse was looking to replace her 15-year-old Honda Accord, and when we looked at all the options last year, the Prius seemed to be the best fit. She put her name on a waiting list, and the dealer said they didn't really have...

If you're planning on getting PPF done, your installer will remove all the badges, so if you'd like to turn them into jewelry or something, that would be another option - let it be there, have the detailing people just give it to you instead of putting it back on. I almost forgot to get my rear...

If you're willing to consider a MY24, here's what my slate seats look like:

Was looking forward to having a sister car here, but I'm really glad that y'all found something that you really like.

I'm likely one of the few folks here that just doesn't like leather, and boy am I glad I got the Gen 1 Race-Tex seat covers. The "pepita/houndstooth" is way too busy for my eyes, perhaps because the contrast between the two colors is just really stark. I would feel like I was sitting on a...

I would recommend getting a quote for simply having the L2 charger wired directly to your panel, instead of going outlet. One less thing to go wrong and you can get a higher amperage charger if you wish.

For the sake of my marriage and bank account, let's hope they just retire it. I'm still waiting for the first person to either (a) ask me if it's a wrap or (b) walk up and address my by my forum handle. One of you has to have seen me in the wild by now. So far the best reaction has been the...

Naturally, I'm digging the Purple Sky Metallic. I wonder if it will become a PTS color on the lesser trims.

I note that you're also in California. If I had this to do over, I would have ordered different weather for the first few months of Taycan ownership. But I am very happy every time I come home after driving through 60MPH wind gusts driving diagonal rain and forest debris at me, seeing the car...

@daveo4EV Thank you so much for everything. I devoured every wall of text you threw up here or on other sites. We get down over the hill to Santa Cruz now and again (will be there in just a couple of weeks, actually), and I've always wanted to tell this to you in person if the stars ever...

This suggestion is somewhere in the "getting hit by lightning" range of likelihood, but just to throw it out there: maybe the cars that don't have the sideview had their mirrors removed at some point by either an unqualified tech or somebody who forgot to reenable the sideview module in software...

A substantial part of it was philosophy for me. I feel leasing feeds into the culture of disposable planned obsolescence, and I didn't want to do that.

If you'd like to feel any better about your decision, I deliberately wanted a MY24 on the theory that the final year before a relatively major model change is most likely to have fewer problems necessitating service visits.
