    From Taycan Dreams to Plaid Realities: My Electrifying Pivot

    If that doesn't work, you could maybe try a spa; they must be familiar with soap.

    What a beautiful car..

    Thanks for bringing this up. I contemplated doing so, but figured it was best left to somebody who was actually from an English-speaking country.

    You forgot to ask about the entrance fee.

    🎨 PTS: PAINT TO SAMPLE Taycan Club & Photos Thread

    My plan there is to buy a couple of stanchions and a velvet rope and just hire people to come hang out in my garage.

    How to wash ppf + ceramic coating ?

    My installer has made some videos that I find pretty approachable, and might perhaps be of some use to you: https://bayareadetails.com/rinseless-wash-ocdetailing/

    🎨 PTS: PAINT TO SAMPLE Taycan Club & Photos Thread

    This probably says more about my color perception or lack thereof than it does about the actual paint, but if I passed either of those on the street, I would simply assume they were Frozen Blue.

    What a beautiful car..

    I'm with @f1eng again in that matrix headlights are the only thing I wish I hadn't dropped, but I'm going to guess that the lack of barking from this particular marketing dog so far suggests that they still won't be factory-enabled in USA on the MY25s. I also think that @WasserGKuehlt nailed...

    Gen 1 Taycan - what issues did people run into?

    I'm saying that if you can't let go of the concern over devaluation, now is probably a pretty bad time to buy an electric Porsche, and that's probably not going to change much any time soon. How long you keep the car is something that only you can answer, but I went into this eyes wide open. I...

    Gen 1 Taycan - what issues did people run into?

    It might be a worthwhile exercise to think about whether you would derive enough personal utility out of those three years with the vehicle to make you forget about this goal, or at least chuck it a fair ways down the priority list. If not, try reading a handful of random threads here that come...

    So are 'new' Turbo S Taycans essentially unsalable at present?

    Well aware that this risks skating dangerously close to political territory, both macroeconomics and aggregate microeconomics (sort of Asimov's "psychohistory" for econ nerds) tend to see fairly significant lag effects. So a policy change that happens now may not be felt in the marketplace for...

    So are 'new' Turbo S Taycans essentially unsalable at present?

    I hope everybody (not just Porsche) starts getting off of that viewpoint, because rapid obsolescence damages a lot of the environmental benefits of weaning ourselves away from fossil fuels in the first place.

    Remove the 25% minimum charge

    Thanks for reporting this, because I wasn't willing to rely on this. I plugged the car in while the power was still out to the house, because the utility said it would come back on around 2300. When that happened, I was still awake, and went to go check on the situation. There was a flashing red...

    Remove the 25% minimum charge

    Serves me right. The only time I've been below 25% so far, my house was out of power.

    Remove the 25% minimum charge

    As @Murph7355 suggests, one viable "solution" here is to deactivate all profiles and only have one timer. I set mine arbitrarily as if I am going to leave at 5AM and want 85%. Pick a time near the end of your "cheap power" window, and you should see: car only charges using cheap power you can...

    Sideview cameras

    What I was trying to say before was this, except @W1NGE did it more clearly.

    To ceramic coat PPF or not to

    Thanks for the offer. I am (at least so far) very happy with the results I have gotten. My installer was gracious enough to come across the bay the day after Christmas to meet me at the dealer and help me go through the pre-handover inspection on the car (despite my declining the...

    To ceramic coat PPF or not to

    I think you might owe part of it to the color. I had forgotten how much dirt shows on dark colors. When I was in high school, my father had a pimptastic black Buick Century with a dark violet plush interior. It attracted dust like a Swiffer. That being said, "rinseless" washes don't use very...

    Kyle shows you: "How To Option The New 2025 Porsche Taycan"

    Of course it is, and since another poster has enlightened me that this Kyle fellow also agrees with me that a purple exterior is another universal "must", I have completely changed my opinion on this entire topic, and am now going down to the local courthouse to either marry Kyle if he is still...

    Any hopes for prior Taycan's for significant upgrade?

    Boldface added to set up the following: One Texan is bragging to another about the size of his ranch. He says "pardner, I wake up at sunrise, get in my truck, drive until sundown and still haven't left my land". Other Texan says "yep, had me a truck like that once".

    To ceramic coat PPF or not to

    I stressed out about various brands of films and coatings for a while, and then I read something that cut through all the chaff: "concentrate on choosing the installer, and then let the installer you trust choose the materials". I'm sure XPEL in the hands of a good installer who's familiar with...
