    Is this standard marring?

    Looks pretty light, most polish compounds should work. Take it to a professional detailer.

    Yet another electrical system error - ARB6 software in action?

    I empathize. It’s a serious disruption to be without the car for long periods of time over these issues. My tolerance for driving loaners I don’t like is low.

    Air Conditioning not cooling. extended warranty failure

    I don’t have specific experience with Porsche extended warranty but this has been my reason for hesitation every time. I don’t trust it to come through when I need it.

    Latest episode update: Tom Voelk series on his pre-owned Taycan

    Please accept my apologies, as you've now commented more than once on the sushi comment :) I didn't mean any mean spirit by it. If anything, I was impressed by your bravery :)

    This 2026 GTS is interesting

    The one caution I have here: get a pre-purchase inspection from a shop that isn't invested in the sale. I no longer trust CPO as a gold-standard, as I bought a low-mile CPO that ended up a track car at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta. The expensive brakes were cooked.

    2026 Cayenne Coupe EV Debut!

    When I saw “coupe” I was ready to trade in right away, until I saw 4 doors. I want a two door.

    NHTSA Complaint - Explosion and fire while vehicle exterior was buffed - April 20, 2026

    It doesn’t matter. There is no reality where buffing the paint caused a battery fire. It was either unrelated, or some induced by some other shop accident.

    What Happens To Us After 8 Years? (When battery warranty expires)

    I’d look at getting a battery from a crashed Taycan.

    Lease -->PPF??

    I have a lot of questions as this hasn’t been my experience at all. I don’t doubt you though. - What PPF product was used? - Did the PPF have any inherent UV protection? - How long before it was replaced? - Any protection on the bare painted surfaces, ceramic or similar? - What color was the...

    This dude is really ambitious - I bought a wrecked Porsche Taycan (restoration project).

    That was pretty amazing, TBH. "I have no experience" and ends up doing a better job than Porsche centers I've used.

    Upgrade from MY2021 to MY2024

    I went from a 21 to a 23, then a 25. The 21-23 jump was a very incremental upgrade, and then only because I went from base to GTS. I'd really try for a 25 if you can, the J1.2 is a lot better.

    Are Porsche owners arrogant?

    I never buy a car (or anything else) for other people. I couldn’t care less what people think.

    Are Porsche owners arrogant?

    I went to Porsche Palooza in Arkansas one year in a Taycan. It was about 50/50 between interested people with questions, and muttered sneers.

    Tyre brand for Taycan - poor longevity with current

    I run the electric p zeros now. They last around 11-12k at most.

    Exceptional charging performance, or just the Taycan norm?

    Yeah!! Team battery hostile!

    How to sell your Taycan ?

    Not at all. Take it to a Porsche dealer and ask them for a “buy bid.” Unless they don’t want the inventory they will make you an offer. It won’t be as good as the secondary market.
