    Heard one loud clunk noise and then this-What does this mean?

    Had a similar situation. Parked it and walked away for 10 minutes. It was clear when I came back.

    Need Advice On Lease/Buy/Skip for First Porsche (C.P.O. 2023 Taycan Turbo S, Cross Turismo), ASAP!

    I would lease. The residual value of Gen 1’s will continue to be pressed downward by advances in batteries and the optimization of their related software. BTW, I do miss massaging seats. That said, the seats are just as comfortable as the big seats in a Cayenne.

    Need Advice On Lease/Buy/Skip for First Porsche (C.P.O. 2023 Taycan Turbo S, Cross Turismo), ASAP!

    Third seat is a joke. Under 12” wide, uncomfortable and sized for a Lilliputian. Not a big pivot point for a buyer, IMO. The 150kw option is an interesting option. I was concerned my Turbo came without it, but have never seen an issue with charging where the KW rate at different charge...

    Need Advice On Lease/Buy/Skip for First Porsche (C.P.O. 2023 Taycan Turbo S, Cross Turismo), ASAP!

    If you’re looking for loaded options be sure to keep that warranty in place and plan on some shop time. The techs are still learning as they go and the more complex setup, the more likely it’s going to end up with them at some point. i understand your thinking. Night vision would be an...

    Need Advice On Lease/Buy/Skip for First Porsche (C.P.O. 2023 Taycan Turbo S, Cross Turismo), ASAP!

    I agree with Caraholic. The difference between a Turbo S and a Turbo can only be felt in launch mode, IMO.

    The (expected) ARB7 recall letter comes (my THIRD open recall...)

    Yep. Got mine yesterday as well. Add that to the brake line recall (parts pending).

    Pano glass crack

    I put PPF on the outside of the pano roof. Can’t tell it’s there. So far, no hits. I thought about the windshield and my highly trusted installer advised against it. Told me wiper scratches could be a problem.

    Please copy and paste the survey link. I didn't get a survey and I assume others didn't as well. We should ALL weigh in on this.

    Buying advise: 2024 Porsche Taycan base CPO

    Doesn't seem like a bargain for a base 4. I'd look for a 2022-23 4S or higher with low miles. You can probably find one in the same price range. CPO is not that big a deal. As long as the original warranty is still in effect, you can buy a Porsche Platinum Extended warranty.

    Can we have some more battery threads please 😁

    Outstanding idea. Likely ZERO chance Porsche will implement it. :-(

    Taycan Turbo vs. Taycan 4S

    No contest. Get the 2021 Turbo. I had a new 2023 4S on order during "heater-gate" and it was built without a heater and parked at the Emden port for months. Cancelled the order and bought my used 2021 Turbo. Great car. Acceleration and handling are fine for daily driving and the reserve...

    CarPlay music stops after Siri speaks

    Yes, on occasion. No correlation to what triggers it. Seems to be purely timing. I suspect any potential fix is software-related and on a bug list somewhere.

    General inspection due

    Just got the same notice. Anyone out there have info on this? Whoops! Answered my own question: Go to "Smart Service" in your car's PCM (or "Predictive Maintenance"), click on the "Inspection" tab, click on "General Service" and then set the expiration date. I just pushed mine out a year.

    Battery Module Replacement Begins

    Interesting, Mike. I got my heater recall a month ago, made an appointment for today and got a call last night from the tech. Told me they didn’t have the part and Porsche had a company-wide “out of stock” situation.

    EA - how often is free charging working for you?

    About 90% success. The few times I was charged, I called EA and was given a credit back.

    Depreciation of the 2025 Taycan

    I agree completely. A Taycan out of warranty is a ticking expense bomb. Maybe pull the wheels, stand them on end and use them as a storage battery.?

    Porsche NA delays reimbursement payment for charger replacement

    There’s certainly a legal hand in the process. My check came via FedEx overnight with a signature required. Overkill unless you’re a lawyer.
