True, I also thought about why I'm suffering the consequence for someone else's mistake—Not to mention the other driver didn't have insurance. But I guess that's how life works. I hope your friend will get his Taycan back soon.
Update:
Approaching 5.5 months since the accident. The trunk piece is finally finished. The battery and rear drivetrain had to be removed for the trunk repair. Now it’s just waiting for the final assembly of the rear bumper, interior finishes, paint, and motor calibration. Hopefully, it will not...
Based on the body shop's explanation, it's mostly the “restricted parts” from Porsche that they are waiting on. I'm not completely clear on what considers as a “restricted parts,” perhaps any body panels that are made from stamped or fabricated aluminum or other types of metal, and what about...
Yeah, I heard similar stories about Tesla’s long repair time due to parts. I just didn't expect that from Porsche, especially since I had a few repairs done on my other Porsches before, and it was usually a couple of weeks' worth of ordeal at best, but I guess that's the new normal now.
Yeah, the rental coverage was definitely a big concern to me. I have USAA insurance, so their service is generally pretty good. They said due to the limitation in parts availability; they will cover the rental cost for the entire repair duration (thank goodness).
Soon it’ll be 4 months since I turned my car in for a minor rear-end collision accident occurred on 1/21. The final estimate comes out to be around $20k, plus the cost of car rental. The reason I was given for the delay is the limited availability of parts, especially the “restricted parts” from...
No, I’m not considering the Lucid simply because it does not offer what I look for in an EV. Sure, it has great range and other features, but I've calculated having the fast charging capability surpass the need for a bigger battery. Once you reach around 300 miles range, any additional range is...
I just want to get some opinions on these two vehicles. As a Taycan owner, I'm in love with my car and the CT seems like a no-brainer to me, especially with more cargo space, and other standard features. Which prompted me to consider placing an order on the CT. But now with the Macan EV around...
That was my thought too. Although the customer service rep confirmed that's the most “up-to-date” document (dated in Oct of last year), I guess we will just have to hang tight until the government finishes dialing into their AOL account and check their emails.
Hi everyone,
Interestingly, I just found out the base Taycan does not qualify for the CA HOV carpool sticker. I've submitted a completed Statement of Facts (REG 256) to the Department of Motor Vehicles, Special Processing Unit – MS D238, a couple of months ago without any feedback. Therefore, I...
I have an older Thule cargo box that I used with the Macan. It has the clamp-style or what Thule called, “FastGrip quick-mount system”. So it's a pretty universal system.
Hi everyone,
Just got my roof rack from Suncoast. Since I had a hard time finding detailed photos of the roof rack before I pulled the trigger, I figured to share some detailed pictures if someone finds them helpful.
Judging from some minor details in parts, compared with my Thlue roof rack on...
