I would need a HUGE discount to even consider buying a lemoned car. Even if the lemon status "doesn't matter" to you, and even if you have zero problems during your ownership, that lemon title will reduce the resale value when you are ready to sell, even if that's years later. But it's likely...

The 911 is a great car, but I am entirely done with petrol. So I'll wait a few years for batteries to get lighter so that the true sports cars can go full EV. You know they will, and you know that, once they do, gas will seem slow, laggy, and smelly by comparison, even you ignore the...

You can turn it on in the PCM. You can assign it to one of the programmable "diamond" buttons And you can also use voice control: "Hey Porsche, turn on the ionizer"

Along with other considerations, I think it depends on which model you are starting with. A GTS or Turbo that doesn't have all of the performance options is likely going to be considered a miss. But a base model WITH all of the performance options might be considered over-optioned.

I'm in the "PPF is good" camp, but I would not apply it to a windshield, as much as I'd like the rock chip protection. you can argue that I'm wrong... unless you live somewhere where you use the windshield wipers often - like your Seattle home - in which case the lifespan of any windshield film...

Before the Taycan, I owned a Jaguar XKR-175. It was a $110K car that I bought CPO for $45K with low miles, kept for seven problem-free years and sold for $38K - though I would not have been disappointed if it had only been worth $10K after that many years of enjoyment. Deprection is GREAT if...

Congrats... good... yup... agree... makes sense - wait. "better looking than the sedan" - Sir, I question your taste and judgement! The world needs fewer SUVs and more wagons, and maybe the CT is good looking by some standards, but BETTER looking it is NOT.

If you are getting 100-130 on 150KW and 350KW chargers, then I'd suspect that the car is limiting the charge rate. Try this as a test: 1) Deplete the battery so that you arrive at a charger at under say 25% SOC. The highest charge rate happens when the battery is at a relatively low state of...

Looks close enough to a two-door Taycan to get me very intersted!

Agreed that it's definitely not at all down to 'cheap electricity'. If it were, then Denmark, with some of the most expensive electricity in the world, would not be at 50% EV adoption.

Electricity in Norway isn't all that cheap, all things considered. While it depends greatly on where in Norway you live, the season, how much you consume, and even the weather that year, an average of $0.20 USD per kWh would not be untypical. That is not what I'd call dirt cheap.

Nope, definitely won't happen. There will be modules and even whole batteries available for cheap, for example pulled from other vehicles - in fact they are already available - but it won't make sense for any third-party to offer a custom Taycan battery.

OK so as a new Taycan owner in 2023 I struggled to figure out how to get the exterior temperature to show up on one of the various screens, coming to curse Porsche for making nearly everything configurable - except apparently this. Then I discovered that the temperature is permanently displayed...

I'm a big Michelin PS4S fan, but wary of not using NF0 tires, so I plan to go with Pirelli P Zero R NF when my time comes.

Comparing a Turbo to a 4S, I suspect that the primary if not the only different in ride quality would be the tires and rims. A car with the 20" wheels would feel a bit smoother than one with the 21s, while a Turbo and a 4S on the same wheels would ride the same. There is a difference in ride...

As a non-production EV, doesn't it need to beat the Volkswagen ID.R at 6:05.336 in order to break a record?

The Weissach package costs $33,500 on the GT3, but it costs $0 on the Taycan Turbo GT. Huh? Porsche options are notoriously profitable. All of that custom carbon costs Porsche serious money to produce, so I am sure that Porsche makes LESS profit when someone orders the Taycan Weissach option...

If the goal is to shift trips to more efficient modes of transportation like cycling, don't start by increasing the cost and complexity of jumping on a bicycle. So no.

If your severely-angled-ramp method worked, which it would not, it would still be a miserable experience. I'd either move or get a smaller car. And since this is the Porsche Taycan forum, and I drive a Taycan just like you soon will, let's go with move.

Fair price. If I was local, I'd probably bite on these. Someone snap them up!
