    TURBO or TURBO S

    This has been my experience as well and why I went with the 4S. For me I couldn’t justify the $30K for features I wouldn’t use very often. @TheFutre , care to share your build codes? It would be interesting for all of us to take a look. Not to criticize, just curious.

    How many of you would still own the Taycan if it wasn’t better for the environment than a combustion car?

    I’ve had hybrids. I’ve had higher MPG cars. I’ve wanted an EV. I’ve spent lots of time in Teslas. I almost bought 4 times but couldn’t ever turn the EV fantasy into reality given the subpar driving experience + poor materials, fit and finish...and then came the Taycan. Yes it has an environment...

    For those in snow country - are you getting winter tires and/or wheels?

    I’ve never had snow tires so I don’t know the difference. I am staying with all season for now. Having just driven through an 8 inch dumping over here, I can say the car is very good but it still slides around in corners. It’s better than any AWD car I’ve had before, but still slides in the “no...

    Time to Say Goodbye, and Thanks for all the Electrons.

    Very well said Sam. Don, @louv, you have been an inspiration to all of us. I remember reading about your adventures long before I found this forum. It's what helped convince me to go from reserving a build slot to committing to purchase (yes I've been drooling over this car since the prototype...

    Broken heater - there was an error during preheating / cooling

    Fall in Minnesota has been...odd. We went from unseasonably warm, gorgeous weather, to freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall (I got about 8 inches). Heating once I'm in the car is great. But when I want to pre-heat my car at somewhat random times (pre-doctor's visit, post-store visit, etc.)...

    Surprise Gift from Porsche

    All I got was a car without the 12v battery problem. So far. BRB, need to go check.

    "WBA Limited" warnings...

    That really sucks. I'm so sorry to hear that! Nice that it isn't too damaged, but still! From my experience in other cars, it is speed dependent. I didn't see anything explicit in the Good to Know about speed and brake assist. Does anybody know from other Porsche models?

    "WBA Limited" warnings...

    I saw your post on this in another thread. I do not think your experience is related to WBA. I had WBA non-warning tonight and I successfully wasn't warned. It definitely did not brake for me, as that would be an indication of an overactive WBA rather than a non-functioning WBA. I definitely...

    "WBA Limited" warnings...

    That is what WBA is supposed to do. Except when it is giving you a non-warning, then who the hell knows what's about to happen. All will be fine so long as you don't panic.

    HomeLink thinks I'm "Offroad" at all times

    I've done the exact same. Geo location never seems to work but the dash button works like a charm. I've only coded it to one garage door so it just works (I don't want the UI to come up while I'm backing out so I only programmed one garage door). I also programmed the diamond button on the...

    Cayenne v Macan

    Good questions and I don’t have real world experience with either of those models. My only advice here is that you should get her what she wants and worry about the odd occasion when you need to. Buying for WHAT IF is the same as holding on to everything because WHAT IF...give away the stuff you...

    "WBA Limited" warnings...

    Appreciate the posted response. I had this pop up on me today and knew I’d be scanning the forum for WBA since I saw this message a bit ago. While the message popped up there was extremely light rain on a stretch of road I’ve driven dozens of times (6 times today alone). It’s very familiar with...

    Troubles locking my Taycan

    It locks? If so that must be a new setting. Previously it would just bring the door handles in and fold in the mirrors (based on your setting). Need to go play with settings to see if auto lock now exists

    Epic 5-day Road Rally Through Colorado

    This is awesome! Great pics, the views are spectacular. The day by day was super helpful to read. It’s great to hear of the challenges and your successful workarounds. Too often we hear of failures but you took this challenge and rocked it.

    Troubles locking my Taycan

    100% with you. Often it’s great, then sometimes it stops working and that’s ridiculous. Like you I do not get the foot gesture for the trunk nor the hand waiving gesture for the frunk (and yes I’ve checked that the setting is enabled).

    Noises driving me nuts

    It was definitely the passenger headrest for me. I touched it and it stopped. I haven’t been on that stretch of road since so I can’t say if/when it will recur.

    My2021 UK car recall

    +1 What he said! @The Prince , that needs to be fixed or car returned. Good luck, let us know what happens.

    Random "Hey Porsche" activation

    My SA told me to not even turn it on. Press the button for Hey Porsche or Siri, don't have it constantly listen and misinterpret, it'll just irritate you.

    Car died over night…

    Hopefully it doesn't come to that. I know you've had a multitude of problems. Fortunately I've only had mild irritations ( Connect occasional failures, rattle in passenger headrest but only once, the trunk popping back up because the lid actually touched a grocery bag!). It truly is a wonderful...
