    How did you pay for your Taycan?

    As already suggested, you are going to get wildly different answers depending on where someone is based. In the UK there’s huge tax incentives for buying an electric car, specifically around reducing corporation tax. We just came off our best year, so even if I could lease (which I could not...

    Bose system on the Taycan, is it a good system?

    I have Bose, but decided for my new Turbo S to get the Burmester. I will live to regret that, as it will just mean more speakers blasting our most frequent playlist https://music.apple.com/gb/album/50-favourite-nursery-rhymes/785094749 Maybe this is what hell is.

    It’s here! I can’t wait till Monday…

    Congrats - it looks awesome. My wife is from Czech Republic so we’re out in Prague quite regularly. I hope to see you driving around, racing the trams.

    Taycan Turbo S vs. Model S Plaid - really by this much!?

    Fraid not, ol' chap. Your argument is: I need irrefutable proof. Regardless of what is put forward there's a counter argument to it being considered categorical proof, so I just saved everyone the effort of reading it.

    Taycan Turbo S vs. Model S Plaid - really by this much!?

    I just wanted to help with this thread, for anyone new coming along. In summary: we are after irrefutable proof that the Taycan came around due to Tesla. This proof can only be deemed acceptable if we have the CEO of Porsche calling a press conference to announce it, with preference towards...

    UK delivery production delays

    I’ve finally hit the lock date, so I no longer need to look at the configurator every 18.3 seconds: https://www.porsche.com/microsite/porsche-code/default.aspx?c=/PN7G25B4 It’s gone into pre-production and I’m being told mid-November it’ll be mine. I bought my Turbo from the same dealer...

    DOLOMITE SILVER Taycan Club

    I keep going back and forth on whether to have the Mission E’s with Satin Platinum or Painted in Exterior Colour, in both cases with the Black Calipers. https://www.porsche.com/microsite/porsche-code/default.aspx?c=/PN7G25B4 Anyone with any final thoughts/pictures before my lock date finally...

    POLL: What's your Porsche experience level?

    My Taycan Turbo is my first car

    Which option did you have the hardest time reaching a decision?

    My first build was relatively easy; I received so much great advice on here and was trying to keep within budget (failed, of course). For my Turbo S I’ve spent countless hours on the configuration, as I’m buying it with the regret of what I didn’t add last time. Now I fuss over the smallest of...

    Taycan Forum -effects on build price

    It could be worse. I came here to get advice on a 4S build only to order a Turbo and now I’ve got a Turbo S arriving in a few months. Yet more pressing than all of this is that my wife wanted a Tesla; I’m now forever in her debt.

    Your Turbo S config

    I decided to add PDCC, change the colour, plus add the carbon fibre steering wheel: http://www.porsche-code.com/PN7G25B4 Build freezes on Monday, so now I have to pretend I'm definitely not going to change anything in the next 6 days.

    Learning to drive in a Taycan Turbo

    I have now had a driving license for 3 months and have clocked up around 400 miles of solo driving. Even pre-covid I worked from home, so I rarely have any need to go anywhere. In fact, I probably should have just kept getting taxis rather than spending £130k on a Porsche. I digress. My...

    Matte/stealth PPF anyone?

    I was speaking to Topaz on Thursday about getting a Satin/Stealth wrap on Dolomite Silver, then by sheer luck Porsche Cambridge had one in stock today. Here's a video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vaap0go6q68oy3h/65244436629__16C2A034-DC03-45B4-9892-A171C6DC560A.MOV?dl=0 I'm unsure if I'll go...

    Resale Value

    I'm interested in other UK folks experience of selling their Taycan. I have a Turbo S due sometime in Nov/Dec, so will then sell my MY21 Turbo ( http://www.porsche-code.com/PMY9USY6 ). I asked Porsche Cambridge for a price and they offered £117k based on 2k miles (I took delivery mid-March...

    Backup Camera Quality to Improve?

    Our previous car was an entry level Mercedes A Class - one where the leasing company removed so many features that in the end we felt blessed to have a steering wheel. Yet when my wife test drove the Taycan, she found the reversing camera so hard to use compared to the Merc that she vetoed me...

    To Taycan, or not Taycan? That is the question.

    @wordsman, I'm 16 years younger than you, but if I've learnt anything from my time on this planet, it's that you should always get your sensible advice from someone you just met online called midlifecrisis. It's worked for me - I love my Taycan.

    Yep, but my build slot is October so it will delay it.

    ? Official Release: 2022 Porsche Taycan Upgrades & New Colors

    I wish I had the patience to wait for PTS on my Turbo S order - Acid Green would be amazing. Probably less amazing when my wife sees it and destroys me.
