    May 2023 Deliveries

    I have to believe that a significant reason for your delayed build sequencing has more to do with the right hand drive than the heaters. The US has seen very few production delays since January. From what my SA and his manager have seen, all of their Feb, Mar, and Apr allocations have been...

    Taycan is built tough!! (Inadvertent speed bump test)

    From Porsche; Another very useful standard function on the Taycan Cross Turismo is the Gravel mode driving programme. This is particularly helpful for journeys on light off-road terrain, such as gravel tracks or muddy roads. In this mode, ride height is raised by 20mm – or 30mm if you opt for...

    Taycan depreciation

    The Taycan has only existed during the COVID era which means any depreciation you’ve seen up till now is artificial. Going forward you should expect depreciation pretty much on par with what we’ve seen with Panamera, Cayenne and Macan in the 2015 - 2019 timespan. Personally, I think it will do...

    💰Things are going up! More price increases

    I’m 99% sure this is trailing news, the recent price increases we saw on the configurator is what this is referencing. It’s not in addition to that. Of course that doesn’t mean they won’t have another increase later this year.

    Prepaid maintenance worth it?

    Essentially there are only two items to service under regular maintenance every 2 years or 20,000 miles. 1. Bleed the brakes 2. Replace cabin air filters. if you spend more than $500 per year you are getting ripped off. Screw the dealer, there are hundreds of independent Porsche shops that...

    It doesn’t help that they had to track southwest through the Azores to go around the back side of a storm in the North Atlantic before they turned West towards Jacksonville. Averaging about 12.6 kn in 10-12 foot seas and 20 kn winds. Doesn’t sound like a lot of fun and I hope everything’s...

    April 2023 Deliveries

    I have one that updated to 5/8 as well. I assume both are coming into Jacksonville. Based on the updated scheduled boats it looks like Siem Confucius.

    Questions from a Tesla Owner

    Back in January 2021, when I had a 4S loaner Car for a month while my Spyder was trapped in port hold hell the dealership, knowing we already had a Model 3P, was honestly curious for comparison. They were very new to the EV space at that time and wanted to understand how to relate to Tesla...

    Does 21 days on the production line sound too long?

    Apparently whatever was slowing production was cleared, I got a pleasant surprise this morning.

    Should I wait for the 2024 Taycan?

    There are no more available allocations for MY23, your dealer can only place an order with an allocation and the next batch of allocations will be MY24. The price increase for NZ may not get published till July (highly unlikely) and they may even leak some “spy” shots of the MY25 refresh...

    Does 21 days on the production line sound too long?

    I’ll take 21 days over what mines become. Originally it was supposed to come out in 12 days then it updated to this yesterday. I’m pretty sure it started production, I got one picture from the line around the 5th, it was the right color. I suspect it finished the line but is waiting for a...

    Long trips in Taycan seats - comfort / ergonomics?

    Don’t let the Porsche branding of the seats confuse you. The top end seat, the 18 way “sport” seat, is in no way any less comfortable than the 8 way adjustable “comfort” seat. Yes, it has higher bolsters but they are adjustable, hence the “18 way” nomenclature so unless you are an inordinately...

    Speedometer accuracy

    No, the difference between a new and fully worn tire is not 3%, it’s much closer to 1%. For a Taycan rear tire, the new diameter is 29”. 3% is .87”. Useful tread depth is 6/32nds. 12/32nds is .375” which is 1.3% as a worst case. Most manufactures engineer to a 1% tolerance.

    Speedometer accuracy

    Porsche sedans and SUV’s, as well as all other cars in the VW group routinely read 5% high in the US. Their sports cars, which use platforms and technology not shared anywhere else in the VW group, usually are pretty much spot on. This has been the case for over 20 years. So, a company which...
