    Taycan lease numbers

    I think you calculations may be way off. 40% residual would be absolutely horrible. Perhaps you meant 60% (which is closer to a 911 residual)? Buy rate on MF at Porsche is 0.0020 which is pretty sucky, but for my situation, I do not care as I lease the cars, assign the cars at as a business...

    Horrible cell phone reception in Taycan - any solutions?

    It might be 5G related if that is what you currently on. I have AT&T with iPhone 12 and the signal in my condo is nearly non-existent now that they upgraded to 5G. (I have not really checked it in the Taycan but now I will look). My wife's iPhone 12 has no signal either, however her iPhone X...

    What height do you drive your Taycan in?

    I normally drive in sport plus, therefore the car defaults to low mode (have not changed that). When I park I have the car in show mode (slammed on ground ). I have the CETE suspension control module that allows for this. I raise the car as needed to avoid scraping my carbon front splitter...

    Baby monitor hack for passenger screen?

    There is a company out of Germany (Kufatec) that is an expert in enabling video in motion. Here is a video of the process in 992. You may want to contact them about adding a video input to the car...

    Update 7/16: Thoughts on First 72 Hours with my Brick

    Your response could not be any farther from reality, but I would have not expected anything less from you. It would have been wonderful if I was a spoiled child, however I was fortunate enough to attend under vocational rehabilitation with the Department of Veterans Affairs and United States...

    Update 7/16: Thoughts on First 72 Hours with my Brick

    Actually it is not bad advice. Your response to me is poor and of little help as it offers no potential solution. How about you take a walk down memory lane and read you own post history and read how poor and little help you are to this community? It will not take too much effort to ask...

    Test drive 911 and Taycan

    I have both 992 and Taycan. Taycan is a better car outright. The 992 is fun, sexy and fast. The Taycan is fun, sexy and fast. Taycan infotainment is better than 992 infotainment. Taycan parking cameras are better than 992 parking cameras. Taycan windshield glare is very minimal in...

    No certified Taycan Tech.

    Connecticut is a pretty small state (assuming your profile us up to date) and there are about 10 dealers within a 1/2 day's distance from you. This website will help you find another dealer to assist you. https://www.porsche.com/usa/dealersearch/

    Update 7/16: Thoughts on First 72 Hours with my Brick

    Sell it! Dealers are getting $10-15K over MSRP for cars going back at far as 2017. Heck even the Cayenne and Panamera has appreciated. If the car is causing so much personal trauma, cut bait and move on. You should have no problem getting your six figures back.

    12V death while plugged in - can we declare victory?

    FWIW my eGolf used to lock the cable to the car. On a trip to the happiest place on earth (Disneyland) I parked in electric car charging (that has a 4 hour limit) and returned 3.5 hours later (that is all the golf takes to charge at level 2). Since the charger was locked to the car...

    Champion Motorsport/Vossen RS74 21” wheels. Opinions? Reviews?

    I went with Vorsteiner VFF-109. https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/small-weekend-project-for-my-incoming-taycan-rwd.4681/ The fitment is spot on and the pricing was pretty great too. I paid $5K all in with shipment to HI. That was wheels, custom finish, TPMS, Pirelli Porsche...

    If you’re bored sometime - go test drive a Model 3

    We considered a Model 3 and a Model Y as an extra car for groceries, the mall and to Turo out for a little extra side $$. In the end, was not impressed with either. Purchased a VW Tiguan SE R-Line Black Edition. Only $32K out the door, seats up to 7 and has a great infotainment system that...

    Ordered!

    Don't worry about the potholes if you have air suspension. I live in HI and the roads here are terrible. Ride is smooth as silk in our Taycan with 21" wheels. Not so much in our 992.

    Solar car

    52 miles an hour for 441 miles. I'd kill myself.

    Clean Key Club

    We have Turo cars we rent out and the keys are constantly taking a bath in a hotel pool or the ocean. We now deliver the cars to the guests with the key in a water resistant pelican case to protect the electronics. Key replacements are costly and a shitty way for our guests to end their vacation.

    charging at dealerships?

    My current dealer is three blocks from my home and they will offer free charges to any Porsche customer as long as the chargers are not in use to top off any current inventory that is going to be delivered to a customer that day. I've never tried to take advantage of the free charging as there...

    Best PTS color options for Taycan

    It's a color for the Turbo S Exclusive and said to never be duplicated on any Porsche model again. Of course, never say never. We have already been struck down a few times trying to order the color on other models though.

    Best PTS color options for Taycan

    If I could get Saffron Yellow Metallic for my wife level 10 will have been achieved and game over.

    Are my reliability worries misplaced?

    My only Taycan issues were identical as my 2020 992. Build quality. Both cars had interior buzzing/rattles that were due to low/lesser quality assembly and lack of a QA process. Both started in the same region of car, drivers side door panel and B pillar assembly. Both times I got the same...
