What a generous offer! I just finished installing two chargers and don’t need a third, but I’m sure someone else will make good use of it. Thanks for making this forum an awesome place.

Just to provide a quick update, the status was updated to “production complete” on October 31st and it is in transit to the port. I’m guessing now is when “unexpected” delays are to be expected.

But then they wouldn’t have an Over the Top well equipped EV home garage…for those that wish to "over do it"… ;)

This new Tesla J1772 Wall Connector is a great option for any Taycan that doesn't have the upgraded 80A / 20 KW charger, and for any house that doesn't have enough panel capacity to handle more than a 60A breaker. For Taycans with the 20 KW upgrade, I think a Tesla Gen 2 Wall Charger with the...

My lock date moved a few times. It was originally late August and slowly moved to mid-September. It says it’s locked now. My guess is that there is a huge parkinh lot of completed vehicles awaiting 12 V batteries and transportation. I highly doubt all that will be resolved in time for me to...

My delivery date has already been pushed back to late November (due to 12V battery and port strike.)

It all comes down to some tuner company figuring out how to rewrite the performance tables in the drivetrain control unit. The 4 can be uprated to a 4S and the GTS/Turbo can be uprated to a Turbo S. The big question is whether Porsche can detect this change remotely.

The problem is that the Taycan has a mix of newer software-defined/consolidated ECU architecture and the legacy distributed ECU architecture. Some things can be updated OTA; others required a trip to the dealer. CARIAD, the software division of VW/Audi/Porsche, is working on a next-gen, fully...

Here’s a Car and Driver article from March 2022 detailing the expanded 160 color selection, plus some details on fully-custom PTS+. There’s also a mesmerizing video of a 911 GT3 being built with a paint-to-sample color selection:

Great to hear your trip went so well. I’m in the same region of the country and slightly concerned about charging infrastructure. I’m interested to hear how you solve the transponder problem. I also ordered the noise insulated glass option; I didn’t realize it blocked transponder signals.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like I should be happily surprised if it’s a 2022 delivery and expect 2023.

Yes, exact dates are 8/26 freeze, 11/11 estimated delivery, so I guess it’s actually an October build. I’ve heard the dates can be pulled up, so I’m being a little conservative.

Thanks everyone for your feedback, especially on the color. The exterior is now darker (Jet Black Metallic), but the interior has some good contrast (Black/Bordeaux Red.) Unfortunatley, Porsche has no plans to enable the Matrix headlights to be act like matrix headlights, so that option will be...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. There was a Gentian Blue Panamera at the local dealer for an hour this morning and we got a chance to see it. In direct sunlight, the car is completely blue with no hint of purple. But on the shaded side, from certain angles, there is definitely a...

I’m trying to avoid being the one traded in!

Reading other threads, it appears Porsche has no current intention of enabling this matrix enhanced functionality in the US.

I knew that changes were coming to US regs, but didn’t know they had already happened. Do 2023 US models have “full Euro matrix functionality.”

My wife and I were at the local Porsche dealer browsing the lot for color options for her Taycan order. We had narrowed it down to 2 choices, then a Gentian Blue Metallic Taycan drove by on the main road. We only got to look at it for maybe 10 seconds, but it stole the show. It immediately shot...

I had been waiting for months to place an order for my wife's Taycan CT4 because I assumed it would be a very long wait and I'd have to pay over MSRP. Then I found out the EV tax credit would be going away, so I reached out to my dealer last Thursday and singed the order demand @ MSRP and...

The only real advantage I see from the Porsche Wall Charger Connect, aside from Porsche aesthetics, is that it integrates with the MyPorsche portal to “offer detailed charging records and histories.” But how useful is this information really? It wouldn’t capture away-from-home charging. And I...
