    3rd party wheel insurance (US)

    I'm interested in hearing what, if anything, others have done for wheel/tire insurance without going through the dealer. I seem to remember others mentioning it but can't find too much definitive using the search function. I've also entered it into the Google and found several companies that...

    MY23 or MY24 choice (last one)

    I'm sure others are more knowledgable but I think outside of a few standard equipment inclusions and/or option packages, it's the same car with a higher price.

    Taycan Charging Installation Question

    I also just had 2 Emporia's installed - we also just picked up a MB EQE SUV for my wife. 2 50A breakers and hard wired. $450 each for the unit and it works very well. I originally wanted something a little more "flashy" but this unit is just as good as any other - unless it's installed in a cold...

    Forgot to add.. PenFed seems to be the best 3rd party rates with the exception of maybe USAA or some obscure CU.

    My dealer was able to get 5.49 with Bank of America. That was 10 days ago.

    Fitcamx dashcam installation

    I got mine installed last weekend. The video a couple pages back was very helpful. I didn't get any pics of it installed but the smallest curved piece between the mirror post and the overhead trim was the biggest PITA (maybe because I ordered a rear facing camera). The gaps aren't as tight as...

    I think it varies. Mine was there for roughly a week before officially "arriving" into port. My boat left for the next destination, arrived there, and left there before it was processed in the system.

    Does 21 days on the production line sound too long?

    My RWD was 18 days in February. 18-21 seems to be on the high side but not unheard of.

    Also, my car was in Emden for close to a month while 2 boats left for my port before I actually got on a boat.

    It's really all a guessing game. TYD will give an "idea" of a timeline but it's only accurate after the fact. So, if your TYD says leaving the port on 5/1 and arriving into your port on 5/11, for example, find the boat that most closely matches that and watch vesselfinder.com or fleetmon.com...

    MB EQE SUV vs. Waiting for Macan EV

    MBUX is light years ahead of the PCM.

    Got some amateur interior shots… limestone beige/black full leather, neodyme accents, and paldeo wood.

    Not too long ago, TYD was listing the boat but it doesn’t seem that they’re doing that any more. It’s kind of a guessing game - find a shipping schedule (there was a PWL schedule posted previously in this thread) and then find the boat going to your port that matches closest to the TYD timeline.

    Well, I'm happy to say I took delivery this afternoon. I got some basic pics but not worth posting so I'll wait to get some good ones once I get the tint and PPF done. It looks so much better in person, as we all know. It's a sexy beast just sitting in the driveway.

    Interesting twist this morning... as I previously mentioned, I thought I was getting 5.54 through the dealer. I was scheduled to take delivery of my car today at 4 PM and the finance manager called and told me the rates went up and I was looking at 6.39 (or something like that). I started to...

    I wish I could get USAA but I’m not eligible because no one in my family is/was military.

    The Base Taycan is a gem... drove it and was blown away

    From a "form over function" standpoint, it's hard to make a mistake. ? IMO, it's hard to go wrong if something makes the car look better.

    Obviously, the lower the better but I'm not disappointed with 5.54. compared to some of the rates I was seeing at the big banks. I think it was PenFed that had 5.39 when I was looking. Who knows... maybe rates will tank in 3 years and I can refi for the same term that's remaining.

    Too bad about the 4.95 but I guess it could be worse. When I first got on the list last Summer, the SA was quoting 6+%, which was almost 2x the going rate at the time. More recently, I asked and he was say 7-8% and the Porsche website said 9+%. I was going to go with a credit union at 5.39 for...

    I just got word from my SA that my car arrived at the dealer today (TYD updated to Step 10). Taking delivery on Monday. Have you checked with the dealer? I was being told crazy high numbers and the Porsche website is saying 8% or 9% but when I told my SA I was going with a 3rd party he asked...
