    Thoughts on Race-Tex vs leather?

    I'm having a debate with myself about the interior options. Specifically, I'm wondering about getting the Race-Tex interior on my Taycan Turbo. Is there anyone out there who has spent much time with the Race-Tex who has an opinion about it? I actually haven't seen one up close and personal as...

    Don Breaks His Taycan - The Saga of the 12v Battery

    FWIW I have an early-production 991.1 S cabriolet and I've never had any electrical gremlins. I was a little nervous about getting something so early in the production, but the only issue I had was actually with dealer prep--where Porsche had changed the procedure starting with the 991 cabriolet...

    Greetings Bay Area ppl!

    I just got a new date in September for my car (Turbo, originally in June, but it has slipped at least three times now). The good news is that I've definitely moved my delivery to PECLA. But this wait is feeling really long...

    Taycan Waiting Room: Who has ordered and a delivery date?

    Well, there's (slow) movement. The status has now changed from V170 to V210 (Change Freeze Point reached), and the estimated arrival at the dealer date is September 11, 2020 . That feels like a long time, but given that the previous date in the system had already moved out to August before the...

    Taycan Waiting Room: Who has ordered and a delivery date?

    My dealer has definitely looked at it. They've been trying to find out what the status is without any success so far.

    Taycan Waiting Room: Who has ordered and a delivery date?

    Yikes, if that means that they haven't even looked at it. This change was made weeks ago.

    Taycan Waiting Room: Who has ordered and a delivery date?

    V170 has the description next to it 'PAG handling necessary'

    Taycan Waiting Room: Who has ordered and a delivery date?

    I actually have the commission number from the dealer. They looked it up using that, and saw that there was an order there but only had the one V170 status. The customer service rep sounded truly perplexed, which isn't encouraging.

    Taycan Waiting Room: Who has ordered and a delivery date?

    Well, that was interesting. Just got off the phone with PCNA, and they can see the order, but they can't see any info. That concerns me even more, since just a few weeks ago there was a nice long list of Vcodes for the order... They did commit to researching what was going on and getting me an...

    Don Breaks His Taycan - The Saga of the 12v Battery

    FWIW, we have had a Chargepoint Flex since October, and it has been hit or miss when used with my wife's VW e-Golf. Oddly it has worked perfectly with my BMW i3 every time. That feels to me more like a car issue than a EVSE issue, given that essentially boxes like the Flex are glorified...

    Taycan Waiting Room: Who has ordered and a delivery date?

    Did you get an update on your build date from your dealer? Mine keeps telling me that the status hasn't moved since I made changes to my order (weeks prior to my freeze date, but after the factory shutdown). It still says 'V170 PAG handling necessary.' I'm concerned that my order has been...

    Don Breaks His Taycan - The Saga of the 12v Battery

    As a BMW i3 owner and active participant in those forums, I assure this is an issue for the i3 as well.

    Leveling / lowering nose while driving

    From what I've read, Range mode and Sport/Sport Plus all lower the entire car. I don't know that there's any control over just the front end. I'll trust that the engineers at Porsche have done their homework on the aerodynamics...

    Porsche Taycan Turbo S (761hp) - 0-270 kmh / 167 mph LAUNCH CONTROL by Automann-TV

    I'll make sure to explain that to the CHP when they pull me over... :)

    Greetings Bay Area ppl!

    Certainly not me. Yesterday my dealer told me that delivery is pushed back to the end of August.

    'Standard' leather vs. Olea leather?

    Can anyone here give an informed opinion/comment on the quality of the leather options on the Turbo? It appears that you can get full leather, RaceTex, or Olea leather. The Olea option is quite a bit more expensive, and I'm wondering: is it a higher-quality leather, or is it just that the...

    I beat the Porsche Taycan Turbo's EPA-estimated range without even trying - RoadShow

    Yep. VW absolutely set up cars to sail through the US tests. It was some small teams at places like West Virginia University and CARB that actually figured out what was going on.

    Some Answers and Info From Canadian Taycan Launch Event

    Yep. I mis-remembered. That's what I get for trying to wing it. Thanks for getting the actual data. That said, I don't know that the numbers (-$1.46 BN over 4 quarters with only one of them netting in the black) lead me to the conclusion that the Tesla cars can't be built profitably. Those...
