    So, has there really been no credible news…

    Here's an artists rendering of the new 718 EV without camo:

    So, has there really been no credible news…

    Yeah, IMO, they need to approach their EVs with a more enthusiast perspective, like the engineers of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. 1) Paddle shifters for regen 2) Activatable 'boost' button (same HP unlock that is used on launch control but also manual when motor conditions are met again, could be...

    So, has there really been no credible news…

    Here's some news, they'll be looking to retrofit an ICE drivetrain in the EV designed platform. May have a negative to no effect on the EV platform. https://www.carscoops.com/2024/10/porsche-changes-ev-plan-will-give-future-electric-models-ice-powertrains-too/ Likely not what you wanted to hear.

    What 718 EV drive train would you be most interest in?

    Realistically you're comparing a Macan that weighs over 1500lbs more. A 300 HP 3500 lb EV would do low 5s 0-60 easily. However, I could see the Taycan motor setup would likely just be reused at 400 HP. However, it'd be nice to see something bespoke. Realistically it will likely a derated...

    What 718 EV drive train would you be most interest in?

    Assuming all the following options are available, which drive train would you be most interested in? Note, the Macan EV is 78k (+20k from ICE version), so trying to make prices somewhat realistic given Porsche tax and that it will be likely a Fall 2025 release date. Personally I've always...

    Protection Film - Front

    Every market is different. Local shops in Scottsdale AZ (richer part of town) do a full front for about 2400. Some normal parts of Phoenix AZ do a full front for about 2k. Head north 75 miles, and they will do a full front with some of the best work for 1800, just depends the market and cost of...

    What are folks hearing about delivery dates for September 2021 USA Orders

    Sounds like an accurate timeline I am taking delivery tomorrow. All tint and presale items have been done since Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning, arrived at port 7/30. Porsche is no longer immune to chip shortage, the sun sensor for the AC delayed my delivery. Wish I could have drove.it home...

    What are folks hearing about delivery dates for September 2021 USA Orders

    For reference, my dealer in Las Vegas required 10% down and that was it, but offered me 1k more off (4k off a 118k spec), than anyone else, so I obliged. My SA was leading the pack offering the best deals and I had others trying to match him then he went deeper than others. I needed 10% equity...

    Clear protection film (PPF) on the Taycan?

    I am picking my car up Saturday, only got full front and those vents are wide open. After thinking about it I'll be adding PPF to my two front doors as well specifically for this concern. There are just too many rocks on the road in Arizona. I am actually flying in to pick up my car out of...

    Is a cash purchase risky, given how technology will change?

    I chose to purchase and finance at 2.24% with 10% down, since I can earn more with the money in the market. However, I fully intend to use the Taycan as a bridge vehicle for when the next big jump in battery tech occurs, which seems like 8+ years out at the moment before it can even begin to...

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

    My car arrived at port 7/30 to San Diego, took 3 weeks to ship to dealer (missing Sun Sensor). Sun Sensor arrived yesterday and is now installed today waiting to be picked up. I ordered out of state, so, it took about 1 month delay after it hit port just for those wondering the current status...

    Rear axle steering (RAS) - gimmick or?

    The 8 way also comes with 3 memory settings, and doesn't have side pocket cargo nets, or back cargo nets. For anyone reading this.

    Rear axle steering (RAS) - gimmick or?

    Noted. The 8 way seat as far as I am concerned is only missing the lumbar support, which is fine for me. It still has the side bolster adjustments. I needed some contrast to break up the black interior, silver helps, with colored seatbelts. Never used the memory feature in my BMW, to each their...

    Rear axle steering (RAS) - gimmick or?

    Same, but I opted for the 4S then cut nearly all the lux items. All aside from the wheels, storage package, and dark silver interior trim and folding mirrors. I don't even have 14 wheel seats, but I made room for RAS and the Performance Battery in my build.

    Do you have a pano roof?

    I have yet to see a Taycan without the Pano roof, seems like 95% of them have it. That's fair, I won't have any occupants in the back, aside from when doing road trips potentially. Just rather do without the extra weight, cost, heat, less noise, plus I like the exterior look without it. Being...

    Is this a subtle reference to this old school X-Men clip? Because, I love this clip:

    'Monkey Butt' rear plate holder - better options?

    Let me know what you turn up with, I also dislike the license plate holder. Ideally someone could 3D print matching covers for those clear spots.

    Regret Standard Interior?

    The insulated glass blocks cell signals. I'd advise against it, just get 90-70% window tint on the front windshield at 35% or more elsewhere.

    Do you have a pano roof?

    I live in Phoenix, definitely a minus to have a panoramic roof being a 2 person household. It has to do with radiant heat from above for me, the looks, the pano roof adds weight as well, and its already bright as heck outside. If anything, I want reprieve from the sunlight. I realize this isn't...

    Track Your Dream is more like Make Me Scream

    All Taycan 4S cars have the chrome trim, you have to option the gloss black otherwise for 400 USD. The Base Taycan has a matte black trim and the Turbo models have gloss black trim as standard. My 4S is white (almost got Green), I barely got the gloss black upgrade at the last minute in before...
