IF it helps, my new-to-me 2020 4S has similar range- I've been driving in the city (not ideal) in the summer (about 80F, ideal), 21 in wheels. My GoM shows ~220 miles for 90% charge, but I get less.
On my most recent trip, I got 37.4 kWh/100 miles according to my trip meter (a lot of stop and...
That's awesome. Grateful for creative and capable like you (take the compliment!) who can both design it and line up a supplier.
I'm in the stage (after recently buying my used 4S) where I'm looking for "cool things to mod". I'm not in the "need it" stage yet, so I will likely wait to invest in...
Reviving this old thread... Did anyone figure out an option for the sedan? I see JasperP's thread here https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/diy-bike-carrier-hitch-on-taycan.9888/
, but that seems to have run out of momentum....
cc: @bsclywilly who was so creative with the first solution...
I was referring to the comment below. If the point is that the Taycan will depreciate lot, I infer that it's the residual that will drop, not the selling price. Which means greater lease payments.
From my simple search "Lease residual value is calculated by taking the vehicle's...
No financial input as I never lease, but wouldn't greater depreciation imply higher lease payments? I thought leasing is essentially paying for the depreciation, conceptually. Just want to be better informed if I've been thinking about it wrong.
Then RAS must make a big difference. The car I first tested had it, the car I bought used unfortunately didn't.
Not the same thing as maneuverability when driving, but getting in/out of tight, older garages in a city is sometimes dicey. Almost curbed my wheels this morning making an impossibly...
I recently had 4 wheels/tires shipped (21 inch, but similar weight) and the total weight of each corner was over 60 lbs. Trying to give you a ballpark to be helpful.
Yes, it's a very sporty design for a big car- so very wide, very long, and short in height. Took swoopy design to a 4 seater sedan. It's proportionate, just big.
Check out carsized for a comparison...
That tracks exactly like my drives. The Taycan is a big car, but very sporty for it's size and very well engineered. Without traffic on a windy country road, it shines (even more so with the rear axle steering and other elements of the performance package). In a city drive (like most of mine...
You haven't asked a specific question, but I can try to offer up some opinions, having cross shopped the I4 and the Taycan (along with other cars) recently. I used to have several BMWs and also owned a 911, so I've some background with both brands.
I think both your observations are valid. The...
Sounds good.
Agree with your note on the inspection/risk likely driving the limitations to (out of warranty) service contracts. For this reason, I've been suggesting people shop for the extended warranty while within warranty (maybe close to expiration of original)
Your perspective may be logically valid. When it comes to underwriting compliance and insurance (service) contracts, I personally lean towards making sure the language is accurate or that I have it in some writing that it's as designed, over assuming the logical thought would hold up. YMMV...
You've received your quote favorably (which is good) per your updated posts, so this is merely a question from intellectual curiosity.
For Option (1), I'm surprised why someone would expect the form to be filled out with "new". It's a car that's nearly 4 years old, so I don't think even you'd...
@ct14garage thank you for creating this tool and sharing with the community. I bought this Taycan used, so I was anxious to check the battery. This is the result at 49,950 miles with 99% charge and leaving it for a day.
1) Is this a good result? (Yes, I see all green, but also some variation...
What am I missing....? I usually use Android Auto and Waze anyway.... and most of my drives are short drives, and I charge at home - so don't need to find chargers. I will get the subscription if it adds value to my life. Appreciate any insight. From what I read earlier, I didn't think it...
Yeah.. I sometimes do something similar.
In my experience, Porsche Nav struggles with local addresses too... suggesting addresses all over the world as I type.
It's a minor annoyance, but wish it were better.
