This is indeed a good question. I suspect they're jittery with OTA updates and drivetrain electronics. If something goes poorly they risk bricking the car and would then have to have it towed to the dealership to be fixed. There are many ways around this problem of course, but I doubt we'll...

In May, when I tried to proactively book my car in for the WMA5 update, I was told they had no appointments available until August. I took the appointment, knowing I would need the update eventually. A couple of weeks later, my PCM decided to completely stop connecting to the cellular network. I...

I wouldn't buy a base Macan for sure. I would be interested in seeing what the higher trim levels offer (especially the upcoming electric one), but I agree.. the base model is terrible. I understand why dealers use them as loan cars but unfortunately they leave terrible impressions.. but the...

I've definitely noticed software issues in the pcm. Carplay takes so long to connect I went back to using my android phone for audio. This is when I discovered a bug that the pcm never properly deleted my iPhone and kept trying to connect to carplay as if it was the default media player. I...

I believe those two corners are also near the drains for the windshield area, where water is flushed down off the windshield, through the body and onto the roadway below. If someone was malicious and poured something sweet down, it's probably covering a good portion of those drains and their...

Yep. I doubt you can export a car with an outstanding lien on it either.

Yeah I had this on mine as well. When I asked about it I was told it was basically intended to protect the price of the car in other markets and prevent people from buying it "cheaply" here and then reselling it in another market for less than that market's retail. I have no idea how true this...

I have seen one Chargepoint 150kw charger over here on the west coast; most of their DC fast chargers though are the 05kw variety. Even for EA, out here I only have one 350kw charger in a reasonable driving range; and that wasn't giving me the full 270kw charging either (the battery wasn't warm...

I'm mildly biased towards the Volcano Grey as something that's subtle but still looks good (especially in the sunshine - it's a bit dull in the typical overcast British skies.) Black is also a good choice for subtlety. I'd suggest that if you have a dealership within a reasonable distance that...

Dang, now you've got me thinking about wrapping mine in satin ppf (also cheers to another Calgarian - even if I haven't lived there for decades :P)

The Taycan is my only car, but I also live alone so that makes things easier. I don't have a charging point at home as I live in an apartment complex. I find myself generally using the car as I would any other gas-powered car with the exception of needing to charge it instead of filling up with...

I've had the car for only a short period of time but my 2020 4s has been without fault so far. There are a couple of minor rattles but nothing unexpected for a new car IMO. This is also really the first year of production for a brand new car for Porsche so you usually expect teething troubles in...

I think it's seriously impressive that the Taycan can hold its own against Emelia's C8. Don't forget the C8 was on drag tires and running on C16 race fuel. Both are awesome cars, for very different reasons.

I was pretty set on the Gentian blue until I saw the Volcano grey in person. I still prefer the blue, but I also really liked the grey, so wound up going with it. The fact that the dealer had the car I wanted (colour aside) in stock also helped a lot in pushing me in that direction. If they...

Yeah, it remembers the damper setting. I wish it would remember the regen setting too. That's easily set with the button on the wheel...but I'm a lazy bugger who prefers to set it and forget it for everything. I like sport mode too, honestly - if the car remembered the sport mode setting I...

Like you, I have the 4s without the sport chrono package. I typically leave the driving mode in "Normal" with dampers on "Sport" and ride height at "Regular." I've found that for me this is the best balance of fun without having to constantly raise the nose for speed bumps and steep ramps. I...

I've charged at the same EA charger twice now, and both times it was a pfaff to get it going, compared to using the chargepoint stations. I didn't ultimately have any issues getting the pre-paid charging to work, besides going through the song and dance with the app. Chargepoint is so much...

interesting question - i probably wouldn't personally because a taycan that isn't electric, to me, just screams "panamera." That said, the interior of the taycan, and the infotainment layout, controls, etc, feels more modern and inline with where i think cars are going in general. that would be...

I got my volcano grey with the slate grey leather and paldao wood - i think having something slightly different inside helps make the car feel a bit more unique (if that's your aim.)

Welcome! That red looks amazing!
