My success has been 2 for 3. Not a fan of the brand (EA). One thing I don’t like is the machines have 2 cables coming out of them, but only 1 can be used, at least the locations I’ve used. If only 1 is usable, why have 2?
It was a great deal, but this is slippery. One way or the other you are getting hosed. (And I willingly went along.)
Although the money factor was competitive, the residual on a 39/12 was 52%!
I commented on that to the finance guy, and he said if I were leasing a Macan (ice) it would be 65%...
Mine was a lease. Porsche Princeton. Porsche gave $12,500, requiring dealer to chip in another $5,000. Then they also paid up to $4,500 for remaining lease payments.
Rear passenger space will be much less than you are used to. If that isn’t important then I think it would be a good move.
Two dealers have told me they cannot give EV’s away, and there is tons of conversation on here about value dropping like a stone, so if nothing else, keep that in mind if...
You don’t need Porsche involved, for recommendations or hardware.
I’m in USA so don’t know what companies make a good charger in Australia, but it won’t be hard to find out. Get the hardwired version (vs plug in) and have your electrician do it. I paid $550 for the charger, and $800 for labor...
Surprised you had to point this out to Propo on a Porsche forum, but I get that it needed correcting.
Well known that GTS always get the secret sauce. Unique components and settings that prevent trying to option other models exactly the same. Otherwise there would be no reason to get GTS...
Easy-get yourself a 2x2 or 2x4 pc of 3/4” plywood(these come precut at the box stores), screw it to the studs, and then mount anyplace you want on that new surface.
If aesthetics are important, use a router to round over the edges, and slap 2 coats of semigloss on it.
I bought a 2024 CT4 a month ago for $20,000+/- off list. Porsche was putting in most of that, dealer doing $5,000.
When I commented to the finance guy how horrible the residual was (52% Taycan on a 39/39, vs Macan 64%, same term), he replied "We can't give these EV away'.
I think for a car...
I don’t share your characterization of it as EV haters, but maybe you saw things which I did not.
Kyle Connor from Out of Spec did a really balanced video about the weather as well as other things affecting charging, and he is a super proponent of EV’s.
This isn’t made up. There are real...
I did, picking it up tomorrow.
Got a CT4 with all the goodies I wanted. Yeah, terrible market for EV, but Porsche was giving such incentives I decided to go for it. Oddly, only one of my local dealers was featuring this promotion.
It is frustrating, but cars are not an investment and trying to time getting out of them into something else always involves loss. I accept that.
It seems like EV demand in general is terrible right now. Hertz announced yesterday that they are selling a significant number of their EV fleet, and...
