    Driving modes - is there an actual difference?

    That's smart and OP should absolutely do that, but I'm talking 1,000 km drives/day, so driving roughly 8 hours a day. By hour five on the third day, you're begging to save 30 minutes.

    Driving modes - is there an actual difference?

    Now that everyone has answered the when, here is the how/when. Range matters when you're driving long distances. I've put more than 5k miles on this beast since January. When I am on the highway driving in traffic, I use Sport (typically around my city). When I'm going long distances and I've...

    Getting a Taycan after Tesla - Few questions

    You're overthinking! My ex-husband has owned a Tesla and was the one that told me to buy the Taycan. Overall, it is a far superior car. I have a CT4 and while it's not as fast off the line, it is a much better, more reactive driving experience, particularly at high speeds. It is not, a...

    Knocking sound while soft breaking CT 4S MY25.

    I suspect that OP means "knocking" sound? It's a hard word to spell and English is a tough language.

    Um, <cough>, where is the audio volume control?

    Congratulations on your purchase, you're going to love it!! I got mine in Jan and I've put over 5,000 miles in it! Below is one of many excellent videos on many of the Taycan features.

    Denver Auto Shield PPF Purveyors

    I took my car to Denver Auto Shield for repairs at the recommendation from Porsche owners I met at a Porsche Club meeting. They didn't disappoint! I picked up my car and turns out that he did several small fixes and didn't charge me. He even washed my car! (It was REALLY muddy.) The fixes look...

    My new “Stormtrooper”

    I know this is an old thread, but I stumbled upon it. It's beautiful! I'm a Star Wars fan. You need a picture with a light saber. Sorta related, I was lucky enough to experience the Halcyon Galactic Starcruiser (aka the Star Wars Hotel) before it shut down. (I still mourn that.) I can only...

    How Many Taycan Forum Members are Active PCA (Porsche Club of America) Members

    Bought my taycan in Dec. Picked it up in Jan. Went to my first PCA meeting in March. I live in Denver, so this is the BIG club. 80 people were there. I think I was one of 8 women and one of three Taycans. I am 54 and was below average in terms of age. Everyone was super friendly. I made them...

    Any way to deal with delivery after the tariff date?

    I can't speak to Tarriffs, but I can validate your decision. I let my ex-husband drive my Taycan this past weekend to compare to his Model S. Obviously, the software in the Tesla far exceeds the Taycan, but he noticed that the Taycan responds faster and is quieter at higher speeds. He mentioned...

    DENVER: Porsche Mechanics who can do seasonal tire swap

    Just don't use the Arvada, CO Discount tire. Those guys are idiots. I had to stop going there with my old Jetta.

    DENVER: Porsche Mechanics who can do seasonal tire swap

    Les Schwab 44th Ave. Did it. Knowledgeable and easy. Nick is the manager. Great guy.

    Raise suspension for transporting car?

    I am not expert, but when I raise my car and then turn it off and turn it back on, it is automatically in the normal position again. At some point it lowers.

    I bought a thing. Man, the prices of CPO Taycans are amazing.

    Congrats! I bought a `21 wagon in Jan. Already put 4,500 miles on it. Rain, snow, polar vortex, off road (sorta), long highway drives, mountain curves, it's an amazing car and I've had so much fun with it! Your videos helped with my decision. I really appreciate them! Thank you. Really, it's a...

    Just finished a 1,500 mi CO & UT U.S. West trip

    @snstevens Thank you! I appreciate the advice. Speaking of advice, I don't know if I would call it courageousness or just well researched-ness. LOL. I spent a LOT of time reading this forum and watching videos, asking friends, etc. So I think I new more than the (non-Porsche) dealer about...

    Just finished a 1,500 mi CO & UT U.S. West trip

    None taken. Before I bought the used one, I considered buying used and didn't see that. What shocked me was that was even an option. Who wouldn't want that?!?!?

    Just finished a 1,500 mi CO & UT U.S. West trip

    Wait,...what?? What is the 150kW charging option (for Tesla chargers?) on my car? The first time I charged (same charger) I got 116. I was probably about 10% and charged for 34 minutes. The next day I charged at a higher percentage (but may not have preconditioned) and got a speed of 50 kWh...

    Just finished a 1,500 mi CO & UT U.S. West trip

    Yes. I think it's doing that as I always plug in the location of the charger on the nav, but since the PCM doesn't allow me to search for the name of the location (like Google maps), I question if it is. Going forward, I'm going to record if I did, look at battery temp (now that I know how to...

    Just finished a 1,500 mi CO & UT U.S. West trip

    Thanks Julianm. I guess I'm getting two more adapters.... There is a service mode for the wipers?? The other thing that annoys me is that I can't wipe the full back window with a squeegee when it's dirty. Luckily I have a whole roll of paper towels.. Tomorrow is Magdalena's bath day .

    Just finished a 1,500 mi CO & UT U.S. West trip

    This car is just so incredibly amazing! I’m Denver, CO based. I bought a used `21 Taycan 4CT (“Magdalena”) in December sight unseen from a dealer in NJ. Picked it up Jan. 7, drove it across country (2,500 miles) in a polar vortex and then just finished a 1,500 mile trip as a chaperone for a...
