You'll be fine without it.

FWIW this error has not been fixed and for anyone with the .81 app your only method to initiate a 350kw charge is to call EA or use your card. EA will immediately start a free charging session, though, with no questions asked. I told them that Porsche Connect is refusing to fix the issue and...

I personally think winter tires are an easy and cheap investment if you anticipate driving on snow or ice at all. You're extending the life of your normal tires so you're really just paying for the install. A new set of wheels for them is a nice luxury and if I was on 21"s I'd probably do it...

This faster 0-60 time trend needs to stop. It's a crutch many EV manufacturers are using to avoid making cars that drive well & have high quality. The Lucid Air does 0-60 in 2 seconds!!!!!!! Oh, yeah, so we don't have working brakes on it, we haven't figured out the suspension, it randomly...

*Macans and Cayennes In the US Porsche nearly sells both more Macans AND more Cayennes than all of their cars combined.

@thecoloradokid I'm SO glad to hear this! I know you've had a helluva time with your Taycan and it's fantastic that you finally got to really enjoy it! I couldn't agree more. The Taycan makes an amazing road trip car. Yes, you have to plan stops and the chargers are occasionally a bit fickle...

Mine works flawlessly but I have to kind of press & swipe it, like unlocking a phone. It's not a simple tap.

Is there any car that has a decent navigation system? I'm serious. Use a 3rd party EV app. Use Google maps or Waze. Problem solved in 30 seconds. It's not like you should suddenly be going "oh no, I need to charge!" and then try to get the Nav to help you while driving. You should always be...

Gotcha. Yeah, that's not good. 11% degradation shouldn't be happening within the first 150,000 km. I'd take it in to the shop.

I'm trying to think of the best way to put it. I find those smaller cars, specifically RS3/M4./Model 3, to be zippy/jumpy in a kind of unsettled way. A lot of people like that, though. I do have RWS steering and find the Taycan amazingly agile. I tend to use "zippy" as more of a negative in my...

I'm confused. What are you using to determine capacity? No customer facing kWh capacity number is available on the Taycan. You can only speculate by using charging numbers vs SOC %.

I'm in the US but my insurance is quite affordable. Comparable or less than any other luxury sedan/SUV I've had. Much less than a 992 was quoted at.

You do. I do not have power folding mirrors but I have the puddle lights, standard everywhere I believe. Just not logo'd unless you option it.

@LovinTaycan You specc'd a 4S to $166k and the dealership didn't take a non refundable deposit? Yikes. It's not the car that's the issue there it's the options and that you want to lease a Porsche. MB has decent leases, Porsche does not. In terms of base price, I'd be surprised if the Taycan...

Well, very different cars. The Model 3 is more of a punchy small(ish) car that is designed to be economical & practical. The Taycan 4S is a bigger, luxurious GT car. The Taycan well outclasses the Model 3 in sportiness, luxury, & ride quality, but you might miss the "zippiness" & city use of a...

@Chuck J Awesome write-up and I love your spec! What a classy color combination! Have you thought about swapping out the amber markers to the clear ones? Just for reference, the item you have listed as "Lane Change Assist" is actually "Lane Keep Assist" and it is indeed terrible. "Lane Change...

I wouldn't say it's ugly as sin but I do think it has that "hey, look at my hipster EV" thing that Tesla's have while somehow still looking a little generic/soccer parent esque. Just personal taste, though. I personally wouldn't buy one regardless of quality because of the looks (and I'm not...

Not very excited about any of the stuff released today. The configurator doesn't really seem to work on my phone so that's unnerving. They REALLY seem to be banking on the extra range being worth.. uh.. everything. Outside of the range numbers the car seems pretty meh to me, just kind of ideas...

Yes, but all of the cool kids in the US swap it back to clear.

I find it very hard to believe they'll be successful but I really hope I'm wrong. I have so far found the Air to be too similar to the competition to stand out. I doubt it's range numbers stack up to real world use, literally every company exaggerates their EVs range, and it's stuck on the same...
