I haven't gotten it yet, but when I do I will mos def write about it here :-).

I agree, this sounded a bit weird to me as well. He mentioned that the Porsche specific charging cable should have a ’P’ in a triangle symbol on it, and as long as it has that it will charge the 12V battery as well. Would be nice though to have this confirmed from additional (reliable) sources.

I asked my dealer, and the service guy told me that if I used the Porsche original charging cable, it will charge the 12V battery while charging the high voltage batteries — don't know if this is correct as I haven't heard that anywhere else, but that's what he said... I also asked a sales guy...

My current 2023 GTS ST cost ~$190K new (it came pretty loaded), while I paid ~$125K used (1 prior owner, 1,5 years, 13.7K miles, 96% SoH); a similarly configured new 2025 GTS ST (some options skipped, some options added) will cost ~$213K (https://porsche-code.com/PS7SAKH8), so as usual Porsche...

Perhaps a stupid question, but won't the 12V battery be continuously charged as well when the car is plugged in -- or does the 12V battery have to be charged separately from the car's battery pack?

Congrats on a great deal! I'm in a GTS ST '23 (Jet black with full black leather and most if not all factory options, and a Redshift order pending :–). I had just sold my RS6 Avant '14, and had a Cayman GTS 4.0 '21 as my second car, but when I got the Taycan GTS I realised that for me, it...

Thanks for input. I had no issues with tyre rubbing while steering, even taking sharp turns — it was only when I went over minor speed bumps (asphalt "buns" used for forcing low speeds) *and* I had the chassis in the lowest setting that I could hear/feel rubbing of the tyre in the wheel house...

I'll try when I get the opportunity -- I left the spacers at my tire dealer's garage and more or less forgot about them :–). Right now I'm contemplating whether I should get a new set of 20" winter rims (with new 20" winter tires); if I should just get a set of 21" winter tires and switch on my...

My apologies for the un-intentional hi-jacking with regards to the battery issues discussion — I initially commented on the pricing and made a comparison with my own car, but then got side-tracked…. Your car looks great btw! :-)

Shouldn't a diagnostic analysis of the batteries be able to ascertain whether any battery cells were actually impacted (damaged) or not in conjunction with such a dent event? I recently did a battery diagnosis on my 2023 Taycan GTS Sport Turismo via Aviloo (out of curiosity, i.e...

Thanks for the link! I read the first couple of pages and was surprised to learn that such a small dent in the shield could possibly damage the batteries — I would have thought Porsche made the construction such that there is a margin between the shield and the batteries so that smaller damages...

Say what now? I've never heard anything about smaller dents in the shield under the car possibly leading to any issues with the battery packs — shouldn't the shield be able to protect the battery properly even with such a small dent?

Similar pricing situation here in Sweden -- my 2023 GTS Sport Turismo listed for ~$184K new; after 1 owner/18 months/13,6K miles, I bought it via a Porsche Center with 18 months remaining warranty/free service/subsidized insurance for ~116K (~68K down). My current plan is to keep it for another...

Will do. I've just sent them a fitness inquiry regarding my specific vehicle and rim model (I want their written confirmation that it will fit before I order).

Me neither, but I noticed on their page that you can order them without their logo (so that you can either leave them unbranded or find a heat resisistant Porsche logo to put on :–).

Thanks for the calliper cover tip, I will absolutely look into that.

I haven't taken many photos yet, but here's another I took at the same occasion where you can see the rims more clearly (I have since installed rim center caps as well, and I went with matching Satin Platinum with monochrome crest). I haven't heard about calliper covers before (and no paint...

Myself I have had the Satin Black RS Spyder rims on my GTS Sport Turismo repainted in Satin Platinum (I've also replaced the coloured Porsche badge with the new Turbonite badge; my only remaining issue with the exterior are the red brake callipers, which I would really like to replace with black...

To me the J1 looks better with the more "indented" front lights -- on the J1.2 the lights are flush with the bumper which to me is a much more conventional (i.e. boring :–) design solution. In most cases I think a facelift makes the older model look dated, but both when it comes to the Taycan...

Thanks to everyone who's commented. I was at the tyre shop today, and the guys there made the following observations: 1) I have the Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres on the car, and Goodyear tyres are generally quite a bit wider than Pirelli tyres (even when the formal width spec is identical), and they...
