Is that why the refresh has just a fiberglass panel now supposedly? Or is that a new extra line of defense?

I will have to say that now I’m not so hot on ordering a Taycan, assuming I ever get an allocation. Price has risen, tech has aged, the car is fragile and repair costs high. That really isn’t the dream car I had in mind.

This video was posted before. The original NHTSA doc on the heater failure says something to the effect of “improper welds” or bad solder joints. There is probably more than one failure mode, since there were successive models of the heater.

Re: backup cameras: I’m not sure this is an apples to apples comparison. This video near the end shows toggling the backup camera view from fish-eye to “straightened” via geometrical image warping. The two photos you posted, the top one appears to be image warped to eliminate the fish eye...

“Push-to-pass” is just a marketting term because it refers to such a named system in a race car. Obviously, what you do after you push the button is up to you and doesn’t have to be limited strictly to “passing” ;) it is however, a warranty covered non-LC power boost, which may provide some...

So much dogma. Adjust the seat so that you are comfortable. It’s your car, do with it as you like.

Same as I am wondering. Let us know how it goes.

Can CarPlay be used to show Netflix or Prime Video instead of fooling with the odd Porsche solution. I’d like to hear how Active Ride deals with cobblestone or heavily tree root laden roads, as well as PASSENGER comfort experience of windy roads at speed with the leaning enabled.

tbat’s correct, currently the Surround View with Active Parking Support is the top-down 2D surround view with in-car parking. The Remote Park Assist adds out-of-car remote parking and 3D view but drops the side views and maybe the 2D surround view. My understanding is that RPA cannot handle my...

I would like to see proof of that claim. So far, people ordering MY25 Taycans have generally reported paying MSRP or getting only small discounts.

I am now thinking that the ridiculous amount of time I’ve been waiting to order a Taycan may be the universe trying hard to give me time to decide not to…

Using the inventor search, I see today that lots or even most of the US launch vehicles that had the little tagline “available from July 2024”, now are showing August. And one of them I was told would be in end of June. I wonder what’s going on.

Well…. this is something to ponder. The Tesla website claims I could have M3P delivery July/Aug this year, not next year after and estimated 1.5 years of waiting for Porsche allocation, production, and delivery.

The USA launch vehicles are slated to arrive the end of June, beginning of July. Maybe you’ve been bumped by Porsche to get their dealer lot vehicles in place to show and sell.

So this is a little astonishing. Isn’t the case with traditional non-adjustable sports car suspensions that the as the car leans towards the outside of a curve, compressing the suspension on that side, that the suspension is engineered to increase camber? And decrease as it comes back up...

The base Taycan (without any other words) is the RWD model. Starting with the “4” and going up in price, they are “4WD” / AWD, with front motor.

I wouldn’t put much faith in the veracity of things like that, judging from first hand experience of management types misspeaking about embedded systems I’ve worked on. It does seem like something a professional spokesperson would not do. Now that this on-camera moment has blown out of...

I should have posted at the beginning that I knew that, and I was hoping to avoid spending money on a paper copy when all I really want is electronic copy for free.

I was hoping for more detail in two fronts: the 2020/2021 PDF floating around has a lot of things with just placeholder references to the “digital” manual. These seem to be mostly optional features (such as the audio systems, self/remote parking, parking displays) although inclusion is...

Although I have a myporsche login (which isn’t working), my understanding is that it works similarly to other manufacture although I have a myporsche login (which isn’t working), would I be able to see docs if I don’t own a Taycan? On other manufacturer sites, you can only see docs for cars...
