Not looking to escalate at this moment. Do not wish for anyone to lose their jobs/livelihood. On Customer Satisfaction Surveys. This is the most important KPI for a sales. This is what their job entails. It is very important and every time I fill one out I am honest and direct and always...

Want to update everyone here. So we ended up not test driving due to the Covid lockdowns in Shanghai, but we're very lucky to have picked up the car yesterday, right before further lockdown restrictions. Wife has not allowed me to try out Launch Control yet. Thanks for voting!

Even for flagship, directly owned dealers? Yes, you are right, we should have stamped everything ourselves. This is our first car as a family, so we are rather inexperienced in the whole car buying process.

Hi guys, Want some advice and views here. My wife and I picked up our Taycan. We were asked to bring our stamps (in where we live, stamps are used as opposed to signatures) and the sales went on to stamp the remaining "pick up car" documents. One of the documents was Customer Service...

Electrocuted would be a misnomer as the prerequisite would be to have a functioning EV at his disposal.

Stagflation sucks real bad. Global monetary policy is stuck in a weird place. Consumer spending will be downhill unless Ukraine/Russia agree on some terms, any terms for a ceasefire.

Perfect timing...given the trajectory of crude oil prices/gasoline. On the back of my mind, I am seeing increased adoption of EVs given the current geopolitical landscape and crude oil prices, but suppliers will not be able to meet demand, so net-net, it's a bit of a standstill. Supply-side...

Don't mean to pour salt on the would but... Don't forget about the current hole your retirement accounts/risk asset investments are in. Though, if you're very savvy and rich, the money would be in an uncorrelated strategy. Open up the market indices. Most traditional 401k's that track North...

Anything about 2021s?

One time fee. The governments been dissuading ICE cars country wide for quite some time. The influx of both new cars and migrants from other cities. The real fun now will be how the charging network holds up. By volume of charging stations, China is in the top range, how usable they are is...

Go You can start the process in advance. Blue plates are tied to the person /entity. EV plates are specific to the vehicle.

Very good points. Might do something like that this weekend! Maybe rent a x-peng. Curious how it drives at that price point.

I asked the dealer the exact same question. The response was "they didn't think a car with that power and price tag should get subsidized like a run-of-the-mill EV." Here in Shanghai, traditional license plates (Blue plates) for ICE require a lottery/bidding system for new issuance at a...

Thanks for the good wishes everyone! Any tips on avoiding the cyclists, electric bikers, and delivery guys?

Yep, fully committed. Probably another excuse to go to the Porsche dealer ha. Realistically, driving in a new country with different etiquettes is still quite daunting. Jokingly, my wife recommends that we go test drive a 992 with no near-term intention of buying one in a few months, which is...

Hey electric porkers, Doing a quick poll on whether to test drive the car that's already paid in full before estimated pickup in 1-2 weeks' time. A little context: I did not hold a Chinese driver's license so during the time of choosing a vehicle, I was not able to actually test drive any...

I would have definitely gotten the Turbo S if I already had an existing blue license plate lol. Base is still super nice regardless. Turbo S is just too fast. Probably rack up 12-points in the first month of driving. Maybe that's why the previous owners are selling it here.

With your options on the base 2022 Taycan (my guess, saw the Burmeister on there and assume you probably optioned everything else in there), I think you can get a 2020 Taycan Turbo S, or at least very close to it. Turbo, Turbo S -40% from China sticker price so far. Only downside is you can't...

That is very, very nice!

Could you take a wider angle shot of the new upgraded dashboard? So we get to see the whole new dash with the alcantara w/ full steering wheel. It looks very nice indeed.
