    Taycan Turbo from SF to South Lake Tahoe….nonstop?

    I go from East Bay (30 miles closer to Tahoe than SF) to Reno / Tahoe quite a bit. Leave Bay Area @ 100%, make it to Truckee EA usually with 10 miles or less, lead foot. 4S CT. Not sure if Turbo will make it up without a stop well before getting into he mountains. -ThinkMac-

    Tesla Fanboy Journey

    Agreed with @daveo4EV points. I'm both a Tesla and Porsche fanboy. both brands do what they do best. and I drive both. Tesla a LOT more for road trips (wife loves Tesla as her daily). CT4S for me as a daily. about to hit 40k miles since picking up in Feb 2022. bottom line (IMHO, of...

    Just installed Ring dash cam over the weekend. Anybody using one?

    I would not say it sucks. Agreed with the ease of install. The video quality if fine for me. The 20-second clip does seem to suck, but I think for the functionality of it being a dash cam, it's fine. You only need clips when you have accident/events. Then just pull the part you need. You...

    Just watched the movie. Mirage and the 911 RS had a lot of screen time. Would be nice to have the poster be of just Mirage in bot and car form. found this in the Porsche press room. -ThinkMac-

    One week after 6 years in Tesla Model S to Taycan Turbo

    Wait. I thought PID only monitors speed, so it can vary speed depending on your driving and road topography. There is no lane control in PID. ALK does the lane controls. for something similar to Tesla EAP. You'll need PID, ACC and ALK. Tesla EAP and AutoPilot is way better than PID (if we...

    Just installed Ring dash cam over the weekend. Anybody using one?

    So far, I like it. Keeps my ChronoSport compass company. :) I backed dRIDE4k on kickstarter, but now being a year late. I gave up on it. Bought Ring Dashcam when Amazon started selling them earlier this year. Install was super easy. ODBII Port for power. Mounting was super easy. some...

    New to the forum: Hello!

    Nice cars!! How did you like the Karma? I like the styling, but felt they missed the boat by going plug-in, instead of full BEV. There's no way to link the key fob to driver profiles/memory settings. You just have to hit the memory recall button for your adjustments every time you get in...

    Do you guys pay markup or MSRP for your Taycan?

    Porsche Marin in the Bay Area. MSRP. They didn't even take a deposit. I fax over signed agreement. Paid when I went to pick up the car. -ThinkMac-

    Real world range

    I have a '22 CT 4S, with the 21" Cross Turismo Design wheels. Full charge says 230, I never tested to the full drain. But I do road trips to SoCal quite a bit. My first stop is 180 miles away, and usually it's between 45-50 miles left on the battery. That's my most direct use case for...

    Porsche Rear Seat Entertainment (PRSE) Information

    Most important question. How much did the whole thing cost? Did the dealer charge for coding? Have 2 screens in the back, opportunist might think iPad and break window to grab one. Can you unlock and take or hide it easily? -ThinkMac-

    Report: Charging my Taycan at Tesla Supercharger with new CCS compatible magic dock

    150kW is no brainer, glad I spec it when ordering. Bought it with the understanding that Tesla will open up their Supercharging network. Don't knock the Supercharging network, it works. I'm just hoping they'll open up more than 10%. -ThinkMac-

    GENTIAN BLUE Taycan Club

    It's red in the US (or maybe North America). EU and ROW gets clear side markets, yellow tail lights. we can get the clear side markers here, but as far as I can tell from initial search, we can't get yellow tail lights. Dealer wouldn't (or couldn't) order them for me. -ThinkMac-

    Will you test drive the Mercedes EQS?

    I really wanted the EQS SUV for this tax year. 179 write-off. BUT, the local dealers want $25k - $50k markup. the higher the trim, the higher the mark up. One dealer was able to do MSRP, but no delivery in 2022 unless I paid markup. Argh. Endup with a X Plaid due to end of quarter end...
