    Location! Location! Location! Post Artistic Photos of Your Taycan with Scenery

    Thanks. It's PTS Viola Metallic, hence the username. I actually think the warmth of the amber is a better accent color than the gray.

    🎨 PTS: PAINT TO SAMPLE Taycan Club & Photos Thread

    Belated greetings. I wonder how many of us there are out there. Mine's a 2024 RWD, and I know that at least one other was produced around the same time and ended up at a dealer in the Los Angeles area. Somebody uploaded an unboxing video in 2022 somewhere in Ohio. Do you know of any others...

    Charging error once I get to 85%

    In order to eliminate the possibility of timers and profiles having a civil war, I would try using only one or the other. I could imagine a scenario where the timer is trying to keep going to 85%, but the profile is capping it at 80%, causing the timer to throw an error.

    Anyone in the Bay Area - San Jose hopefully have a PIWIS tool?

    I hope you mean some other San Jose that has much smoother roads and fewer sharp parking lot exit angles than the one here in California.

    Future Battery Upgrades

    What you say is perfectly reasonable and defensible, but I don't think it's appropriate to declare either (a) that people who place different weights and values are necessarily unreasonable, or that (b) in the future the various externalities of treating automobiles as "disposable appliances"...

    Somewhat Random beeping noise

    This makes me wonder whether it might be resonance between the tires and grooves in the pavement. There are definitely a few places I drive frequently where a lane change causes a consistent and short-lived sound, but I would describe it as more of a hum or buzz than a beep.

    25% Tariffs Impact - Will it change your decision to buy a Porsche?

    Time will tell, but theoretically I think a Taycan might have demand elasticity in the general neighborhood you're putting Ferraris in.

    Options I wish I'd ordered

    I learned all of those things as well, plus the fact that the glass roof is an absolute must-have because it makes the interior feel much more spacious. By the time I finalized my spec, though, I remembered that they are called "options" for a reason, and the things that are important to me are...

    Charging suddenly changed

    I hope that your situation turns out differently from mine, but that's how my troubles with my onboard charger started - after a few days of intermittent failures, it just started refusing to keep charging for more than a few minutes at a time. The entire onboard charger had to be replaced...

    MY 2026 Taycan Configurator is out

    What I found weird about that was that there doesn't seem to be any way to delete the "electric" without also removing the rear model designation.

    PPF - Dealer (Hennessy, Atlanta) Applied?

    I think there is an additional benefit to doing ceramic over PPF that goes beyond the protective aspect - washability. I look at the layer of grit that settles in my wash bucket and wonder how on earth all that grime came off the car without me having to exert any pressure at all. You just have...

    PPF - Dealer (Hennessy, Atlanta) Applied?

    I largely agree with @Mr.Smith here that I would prioritize having somebody local that I could go to to address any problems that come up. The shop that did both my Taycan and the color shift PPF on my spouse's Prius had us come back after a few weeks for free follow-up visits, to check and...

    "Explicit" podcasts won't play?!

    https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/podcast-bug.12926/ might be relevant here.

    Odd Clock Symbol Flashed Up

    I think I can confirm @Throb's findings about time-specific speed limits. I believe I've seen the clock icon you describe when driving near schools that have reduced speed on days when school is in session.

    Any way to deal with delivery after the tariff date?

    California needs more purple Taycans.

    Base Spec Musts (UK)

    It was originally silver, and the interior is dark with red accents. I believe y'all have an idiom of "dog's breakfast" to describe that sort of combination. The good news is that, at least so far, everybody gets so mesmerized trying to figure out just what exactly is going on with the exterior...

    Base Spec Musts (UK)

    Believe it or not, mine is also not the flashiest-looking occupant of our garage. The PPF shop that did the clear covering on mine also wrapped my spouse's Prius in color-shifting mermaid: https://www.ultrafitprotection.com/Home/ppf_ultrafit_xp_aurora_aqua

    What kind of crazy person would drive a purple car? :D

    Base Spec Musts (UK)

    As with everything else I have to say, I have zero idea whether any of this is still relevant for anything past MY2024. At the time I ordered mine, I had benchmarks from somewhere (perhaps even this forum) suggesting that the 20" Turbo Aeros delivered the most range of anything in the standard...
