    2024 Model 3 Performance

    Probably a stupid question, but do you have the electric steering column? Having it move up automatically was something that I was keen on getting, but when I placed my order a little over a year ago, I was told that a chip shortage meant that they were reserving that option for the higher...

    2024 Model 3 Performance

    FWIW, there's a Rennlist thread about this from 2006, so it's not Taycan-specific by any means.

    2024 Model 3 Performance

    I don't think so. I've never once touched that "Google" button, and I get the "restricted access" disclaimer any time I go somewhere that involves a private road.

    Underbody Protection Panel damaged. Batteries and coolant lines need inspection. $72.5K replacement & labor cost. Dealership is Tom Wood in Indiana

    https://www.sunsetporscheparts.com/oem-parts/porsche-battery-9j1915099ah also claims to be compatible with a 2021 Turbo S, and if you order in the next 10 minutes, they're having a massive sale with a whopping $14.58 discount. Same story with...

    smartlift lowering the car when parked

    I can't speak to the larger issue here, but I suspect that's not solely PDCC, because I have observed that same little "shimmy" phenomenon at traffic lights, and my car doesn't have PDCC.

    Taycan production slowdown

    Unlike the rest of us mere mortals, you won't even have to wait for yours to be transported on a boat, because it'll be able to simply zoom across the North Sea so quickly that the water won't even notice.

    Recall - Front Brake Hoses Can Crack and Leak Fluid (ARB0) - June 19, 2024 -- [2020-2025 Taycan]

    FWIW, the service department at my dealer says Porsche is estimating end of July for being able to provide parts for ARB0 service.

    Charging Problem

    When you say "come up short", can you measure how much it actually is charging each time you try? The other piece of information that might be useful would be an OBDII report. I went through a time where everything looked like it was fine, but the charging session would stop just a few minutes...

    🎨 PTS: PAINT TO SAMPLE Taycan Club & Photos Thread

    Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find a photo of my car's sister. I'm not sure if it was a special order that a customer backed out on, but it was listed for a couple of weeks right around the end of 2023 at Woodland Hills, so I assume that it is likely somewhere in the LA area.

    Pricing on 2025 orders

    If OP's profile location is accurate, I don't think that would be a concern. CA Vehicle Code 11736 says that dealers must return all deposits upon demand by the purchaser as long as the transaction has not completed, including the purchaser taking delivery of the car.

    first timer ppf / wrap questions

    If you google "OCDetailing aurora aqua prius", you will find a video showing before, during and after of the process of turning my spouse's car from silver to color-shifting green-to-blue mermaid. The film they used is 9mm, which is even a bit thicker than the 8mm clear STEK DynoSHIELD that's on...

    My New Oak Green Metallic 2024 Taycan

    If you ever wake up one morning and find it stolen, you should probably aim the cops in the direction of my spouse. Gorgeous color choices.

    Reason for Taycan heater failures?

    I have no idea what ever happened to this tech, but it seems that Macronix tried to make lemonade out of this particular lemon about a decade ago, if I'm reading that whitepaper correctly. What you call "corruption" or "content decay" they tried to treat as "self-healing" that could purportedly...

    Red Circle of DEATH

    I was deliberately ignoring that, but probably shouldn't have been, because: ...this was what I had in mind for that, and you're right. Extrapolating my several-days-worth experience of what I call "lawnmower mode" into several months would indeed be frustrating, although perhaps less so if it...

    Red Circle of DEATH

    I'm a bit leery of entering into this because you seem to have so much more domain knowledge than I do, but it would seem to me like there are a couple of key factors there that might make that choice not quite so simple. 1. Factoring all of the externalities involving shipping batteries that...

    Taycan production slowdown

    I thought one of the big selling points of EVs was the complete lack of exhaust.
