    Show me your tubes!

    Tire pressure left, map center, system on the right with date, SOC, battery temp, and compass. HUD has the power meter, nav on right when in use, ACC, lane keep assist, speed and speed limit. Without the HUD I’d probably want the power meter in the center, and I’d miss the map in center for...

    Heads up display blurry?

    I have noticed a similar slightly blurry HUD image and couldn’t find a way to fine tune it. I don’t wear glasses but have started noticing my near vision starting to degrade, I guess I just attributed it to that. It’s not bad enough in my case that it bothers me, or has me wanting to turn off...

    Financing the 4S

    If you set aside business taxes or company lease stipend, I think you answered your own question. Porsche lease terms on the Taycan are garbage and loan terms are incredibly low. Only other reason to consider a lease is if you like the ability to be able to walk away from a problematic car at...

    Financing the 4S

    No, I stopped at BoA on the way to the dealership to check their rates, they quoted me as low as 2.29%, but did have some discounts for which I didn’t qualify for since my only relationship there is a credit card. When we went to the dealership and started the financing I told the associate we...

    Surprisingly it arrived today! Unfortunately I still won’t be able to get it before I leave for a week for work. I’m willing to bet it will spend the week in the showroom!

    SA advised this morning they still had not received word the car was in transport. But I just checked TYD and it now shows the current milestone, Enroute to Porsche Dealership, complete today. Depending on how many stops, if any, the truck needs to make it could be there tomorrow, or the next...

    My SA is great about keeping me updated, he sends me a screen shot of his side of the system every business day in the morning. He said they get an email when the truck leaves port, as of this morning they hadn’t gotten that yet, he said he’d text me as soon as they got it. But I was always...

    Well, I said I wouldn’t stalk TYD, but I couldn’t help getting a little fix, and guess what? It updated to Port Processing on 11/22. So some of you have gotten your cars, or at least at the dealership and no update to TYD. I get an update but no car. I’d rather have your situation than sitting...

    Members Say Hello Here!

    Fair enough, I can appreciate all those viable reasons for leasing. That said, I’m not sure I’d say a couple of thousand, I made an excel spreadsheet for a total cost of ownership at 39 months vs a 39 month lease, including loan balance vs residual value, it was about $8k-$10k in favor of the...

    Thanks, I know it’s waiting transport, or at least that was my last update, but knowing it doesn’t update means I can stop stalking TYD!

    For you guys that have gotten your vehicles, first off, congrats! But I’d also be curious to know what your TYD shows. Does it still show on vessel or did it eventually update, either before or after delivery?

    Members Say Hello Here!

    I’d be curious to know by what measuring stick you are using to make this statement. Given PFS lousy lease terms you’d have to get equally horrible loan terms to say the lease vs loan is break-even. There are plenty of reasons to consider a lease, tax benefits for someone who is self...

    Finally got a meaningful update from my SA. Yesterday or today it updated on their system to reflect the vehicle has arrived in port, passed PDI, and ready for transport as of 11/23. Shows transport and arrival all on 12/3. TYD still shows it on the Siem Confucius with a delivery on 12/24, it’s...

    Talked to mine Saturday. All he said is they recieve an email once the vehicle is on a truck headed to the dealership. Their system was down, so he couldn’t tell me anything more then what I already knew via TYD and vessel tracking. I was hoping TYD would update once it arrived in port, or at...

    I hope it’s not long. We dropped off our trade-in yesterday. So we are down to one vehicle until the Taycan arrives. My wife isn’t super thrilled about having to drive my truck.

    No, but my SA said they recently had a car show up and delivered to the customer before TYD ever showed as processed in the port. We’d all love for TYD to be accurate but it’s just not that reliable unfortunately. Hopefully it updates for you, but I’d rather hear it was delivered to you!

    4S Allocations

    It sounds correct to me. I think what confuses the process is hearing and reading people say “I ordered a …”. You can’t just order a Porsche without an allocation, and maybe this shortage has highlighted that. A dealer can only sell you what he has on the lot, or what they have as an allocation...
