    December 2021 Delivery

    That’s good news. The last schedule I saw for the Siem Cicero still showed TBN for its next voyage. Any idea what it’s departure date is now? And perhaps an arrival date in Jacksonville, FL? TYD shows us on a boat on 11/26, surely it will not need to sit in port for over 3 weeks. Thanks!

    December 2021 Delivery

    Ours just arrived at Emden today. Someone on Rennlist posted today that they spoke to the shipping company over the weekend who said the Siem Confucious is set to leave tomorrow, 11/2. Any idea if ours has even an outside chance of getting on it, or is that too much wishful thinking that it...

    Are Electrical power surges damaging?

    Sorry, that one looks to be for 120v operations. Like I said though, surely something out there exists, question will be how financially feasible it might be. It’s also worth looking into what kind of surge protection might exist in either the Porsche Mobile charger, or perhaps using one that...

    Are Electrical power surges damaging?

    Perhaps something like this if you are concerned. I can’t promise this exact one is compatible with EV charging, but I have to believe something out there exists to address your concerns...

    FROZEN BLUE Taycan Club

    That’s good to hear, especially as someone who’s Frozen Blue 4S is on its way to Emden now, having ordered it based on pictures and a small panel in the showroom. One thing we knew, a bold car deserves a bold color, certainly wasn’t a typical safe color like we’ve had on our Macan’s. We even did...

    December 2021 Delivery

    Sorry if I was unclear, the dates I listed were the final delivery date, which until recently had been the only date that was bouncing around. Now it’s on it way to Emden, some of the other dates have also shifted. It’s just funny how these dates seem to be estimates of an arbitrary nature until...

    Lease or buy 2022 CT4S?

    There’s no question purchasing, even via a loan is a cheaper way to go, unless you have a business/tax reason to lease. If you want to use a lease to hedge losses just in case something bad happens so that you can walk away from an exceptionally depreciated car, than only you can decide what...

    December 2021 Delivery

    Our date has all the sudden started jumping around now that production is complete awaiting transport to Emden. Started at 12/10, went to 12/17, then back to 12/10, but now says 12/24. Many of you are reporting no open campaigns on your vehicles, how are you finding that info? Asking your...

    Lease or buy 2022 CT4S?

    I’m very much in the same boat as you, no business benefit to lease, can afford either, with a dec delivery of a 4S at $134k. While I was initially leaning lease I’m more likely to buy. I built a rough comparison Excel spreadsheet and given all the same variables, when buying, on a 72 month...

    December 2021 Delivery

    Our 4S original build date was to be 10/15, with delivery on 12/10. On the 12th the build date changed to 10/22 with a new delivery on 12/17, however, yesterday (10/19) it actually started production, though no other dates have changed so far. So don’t be surprised if it actually starts before...

    Suggestions on options / packages add-ins for base Taycan?

    IMO, $40k in upgrades you are better off, both financially and performance, upgrading to a 4S. More HP, more standard features that are upgrades on the base, better residual value, etc. Options don’t hold their value as much as higher models will. Base Taycan starts at $82,500, add $40k, you...

    Members Say Hello Here!

    Yes, on the 12th the build start date delayed 1 week to 10/22, that pushed the delivery 1 week as well to 12/17 currently.

    Delivery delays

    If you don’t have an actual build number then it sounds like you have been put on your dealer’s wait list for a future allocation. My dealer told me they won’t know until November what their 1Q22 allocations will be, perhaps yours will be a similar time frame as well. It’s worth asking how many...

    Heads up display

    I wonder how many who say they dislike the look of the dash have actually seen it in person vs pictures on this forum or other places on the internet. The vast majority of the pictures I’ve seen require a higher angle, much higher than eye level, to properly show the HUD shroud. That angle...

    Add passenger screen, longer wait?

    We think of technology adding to possible delays and I’m not sure that things like the additional screen, or anything else in the technology package or other high tech option for that matter, being anymore unavailable than simple things like TMPS. Today’s cars have so many computers and...

    Advice on my RWD as freeze is tomorrow

    To each their own. I had asked about this to our SA, as well as the PIRM, he admittedly wasn't sure what to recommend. We stopped in today to make a change or two to our build and drop off a hold deposit, a trainer from Porsche USA/ATL had been in and left a CT4 for display in the showroom for...

    4S Build

    I’m fairly sure those were still 2021 numbers, our SA suggested if they move it would likely go up slightly. But we’ll have to see what happens when 2022 numbers are published. No experience with RAS, those who have it seem to like it. ACC, we had a 2017 Macan S without it, and now a 2020 with...

    4S Build

    Beautiful build! We considered white briefly, but my wife wanted something a little more daring, so we are doing frozen blue with the painted mission E wheels. We are just under $135k, as we aren’t adding many of the interior and accent options you selected. And we aren’t doing the chrono...

    Advice on my RWD as freeze is tomorrow

    Fair point, although as someone who placed an opening day reservation on the Model 3 years ago, where I essentially gave Tesla a $1000 loan with no return on investment except a promise I now believe he knew he would never be able to deliver on, the thought of giving Elon another dollar of my...

    Advice on my RWD as freeze is tomorrow

    Correct me if I’m wrong, as I’ve seen all different recommendations on this option, but aren’t you only limited to 50kw if it’s a 400v station. It’s my understanding there are virtually no 400v stations in the US that are also cable of over 50kw. I understand it’s a relatively inexpensive...
