    Wow, you certainly seem to be well versed in this area. Oddly, I believe our EV's have their chargers built-in and the external 'charger' we know just regulates the flow of energy or something. Here at my home I have an Amazon brand 32-amp charger and it works great with anything I plug it...

    Newbie questions

    Hey guys, I just pulled the trigger on a 2021 Turbo S with just 870 miles and in pristine condition. Loving it so far, one of the most beautiful cars ever and I plan to use it as my daily. The dealer already invited me to come back for some more 'training' but I had a few questions I'd like to...

    Decisions: 2020/21 Turbo S v new GTS

    Is it wrong or weird that I just spent 10 minutes staring at the picture?

    Decisions: 2020/21 Turbo S v new GTS

    Hey guys, it's been a while since I was active on a forum so I'm a bit rusty with how the forum displays. As you can see, I posted a pic from today, here's the full set. Today was the first time I saw a Taycan up-close and I have to say, with no exaggeration..... I actually had my breath taken...

    Decisions: 2020/21 Turbo S v new GTS

    WORD! and be careful with spewing reason, logic and truth....few can handle it UNLESS they have a specifically tuned psychologically adjusted attitude! : P I'll ask you to scroll down to review my fun at the dealer today, I think you'll be happy with my decision

    Decisions: 2020/21 Turbo S v new GTS

    The GTS arriving in December will be black/black but beyond that there are no details. Which options it'll have, which features I'd like (which features I don't care for)....it'll all be luck of the draw. Also, they have openly told me they will be getting MSRP + $10k so I'm fairly certain...

    Decisions: 2020/21 Turbo S v new GTS

    Okay, now THIS is what I wanted to hear and address.....one 2 levels First, I entirely agree on the speed: compared to most other vehicles (EV or ICE) almost any model of Taycan will be a-plenty! I bought my Jag I-pace not even realizing it had the kind of power & handling that it has, I think...

    Decisions: 2020/21 Turbo S v new GTS

    I'm inclined to agree with you. The dealer actually told me they have a few GTS's coming in towards December and were pressuring me to 'put my name on one'....but yeah, I'm sure there will be mark-up's and you are darn correct: 1k miles is pretty much 0 miles! And let's also consider, the resale...

    You guys want to see something a bit spooky.....check out the Hyundai Ionic 6, the guy even cites that it seems inspired by Porsche! Look at the front & rear, rather spooky, something we'd put our kids in!

    I'm new to P-cars but unless I'm mistaken the Turbo S will already come with almost everything that's optioned on the lesser models?

    Decisions: 2020/21 Turbo S v new GTS

    I appreciate your thoughts. Admittedly, I often order water at restaurants because paying $2.95 - $4.25 for iced tea or a soda seems like a rip-off. Stating it simple; despite what wealth I may have, I still make decisions as if I were still a little boy getting $5/week allowance. I'm frugal and...

    Decisions: 2020/21 Turbo S v new GTS

    Honestly uncertain, the saleswoman sent me a pic of the build sheet and it actually list the price at $161k but from what I've heard they are tacking-on about $10k as a straight-up gouging maneuver. She didn't indicate if there were additional cost but at the risk of sounding pompous, once...

    Decisions: 2020/21 Turbo S v new GTS

    Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a Tacyan but I've got some decisions to make, I've got a line on 2 used (certified preowned) Taycan's, both are Turbo S's and one has 1k miles and the other 5k miles, both can be had for about $175k-$180k and you can see these cars at Beverly Hills Porsche or Santa...

    Taycan as a daily driver for a working hands-on guy?

    E-bike? Oh hell no! E-bike is for senior citizens and invalids. My bike only moves when I peddle it! : P I wouldn't use the Taycan for transporting the bike.

    Taycan as a daily driver for a working hands-on guy?

    LOL, I changed the title of the thread. As for the CT, I don't mean to offend anyone but the style/shape doesn't appeal to me. I'm looking for the bad-ass sports car. I frankly wish the Taycan was a 2-door. What's bothering me is that on occasion I'll need to use the car to haul some feed...

    Taycan as a daily driver for a working hands-on guy?

    I've always bought my cars and kept them until almost run into the ground. We bought the I-pace because I was commuting to and from a ranch/farm and racking up huge miles on the Hummer H2 and then a Honda HRV.....my wife wanted me in something nicer and something EV (for the environment). The...

    Taycan as a daily driver for a working hands-on guy?

    Yeah but I don't find them attractive, especially the front.....doesn't do it for me but thanks for the thought

    Taycan as a daily driver for a working hands-on guy?

    I'm kinda stuck on an EV....got addicted, no longer a fan of gasser's (plus I have enough of them already)

    Taycan as a daily driver for a working hands-on guy?

    Hey guys, The wife keeps stealing my Jaguar I-pace and I'm thinking about snapping-up a 2021 Taycan Turbo S at a local dealership. Actually, if you care to take a look it's a 2021 Black with about 1k miles listed as pre-owned over at Santa Barbara Porsche, looks pretty sharp and I they they are...

    Battery life 3-5 years?

    There certainly seems to be quite a bit of debate and opinions when it comes to one pedal driving, many people love it, some people hate it and the majority of people fall somewhere in between but either way, I believe having the option would really be the ultimate solution and, as has been...
