    Windshield Xpel wrap?

    I just had the Xpel Windshield Protection Film installed on my Cross Turismo. I don't see the glue marks or fold lines you are noticing. Mine is clear. I can see some slight distortion on the very bottom of the pasenger side windshield (where the dashboard is) if I quickly move my head from side...

    Mind-blowing values/depreciation

    I ordered and purchased my Cross Turismo during the pandemic, sight unseen for a little less than MSRP. The dealer didn't have a Taycan to even sit in or see color choices in person. Since the Taycan is electric, I fully expected the car to depreciate. It is the best car I have purchased new, I...

    Porsche not what it once was, is the Taycan a lemon?

    Sometimes I think its just luck of the draw..... So far, I am the opposite of you. Knock on wood, but my 2022 Cross Turismo has been reliable. On the other hand, my 1997 Acura NSX was not - EPS rebuilt twice along with the common NSX problems - climate control unit needed repair, ABS needed...

    Would you buy again ?

    I voted Yes. It's been the best car I have purchased new. I've been driving EVs since 2012 and the Taycan was the 5th. I fully expected the Taycan to depreciate, just like any other EV. I ordered a base 4CT spec'd how I wanted it and didn't worry about resale value. I bought the car...

    Believe it or not, I've only had one person ask me about the color since I purchased the car in May 2022. It doesn't attract the attention I thought it would in my area of Northern CA. When I had my 1997 Acura NSX it constantly got thumbs up and waves on almost every drive. Then again, a Porsche...

    Why the Styling 'Refresh'??

    I saw a 2025 Taycan 4 CT in the showroom and thought it looked better in person than in the pics I have seen. What really surprised me is how much the price has increased since I bought our 4CT in May of 2022. I guess I haven't been keeping up with current pricing. Most likely will not get a new...

    Aftermarket shade for the panoramic sunroof

    I live in the Sacramento, CA area and last July, we had a record of 21 days with 100+ F temperatures. Of those 21 days, 13 days were greater than 105 F and 5 days were greater than 110 F. I have the Groovy shades also and have not experienced any sagging at all. I would say it is better than...

    Do you sell the charger with the car?

    I sold 2 cars during the pandemic - a 2016 Chevy Volt back to the dealer I bought it from and a 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance to a Toyota dealer. Both places specifically asked me if the mobile charger (EVSE) was included with the car. I brought both cars to Carmax to get an offer and even...

    RANT: Why won't Porsche fulfill recalls???

    Just an FYI for Taycan owners in the Sacramento/Northern CA area. Both Niello Porsche dealerships (Porsche Rocklin and Porsche Sacramento) have the parts for the brake hose and EVSE cable recalls. Scheduled mine for this Tuesday at Porsche Sacramento with loaner car...

    What options are

    I have all these options on our Cross Turismo (except have compass instead of chrono) and I absolutely love the Massage Seats. I've had some lower back pain for a while now and the Shiatsu setting of the massage seats really help. Me personally, I would get them again..

    2025 Taycan 4s Cross Turismo delivery | Offroad Package looks off

    I agree - I think this would be the best opion. You can always remove the wrap and the original paint will still be there. I ordered Vesuvius Grey for my 2022 and it's a little darker. The PPF shop wrapped the pieces with Xpel Stealth to give it a matte look (see pic). They said it was easy to...

    New charger cable plug points away from wall

    The EVSE plug which came with our 2023 Mini Cooper SE points the same way. A Mini forum member contacted BMW and was told the EVSE is still fully functional as supplied and they would not replace or remanufacture it. Since we have two wall mounted EVSEs, I usually just store the one supplied...

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

    I just got my insurance renewal cost and the comprehensive portion of the policy more than doubled - from $845/year to $1,711/year. I called our insurance (AAA - CSAA) and the reason I was given was the rising cost in parts and repair bills. This is for a Taycan 4 CT. Watching this thread makes...

    Any recommendations on 21inch wheels for Taycan 4 CT

    These are 21" Signature Wheels - Monoblock SV101. The wheels are made to order, so you can specify your own offsets. Even though they are 21", they are noticeably lighter than the OEM 20". I purchased these from Terrance - read his thread here: Signature Wheel - Now Here For The Taycan! |...

    Better tech in the new Mini

    OP - Thanks for your thoughts on the new Mini SE. We have a 2022 Cross Turismo and a 2023 Mini Cooper SE. I was curious about the new SE because of the increased range, but not likely to see one in the states until they are made in Oxford again. Driving the 2023 SE is very fun, but the range is...
