    Rennlist is a level of OCD I aspire to. :CWL:

    PSA: "J2" Taycan does not exist (yet). 2025 Taycan facelift refresh model = J1.2

    I know this is very nitpicking, pedantic even, but the amount of folks getting this wrong is ridiculous. There is no such thing as a "J2" Taycan. This will be reserved for the next generational leap in a few years. The current facelift Taycan is J1 II or J1.2. It's the same platform as the...

    New Taycan GTS and Taycan 4 Announced

    What's interesting is that in the press releases for the J1 GTS, Porsche quoted a 0-60 time of 3.5s with launch control. Real world tests also confirmed it. Now with the launch of the J1.2 facelift with a 0-60 time of 3.3s, it's only a difference of 0.2s. Makes the J1 GTS looks like a bit of a...

    Macan vs. gen2 Taycan - my thoughts here…

    Not to be pedantic, but it's not "Gen 2", it's the same platform, just face lifted, making it Gen 1.2. Sounds like a silly thing to correct, but it's going to get confusing when the actual Taycan Gen 2 arrives in a few years! Excellent write up, by the way. I'll probably avoid sharing with my...

    Passenger display retrofit install?

    My wife uses it all the time to re-route us if we get stuck in traffic, for example. She also loves being in control of the music...maybe that's a negative? :D Aesthetically speaking, the Taycan's dash looks unfinished without it. Just having a blank panel looks lame. Porsche should have come up...

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

    If the batteries / coolant lines all check out fine, could you take it to a body shop and get the dents pulled out, like you would with any other panel?

    Would you consider trading certain interior and exterior parts due to specific color requirements?

    Your best bet would be to look on eBay / Suncoast / Design911 or a local breaker's yard. Buy the parts you want, and then sell your old parts on eBay to recoup some costs.

    Door puddle lights are sharper than I thought they would be

    I think they are aftermarket, probably AliExpress.

    2025 Taycan prices

    Unlikely on a just launched refresh model. Doesn't hurt to help but ask. Let us know how you get on!

    Next Generation Taycan - what do we want?

    Absolutely! I’d also like them to fix the crazy wide field of vision. Once that’s sorted, an option of a digital rear view mirror would be welcome.

    Rear tyre wear

    This! I even pointed out that it might be different in the US than in the UK.

    Rear tyre wear

    A bit condescending? With all due respect, in addition to research online, it was confirmed by both a Porsche sales guy, and a Porsche tech on two separate occasions and different dealerships. However, your opinion has been noted and duly taken with a pinch of salt.

    Rear tyre wear

    It's not nonsense. Things might be different from America, but this is what I was told directly from two different Porsche dealerships here in the UK. Otherwise, I would also be on 21" PS4S, as Pirelli's just don't last.

    Rear tyre wear

    We had to replace our two front tyres at around 7000 miles! Pirelli P Zero's are known to be quite soft compared to Michelin.etc The problem we had is that Michelin don't do NF0 in 21", not an issue if you're on 20". We only replaced the tyres as we are about to hit winter and didn't want to...

    Depreciation of the 2025 Taycan

    I miss the days of being able to balance the PCP / Lease against the cash in a fund or tracker!

    Depreciation of the 2025 Taycan

    Given the current climate (for the UK at least), I think the 2025 Taycan's depreciation curve will be pretty similar. There's a lot of misinformation regarding EV's, peddled by tabloid sh*trags / social media, which is starting to take its toll with a bit of EV backlash. We still have a cost of...

    Teen Driver Rolls Taycan at 100 MPH

    In some ways it would be better for human evolution if modern cars weren’t so safe. Take the weak links out of the breeding cycle! :CWL:
