    How many would buy again?

    I would not buy a Taycan again. My 2020 Taycan Turbo was an excellent car to drive. The software bugs kept the car in the shop for a total of four weeks, which was longer than any Porsche I have owned going back to 2001. The range was on the low end and using the Porsche Mobile Charger was a...

    Did your first Taycan have a failed heater?

    Innodrive and Charging Questions

    I did not use it very much, but I appreciate the rear cross path detection and intersection assist that are bundled with it. You cannot get these features without InnoDrive

    Reliability Survey: Taycan #1 of the ...

    I think I would have purchased my 2020 off lease if I had more confidence in the annoying issues getting fixed like the lost LTE connection and home charging problems. I did not experience the heater problem and my battery was okay for the three years.

    Buy-out Lease or Turn-in - 2020 Porsche Taycan 4S

    I just turned my 2020 Turbo in at the end of lease. My concern was the potential value of the car in the last few years of the battery warranty. I took delivery on a 2023 Panamera GTS as a hedge. I am not sure if I see an EV as a car I would keep.

    Does 52% residual sound about right?

    I am at the end of my lease for a Turbo and my residual is $79K and the trade in is about $72K. I will probably turn it in

    Panamera GTS v. Taycan GTS

    Great thoughts! I currently own a 23 Panamera GTS and a 20 Taycan Turbo. I will say that the EV acceleration is without rival. The fit and feel of the Taycan versus the Panamera is like the Macon to the Cayenne. The technology of the Taycan is not better than the Panamera and I will say that...

    12v battery charging from 800v system

    I have a 2020 turbo and I parked the car in the garage with the doors unlocked. I had this recurring problem of losing my LTE connection due to the car reverting to a transport mode. I always lock the car. The car should shut down to protect the 12V battery but I do not know if that is the case.

    Used Taycans

    I have a 20 Turbo and I am at the end of my lease. The car has been good in terms of hardware, but I have experienced a recurring loss LTE connection that requires a reset from the "transport mode." I am a bit conflicted over buying at the end of lease for $72K versus getting another EV like a...

    Goodbye folks... 4s and 3 year summary review...

    Very good points. I have a 2020 Taycan Turbo that has been okay in terms of hardware. I have experienced the loss of LTE connection about three times with no real explanation. The car experienced a hard reboot while driving today. I think it is hard to feel good about keeping the car for the...

    MY2020 - LTE Failure - update

    Update--My SA called me to let me know that the LTE module had switched to a "flight mode" or a transport mode. They had to change the mode and it is back up. . . . I had also taken my mobile charger in with the car to see if there was a solution to the car timing out at connection established...

    Electrical System Failure

    I am sorry to read of your experience. I would think your dealership should provide a loaner. Did you lease the car?

    Best Taycan entry point? Need your advice.

    I have a 2020 Turbo and I have been satisfied with the performance. I drove the 4S but liked the color and options of the Turbo. I am not sure if the 2021s are better than the 2020s in terms of battery failures. I have a problem with no LTE connection with the car awaiting a fix.

    MY2020 - LTE Failure - update

    Thank you. I lost my LTE for the second time on May 5th. I can make an SOS call and I have an appointment in about a week. I will ask about this automatic coding of the Connect CU!

    MY23 Taycan Turbo-S Arrived at Dealership; 4th Taycan... Lease vs. Buy?

    I would lease and put that 40K of equity in the market. You can play with the equity at the end of the lease and roll that into the next lease.

    MY2020 - LTE Failure - update

    I did not get any real help from Porsche Support and I had to take it in for the 12V battery disconnect and shut down. My LTE went out on May 5th.

    MY2020 - LTE Failure - update

    Man, I am sorry. This is so frustrating to see after having the module replaced.

    Help convince me to switch from a 911S Cabriolet to a Taycan 4S

    I would definitely agree with the responses. I have a 2020 Taycan Turbo and a 2014 911 S. The Taycan is a nice car but it is not a substitute for the 911. I also have a Cayenne Turbo and I use this vehicle for the family. The Taycan is new and Porsche has a long way to go in making the EV a...

    Software Update Cancelled

    I have a 2020 Taycan and I did the ANA6 update. The update installed okay, but the SOS connect module had to be replaced as it would not wake up after the update. The car is in the shop now trying to solve a no LTE connection. The problem seems to be a software problem, but there is no fix...
