Charge doors are the same size. The parts are about $2K and install seems simple enough - the door is removed and you go through the back of the quarters rather than removing the quarter and fender liner, which would have been my guess.
The struggle is that Porsche doesn't have a retrofit SKU...
It would have been fairer to say in the short term EVs will be more expensive and it could take years to recoup costs, but that's already been done. Move the carbon footprint discussion to the side for the moment as the average person isn't really thinking about that above costs.
It's an...
they cant keep it. The buyer has the right to cancel at any time prior to signing ownership documents.

Supply chain challenges affecting the entire globe and Im doubtful that a strongly worded email to the CEO is gonna move the needle for you. The dealerships are laying people off at this point because they have nothing to deliver. Still, they are trying to compensate with delivering partially...
I don't think they charge enough for people that leave their car tethered to the 350kW charger and disappear for hours...there are only 2 close to me and it seems like they end up being parking spots for fully charged cars, rather than charging.
Slight side note, but I think Porsche should...
So, 800 bucks all in for 3 years and then 60/year for the subscription in year 4? Reviver does not list their monthly fee anywhere on their website, or its so embarrassing to them that they reserve it for the fine print.
Couple of questions - how does it work with ordering vanity plates - if...
Maybe Roadsters as that was really their customer lead beta program. That was my point though - Ive had both a P85D and P100D and I can tell you that I had both vehicles twice to 0% and they continued on for several miles to a safe charge location. There are also a couple of documented cases of...
See the table above (earlier in the thread) highlighting all of the software restricted capacity. It's not limited to the 60/70 models. Although, as you noted, that was a commercial offering that could be upgraded for a fee.
I believe that during that period they also temporarily unlocked the...
Ive had a P85D and a P100D so I am quite familiar. The Taycan is SUCH a better car...
The point is that Tesla had a buffer in all batteries which became abundantly clear when they tapped into all reserve to help owners move to shelter. Prior to that it required a hacker to know for sure.
My...
How would you think a warranty would void in electrical with a swap of some speakers? Never ever heard of that before - Magnusson Moss Warranty Act protects us all (in the US) from over reaching like that. Also, Porsche would have zero experience improving the sound quality and would have no...
I don't disagree about fast charging - I made the point earlier above yours.
I saw that you had also noted 100% charging as a culprit too, but 100% like Porsche, doesn't represent 100% of the capacity - so I wonder if that had a play in the earlier degradation at all.
This has been said a couple of times on the forum - there was a well known article published on electrik.com as far back as 2016 saying the exact opposite with proof.
A hacker was able to get into the Tesla battery management systems and confirm that they too were holding back capacity - in...
Consider Elite Auto Concepts in Concord - Ive had several cars wrapped and unfortunately I didnt find them till the most recent - by far the best I have seen.
Elite Auto Concepts
Also not all product is the same - Xpel used to be great but since 3m purchased them, its quality isnt the best. Id...
I keep seeing this but Porsche already holds back a portion of the battery. So do you mean 80% on the gauge, or do you mean 80% of capacity (which would be more consistent with best practices)?
Also, I haven't seen a lot of specifics about heat related to fast charging, but can also play a part...
It is - I already did that myself. Saved about 15K for the same car out of state as compared to the California market.
Taycan is pretty much the only car I could see taking what would be a somewhat normal hit on depreciation, while every other car, ICE or otherwise is way above normal.
I...
It depends where you are in the country. There are 5 Turbo S options to choose from in NorCal and 189K is the cheapest option (there are 2). Everything else sits over 200K and well over the national average.
We also pay almost $6 for a gallon of gas, so theres that.
