my next car is probably a McLaren instead of a Porsche because the dealers suck that much to interact with. I’ve offered ADM and only half of them even bothered to fucking call me back. Fuck me ? No, fuck you. Can‘t go out of business soon enough

Daily.

there are plenty of reports and descriptions of what people experienced when their cars failed for the recall issue. The steering and brakes continue to work.

their boss would be the dealership's general manager. I can't think of anyone else you'd want to talk to beyond the service & sales managers, and perhaps the GM. think about what you want, both to say, and as an outcome. If you don't go into the meeting with an agenda, you won't get as much...

the dealer franchises are definitely a weak part of Porsche’s brand. Can’t say Tesla has a bad idea selling direct. Some of the Porsche sales associates are great (well, for car salesmen) and some are pretty awful. It’s hit or miss. If you can find someone local to make a recommendation or...

have you test driven one ? If you can get the dealer to give you like an hour in it, it may significantly help clarify your search. overall they handle exceptionally well. They are heavy, and you can feel the weight if you push really hard. Like probably unsafe for streets hard. If you dial...

I will say as uninterested I am in owning one, the model 3 and its performance / $ is what persuaded me ICE is completely doomed, environment or not, on a strictly economical scale. Look what just happened to Bugatti. That's foreshadowing boys. Porsche, McLaren, Ferrari are all pushing out...

thinking about mixing it up and getting back into a Tesla Dave ? Not cross shopping a model S with your taycan ? I haven't had a chance to get into a Plaid, but the older S's, and the model 3 (my wife has one and I drive it from time to time) make me unhappy as a driving experience. The...

I can't imagine what it's like to start with 600hp and 0-60 in 3 seconds. I started on a 100hp manual with a 0-60 of about 11 seconds. It probably saved my teenage life. Even after 20 years experience, the first time I owned a real supercar, I still managed to get the nannies to bitch slap me...

yeah, this is why I dashcam everything now.

so laws are different everywhere, but it sounds like maybe you could use some professional advice on next steps. Cops can be pretty apathetic when it comes to minor property issues and disputes. A lawyer could help you navigate your alternatives to apply a little pressure to make this stop...

call me maybe

at least it's not hydrogen ? TL;DR "destroyed a complex half the size of a soccer field" https://www.reuters.com/article/us-autos-hydrogen-southkorea-insight/hydrogen-hurdles-a-deadly-blast-hampers-south-koreas-big-fuel-cell-car-bet-idUSKBN1W936A

Alas just a concept. But hopefully we’ll see a Mission E style announcement by 2024

It might make more sense if you think of it this way: Porsche has gotten a huge amount of extremely flattering press for its EV business leading into the inevitable Macan launch. That the taycan is profitable is just a perk. Porsche is the first company to even plausibly compete against Tesla...

yes, in broad strokes. The J1 isn’t specifically about competing against the model S so much as Porsche proving it can build an EV worthy of its heritage, and cannibalizing the Panamera made a lot more sense, and still does, given the technical constraints like pack size, weight and volume.

Dave‘s right. There’s no improvement in stopping distance with CC until enough repeated applications to induce fade. Any of the Porsche brakes are capable of exceeding the tire’s grip, easily. And the Porsche steel brakes are pretty overkill for public street driving, even at autobahn...

so … nope. The J1 was in development before 2015. PPE was started in 2018. Allegedly PPE was influenced by the Model 3. There’s no way the PPE could have been retrofitted to a taycan and shipped in 2019.

“Obviously there will be some compromises“ …. so you’ve basically answered you own question. Porsche wasn’t going to compromise on anything that didn’t HAVE to for their marquee EV announcement. My guess is you profoundly misunderstand the Taycan’s role in Porsche’s EV business strategy. There’s...

You might try digging up lease residual values.
