    Leather Steering wheel cracks

    Heads up: race tex/alcantra steering wheels aren't awesome after a while of daily use. Some can clean up with HI-TECH extra foamy but with heavy use they look crappy. Of course one can just use driving gloves every time they drive. ;)

    Transmission noise at 50mph / 80kph?

    Correct. Noise came back for me after ~800 miles after replacement drive unit.

    Extended Warranty - worth it?

    If if your drive unit is faulty like mine was on my 21 RWD you'll be glad you have extended warranty. It's ~$40K to replace. Replaced and first gear noise came back after a short while. I sold the car a couple months ago due to concern of repair costs outside of warranty.

    Taycan owners - how happy with purchase?

    Sold my 21 RWD a couple months ago. 2 years in and with no drive unit issue resolution from PCNA it had to go. My concern was excessive $ in repairs post warranty.

    I'm done....cant do it anymore

    I had no software issues - it's the drive unit/transmission. It's not limited to early models, I know of 21 and 22 owners complaining of the same problem that plagued(s) mine - 1st gear whine.

    I'm done....cant do it anymore

    Similar feelings for me and sold mine a couple months ago. After my troubles PCNA would not do anything for me and my concern was big $ failures post warranty.

    Anyone else got "fungus green PTS" door rubbers for free like I did?

    Who do you let in your back seat? Those sills and seat backs are really messed up.

    Corroding Wheel Centre Caps

    Colored caps on mine and 1 started to peel at a few months old. Replaced under warranty.

    Now that the new car smell is gone - what fragrance / system you choose?

    None. My 2021 still smells new. The key to keeping new car/natural smell is: NO food, no drinks, no pets, no dirty/smelly clothing, no foreign heavy odor matter inside the cabin. Whenever I would have fresh food or take-out it always goes in one of the trunks - preferably the front.

    Transmission noise at 50mph / 80kph?

    Live with it. I already had my drive unit replaced and the noise came back after a short time.

    Transmission noise at 50mph / 80kph?

    It's more pronounced in sport since first gear is held longer and first gear is the problem. Mine was very noisy 50-60mph - especially when deceleration with regen/recoup on.

    New tires at 4657 miles?

    Heavy car, electric motor torque, Porsche 'performance' OE alignment spec all attribute to tires not lasting as long as other ICE vehicles.

    Anyone going back to a Tesla?

    If you're just looking for range for road trips Lucid Air or MB EQS will fit the bill.

    Steering wheel cleaning

    HI-TECH extra foamy. Incredible stuff been using it over 25 years.

    What makes the difference between Range Mode limiting to 60mph or 90mph?

    I have my range mode set to 80mph and it always reads 80 when turning drive mode knob and engaging it. If I want to go faster, it's always overridden by holding the accel pedal for a few seconds.

    2023 Taycan GTS: First 200km, wash & review

    I do love soft close doors but they are not offered due to additional weight according to my Porsche dealer. My other P-cars have them.

    Watch collectors - let's talk watches here!

    SPX DeLorean. Case made from JZD's personal car T-panel which was made the same month/year as my DeLorean. His VIN is on the back which happens to be 532 units from mine. Ordered the week of release and received in May this year. I was able to request the serial # I wanted. Pictured next to my...

    1st car I'd consider trading the Taycan for…

    1.5 mil starting is what I heard.

    How well does Taycan handle hot climates?

    Ditto. +2 on window tint - especially the windshield. Autobahn i3 ceramic film all around all my vehicles and it helps a TON in S. Florida sun.
