It looks very similar to mine. I am opting for interior leather as I enjoy ventilated and massage seats. I’ve waffled several times on the colors of both exterior and interior as I am able to see some colors in real life.
I gained 10% charge overnight with a standard wall outlet and will start to plug in when I get home from errands as well. That will really extend the interval between visits to a DC charger. I can’t wait to have my level 2 installed as that will totally eliminate those visits.
Tonight I am...
The e-trim is in the garage as we speak. It’s charging on 110 as I’ve not had an electrician able to come out and install a level 2 outlet yet.
I have noticed a few glitches in the infotainment system when using car play etc, but not too much to worry about. The car is super comfortable and...
I just picked up a 22’ sportback this afternoon. I plan to live with it as my daily driver until my STGTS arrives. Initially supposed to arrive in late September of this year, but I’m thinking a 23’ delivery is likely after all of the distribution and supply issues. It is definitely not a...
I understand that they are offering to make some sort of remuneration? I’m not in a position to have seen any of the purchase contracts or know what the verbiage that is included regarding the retrofit. If anyone wants to pursue legal action for breech of contract, it is absolutely their right...
I think everyone needs a reality check. This is not Porsche specific as all manufacturers are having issues. I was wanting to purchase a Cadillac Escalade (GMC the same)and was told that regardless of the options that I built the car with, it would arrive with what was available. That was also a...
Wondering if a few of you would post photos of some leather interior options that you’ve ordered. Yes, I’ve clicked on the information icon in the build simulator, but haven’t really seen what will be covered in leather for each.
If I choose red leather, it could turn bloody or chalk sterile...
Saw a Gentian blue taycan sedan driving between Columbia and KC MO today. Anyone here? That was the only Porsche EV I saw on either leg of my trip to or from KC this weekend. The only other non Tesla EV I saw on the highway was a Ford Mach-E. Tesla is really leading in EVs that travel in my...
The tax credit is motivating me for sure and I also feel it would balance out the depreciation. My GTS will likely get pushed to 23’, which means I’d be able to grab that credit a second time.
I appreciate the feedback. Most likely not a good idea to make a change from ICE to placeholder EV for just a year. Financially, it’s a no win, but it would be fun.
I’ve been kicking around purchasing a 22” E-tron to use while I wait for my ST GTS. I am thinking I’ve got a year wait and the e-tron would be a nice introduction to EVs. Also considered a Polestar 2, but they don’t have a service area within 150 miles and I don’t want to risk it.
The local...
I don’t have my ST yet (or any darn time soon I’m afraid!), but could you remove the front wheel and slide a couple of bikes in the back? Never fitted a hitch to my Lexus RX and take the bikes that way. A hitch rack is of course ideal imho.
For those who are concerned about lighting, there are some products out there for motorcyclists that use a decelerometer. I’m sure you could work something up to power the lights. https://www.skenelights.com/. These are amazingly bright and would satisfy those wanting additional tail lights.
It looks like it is listed at MSRP. I configured one on the Porsche site with the information in the ad and it matched up pretty well. The car is in Carmine red, which is my second choice. It wouldn’t bother me to be buying a 21’ in 22’. I’m sure there isn’t a correct answer, but it’s tempting...
Yes, Isringhaussn. I almost drove up to Detroit for a Polestar 2 a couple of weeks ago but held off. This is a third car and more for fun, so I don’t NEED to make a change.
Probably the smart play to stand pat, but there is always an itch.
So I’ve got a deposit on the only allocation my local dealer will have for a ST GTS and was told in early February that they’d get their allocation likely in July. They anticipated delivery in September at that point. We all have seen what happened since then…Ship fire, loss of barge, war etc. I...
I put a deposit down a bit over a week ago and my dealer does have an allocation assigned to them for the ST. They told me that they expect the allocation in July time frame with a build and delivery in September. Does that mean I’ll likely end up with a MY23?
I almost snapped a picture of the exterior color with the black and meranti color sample while outdoors at the dealer. Meranti has a little more depth than simple beige and I think it’s more upscale looking. The limestone looked like it came from my old Acura or Volvo. Your mileage may vary...
