Waiting for that first oil change, :cool: (please note the sarcasm) I do agree with a couple hundred miles for the transmission and gears to seat but in 1200 miles I've done about 10 launches, with and without launch control just to learn the dynamics. the 4S is pretty incredible for being one...

I considered importing them, at least the fronts, since that’s what’s backordered in the states. At first glance it doesn’t look like they have an online way to get them shipped to the states so a phone call may be in order. Update: turns out the can't ship to the US due to fairly strict...

Porsche gets no cut, it actually costs the supplier money to design, build and test a variant to meet Porsche’s design requirements. The payback is a locked in OEM channel with Porsche. And since these are usually the most expensive tire models, it’s a good, high margin revenue stream for the...

I talked with the dealer, PCNA has put them on restricted sale meaning without asking for a big favor a dealer can only order one as a replacement for a customer car and they do a VIN match. It will stay that way until Goodyear sorts its supply chain in NA. It’s interesting these only show up...

Does anyone know a dealer or distributor in the US that has the 265/35-21 Asymmetric 5 NF0 in stock? TireRack has the rears but says it could be months before the fronts are available. I’m doing a set of BC Forged 21’s and would rather not use Pirelli’s and am quite disappointed Michelin...

I really don’t understand why this concept is so difficult for folks to comprehend, Porsche does not have one pedal driving. Accelerator pedal lift deceleration occurs at a rate mimicking an ICE vehicle engine braking, probably in a manual or PDK that’s directly coupled, not a torque converter...

There are two parts to the stop sale campaign in the US. Step one is to pull a VAT report and upload it to Porsche. Within 3 days the car will either be released for sale, as mine was, or they are instructed to wait 7 days and do the VAT process again, wait 3 days for either a release or wait...

When the Atlantic City Expressway was built they claimed it was designed to run at 120 mph without any steering input. All the turns are banked and it’s not crowned (much). Supposedly the original intent was for an elevated speed limit but the oil crisis hit along with the nanny state so that...

Exactly, I did the math 2 weeks ago and no matter what scenario I used the lease was $10K - $20K more expensive over the expected ownership, including the $7500 rebate. I took advantage of a strong loan rate from BofA and didn't look back.

Not cheap but not stupid expensive either, https://www.signaturewheel.com/

In the US the chargers opened up have a “Magic dock” installed to convert to CCS1, what we use in the US and Canada. In Europe and the UK Tesla had to use the standard CCS2 connector every other EV uses so no adapter required.

Perhaps, but in 45 years of driving Porsches I’ve only ever ordered 2, the first one was delayed at the port for 5 weeks, Porsche refused, to this day, to tell me or the dealer what they held it for. And now the Taycan, though this has only been a week. Having been in the community for so long...

Well, I get to take delivery twice. Once last Tuesday and again this Tuesday (tomorrow). They pulled the log this morning, sent it off to the motherland and Porsche cleared the car for sale this afternoon. :rock: Here’s hoping everyone else has it so easy:beer:

No, it’s not nonsense since COVID and it’s not only Porsche. 6 months ago Ram put a stop sale on diesel engined HD pickups after delivering thousands to dealers who had to tell people they weren’t getting their truck and had no idea when they would. Hundreds of people got the same message in...

He also forgot to mention you have the pleasure of spending over 11% interest, and that’s with an 800+ credit score.

People keep speculating on things that others take as facts and run with them. It’s not a software update that’s delaying delivery, it’s an extended QA hold so Porsche can analyze the data on your cars systems before they release it. They do this all the time as updates are introduced to the...

You cannot make that assumption. Some campaigns can only be performed at the dealership after the final PDI.

No one but Porsche knows the scope but it’s not limited to the UK and it’s not model specific.

Well I got my car but now they want it back so not so sure anyone’s getting their cars for a while.

Not sure if it qualifies as stop sale but I picked mine up Tuesday and on Wednesday Porsche released a service campaign so the dealer was unable to RDR the car. RDR is the process of transferring ownership in Porsche’s system. I’m bringing the car back Saturday so they can perform the...
