Porsche’s revenue model. Here’s the surprise notice my sister received today for her Macan: Navigation & Infotainment Package Services: Finder, Porsche Voice Pilot, Radio Plus, News, Weather, Navigation Plus Minimum term: 1 Year $205.00 (excl. taxes) Will be automatically renewed

I got a lucky break. It took 12 days from diagnosis, to driving off with a new HV battery, last fall in U.S.

This all smells of the dodgy ethics of the VW Group, filtered into Porsche. “Chargergate” similar to Deiselgate. They certainly have screwed over 40,000 loyal Porsche Taycan owners with their cover your ass approach. In the US it’s probably only going to be a nationwide class action lawsuit...

Ditto with my 2020 4S on my driveway. Grease applied a year ago solved my mild climate squawks.

Agree, I’ve used the Tesla mobile with adapter for years. Terrific and the case fits perfect in the frunk.

I was in the same boat on my 2020 4S. Absolutely love the car and decided to get a Porsche Platinum warranty to align with the HV battery warranty to 2028. A whole lot cheaper than buying new. Gives me the flexibility to get a new ride in a few years with the imbedded NACS plug, better...

In the U.S. the emergency release is in a corner of the inside of the trunk lid. A hard to see recessed green button, towards the front of the car, on the U.S. passenger's side (UK driver's side?) Good luck!

Maybe drop the back seats and reach in to hit the emergency release button? "Trunk Entrapment: Your vehicle is equipped with an internal trunk release mechanism. A person trapped in the luggage compartment can release the lid from the inside using the unlocking button. The unlocking button is...

In the U.S. I purchased a Porsche Platinum warranty after 3 years of ownership for my 2020 4S Performance. The plan I chose comes with a $250 deductible, 96 total months, and 100,000 total mile coverage (including the original 4-year factory.) Spendy at $6k, but cheap compared to Porsche parts...

in the U.S. you can purchase a Porsche warranty plan any time prior to the original warranty expiration. You can't if the factory warranty has expired.

Let's hope Tesla does charge for slow charging. With only 50% of Electrify America chargers usually working, there is nothing more frustrating than to see a Chevy Bolt linked to a 350 KW charger, when 150 KW's are available.

Note: "for future products in the North American region, beginning in 2025." Question is if the dorky refresh of the Taycan is a "future product." My guess is it will be Gen 2 in 2027 or 2028 until the Taycan hardware goes NACS. I'll wait for the NACS plug and cross my fingers for a new hipper...

FYI: In September '22 replacement at my Porsche dealer: windshield $1290, installation $350, calibration $562, alignment $340, "shop misc." $60. Total: $2,602 plus tax.

After no luck with my local dealer, a forum member recommended Porsche Chandler in Arizona and that's where I purchased a Porsche Platinum with a $250 deductible. A few months ago it was $6k for 8 years, 96,000 miles covering stuff other than HV battery and HV cables. This aligns with my 2020’s...

Put on "the list" in 2018, I ordered it in 2019, and after a pandemic delay in the paint shop it was delivered in August of 2020. A 2020 4S with performance battery. The 2020's in the US came with 8 years and 100k on the HV battery. For the Porsche warranty, you need to purchase it before the...

It's an excellent tour and you'll be amazed at how few people it takes to assemble a Taycan. Make sure you also do the Mercedes Museum in addition to the Porsche Museum. If you haven't yet booked, a great hotel in Stuttgart is the EmiLu Design Hotel in the city center. Fabulous pizza at Pane E...

You should add to the poll an option for an owned car and purchasing an extended warranty. At 40k miles on my owned 2020 4S+ I've purchased a Porsche extended warranty to 8 years to align with the HV battery warranty. I'll keep the "classic" and upgrade at the 7-year date when better battery...

My 20k in the Puget Sound area was about $750.

Porsche has loaded the dealerships with zillions of base 2-wheel drive Taycans, now sitting on their lots in big numbers. Clearly a serious market miscalculation, perhaps driven by the need to hit a corporate average fuel economy. I'm guessing you could get a pretty good discount on those. At...
