    Delivery delays

    Good luck. I got the same message from them that they wouldn’t schedule until they had firm dates due to the shortage. The day the car arrived at port, they emailed me to let me know I could finally schedule my PEC ( LA) delivery as early as … 2.5 months in the future!!! I doubt that’s an...

    Automatic locking feature?

    what buttons are you pushing prior to exiting the car? park button? holding/short pressing power button? Neither, both? Something else? Would be great to know if this is a feature!

    Anyone have a recommended shop? I’m located in Berkeley and looking to get my CT4S coated in PPF and ceramic coating. Thanks

    How did you pay for your Taycan?

    Preserving debt to income ratios if you’re looking to take a home or personal loan out for other reasons. You may prefer to have your borrowing done against something other than a car in this case.

    My 3D printed Taycan phone holder

    Would you mind posting the files to https://www.thingiverse.com/ or somewhere similar? I’d like to print one but I can’t imagine you’d like to be bothered by each person who is interested in a copy!

    PEC LA delivery pushed out two months

    Man, whoever you’re working with is better informed than the person at porsche Marin that I’m working with.

    PEC LA delivery pushed out two months

    PEC notified me about the date and I pushed hard to pull it in to no avail. I’m assuming they’ll be refunding the $500. The dealer has actually not been involved in this discussion at all. I’ve been told independently by the dealer that the repair parts (TPMS) are arriving this week or next week...

    PEC LA delivery pushed out two months

    I just got word that my mid October planned PEC Los Angeles delivery is not going to happen until December of this year. I found out this morning when the car (a 4S cross turismo) arrived at port. They’ll be rerouting the car to the dealer for delivery at my request. Word to the wise: If you’ve...

    Extra lights, anyone? Considering Baja S2 Pro LED

    Unfortunately those locations have active vents that open and close so I think you’re out of luck. The middle of the grille might work out though, especially if you don’t have night vision or the radar sensor for ACC

    Two Speed EV transmission a good idea?

    I’d be surprised if it’s stressed enough to have a practical cycle life limitation, even at high speed. The winding count should be easily tuned to make sure that you’re in a safe place for cycle life.

    Two Speed EV transmission a good idea?

    The Tesla appears traction limited to 60mph, for what it’s worth. (Power graph) The taycan looks traction limited to half that speed (torque graph) PM motors are generally most efficient close to their torque knee, where the motor transitions from constant torque to constant power, and the...

    Two Speed EV transmission a good idea?

    They developed their own filament winder that winds under tension, which will also help with motor efficiency as well as power curve due to the smaller air gap between stator and rotor. Honestly a way better solution from an engineering perspective than a transmission, I personally don’t think...

    Two Speed EV transmission a good idea?

    I’m not sure everyone here understands power. If you have a flat power curve, the transmission is irrelevant and serves no purpose, as its only purpose is to keep you in your peak power range, assuming you’re past the traction limit in your peak torque range. Power IS what accelerates you at...

    Let’s count how many CTs have made it into the road so far

    Interesting! My PEC LA delivery is coming through a west coast port as I’m told. You sure yours landed in Houston?

    One step closer to my Cross Turismo 4S! Production completed

    Ha, mine’s the other way around. My porsche is still on step 1 but TYD shows it’s about to cross the Panama Canal!

    Clunking sound when pressing PARK button

    Or the parking pawl that locks the rear wheels from moving when going into park. It’s a little tab that locks into a gear connected to the transmission drivetrain.

    Taycan Waiting Room: Who has ordered and a delivery date?

    Just got confirmation that mine will arrive without: - Second key fob/remote - TPM control unit - Telephone console (charger and signal booster?) - Control unit for acoustic simulator (external?) Only the TPM control unit is required to be installed before delivery. Interesting that it looks...

    Anyone had their bike rack delivered yet?

    I ordered and received an allocation at launch, still waiting delivery! Also waiting delivery of the bike rack. Porsche say another 7 weeks to go for the car, nothing for the rack. My dealer says they don’t even have a way to order the rack.
