You're right. I shouldn't say "Never"
I forgot the original federal EV credit offered between 2010 and 2022 included Porsche Taycan.
For EV purchased in 2023 or later, manufacturers must qualify under a different process put in place by the inflation reduction act of 2022.
Tough decision, Porsche knows how important the battery technology is to them, but they probably figured out they are generations behind battery tech from China, and the margin is expanding faster than they can catch up; plus the entire supply chain and domestic demand. They are fighting a...
I had this issue on and off for about 6 months before the recall, since I drive 90% alone, I wasn't in the hurry to get to repaired until the airbag disabled message became permanent. I don't think the passenger seat become unsafe, it's just "not safe enough" during accident because airbag...
Unless you take the GTS to the tracks, '25 4s is a better car. It's an understatement that '25 Taycan improves on battery and rear motor for range and performance.
I care about the car is brand new and every little detail when I purchase and planning to keep it for a long time.
If I lease a car for 1-3 years. I don't care as much, as long as the car is new enough and cost is right.
Porsche Taycan never qualified for $7500 tax credit. I believe most owners don't qualify anyway due to the limit base on personal income. The discount is offered by PFS, PFS can offers any discount base on market demand and call it whatever they like.
Honestly I'm loving my 2025 Taycan, everything is slightly better in every way than ex-2022. CarPlay more reliable and connect faster, prefer the updated interface on instrument cluster, even Plug & Charge at EA charger is faster, too. All these can be done to J1.1, but Porsche decides not to...
Most people including myself before owning a Porsche still think Porsche is a high premium and quality car.
US news outlets don't cover Porsche, I've never heard about battery recall, possible fire risk, potential issue with front brakes, seat sensor disable airbag...etc. Any of these issues...
I'm not a Tesla fan.... anymore...
I got to say Tesla got it right the first time when they introduced Model S back in 2012.
We thought EV are as good as golf carts, Tesla changed that.
They use the skateboard battery design

EA occupy a corner lot on Santa Monica Blvd to dedicate to EA charging station
Why not share public parking spaces in nearby plazas or malls.
The cost of owning or leasing that lot will keep the cost of charging high.
Returned my 2022 Taycan and picked up a new 2025 last week.
I looked into Lucid, Rivian, MB, BMW, Audi, and Tesla. There is nothing look as good as Taycan.
Except 911, I will never consider an ICE vehicle. I rather drive an cheaper EV than a premium ICE vehicle.
The original lease term will not have any impact on the market conditions. Either the dealer keep it and sell it at market rate, or PFS will send the car to the auction.
Sorry to report to everyone that think J1.2 will retain depreciation better than J1.1.
There are tons of brand new 2025 Taycan sitting in dealers for a long time. Dealers are giving huge discounts on those vehicles. This is the best time to shop for 2025 before PFS end the $7500 discount on...
I just picked up a new 2025 yesterday. The image for backup is so much better than 2022, it looks normal and not distorted. I heard there is no hardware difference between J1 and J1.2, so hopefully Porsche will push newer firmware to J1 in the future.
I had the same passenger seat sensor faulty issue and waited a week to get the parts replaced in April.
Coincidentally, Porsche announced the recall on the same day that I pickup the car, so the recall status still show unrepaired.
You forgot to mention about the backup camera, the world of difference.
The first few weeks of owning the Taycan, I thought I was inches away from hitting the car when I backup, but when I look at the mirror, it's like 30 feet away. 😅
I absolutely pick Taycan over Model S right now
1. Taycan is...
Model S is not a bad drivers car. I fall in love with MS back in 2014 because it drives like a Panamera, way better than any Mercedes and BMW sedens in my price range. Since Porsche didn't offer EV back in 2014, I bought my first Tesla.
Taycan J1.1 Turbo S had a 7:33:25 time at Nurburgring in...
