    Does 21 days on the production line sound too long?

    My RWD was 5 days back in May of 2021. It has a lot of options, but in those days the only shortage was TPMS sensors. That shortage caused a 14 day delay at the port of entry.

    Starting to think should have bought a used 992

    We think alike, with one small change. I prefer the 991.1 GT3 as I still have over 2-1/2 years on my factory engine warranty. The 2018 991.2 and most likely the 2019 is now out of warranty.

    Nitrogen in Taycan Tyres

    Just another dealer add on scam. I refuse to pay for it. They tried to charge me $199 on my MY21. I also told them to keep their POS green N tire valve caps.

    Long term Taycan owners: Are you still enjoying the car every day? Does it still feel special?

    I took delivery of my highly optioned base MY21 in May 2021. Other than one minor issue after 6 months of ownership, the car has been bullet proof. Since 2014, I have had several 911's and still have a 991.1 GT3. I changed the 911's like my ex-wives, the Taycan is a keeper. To answer your...

    What is this?

    Looks like something one of my three ex-wives would have installed.

    Out of Spec Youtuber takes delivery of Taycan: Deciding To Buy A Used Taycan Over A New Model 3

    Don't think the former partner was a wife, but I was thinking the same thing. One thing for sure, there is a pattern's to Kyle's friends.

    My PCM updated yesterday

    Yup, it is just wonderful. After the big update, the media selection (Sirius in my case) took a couple of seconds to load. After this new update, I am back to the old days (30 to 60 seconds). I might add this all getting old for me, however I am trying to take the KC approach and relax.

    Bonehead move - poured washer fluid in brake fluid receptacle

    We all make these kind of mistakes, its not if, its when. I remember doing a standard flush on my GT3 and really screwed up due to distraction. I was using a Motive bleeder (air only) and ran the reservoir dry. That was an expensive mistake. We all make them. My comments were aimed at only...

    Bonehead move - poured washer fluid in brake fluid receptacle

    Let's look at this problem analytically: First, we measure brake fluid effectiveness by its "wet boiling point". Second, the threshold to reach this point is about 3%. Any moisture absorbed at or above this percentage could cause the brake fluid to boil under high heat. Because brake fluid is...

    Bonehead move - poured washer fluid in brake fluid receptacle

    Just grab the lip and pull, however with your luck I would wear safety goggles - no telling the damage you might do to your self.

    Bonehead move - poured washer fluid in brake fluid receptacle

    I use needle fine nose pliers to grab and remove it.

    Bonehead move - poured washer fluid in brake fluid receptacle

    Brake fluid is hydroscopic. It is not likely that you will notice any degradation unless your fluid gets to the 100C. It will then boil the water, create a gas and brakes can be unreliable or fail. Unless you are a fatalist, have the system flushed before any spirited driving.

    Got Hit In the Parking Lot

    Not accurate. There are certain parts, that are related to the chassis and body, that PCNA will only sell to shops that have the their approved equipment. I never was told which parts and frankly hope I will never find out.

    Got Hit In the Parking Lot

    Perhaps you read my post quickly. I was not recommending any independent repair shop. I was recommending a Porsche Certified Collision Center. In my experience, they have equal clout with insurers, since they are OEM certified. The PCCC is mandated to factory training, must have certain...

    Got Hit In the Parking Lot

    The PCCC use OEM parts. The real advantage IMO is that you can work with an independent shop. Among other things, it means you may avoid a Carfax on relatively small damage. "Stealer" repairs it and your car will have damage history.

    The last place to go is a "stealer". Go to an independent Certified Porsche Collision Center.

    RANT + How Much is Too Much?

    Before you leap you may want to consider that Porsche has announced that there will be significant mid year price increases. You may very well end up paying the same for less. I have no clue how allocations convert to rationed builds and delivery, but it seems like there is no logic that I can...

    Taycan Malaise

    I understand your frustration. The underlying support for the Taycan product is not very good from the dealer network or the OEM. I too experienced a 30 day service visit for a very minor problem that could not be resolved by the dealer or the OEM. There are no words of advice here, just that...
