At what point and how many of these heaters have to fail in Taycans until Porsche issues an actual recall? Actually, I think I already know the answer to that. Porsche first has to test and source an improved replacement part, then amass and distribute a healthy inventory of them before...
GTS. No brainer choice. I struggled with this dilemma as well, only to realize later how it’s really an easy choice to make especially if you’ve already selected things like sport design, sport chrono, black trim, etc, on the 4S, but standard on GTS.
I was also concerned by ride comfort...
Agreed. That’s the thing I love on the eTron GT that I wished the Taycan had - the physical HVAC buttons and all the rest of the center console below the main infotainment screen. And also that the Audi has a center armrest lid cover that isn’t completely half-assed. Otherwise, the Taycan...
Not really. Most buyers simply don’t look at it that way, or even care. Turbo and Turbo S come with a lot more stuff as standard equipment, in addition to unlocking the higher level of performance from the electric motors from the factory and be under warranty. GTS is more of the value...
From my understanding:
Taycan, CT, and 4S all have the same rear motor and CT and 4S have same front motor (no front motor on rwd Taycan)
GTS, Turbo, Turbo S all have the same larger rear motor, and power output is limited by software based on model.
It’s very cold here in Chicago. Below zero and wind chill is negative double digits for the last few days now. It’s so cold that even inside our garage it’s below freezing. I noticed on myPorshce app that the heater occasionally goes on in my Taycan even though I have not set it to pre-heat...
Installed a FitCamX just now. Thanks to the wisdom shared on this thread, install was much less difficult than it could’ve been. The hardest parts really were pulling the plug harness plug out and figuring out how to route the cabling so it all fits. If you have average to fat sized fingers...
Seriously though, did they not even bother to do extreme cold weather testing on these BTC units before contracting them to be EA's OEM moving forward? Probably not. Like you suggested, there are likely serious issues with the organization in general when they bet their future and reputation...
The interior sport sound is off by default, but I believe the exterior sound is on all the time for pedestrian safety, so no way to turn it off unless you do a hack job on the exterior speaker.
If the allocation/timeline change is reasonable enough for you, absolutely go for the GTS!
This is pretty much what I did 9 months ago - ordered a 4S then switched to a GTS after realizing a lot of the options I've spec'd on the 4S were standard equipment on the GTS (like sport design, sports...
I don’t have the Porsche branded one but have something identical purchased cheap from amazon. The top strap is definitely very visible, but it can tuck behind the telescoping headrest (assuming you have that type of seat). I still didn’t like how they looked so I took them off. I just tell...
So about this failing heater issue that's seemingly widespread... is this just the HVAC cabin heating that fails or is the heat pump for the optimization of HV battery temps for charging that also fails, or are they one the same heating system? Or are they 2 separate heating system issues that...
Wow, mind sharing which dealership this was? (DM if you'd rather not share publicly on forum thread). I'm surprised because the failed heater is a warranty issue and you'd think a Porsche dealership would treat all Porsche customers the same with regards to providing warranty service and...
Sorry to hear. Hope they get the parts to fix it soon. What year is your Taycan? Seems to be affecting all models older and newer production. Now I'm worried.
So far during my first 2 weeks of Taycan ownership, wireless CarPlay has been working very reliably, much to my surprise. It seems to connect fairly quickly upon every PCM startup and doesn’t seem to disconnect randomly like it did on my last 3 Audi and BMW cars that also had wireless CarPlay...
