Received my plates today and went to swap out the temporary tag and I guess I was a bit overzealous tightening one of them, and now it is stripped. Any ideas for a quick fix short of ordering a new $60 rear bracket from suncoast? google search suggests using epoxy to fill in the hole, let...

Nope. Not fixed for me yet. Already called Porsche NA multiple times. Ticket has been submitted to Porsche in Germany even. Haven’t heard back yet. They did say this is a known problem that some owners are having while some others are not, and that they were sorry that they don’t have a...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I’ve had mine for 2 weeks and 350 miles and have not removed it yet. I don’t think I’m ready. That’s a big step. Will probably need someone to help talk me through it. Well, at least you recorded its removal for repeated playback at your leisure.

Thanks! These are the stock GTS wheels as they came from the factory. Standard satin black "Turbo S" 20" on my sedan and the optional Satin black "RS Spyder" 21" on the Sport Turismo.

Met up with another forum member KoSoVaR today and took some beauty shots of our new Taycans with the Chicago skyline as a backdrop. He just had a full stealth wrap over his beautiful Neptune Blue GTS ST and I just had a front clear PPF on my Chalk GTS sedan done as well. Both cars are kinda...

Congrats!!! Finally. She’s a beaut. I hear ya on wanting to sit in it all night. That’s kinda what I did when I first got mine… drove it until battery was low and brought it home and sat in it for nearly 3 hours while parked in our garage charging. I almost passed out because I had the...

well I don't know about you folks, but my Taycan isn't a sports car... it's a RACECAR (according to my kids) ;)

My Porsche account is all set and ready for the complimentary charging. I have now tried three different EA charging stations within the city limits of Chicago (2 at 2 different Target store lots, and 1 at a Bank of America lot, and even tried all the charging stalls at each station (at least...

It’s not too bad IMO. Really not much worse than average. Somewhat common with any car that has frameless door windows. Trunk isn‘t bad. My wife’s A6 allroad is way worse - you open the trunk lid after some rain and your pants will get soaked unless you clear out of the way. So many...

I think it’s a feature. jk. That’s why I ceramic-coated (DIY) all the leather surfaces. Works very well. Lasts for around 2 years before needing re-application. Applied it myself on past and current cars including the Taycan. Very easy DIY application, but wear a mask or try to do it...

I usually just say I don't know anything about the car because it's my wife's car and I'm just borrowing it, and that I normally drive a gas-guzzling truck and make lots of bad decisions.

Yes, I get that. So the only workaround for now seems to be changing the departure time to compensate. Worst case, if the departure time is set too late and overcompensates for the discrepancy, I'd just be short a few % of my desired charge level by the time I leave. No big deal in my case...

Actually there is a 50 amp EVSE. The Autel Maxicharger has 50A (12kW) model that can be set to 50A, 48A, 40A, 32A, 20A, etc based on the breaker it is installed on. It's a great unit btw and I really love the extensive connectivity features. Although I'm fully aware the stock AC charger...

Beautiful Taycan. I wish you good luck with the sale! And I wish you even more luck with the Lucid. I have a feeling you're going to need it :)

when setting the charging timer on the PCM or myPorsche app, does the Taycan initiate charging to reach desired percentage based on a certain fixed AC charging rate? I'm guessing it's not a "smart" system that senses how fast the charging rate was historically or recently based on the location...

As I predicted! ? Love the cherry red! And those 19s are actually a good design IMO - they'd at least make a nice winter set. Congrats!

I believe there are truck loading areas (circled in red) as well as railway loading areas (circled in blue) to transport VW Group vehicles from the Sparrow’s Point facility to the dealerships. At least with the higher value Porsche vehicles, they often go on trucks directly to the dealerships.

That’s because it‘s probably already there at your dealership. They just may not have checked it in yet. My TYD didn’t update to “Arrival at Your Authorized Porsche Dealer” until a day after it arrived and after they’ve already PDI’d it. You’ll probably get a call from your dealer tomorrow...

Great review. I too had a favorable impression of Lucid, but mostly based on shills on youtube, etc., and also from a short chat with an owner at an EA charging station who literally just picked it up a few days earlier. I always thought it was so damn ugly - like deal-breaking...

Confucius now anchored offshore, probably waiting for a parking spot to open up! VW group port processing @ Sparrow's Point marked on map...
