    Opinions please, Lease ending, CPO or extended warranty upon purchase from Porsche?

    Having gone from 23 GTS to 25 GTS here are my assessments: - Better range, substantially. 299 miles @90%. - Better charging speed, substantially. 315kW best so far, and holds it deeper into the curve. - Better performance, substantially. Honestly the first time I've felt a car is "fast enough."...

    Possible total loss?

    I hope that's a total loss - you don't want it any more after this. And like the others I bet it will be. Every body panel on the side is damaged, plus frame integrity and who knows what to the battery/cooling system.

    PSCB Coating Failure at 44k Miles — My Experience and What I Learned

    That's using your noodle! And when the brakes do wear, you won't be broken financially to repair them.

    In What World Does This Make Sense?

    Chalk Night Vision up to another feature like PSCB - too expensive to maintain, not worth it. Whenever mine gets cracked I'll just turn off the feature. Getting pretty tired of these built-in costly expenses.

    Swapped J1.1 4S to J1.2 GTS - My Observations / Review

    But improvements to range and charging speed! Also performance.

    Swapped J1.1 4S to J1.2 GTS - My Observations / Review

    Well shoot. I’ll try and capture noise on mine. The stealership says it’s normal, but I definitely notice it vs the old car. It does sound like airflow noise so maybe it is normal. I should drive another J1.2.

    PSCB Coating Failure at 44k Miles — My Experience and What I Learned

    My assumption - until proven otherwise - is that we might need calipers to complete the downgrade. But then you’re off the PSCB crazy train for good. I do know iron rotors exist for the same wheel size, as my 23 GTS had iron brakes with red calipers. My 25 has PSCB with white calipers. Same...

    PSCB Coating Failure at 44k Miles — My Experience and What I Learned

    Id buy fresh irons before messing with that.

    Swapped J1.1 4S to J1.2 GTS - My Observations / Review

    One of the things I noticed after upgrading was additional wind noise from the drivers side / front area over 60mph. It is like a hissing / wind sound. I am curious if you’ve noticed the same, having done a similar technology jump. I also switched from manual charge doors to automated so...

    PSCB Coating Failure at 44k Miles — My Experience and What I Learned

    I think it's fair to say PSCBs are kind of a failed experiment. Many of us have had them forced on us due to wheel choice, but they really do not make sense. Having just redone all of my brakes (on a brand new car, grr) I hope I don't need to change them for a long time, but when I do I will...

    PSCB Coating Failure at 44k Miles — My Experience and What I Learned

    You’ll still save then by getting the parts from Suncoast. Get the bolts and sensors too as the dealership will insist on new. You should save a few thousand in the end.

    PSCB Coating Failure at 44k Miles — My Experience and What I Learned

    That quote is crazy high, is it for all four? I was recently quoted around 7k for fronts, but even that was high because the parts were at dealer markup. Order the parts from Suncoast, pay the dealer for labor. https://www.suncoastparts.com/category/taycan9brawhi.html Unless the coating failed...

    Air Conditioning not cooling. extended warranty failure

    Huh. Weird but ok. I had a Porsche shop once replace the PCM because they couldn’t figure out how to install a map update, back when that required money and a service visit. Insanity.

    Air Conditioning not cooling. extended warranty failure

    What specifically is your CarPlay problem? I find dealerships will often shotgun a PCM when the actual problem is software related.

    Is this standard marring?

    Looks pretty light, most polish compounds should work. Take it to a professional detailer.

    Yet another electrical system error - ARB6 software in action?

    I empathize. It’s a serious disruption to be without the car for long periods of time over these issues. My tolerance for driving loaners I don’t like is low.

    Air Conditioning not cooling. extended warranty failure

    I don’t have specific experience with Porsche extended warranty but this has been my reason for hesitation every time. I don’t trust it to come through when I need it.

    Please accept my apologies, as you've now commented more than once on the sushi comment :) I didn't mean any mean spirit by it. If anything, I was impressed by your bravery :)
