    This 2026 GTS is interesting

    The one caution I have here: get a pre-purchase inspection from a shop that isn't invested in the sale. I no longer trust CPO as a gold-standard, as I bought a low-mile CPO that ended up a track car at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta. The expensive brakes were cooked.

    2026 Cayenne Coupe EV Debut!

    When I saw “coupe” I was ready to trade in right away, until I saw 4 doors. I want a two door.

    NHTSA Complaint - Explosion and fire while vehicle exterior was buffed - April 20, 2026

    It doesn’t matter. There is no reality where buffing the paint caused a battery fire. It was either unrelated, or some induced by some other shop accident.

    What Happens To Us After 8 Years? (When battery warranty expires)

    I’d look at getting a battery from a crashed Taycan.

    Lease -->PPF??

    I have a lot of questions as this hasn’t been my experience at all. I don’t doubt you though. - What PPF product was used? - Did the PPF have any inherent UV protection? - How long before it was replaced? - Any protection on the bare painted surfaces, ceramic or similar? - What color was the...

    This dude is really ambitious - I bought a wrecked Porsche Taycan (restoration project).

    That was pretty amazing, TBH. "I have no experience" and ends up doing a better job than Porsche centers I've used.

    Upgrade from MY2021 to MY2024

    I went from a 21 to a 23, then a 25. The 21-23 jump was a very incremental upgrade, and then only because I went from base to GTS. I'd really try for a 25 if you can, the J1.2 is a lot better.

    Are Porsche owners arrogant?

    I never buy a car (or anything else) for other people. I couldn’t care less what people think.

    Are Porsche owners arrogant?

    I went to Porsche Palooza in Arkansas one year in a Taycan. It was about 50/50 between interested people with questions, and muttered sneers.

    Tyre brand for Taycan - poor longevity with current

    I run the electric p zeros now. They last around 11-12k at most.

    Exceptional charging performance, or just the Taycan norm?

    Yeah!! Team battery hostile!

    How to sell your Taycan ?

    Not at all. Take it to a Porsche dealer and ask them for a “buy bid.” Unless they don’t want the inventory they will make you an offer. It won’t be as good as the secondary market.

    Dash disassembly instructions needed

    Was yours easily reproducible? Mine is 100% reproducible until today when I took it in, which was frustrating. Assumption here is cold car in the morning exhibits the problem, 45 mins driving with the heat on alleviates it.

    Dash disassembly instructions needed

    And of course, I do.

    Dash disassembly instructions needed

    Yep that sounds exactly the same. I was thinking of a similar fix to your temporary one, jamming some kind of felt in there (preferably non adhesive) to stop the audible vibration. Did your temp fix fail to work, or did you just want a cleaner repair? (I was thinking the felt would be out...

    Dash disassembly instructions needed

    Here’s my deal. On cold mornings I get an irritating rattle from the oval LCD dashboard. If I pull on the right edge, it stops. The fix here is obvious; tighten things up and/or pad with felt. I took it in this morning to have a Porsche shop fix it and of course, it stopped happening on the...
