I love my Taycan, but you're really drinking the Kool-Aid here.

Price is always a consideration, it's just to what extent and what income bracket. Companies start to go downhill when they believe their own ads.

This is the same thought process that doomed Porsche/BMW/Mercedes in China. They used to own the luxury market, their brands were aspirational. But recently, the domestic manufacturers have narrowed the gap to the point where the price differential is not justified and the buyers are voting...

Porsche tax is real.

And that's why there are tariffs.

I know Patent/copywrite laws are a little lax in China, but that is an exact exterior copy. They're not even trying to hide it.

Your car may need to have to remove the front bumper to do an alignment and will need to recalibrate the sensors.

Insurance companies will offer you replacement cost. If they lowball you, then contest it and send them comparable cars listed on carmax, carvana, etc. If reasonable, and not an outlier, they will usually agree to the amount.

I don't think it's the tires. If you're not doing any aggressive driving, you really won't be able to tell the difference between one tire over another other than road noise may be less, or the ride may be softer or harder. I would check to see if the car is not in jack stand mode and is...

easy total loss.

When my previous car (BMW) was totaled, the offer was much less than market replacement value. I contested it, and they had me send them ads for 3 cars currently on sale with similar specs and miles. I sent them 3 of the highest listed price ones I found on Cargurus. They accepted the listings...

I think it takes a lot longer to raise electricity rate than gasoline rates. Rates are sky high in California, but they only raise them once a year or longer

DC charging has not gone up at all. Especially for those of us that still have free charging.

Found this article: https://www.jdpower.com/business/press-releases/2026-us-electric-vehicle-experience-evx-ownership-study It includes reliability as one of the criteria. Still haven't found a reliability rank list exclusive to EVs

The majority of OTA updates are not recalls. They can be fixes, improvements, or just updates. Tesla, RIvian, and to a lesser extent Ford does this quite frequently.

JD powers should parse their data and release a separate chart for EVs. It would be much more relevant.

You can look at how many mechanical recalls and what percentages of vehicles they affect among different automakers. Anecdotally, there are more rampant complaints of problems on the Taycan/MachE forum than on the Tesla forum.

Design was intentional, lower weight, more income for dealers for eventual repair. It's a win/win for Porsche.

For me, broke is not broke. When I bought my first Tesla Model Y, there were some small panel gaps that I was not happy with. So I took it to the dealer to get it fix. It was elective, I could of lived with it, the car functioned fine, operated as normal. On the other hand, my Mache got the...

I would check with your auto insurance policy to see if they would cover that damage.
