    U.S. Taycan Pricing Went Way Up Today [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    thread doesn't have to go in this direction, fellas. it is pretty standard for pricing to go up year over year but a mid-cycle price hike is unexpected. i saw so many posts saying to buy your cars before January to avoid the hike but I thought they were just rumors. pretty unfortunate.

    Clicking/ticking noise periodically from center console area

    Bump. Also getting this sound, literally sounds like a clock under the dash but I don't have sport chrono. Will check and see if it lines up with the Key. I have noticed the key flashing red on the crest before.

    Speedometer Discrepancy

    Have the same "issue" on all of my german cars. I'd say it's pretty common on multiple makes, but it's a % increase. Is there a way to code it out? on BMWs it's a checkbox that you can disable, although if you ever change your wheel/tire diameter then it can throw it off again.

    Help needed - part number and explanation

    Looks like this is the part number for the 14-way seat. The whole panel with buttons are one part. 9J1-959-748-C-TM0 Here's someone that had to replace theirs. Remove the surrounding trim panel to access it. https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/seat-button-fell-off.21017/page-2#post-323479

    Rust on wheel hub normal?

    it's hard to know if something's wrong just from looking. if you can drag your finger nail across the surface and it doesn't catch on anything, then it's really just cosmetic.

    Think about buying a Porsche taycan for a daily driver

    One thing online forums and dealers have in common: You'll always hear when someone has a problem. You'll rarely hear when someone has none. I recommend only using the feedback here as points of reference so you know what to keep an eye on and you can solve problems if they happen to you. It...

    Keyless Entry

    Just interesting because It's the same with BMWs and Audis I follow. Common sentiment is there's more concern with cars being stolen that way. Or at least, most of the people that I see saying they don't want the option will say that's the reason.

    Keyless Entry

    It's standard in the US on Taycans, and I have it on all of my cars. My understanding is it's an option in europe for security reasons, not necessarily the battery/reliability.

    Aftermarket Battery Upgrades: Lessons from the BMW i3 community?

    I generally believe this is the future of EVs. There are already aftermarket companies and independent shops that are focused on EVs just like we've had for american cars, german cars, etc. It's less about the platform and more about the market. If they get cheap enough and enough people are...

    The Taycan is better looking than the 911

    I really, really like big gaping front grilles. Same reason I love Aston Martin. I never was in love with the front of base 911s, but the 992 made it way better and the front end of GT cars will always win in my book. EVs will never be at the top for me due to the chase for efficiency (And i...

    Air suspension problems

    Maybe the roads you drive on? It's common to have multiple components fail pretty close to eachother when they're the same age and exposed to the same elements. Cars I've had with air suspension tend to have dealer recommend changing both on one axle, or all 4 at the same time depending on the...

    Ford vs Porsche and “other drivers”

    In my boat definitely the opposite. People give us a lot of space. But, I think because we still have temp tags on it, I feel like the assumption is "I don't want to get in an accident with someone who a. just bought a car or B. may create a super complicated insurance fiasco." We'll see if it...

    Lease vs. Buying Used

    like the audi etron hack that ed bolian blasted last year. all those cars will be coming back at the same time because they sold out nationally almost instantly. I guarantee Audi won't be making that mistake again, and the forums are full of people asking what to move to because they don't want...

    Slow charging on a j1.2 on a 350Kw charger

    i'm new here so maybe this is a common trope, but "electrocute america" genuinely made me lol :CWL:

    Lease vs. Buying Used

    I went down this rabbit hole and came to the conclusion that leasing doesn't make sense. I don't get the leasing argument regardless of the car's price. If all you want to do is lease cars, that's fine. But it's not a value proposition. You are effectively paying for a long term rental with...

    Winter tyre pressures?

    a lot of german cars do that. it's based on tires/temp but also average speed, since most winter tires can't be driven as fast as summer tires. so you adjust the pressures to match. same reason a lot of cars have a max speed setting/warning, so you know if you're on the autobahn you can't cruise...

    Huge difference in consumption between tires

    i'm speaking from engineering background and personal experience. saying grippier tires have less rolling resistance does not make sense. everything about them from tire temp, grip, and increased wear indicate the opposite of what you're linking. and lines up exactly with OPs experience. have...

    WTB - Taycan (Black Exterior/Black or Tan Interior)

    no, but i'm not worried about buying private sale. especially from enthusiasts that are likely to have taken care of the car. the classifieds section was hard to sort through, so that's why I posted WTB. sometimes people are contemplating selling, but not sure. so if you're on the fence, this...
