This is actually quite helpful. Thanks!!!

Ron, for a non-engineer like me, can you analyze and interpret this chart? From my layman's perpsective, it looks like the Tesla, as expected, kicked the Taycan's butt. However, it didn't do as well as the EPA said it would and the Taycan did better than the EPA rating (consistent with many...

If that was the only video I saw of the Taycan, I would keep looking for another car. I suppose it wasn't Jay's job to "sell" the car, but he acted as if this car was no big deal. I think that's the disconnect. That is, the Taycan is a major addition to the EV market and he treated it like a new...

In the pics above (in list order...sadly, not chronological) (1) Ron-b, me, Reg, Louv, ArtDept, and the Porsche Stevens Creek test Taycan (2) the Porsche schwag + ArtDept's black on black Taycan shirt (thank you!) (3) Don on his Panther (4) Don's navigator and co-pilot (R2D2) (5) Don's TeslaTap...

Today at noon, four TaycanForum members (myself, Ron_b, Reg, and ArtDept) met up with Don (louv) at Porsche Stevens Creek in Santa Clara, CA. We stood around his car for a few minutes until it was whisked away to be detailed and for data to be uploaded to the mother ship (science!). After...

Personally, I didn't appreciate how negative he was to the interviewer in one video when clearly he was completely thrilled with the car whilst driving it in another video. I wonder what changed for him in between the two settings. But it was fun to watch him drive the Taycan around the track.

What color is that Taycan? Are the lights making that a color I don't recognize?

Well this is quite upsetting. Perhaps you should take it up with the manager in charge of that showroom. He's about to lose business...and that is 100% preventable.

Attention San Francisco Bay Area Taycan Forum members. Don is coming into the area and I am organizing the lunch on February 12 in the San Jose general area. If you’d like to attend, please direct message me through the Forum’s “email” function. I need a number by Monday evening please.

I brought this issue up with the GM of my local Porsche showroom. He claimed he hadn't heard of it. I asked him to raise the issue with Porsche management. He said he would, but I wasn't convinced it was high on his To-Do list. Now that we have at least 2 data points, I'd say this is a feature...

Are those the tires the car came with or snow tires? How has it been handling in all the snow/ice? Any comments/observations/jokes?

It was only a matter of time. Watch in the next few days as this “news” travels the world with all kinds of fantastic embellishments! LOL

I keep imagining what would look like if it was the "new" Ford Mustang EV (for example). What other brand would give you such amazing customer service? Yeah, we pay a premium for a Porsche. And then we get treated like a valued customer. It's worth it.

I guess if you expected 10,000 miles without drama, Fate is reminding you she exists. Having said that, Porsche owes you the cost of your trip for debugging their car. More than that, they owe you and all of us an honest and true reconciliation (i.e. an explanation) for what on earth is...

Personally, when I drove the Turbo for my first test drive, I didn’t notice anything. However, for my second test drive, my wife was in the passenger seat. She felt it immediately. I was “forced” to do a relaxed drive around town. She commented about 2 hours after that she still felt it...

I'll join in as well!

I ordered mine with the dark trim. Ultimately these things are a personal choice. What I want to know is how many people are NOT putting the badge on the rear? To me, it seems counter intuitive to not having the "Taycan" name on the rear of the car. But so far, I have spoken to a few people...

I asked my local dealer (in Santa Clara, CA) if there would be a launch party/event. He said yes in March or April, but did not clarify if it would be for that dealership only (doubtful) or the Porsche Center in Los Angeles (probable). I have placed my order for an April 1st start date. I have...

I’ve never owned (nor driven) a Porsche before...the Taycan was first. I added the Sports Package mainly because I want all that Porsche can do. Will I *need* it? No. Do you really *need* a Porsche in the first place? No. But this is a You Only Live Once opportunity for me. I doubt my next car...

I always *try* to buy from the dealer I will have service the vehicle. I want to build (or strengthen) a relationship with the GM and other managers. It pays dividends later ... especially if you want to purchase another car later and/or have a problem that requires more attention. Relationships...
