    Taycan Made Better?

    Perfect! That is hilarious! I gotta say this... I've grown to like it - and surprisingly, get a ton of comments on the color. The Porsche store makes a lot of comments - says all they see is white, black, silver and that neon green. I wanted something that wouldn't be as common... Guess I...

    Taycan Made Better?

    What's another 100 lbs or so on a car over 5k? lol

    Taycan Made Better?

    At almost 60, I am the past! Lol. I used to love listening to Rush Limbaugh, but since his death, I haven't listened to AM talk radio.

    Taycan Made Better?

    One other thing. If you don't get the pano top, just remember that you won't be able to roll down the windows and feel the breeze as you're rolling down the road. The buffeting will beat you to death! Lol

    Taycan Made Better?

    Virginia Beach area can get pretty hot as well. So far, this sun has gone unnoticed as far as heat penetration. They've done a nice job there. I did not get the pano top with the screening capability and it has been just fine.

    Taycan Made Better?

    The safety mechanism is a feature that senses a blockage (like a child's arm or head) getting caught when the window is rolling up. The car senses it and automatically rolls down the window. When the window didn't go directly into the top track and bumped into the outer edge (because of the...

    Taycan Made Better?

    Oh - and the pano roof does a pretty good job of keeping the heat out.

    Taycan Made Better?

    I'm 60 this year and anything over $100k should have some luxury features. I bought a Porsche because it was sporty looking and really drove well. If I wanted a rocket, I would have bought a Tesla Plaid - that handled really badly! lol It seams the older I get, the softer my booty! Why have...

    Taycan Made Better?

    I forgot another thing... Let's call it 14! lol 14. "Active lane change" should be exactly that! My BMW 840 would check traffic and steer to the next lane (right or left) simply by hitting the turn signal. That was super nice.

    Taycan Made Better?

    I agree with everything except the battery preheating. I've never had a problem - even in the winter. Porsche has been pretty good about battery function and expected range - and getting your car warmed up quickly in the winter.

    Taycan Made Better?

    I totally get it, but we're not talking about having to touch the steering wheel, we're talking about having to give it a jerk every 15 seconds or so - when you get the message to "take over steering". I had a BMW 840 that had the capacitive steering wheel. I had to touch it for safety...

    Proximity braking too sensitive!

    More often than not, my emergency braking from the proximity warning kicks in when I'm backing in to my garage. It's a nuisance! I've got plenty of clearance and I back in slowly - AND - the sensors and cameras are clean. I'll pump the brake, it releases and then BAM - emergency brake! Over...

    Taycan Made Better?

    AND I wish my "cherry metallic" color was more cherry than burgundy! You get the cherry in the sunlight, but in the clouds - it's old-school burgundy. :-)

    Taycan Made Better?

    I concur on the memory feature on #4. The car should have an expected setup when you re-enter. Not sure if you've encountered it, but I've found several times that I've lost the radio enhancement features (like Bose and bass/treble settings). These features are supposed to be locked in when...

    Rear window buffeting prevents windows from working

    So I've found a problem I can reproduce that I'm planning on fixing on my next dealership visit. While rolling down the road on a nice day, I decided to put the windows down. As all of you probably know, the buffeting is super uncomfortable. I rolled up the 2 front windows, then the right...

    Taycan Made Better?

    I've been asked what would make my Taycan better. I can only think of a few things. Here are my thoughts. I'd be interested in yours. Pano roof with variable light control. This option came out AFTER I ordered my 2022. Yip - missed out. Capacitive steering so the car knows I'm touching...

    Rear window of my new Taycan has a spider crack

    I was driving yesterday afternoon from one store to another and my rear window cracked from the bottom up in the center. When the crack reached the bottom, it actually chipped at the edge. I immediately went to this forum to see if others had the same problem. Hoping they have some in stock.

    2022 Cherry Metallic Porsche Taycan 4S

    No. I drove to the airport to my hangar to take a flight and thought it would be a good place for a picture. ?

    Charging and range worryingly bad

    Not sure how heavy your foot is, but just drive it like a regular car. The Taycan makes it SUPER tempting to put your foot in it - because it just feels good! I have a 2022 4S with only 500 miles on it. Got the same thing the first charge. The charge miles showed 215 afterwards with 100%...
