    Taycan Production to Stop for a 'Substantial' Period of Time

    But that's sort of irrelevant, since the poster I replied to is also from the US. If his dealer is saying that GTS ST models aren't moving at all, even to the largest dealers in the country, that's objectively false information.

    Taycan Production to Stop for a 'Substantial' Period of Time

    Sorry, but this just seems like bad info. My GTS ST literally went into production a few days ago (and actually would have been here by now if I hadn't done PTS), and my dealer is definitely not a high volume dealer.

    Taycan Production to Stop for a 'Substantial' Period of Time

    To be clear, I had a deposit on a 4S CT since September that had yet to get an allocation. I had been hounding my dealer over it for a couple months when the GTS was announced, and they just so happened to have an ST allocation available, so I jumped on it. My company also gave me a nice raise...

    Taycan Production to Stop for a 'Substantial' Period of Time

    Well, my GTS apparently went into the "Start Production" phase today, so it sure seems like they're still building them, and boy am I happy about it, since I've been waiting since September

    NEMA 14-50 outlet question

    I have that exact charger and can vouch for it being a great fit for us. The one thing to triple check is the distance to both car locations and their charging ports, as the 25' reach sounds great but can be shorter than you'd think. The EVSE is great though, and haven't had a problem with it yet.

    NEMA 14-50 outlet question

    Honestly, I'd stick to 50A and not overthink it. 9.6kW will likely be sufficient for any needs in the near future, and if it isn't you'll probably want to jump to 100A anyways and not just 60A. For reference though, 9.6kW would allow you to charge a 200kWh battery (more than twice as large as...

    PTS colors can now be visualized in Taycan configurator

    Only a week til my Acid Green GTS ST is in production. Nice to be able to visualize it.

    GTS (not ST) in the snow?

    The ST shouldn't really make any difference here, since it's the same ride height. This video should answer all you need to know: A CT would probably be a bit better in deep snow, but it certainly doesn't seem like it would be a slouch in any regard.

    GTS USA status

    Sort of depends on what was subpar about the job. If there are clear issues with the install, I'd take it to the certified installer and get their take on it, and have them explain to the dealer (potentially getting XPEL involved) why it isn't to spec. XPEL would certainly want to know if a...

    Taycan GTS and GTS Sport Turismo *USA ORDER AND ALLOCATION THREAD*

    Mine is scheduled to go into production in just two weeks from now. The anticipation is killing me.

    4S CT ownership didn't get off to a good start

    That's definitely a red flag in my mind. Like, why would they even put that wheel on at all? For a shop that's seemingly so anal about doing things by the book by replacing 20k of parts for this, you'd think they'd have a procedure in place to at least walk around the car and take a look at it...

    4S CT ownership didn't get off to a good start

    Well that's an interesting turn. Did they do any of the other work they wanted to do? Maybe Porsche started poking around at the repairer in question and they're just trying to pretend it never happened?

    Guys, the dashcam model is in the bottom right of the video, BlackVue DR900s-2ch ;)

    Taycans affected by WME3 will NOT be retrofitted with an electronic steering column adjustment

    I didn't get that impression from this thread, but if that's the case the next words out of my mouth to the dealer would be "You have the opportunity to make me a Porsche customer for life, or someone that will directly tell everyone that talks to me about the car how I was delivered a car...

    Zuffenhausen Production closing next week

    I'm now getting a 7/1 delivery. Didn't have TYD setup until a week ago, but the dealer had told me May/June for delivery previously, so this would be pushing it back by more or less that same month delay.

    Taycans affected by WME3 will NOT be retrofitted with an electronic steering column adjustment

    That's wild, I wonder what the compensation will look like. I'd have to imagine some people would just want a full refund. If I were affected, I'd probably say $10,000 or a straight up trade for a brand new identical car. It doesn't even matter how much I use the adjustments, that's crazy for...

    Rear Ended. Need advice.

    That seems like pretty light damage for it to be undriveable. I'd have to assume that it's only throwing errors because the airbags deployed?

    PTS option gone?

    I thought I had read somewhere that they were trying to get the PTS colors into the configurator. Maybe they're just hitting snags as they're trying to set that up?

    Lotus Eletre

    It looks interesting, and hoping to see a ton more competition like this, but no way I'm buying a Lotus EV when they have fewer than 50 US dealerships as far as I can tell, and I bet most independent shops aren't going to touch a 6 figure EV. Oh, and this is their first EV, so it surely will...
