I can say that my dealer was fairly clueless when it came to the TYD site, multiple times telling me that I should wait for an email. That said though, they did send me build sheets (made a few changes over the months between ordering and production) and provide updates when asked (though has...

My hope is that for starters, my GTS will go into production soon, and I'll get it this summer (originally slated for May delivery, but...). Beyond that, I'm thinking that by the time the next Taycan is released, I can make a better informed decision on what I really need out of an EV. If a...

Either the writer or the presenter has no idea what the word hypothesis means, and makes me question the entirety of the article. Calling something a hypothesis is just declaring your initial guess before you do more rigorous study of the subject. It neither implies true or false, and calling...

I'm in the same boat, though I had just managed to get TYD setup after emailing Porsche support about why it wasn't showing up before. It's interesting, the car is allegedly in phase 2 "Scheduled for production" on the overview page, but shows no progress in the detailed map page like yours and...

That's pretty crazy for sure for them to open their factory and go to work given that things certainly aren't any better than they were a few weeks ago. I can only hope that those workers are getting one hell of a bonus. They sure deserve it, even though I'm sure working for a few hours might...

Talked to my dealer a bit today, his understanding was that production is still stopped for Taycans. He also mentioned being at the PECLA later this week and planned to ask a few question there as well. His opinion was that it didn't seem like even Porsche was sure how much things would be...

There's nothing here that I'd consider complaining except for maybe the bit about L2 charging, which is a pretty valid concern, if the article is to be believed.

Yeah, that seems to be the model that makes the most sense. The thought of reservations definitely makes me cautious though. I don't want to have to spend more time planning my trips, and having to setup multiple reservations per day for a long trip just feels like a hassle. The longer a trip...

This is kind of interesting. If I were to be designing a Porsche charging network, I'd basically just design a cross between a premium airport lounge and a dealer service waiting room. Put 4-8 DCFC chargers on a dealer lot close to the waiting building, have a nice cozy area with some tables for...

There's no way they end up with intakes that large on the production model, right? I mean, that's like 5x larger than any other EV I can think of.

Yeah, this is all just based on that one screencap of an email that somebody posted a week ago. It's not new information, just a new article. As for the folks upset about people posting about how theirs just made it through production in time, I get that it seems insensitive to you, but it's...

Nope, I'm just adding to it. ;)

I mean, can anybody really prove that Porsche didn't just take all the defective Taycans and their owners, put them on the Ace Felicity, and set it ablaze? It's the perfect play. No bad reviews from owners, they can collect the insurance money to recover the costs, and nobody will ever find...

To be fair car reviews are about as subjective as you can get, so I find it best not to worry so much about any one person's opinion. I honestly just want to hear a bunch of hot takes of people trying the car so I can determine what I might really like or really hate about it. I look for...

Yeah, I'm similarly confused, but I also understand how difficult it is to manage communication across such a wide market. I suspect that email really only applied to a specific region, and it doesn't make sense to tell them that every other region isn't impacted by it, and similarly doesn't...

The problem in my mind is that Tesla keeps digging a bigger sunk cost hole with every new car they sell in the US that uses their proprietary charger and every new charging station they install. They need to fully adopt CCS on their cars and chargers to start digging their way out, or they're...

I asked my dealer about it and got two messages about an hour apart. The first saying they hadn't heard anything about a production stop, and then the second that it only affected Leipzig.

Man, that's a bit of a gut punch if it impacts the Taycans. Mine is supposed to be in production later this month. Guess I'll be asking my dealer what's up.

It could go either way IMO. If there isn't much telemetry data to review (video, sensors, etc), every crew member has likely already told their story about what happened, and I doubt that they'll have much more they could share that would be useful at this point. They might be able to make a...

The bit about getting onsite batteries and canopies sounded nice, and should only help things keep up with faster charging speeds and an overall better experience. Adding cameras into the stations as they mentioned would be neat too, and presumably linked to the canopies. They also did a good...
