In the fall of 2020 and the Spring of 2021 when I was not traveling for work and desperate to get out of the house and hit the road, this is what I resorted to. This was my first Taycan that I got in May, 2020.
The CT4S makes bike transport sooooooooooooo much easier.
The CT picture...
I have never tried to put a fork holder on the one side to lower the bike height to see if that will improve airflow over the car when a bike is on the back.
My bike is an XL mt. bike, so what I do to help air flow is lower the seat post and saddle so it sits below the car roof line.
I...
I love seeing the CT put to use like this since this is how I use mine here in Colorado.
I had a charging component failure last month that left me stranded in Colby, KS at 9am on a Sunday morning. Porsche service got me and the car picked up and delivered the 240 miles back to Denver with...
Yes. Luckily it was only out of commission for a week.
The car got some new charging components, and seems to be working fine. I also got a certain acknowledgment from Porsche that makes up for the inconvenience I went through.
I am road tripping in the Taycan to Tucson for three days next...
I hate to interrupt one of this forum's favorite past times of whining about Electrify America, but I did want to clarify something.
Kyle is not a "westerner." He moved to Colorado a few years ago from the southeast. I want to say North Carolina.
Ok, back to whining about Electrify...
Of course.
It may be just me, but when I prefer Thomas when it comes to reviewing Porsches. I also like Mat Watson from the CarWow channel. He has the whole snarky British humor thing going, which I enjoy. Mat also owns a new GT3 RS, so he actually has some Porsche credibility. I also...
@tigerbalm
You continue to serve as a model for the rest of us who enjoy long road trips in our Taycans. You make my 2,500km drives to throughout the American Rockies or American plain states seem like a drive to the local market when you post about these epic drives to the Arctic Circle!
I...
I will give Kyle credit for creating a "YouTube empire" by simply covering EVs. It has provided him with credibility to get early access to a number of launch vehicles, and allowed him to buy a few cars.
I am not 30 years old, so his manner of communication does nothing for me. If there...
As background, the first system warning I got was the "Electrical System Error," and that was then followed up by a 12v battery system error.
With this issue, there was no self clearing by walking away from the car for 15 or 20 minutes to see if it would reset itself.
I keep the group in to...
As we all know, the universe has a way of balancing itself. I was on the last leg of a 2,500 road trip from Denver to Houston and back when the car decided to throw electrical system/12v battery faults in the middle of my charging session in Colby, KS. I was able to move the car out of the...
I will be in Plano for a meeting on Tuesday morning in my CT4s. I am doing a Denver - Bartlesville - Plano - Houston - Wichita - Denver run next week to see a bunch of clients so figured I would enjoy the open road since the weather is supposed to be mild for the the first three-fourths of the...
While I love a good rant, I am not sure this one is warranted.
Electrify America's network is not designed to saturate low EV ownership metropolitan areas with charging locations. If you want to see what their plans have been, and will be, I would recommend you review this...
Great post. And, you are 100% correct in sharing we are lucky to have this space.
For me, the car forums serve multiple purposes. First and foremost, it is a good place to find out if other people are experiencing similar issues with their vehicle as you might be. For instance, this forum...
You are exactly right. I have found that some people are "wagon" people, which I have evolved into now with my CT4S ownership, and some people absolutely hate the "wagon" look, especially on the Taycan.
To be honest, I was given access to a Lucid for a weekend, and put almost 1,000 miles on...
Touche!!!!!!!!!
As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A Lucid for me seems awful, but a huge ugly beast like a Hummer EV does not seem as bad for a 2nd car.
Meh. The title of the article should be "I went to the Porsche dealer and expected my ass kissed, so when that did not happen I got mad and bought the ugliest car in the EV world." Good f*ucking lord, the person sounds like a Ken.
Will it go 400 miles on a charge? Sure. But who wants to...
Oh, I am here!!!!!
I agree with @daveo4EV - I am totally open to dealing with adapter hell if it means I can charge my car and get on my way. However, for me, a Tesla station will always be a back up in case an EA charger is out of commission. The law of averages says EA can't continue to...
This is why I like this forum - input from all parts of the world. We have comments on masculinity and "road size," comments on Tesla, comments on big truck hatred, comments on Porsche values. I think we have touched on it all.
For the record, I live out in the western US and have access...
I thought the same thing until I test drove it.
I am not there yet, but I may swap out my Rivian for one. I love my CT4S, but the Hummer just has something about it that might make a good super unpractical 2nd car.
