Experienced a strange issue this morning. I have had my CT4 parked in my home garage for about 3 weeks. I powered up, began to reverse, and it felt like there was an obstruction - the car didn’t roll like I’m used to. I immediately backed off accelerator pedal and walked around. No obstructions...

Hoping to tap the wisdom of the experienced summer/winter wheel set swappers here. The manual indicates a very binary 45°F (7°C) ambient for the threshold to switch. For a daily driver, what are the considerations for switching during the transition period where daytime highs are consistently...

I purchased the Porsche Performance Roof Box before I received my CT4 (unboxing thread here). After seeing the issues @Swissbob experienced with his OEM roof bars, I decided to get the Thule WingBar Edge 9585B roof bars. After two winter road trips, I've been experiencing a frustrating noise...

Winter has arrived in the US northeast. Drove my CT4 for 30m this morning, and noticed condensation in the front headlights. There have been previous postings about condensation in the rear lights, but I haven't seen anything about the front. The car was in my garage overnight and temperature...

Hi folks, I plan to do my own seasonal wheel changes. Any recommendations for: 1) A low profile jack that can handle the Taycan’s weight. 2) A reliable torque wrench. I could swear I read at least one thread that included some tips but search is failing me now. Thanks for any tips!

Back in September I purchased the new Porsche Wall Charger Connect, Porsche's new 80A hardwired level 2 EVSE. I've been upgrading my garage ahead of my CT4 delivery, and have had plenty of time to plan out the PWCC installation. Getting quotes from competent and reliable electricians has been...

I have searched for a thread or post that gathers advice and best practices for the process of placing an order for a custom build through a US dealer. Specifically, I mean the more transactional stuff like confirming an allocation, paying deposit, establishing purchase contract etc. - not...

From TYD and MarineTraffic, looks like my CT4 will be boarding the Siem Confucius tomorrow. Who else is sailing with me?

Besides the nice action shots by @Swissbob I haven't seen many pictures of the new Porsche Performance Roof Box. In preparation for my new CT4, I ordered one through my dealer's parts department. I am no YouTuber but I thought I would share some photos of the 'unboxing'. 1. When it arrived, the...

With the chip shortage, for those of you whose Taycan was delivered with a manual steering column when it should have been electric; have you been through the experience of the service appointment to retrofit the electric steering column? How big a job was it? Any issues of quality in the...

The US configurator seems to only allow the main build wheels to be fitted with summer tires or all season tires, with winters limited to the Tequipment section - which as I understand it is essentially a separate parts order. Does anybody know from experience if it’s possible to have your SA...

There’s lots of discussion of production and delivery delays; I’m curious to know if there are counter examples - i.e. whether anybody on the planet has recently received their Taycan on time relative to what was originally stated in TYD (even if the car was delivered with missing parts)? Have...

Here’s another freeze date approaching decision dilemma! I had settled on going with two sets of wheels: 1) 20" Taycan Turbo S Design Wheels with summer tires ($2,380 option in USA) 2) 19” Taycan S Aero Wheels with winter tires ($4601 USA Tequipment) Rationale for the two sets vs one has been...

Does anybody have the factory fitted fire extinguisher option? Could you share a photo please? Interested to know if / how much it gets in the way. I added the fire extinguisher to my build in a “why not” state of mind. Now wondering if it’s going to be an impediment around the front passenger...

Thinking ahead to winter and a few ski weekends. Any notable hotels in the popular north east ski destinations where there is a good charging setup, or EA nearby? Of course I’ve been searching but interested to hear first-hand recommendations.

Surprised to learn of this: upcoming hardwired Porsche EVSE that will do 19.2kW/80A and (at $ 1586 US) is less expensive than the ClipperCreek CS-100 and WattZilla Uno! https://shop.porsche.com/us/en/porsche-wall-charger-connect/p/%24B-HCHH0LAA/HCHH0LAA

This article from 2018 says that Porsche was stating that USA “dealers will be expected to install at least two 350 kW chargers at each location, along with a buffer battery”. I assume that this strategy has since been cast aside in favor of Electrify America, however are dealerships under any...

From reading and personal experience, lack of Taycan and general EV knowledge is an issue at many Porsche dealerships and service departments. Are there any dealerships in the northeast whose service departments have notable Taycan expertise? (E.g two or more Taycan-trained service technicians)...

My build is a blacked-out CT4. I don’t mind the stock black matte arches but it would be nice if they were an optional delete or could be specced to black gloss (I’m not waiting for the Sport Turismo to appear ?). Any idea if it is currently possible to purchase as parts and retrofit the gloss...

There has been some really helpful ongoing discussion on another thread on how to deal with mandatory front plates / avoiding drilling etc. I’m not looking to revisit the front plate topic here. I am interested in finding high quality options for US/Canada license plate framing and affixing at...
