    Going to buy used taycan, pls help with decision

    I agree with the poor view of the basic 360 camera versus others I've seen, although it does include extra camera views such as along the sides that I do find useful.

    Removing a wrap

    I had a small section of PPF removed from the trunk of my car after about 4 years and there was no paint damage. I believe the prior owner reused the original badges rather than new ones following PPF, and one of them shifted. You should definitely buy all new emblems if you remove for PPF...

    "Drivers Spent Twice The Time At Free DC Chargers Than Paid Ones" - Article

    Thinking the free chargers are slower so people probably stay plugged in while they eat, shop, or walk around.

    Where to put the keys?

    Yikes. I'll suggest also have a plan of action for this type of event, whether it is to feign ignorance, fight back, or let them have your property to avoid injury.

    Nail in tire

    Probably the motors creating an electromagnetic field around the wheels. ;) Sorry to see your trouble

    Love this car

    Congratulations on the car. I enjoy talking about my Taycan with car people but not nearly as much with non enthusiasts.

    Where to put the keys?

    Pocket, of course. Isn't that the point of keyless entry and start? :)

    Does Porsche limit available power?

    Only experience with this was test driving a Q4. It did reduce power due to a low battery charge.

    Taycan connectivity issues

    ^^ This I spoke with customer support the last two days and both times they said Connect services have been up and down.

    Extended Warranty worth it?

    The platinum plan extended warranty in the US covers nearly all the components that would be included with the new car warranty, although there will be some specific exceptions. I couldn't find the actual VSP documents during a quick search, but I noticed trim does not appear to be mentioned so...

    Porsche Connect services and store down?

    I should have read this first. I called Porsche North America and the very polite woman on the other end tried to help but eventually had to give up and say the Connect service is completely down. She said it's expected to be back up in 24 hours.

    Why US drivers may be thinking about EVs all wrong.... BBC article....

    I can tell you my own hesitation with replacing my ICE SUV, which we use for "more than a tankful" trips. There are so many stories of people going to charge locations and finding many or all the fast chargers non-functional, leaving only slower DC chargers and lines forming. Since chargers...

    Poll

    I'm new to both EVs and Porsche but the experience so far has been good. Equal acceleration to my RS5 and nearly equal handling (on the street at least), a gorgeous interior and view out the front, always being in the right gear, no driveline lash, never mis-timing a shift, no turbo lag, no gas...

    Tesla Cybertruck’s 911 Gimmick

    Try to unwad them, it was only humor. But, from Motortrend: Next, you'll need to select "Drag Strip Mode," which is Teslaspeak for launch control. The system then preconditions the battery pack, bringing it to its ideal operating temperature. This can take anywhere from eight to 15 minutes...

    Tesla Cybertruck’s 911 Gimmick

    If the Cybertruck has to prep for its drag run like the Model S Plaid, then its actual quarter mile run is 11 seconds... plus 10 minutes. And only once before a long rest. :angel:

    All things being equal... 2021 Base Taycan w/ performance plus battery vs 2021 4s without perf plus battery?

    In the 4S, the performance plus battery also increases max HP and torque, does it not? From what I understand, it may have no real impact in real world 0-60 but will improve response in highway passing. My seat of the pants said the performance battery 4S was faster from 50-70mph than the GT e...

    clicking/sticking noise in the driver's seat back

    FWIW, I had a warranty repair (PODS issue) on the seat in my Audi that required pulling it apart. As long as the service tech is careful, there is no reason anything should scratch or look different. I hope your repair goes smoothly.

    Porsche ID can’t log in on PCM

    Not ideal, but deleting your account from the PCM and adding it back may work. Mine showed me as a secondary user despite the Porsche ID being correct. I deleted from the car and added back and all was good, although I had to set up my drive mode and radio favorites again.

    taycan rear wheel drive

    Nitrogen is only 7 on the periodic table versus oxygen at 8, so it reduces unsprung weight and therefore increases performance. Not being flammable, it also reduces risk of fire as tires get hot during a track session and is an absolute requirement for any sporting car. :CWL:

    Crest key ring as a substitute for the Porsche Charging Service Card

    Still cool looking with the contrast stitching but too much money to buy in the US for appearance only
