I installed the Britax Marathon; it fits pretty well and sits between the bolsters. I added a Weathertech car seat mat under but I’ll probably need a noodle to adjust the angle as the Taycan seats are too reclined. Some photos for reference. Also really highlights how tight the Taycan is; I’m...

My 10 yo son (not a car person at all) just told me today he regrets not suggesting we get the EQS because it’s so much more comfortable and spacious than the Taycan (we just took delivery a few days ago). Also worth mentioning is that he said the EQS “doesn’t look bad” because it looks like his...

I have the bramble grey two tone. I love it; the purple is subtle but awesome.

For others looking for a car seat: I tried installing what was billed as the narrowest car seat on the market, Graco Tranzitions, and it was way off. It was about 17” wide and the space between the bolsters on the Taycan is only 13” at its narrowest and widening up to over 14”. It seems all the...

I don’t have 19 base wheels to sell but would buy them if local! Would be a great winter set.

I personally like the textured CT arches. They remind me of the textured wheel arches on the old MK II and MK III VW Golf GTI.

My dealer sent me a photo of my car. Looks like I’m getting it this week!

I just noticed in my obsessive checking that the Aristotle had left Baltimore and on the way to Veracruz! Anyone see an update on TYD? Edit: I see on TYD now that it arrived at entry port. Ever closer!

I see Siem Aristotle is now at Sparrows Point near Baltimore! Fingers crossed for those of us in the NE that we hear back from our dealers in the coming days!

Dealer reached out to me to say my car is still expected on the 21st, and actual delivery the week of the 28th. Given vesselfinder says the SIEM Aristotle will show up in Davisville on the 18th, seems like it is right on schedule for Baltimore on the 21st. It still feels very surreal but given...

My local dealer in the US quoted a year from order to an allocation, AND a sizable deposit on the day I order. Luckily I got a recommendation to another dealer and got an allocation in ~2 months.

IIRC back in late 2010 early 2011, I was toying with the idea of getting a used 997, and 4 year old CPOs were going for as low as low to mid 40k. Given a base price of ~$75k then, that was about 40% depreciation in just a few years. That seems about normal for a ‘luxury’ car. In hindsight, I...

Mine just departed port as well. I think it was SIEM Aristotle that was originally scheduled for Emden on the 25th but shows up as being on Emden on the 28th per public sources. Pretty excited! Hope it has a heater.

edit: posted without thinking but I suppose this is a hidden price increase. If you are dead set on a more uncommon color, you now have to pay up for PTS.

I have a XC90 right now which has a top down surround view (not this remote version) and I also find it hiding things in the camera. My garage is pretty tight, so the USS sensors are always a solid beep and showing red on the screen when I park, so I rely solely on the camera. I ended up...

Should be Baltimore. edit: TYD just showed it is released for transport! Fingers crossed it doesn’t get held up for a heater.

I am cautiously excited as my car just finished production and is scheduled to be released for 3/23, port departure on 3/29, US arrival by 4/14 and delivery on the 18th. My time sheet originally scheduled production completion on 3/10 with shipping on 3/17 so about a 2 week delay. That said my...

Between the terrible experience I had at my dealer (apparently I should count myself blessed to grovel and pay $20k to go on a waitlist and this is part of the Porsche experience), broken heaters and potential 6 month delays, and (maybe) fragile headlights….the rational part of me keeps thinking...

I didn‘t have my last ”fun“ car, a 2008 335 convertible, ppf’d (didn’t know what it was back then nor would I have been willing to splurge 6k on a wrap) but kept it clean with minimal effort using just detail spray and occasional rinse. That said I also only drove it in the summer so didn’t have...

I thought this was insightful. I doubt anything will come out of this in the next 5 years but maybe 10, 20-30 years down the line, Taycans might see some improved battery tech? Like how Porsche releases new infotainment for 997s and 996s...
