    2022 Taycan options. Lock date soon! Opinion Welcome!

    Very nice spec. Front heat seating comes as standard and the premium package will give you cooled/ventilated seats, do you mean rear heat seating? Unless you have tons of rear passengers, might be wasted money. The sport sound is pretty cool, but I left it off my CT4 build after having it on...

    Taycan Cross Turismo 4 or 4S

    I am coming from a 4S Taycan, and jumping down to the CT4. I realized in my day to day, all the extra power was just overkill. I've probably used launch control less than 10 times, and always to impress passengers curious with the car. Otherwise, it's a great daily drive and great handling...

    Discount off custom build

    Yeah, don't think huge discounts are available right now. Dealer's are lucky to have any new stock as it is, and it's been my experience talking with several Texas, NM, and Arizona dealers that most of their inventory gets sold off before it even hits the lot. My local Porsche dealer has 3 new...

    Which model to get?

    Yup to each their own. One person's must have is low priority for another. I'm a leftie as well but prefer the thicker GT wheel. After learning to drive a stick as a teenager with my non dominant hand, not much can phase me when it comes to driving dynamics.

    Warranty Moving a Porsche Overseas

    Sort of a weird question I'm wondering if anyone has experience with. I have a job opportunity that would have me moving abroad(not sure where), and one of the perks of the job is that they will ship any car for me overseas and handle the local registration issues. I'm wondering if I did...

    Free Charging Sessions Today via Electrify America

    I sort of feel like the more remote the charger, the less it gets used, and the less likely they are to know an error is happening. EV road trips in non-tesla models are still a pretty rare. When I would road trip a Tesla across Texas or to California, it would be uncommon to not have another...

    Which model to get?

    A basic Taycan is still a fun car to drive and quicker than most cars on the road. The convenience of switching driving modes on the wheel (which is also an upgraded GT steering wheel with the chrono), make it a worthwhile feature. I don't really like bouncing through menus to switch the mode...

    Placed order today, yeah!

    If you're an audiophile probably. I have been really pleased with the Bose systems in all my Porsche models. I listen mostly to National Public Radio in my commute, so a Burmester would be overkill for me. I rode in a Panamera with it fairly recently and it sounded great, just not worth the...

    Free Charging Sessions Today via Electrify America

    You're the second person to comment on the quality of charger in that part of the world. Another poster tried taking his newly delivered CT4S from Colorado to North Carolina and got stone walled in Eastern Colorado and Kansas. Also having to turn around. I really hope Elon is true to his...

    Change before Freeze point and potential delay

    My TYD tracker has also been acting funny toward the end of August. Original freeze date was 8/27. Got pushed to 9/1 and build was pushed a week to 9/17. The freeze date came and went without issue. Then yesterday the tracker said freeze date was 9/2 and order date was 9/3. Not sure what is...

    taycan not selling well??

    Yeah the exterior color doesn't bother me so much, I wouldn't get it up I think it's cool. Just that combined with the interior makes me think someone ordered that bad boy then backed out.

    taycan not selling well??

    https://www.porschenorthscottsdale.com/new-Phoenix-2021-Porsche-Taycan-RWD-WP0AA2Y1XMSA18044 This immediately came to mind. If you're in the market for a RWD and also have a cosmetics business, this is the Taycan for you.

    Ordered CT albeit with some trepidation- How prevalent are the electrical fault issues?

    Hard to say. Considering your build is a newer model year, it might not have any issues or it might have new ones older models don't have. You will find people here and on social media with battery failure, and many more that have had their cars from the beginning without an issue. I've had...

    336 Miles at 100%!

    Good point. I guess publishing worst case scenario ranges is probably a good thing vs being overly optimistic. Don't get me started on FSD, from the beginning it sounded like BS. When a friend bought his Model 3 in early 2019, the Tesla website said "full autonomy expected in late 2019". It...

    Porsche Taycan Configurator Online. Share Your Build!

    Beautiful build. I too am waiting for a Cherry Metallic Taycan, a CT4, due to be built this month for a November delivery. Like you my schedule was pushed back earlier this week. It's funny you mention the Targa. Seeing one in that color, and having a Cherry Panamera pass me on the highway...

    336 Miles at 100%!

    Porsche range manager is pretty junky. It's gotten better but I still stick with ABRP for longer trips. I absolutely agree it's better to over-deliver, and having owned a Model S and X myself, I likewise never even knocked close to their rated ranges. In the case of Porsche though, the...

    336 Miles at 100%!

    Thankfully snow is rare in the Southwest. Porsche is notorious for under promise and over-deliver, but I don't think EV range is an area where they should be doing this. I could see if they're off target by 10%, solid bonus, but beating EPA ranges by 40 or 50% is just nuts. Considering...

    336 Miles at 100%!

    Not surprising. My 4S typically shows around 290 miles. I commute it on an uninterrupted stretch of interstate with the cruise control set at 78mph in range mode. That's even with summer temps hitting 105 degrees so you know that AC is working. Even when I have road tripped it, it is true...

    taycan not selling well??

    No? It's one of the brands best selling products. Look at most dealerships around the country, and they're lucky if they have 10 of any model on the lot. A lot of times if a dealer allocation is coming in, it'll show up as an "incoming vehicle" and often is sold weeks before it hits lot...

    Which options to get?!

    A lot of this is personal choice and what you might need it for. Which Taycan are you ordering? PTV Plus to me is one of those things that's only worthwhile if you're very aggressive with the driving of your vehicle on a frequent basis. The car handles great without it. Something like the...
