Because software is hard, and there's a lot of brand new software on a Taycan.

Supposedly, due to regenerative braking, the service brakes wear so gradually that the cast iron ones last 100k miles or more, and PSCB and PCCB may last the life of the car. The Taycan hasn't been around long enough for anyone to know for sure, but that's the experience that Teslas and other...

RAS does in fact operate at higher speeds. Below about 50km/h, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction of the fronts; above 50km/h, they turn in the same direction. https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/products/taycan/chassis-18561.html This option is not for future-proofing ("super fast...

I'm impressed by how linear everything is. Should make in-car range predictions extremely accurate, which is particularly important for long-distance travel (where you want to pull into an EA fast charging station with as little remaining charge as possible).

Any particular ways to guard against staining, or to remove them if they happen? Or just plain old leather cleaner and conditioner?

As far as I can tell, the PBP counts the same as any other option. It may, and I suspect does, affect how much the dealer is able to sell the car for once you've turned it in at the end of your lease. But that's just sort of averaged in to the residual they give you. (From what I can tell it's...

Every day I get different numbers from TYD, and it's not even consistent with itself. The main landing page says my build has been scheduled, whereas the detail page says it won't be scheduled until July and the actual current stage is simply "order received."

Have an electrician come out and give you some quotes. I think the options you want to ask him to cover are: NEMA 14-50 outlet. You can use the Porsche charger, or you can add a wall-mounted EVSE that plugs into the outlet. Hardwire a wall-mounted EVSE. Either option is just fine for charging...

It seems pretty arbitrary. Look around this forum and these threads and you'll see two people order their cars at the same time, and one arrives a week early while the other sits in port for a month. They aren't installing 14-way seats in port, and both cars have TPMS sensors, so...

Just got my TYD email today. Signed the papers on the 4th, predicting an August 13th delivery. I don't believe it; we'll see.

BMW and I have been moving in different directions for a while now. They've been making their cars more comfortable, which is fine, except they are making them numb at the same time. It's not just the steering, it's the handling and acceleration too. Don't get me wrong: they are still extremely...

Try a different dealer. Porsche Naples may have something, and they're not too far from you.

My assumption has always been that they design for the "normal" person, whereas I am an un-gorilla (short arms and legs, long torso).

It's also unbearable in any other vehicle, FWIW.

I was actually shocked by how much better the turning radius was than my 550i, which is essentially the exact same size as the Taycan. I was able to do a U-turn on a narrow two-lane road just borrowing about 2 feet from somebody's driveway. With my current car, I wouldn't have even bothered --...

I've wanted a HUD ever since I learned it was a thing, and despite having gone through a couple cars since then, I never got it. Either bought a car off the lot that didn't have it, or decided to put the money into different options instead. Since this is basically my YOLO car, this time I'm...

Yes, typically you'll want a heat alarm rather than a smoke detector in a garage. But there's nothing special about it beyond that. It's the same as you might have in your attic. You probably don't want a smoke detector in any room that's not weather-tight, even if you're not parking an ICE...

You guys are too fast! I PM'ed Alex but you beat me to it!

Perhaps that's a subject for a different thread. But of all the dealers in my area, either they haven't got allocations and therefore can't help me, or they have allocations but only seem to want to sell me cars they have on their lots.

What I want is a 4S with all the performance boxes ticked. That's really hard to find in the US. The dealers want to keep the MSRP right at around 130-135k and consider the premium package and battery "must haves," which doesn't give them room to add much more. Usually when they decide to go...
