Likewise. I paid a $5k deposit on my CT4 build, which amounted to about 4% of the sale value. I ordered through a dealer I've never done business with before. My spec is pretty reasonable, and the only real sort of exotic choice I made depending on taste is the Cherry Metallic paint. Some of...

If money is of no concern, then get buckwild and order the Turbo S. If you're sensible with your money, the reality is even the 4S has a level of speed and performance you likely would never use and you can have it nicely equipped for a huge chunk of savings off the Turbo S. Between the two...

I personally like it on all my Porsche cars as a faster way to change the drive mode on your vehicle without being distracted by the screen when you're driving. Simple twist and done. It also adds sport+ driving mode. No going through a menu or anything. You can also get it with a cool...

I'm getting out of my 4S sedan and into a CT4 in a couple of months (assuming no setbacks), and after all the time with the 4S, I realized at least for my uses, the extra speed was hardly needed. Unless you plan to track your estate vehicle, you'll be none the wiser. I test drove a RWD Taycan...

Cosmetically it's going to be one beautiful ride. You have a few must haves for me like the PB+ and the chrono. I prefer the HGB trim, especially on the white. Do you plan to have a passenger with you regularly? If not, the extra screen is overkill. Even if so, make sure you're okay with...

I completely agree. Most folks would survive with a 100 mile range battery. My wife has a 2019 Cayenne E-Hybrid and maybe needs to refill every 6-8 weeks, and that with only 25ish miles of battery range. I would imagine long distance trips represent less than 1% of all EV trips. But that...

I think the difference is the PB+ isn't some luxury option like a nice leather seat, sport chrono, or adaptive cruise control. It's an option that increases the range and longevity in a vehicle subclass that consumers consistently say range is their biggest concern when buying an EV. Throw in...

Tough call. The current used car market makes buying a new car a much better prospect, but it's hard to say 3 or 4 years down the road. If you think used car values are gonna take a bath in two or three years, the lease might be a better prospect since you end up putting the risk on the...

This, a RWD Taycan in winter tires is better than an AWD car with summer or all seasons. Too many people get lulled into a sense of false security in winter conditions because their sedan has AWD. Proper tires really have a bigger impact than anything.

Buying a CT4 with a few tech goodies but only optioned to about 110k USD. My build was originally a dealer allocation that I just happened to inquire a few days before their original freeze date. Basically lucked into it and here we are.

Exact same thing just happened to me today. My order was done in August with a Sept 10 Production start date. Bumped to Sept 17 with mid Nov delivery. My Freeze date changed several times in TYD as well. From mid August, to late August, to today 9/1. Hopefully that's it as far as delays...

Passing times are faster, which has more real world practicality. I also believe the PB+ charges a bit faster on fast charging stations. That might mean a lot or nothing to you. If you plan to travel in it, that's important, as is the added range since depending on where you live, the...

I think this website and many of the posters here have highlighted pretty well that a lot of folks are in the market for a stylish EV that has more polish than the closest competitor. Just the Taycan sales alone demonstrate that, and many of them are first time Porsche owners. A RWD Taycan...

Big true. Anything over 100kw in a Tesla last for just a minute or two, and it drops off from there.

I use a G-Tech meter that'll give you 0-60, 100, and quarter mile times. It's always from a standstill in launch control. Rolling starts are usually quite a bit slower.

Exactly. There's definitely great uses for autonomous cars. I imagine wanting to take a road trip and just starting out at night, sleeping in the car, and waking up at your destination. I think this sort of autonomy is still a long way off, but I don't doubt I see it in my lifetime. Even...

Hmm, somehow I don't think your anecdote disproves decades of Porsche under reporting performance numbers. This is pretty common knowledge. Was that will launch control? Youtube is just littered with Porsche videos from all models consistently beating their 0-60 speeds. Often these are...

Completely agree. The real advantage to me is having another network of fast chargers for road trips that are much more reliable than EA is right now. They're often in similar locations or just a short distance apart, so if the EA charger is down, instead of praying you can make it to the next...

I'm trying to find the youtube video I recently watched which showed it doing the time in 4.7, but for the life of me can't locate it. Definitely faster than Porsche lets on, like all their cars.

I'm skeptical as well, but I would imagine he will pass the cost onto prospective users and not overhaul his entire charging network if it's possible. Tesla will either sell an adaptor of their own, or verified 3rd parties will, similar to the Teslatap. I imagine in the beginning, they will be...
