    Cross Turismo vs Sport Turismo

    Yup, I'm aware. Probably didn't word it as well as I should have, but basically you end up sitting an inch lower on the sedans suspension.

    Service contract question

    My dealer quoted me $770 on my CT4 purchase last week for the 2 year service, and there wasn't even an option on the 4 year. I said no because I bought out of town and my local dealer is even cheaper for the 2 year Taycan service. I think they flush the breaks and replace the bottle of...

    Taycan RWD Acceleration without Launch Control

    I agree. I love my CT, that little bit of added practicality and ride height make all the difference.

    Range change

    Was your car using navigation? The top speed will change if you are using navigation, I guess it figures you can push the car harder and still make it to your destination. Similarly it will lower the max speed if you're cutting it close.

    Which EV-related stocks have you invested in?

    I hold a decent chunk of Tesla stock. Ironically, it helped me pay for my recent Taycan purchase.

    Trip Report: Dallas to Austin

    So much this. When I road tripped my car from Plano to El Paso last week, I stopped for roughly 5-10 minutes each stop. Coming from previous Tesla road trips where I was used to sitting around for half an hour or more, I sometimes couldn't believe it. Then you realize it's charging faster and...

    Anyone changing order to a GTS and/or Sport Turismo?

    Tough call. I feel like the CT adds that much extra practicality to the vehicle over the ST, and in my dumb opinion looks better. I would imagine living in rural Scotland provides a lot more opportunities for the CT to shine over the ST. TBH I feel like a lot of the ST hype is just because...

    Taycan RWD Acceleration without Launch Control

    If you're mostly driving a X5 45e on battery only, any version of the Taycan is going to feel downright quick. I switched from a 4S sedan to a CT4, and don't miss the power difference at all. The CT4 is my daily driver and it has excellent passing power, and still is faster than 99% of ICE...

    Delivered: Cherry Taycan 4 Cross Turismo CT4

    Yeah Arena Red to me is just different shades of purple. It is a lot more pigmented and even in the light looks purple to me. I wish I had taken a photo at cars and coffee this past weekend of my car next to an older Arena Red turbo 911. The Arena Red even in the bright West Texas sun looked...

    Delivered: Cherry Taycan 4 Cross Turismo CT4

    I would have never considered the color until I saw it in the flesh on a Targa. Just surreal how much the color changes depending on lighting. I've had 3 people wave me down on the road just to tell me how beautiful it was and my Ceramic coating guy said it was probably one of his favorite...

    Looking for CT4 or 4s

    It starts closest to you and then will go nationwide.

    So who's changing their order to the GTS Sport Turismo?

    You summed up my feelings nicely. I feel like the ST just is a whole lot of one color with not much to break up the color profile on a very large vehicle, which I think the CT does nicely. The black arches aren't to everyone's taste, and I get that, but for me I find the CT to be a bit more...

    Options more expensive than the $460 400V/150 kW charging option…honestly wow…

    Yeah it does. Not a huge deal since it's part of the package deal and you might actually like it. Some love it, some never use it again.

    Cross Turismo vs Sport Turismo

    Barely notice it since I'm not overly aggressive. The instant torque is still there so it "feels" fast (and it is), it's quicker than a RWD Taycan which I tested to see how much I would miss the 4S. It still scares the shit out of my wife when I floor it and makes my 6 year old happy at the...

    Options more expensive than the $460 400V/150 kW charging option…honestly wow…

    It makes weird external EV noises similar to what the sport sound pipes in. I'm coming from a 4S with sport sound to a CT4 without it, and the first thing I noticed was the weird EV noises the car still makes when driving at lower speeds. My 4S was an early build and I don't think it was...

    Activating Porsche Charging Service

    As mentioned in my OP. My credit card is listed.

    Activating Porsche Charging Service

    Yup. It requires a Porsche charging contract to be active which as I stated, I am unable to activate.

    Cross Turismo vs Sport Turismo

    Yup. Actually jumped from a 4S Sedan to the CT4 last week. I got out of a 718 Boxster S before I had the Taycan. Definitely don't miss the ICE. I had a Model S before my 718, and it was a huge adjustment going back to the gas station. Switching to the Taycan was just natural.

    MSRP Dealers (selling Taycan with no price mark-up)

    Every dealer does business their own way and several are owned by larger auto groups. They will each have their own deposit requirements. If an allocation is available, the deposit is usually non-refundable. If they just have a waiting list on a future allocation, some require a refundable...
