    Am i going to regret a RWD Taycan purchase?

    I moved to the RWD from a 2003 911 non-turbo. I've very happy with the RWD. It's very quick off the line and, as someone mentioned, it really jumps once you are going 15-20 mph and hit the 'gas'. That said, I've never had occasion to floor the accelerator or use boost. No plans to go to a...

    RC Taycan available at Macy's

    I got mine from Macy's and … it wouldn't charge (not a joke). The mfg. is sending a replacement unit.

    2023 Taycan First Drive Review: Subtle Improvements [MotorTrend]

    Oh, OK ... so that's similar to turbo behavior on my MR2. I was thinking that you had to engage Sport mode manualy sort of like turning on/off Eco mode. Thanks for that info. I was really wondering about how this works in practice.

    2023 Taycan First Drive Review: Subtle Improvements [MotorTrend]

    Is it not a bit ironic that Porsche's 2023 solution to getting better range on it's more expensive models is to turn dual-motor Taycans into slightly-heavier and significantly more complex RWD Taycans (by default and under normal driving conditions)?

    Porsche Tracker Fob

    You're right; didn't think it through. I'm in the U.S. & don't believe we get trackers (could be wrong about this, too). I hid an Apple AirTag in my Taycan which hopefully would help should the car be stolen (unlikely anyway). Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    Porsche Tracker Fob

    I like this very much. Would it be possible to insert some material to protect the keyfob from being electronically intercepted?

    Schadenfreude

    Many have been humbled after learning the hard way that there's no such thing as "too smart to fail."

    Thinking of filing a claim under PCNA arbitration rules? Don’t Unless u r retired.

    I wonder if getting an arbitration settlement would be of interest to https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem#index which controls U.S. recall orders.

    Phone holders for the Taycan - what are you using?

    Copying a post from a similar discussion ... One option is to temporarily or permanently use one of the Taycan cupholder holes to magnetically hold (MagSafe) and potentially charge phone... Here's some info. on the 3dcreations product: Etsy page...

    Taycan owners - how happy with purchase?

    W/ only 5,000+ miles on my '21 RWD I'm still bracing for any of the problems written about on this forum. So far, no problems. I marked "very happy" rather than "exceeded" mainly because of the snafu related to the major system update rollout (long delays; horror stories) and the way Porsche...

    Good for Champion Porsche being the largest! The challenge comes in when other dealers make the same claim to potential customers either about Porsche cars in general or selling of particular models. Does size matter as long as the sales force works for their customer as well as their company...

    Nearly got stranded due to crappy EA charging ststem

    I'm thinking EA isn't particularly serious about providing adequate charging services through their stations for the ever-increasing number of electric vehicles. If I'm not mistaken, VW undertook EA as part of its settlement after being found cheating on diesel mileage some years ago. That's not...

    Nearly got stranded due to crappy EA charging ststem

    There are EA chargers in Santa Maria, CA which I hope you found (and I hope they worked). I toyed around w/ the idea of filming a couple of hours at the Pismo EA station ... just one problem after another for folks driving up in all kinds of electric vehicles. Meanwhile the 15-20 Tesla bays a...

    Interesting - Monterey Porsche has Fast Chargers

    Been in PG on a Saturday night when 1 of 5 EA (the 50Kw) was operational. Porsche is opening an outlet in San Luis Obispo. From the looks of it, chargers will be front and center.

    Another silly question...Is there an indication when the Ionizer is on?

    Another downside to spec'ing a panoramic roof?
