    2 minor annoyances

    I also see these messages regarding garage and, also, when I turn the car off I get a "Goodbye" message, which is somewhat useful and easier to ignore.

    Heads up display

    I'm very happy with the heads up display but there seems to be a smudge on the display ... or at least appears as such when looking through the display at the road. It's a little distracting and definitely not on on inside the window ... I'm thinking it's on the projector. Has anyone experience...

    Swapping wheels and tires?

    When you changed out the wheels, did you have Porsche do the work or just a regular tire shop?

    Swapping wheels and tires?

    Chalkrwd, thanks for the excellent suggestions. When my current tires wear out, I'm going to powder coat these wheels to more closely resemble the aero ones I prefer.

    Swapping wheels and tires?

    I recently purchased a base Taycan with basic 19-inch wheels. Some folks are after-market selling very low mileage sets of 19-inch Aero wheels+tires ("laser cut"). The Aero look lots better than the base wheel design so it's tempting to switch however I'm not sure what all would be involved...

    Additional dealer markups…??

    California retail grocery and other stores generally must charge the posted price (or declare the posted price a mistake). I've often wondered why MSRP prices posted on new car windows aren't similarly protected. At what point do dealers need to ID the fact that there is a dealer markup? In the...

    How many keys did you get with your taycan?

    One key on delivery ... about a week later picked up a second key but that mysteriously was missing the emergency key ... that came about another week later. Get everything now including 14-way seats but I don't believe the car has an electric steering column (but will double check).

    Removing rear seat headrests

    Couldn't figure out how to remove the rear headrests despite attempting to follow instructions (both printed and a video of a Cayanne having its headrests removed). Currently I just have the seats down. IMO the view via the mirror is considerably improved.

    Will you test drive the Mercedes EQS?

    Saw this car getting charged up just north of Santa Barbara ... had special dealer plates from Michigan ... very impressive looking in person. Large vehicle. Definitely makes a statement ... very Mercedes.

    Would it use the same functionality which allows it to pick up GPS signals? ... Limited cellular?

    Using keys to close windows

    I activated this and a few other features on a BMW 328i .... love the convenience of being able to adjust windows outside the car! Some enterprising programmer figured out the BMW codes and published it on the 'net.

    The Iconic 911 vs The (future-iconic) Taycan

    I have a 2003 911 HT which I love and have just over 1,000 mi. on my new Taycan. It may just be the cockpit but I do feel that the Taycan was designed with the 911 in mind. I agree with much of the posters' comments. I don't think he mentioned the incredible manner in which the Taycan holds the...

    Got a flat tire on your Taycan? Here's what to do

    Most folks would discover a tire issue while driving. I average about one flat tire/year in a good year. Is the consensus here that Taycans should carry both a spare and a jack at all times? Are there any particular recommendations for jacks -- this car is really heavy. Alternatively, is this...

    MY2023 US Price Increases

    I checked my recent configuration which went up $3K in 2023 ... it would have been more but they dropped their included wheel and made the 19" aero the default. So that was a deduction from would otherwise have been closer to $115K.

    Q re: pre-allocation and working with out-of-area dealers

    I noticed that some entrepreneurs are offering a list of Porsche dealers for $60-$75. Here's a free list of Porsche dealerships in the U.S. Don't know how up-to-date it is, but the number of dealers is about the same. https://www.autodealershipdirectory.com/directory/porsche/
