If I may add a simple thing with my legal background : I'm not a lawyer, but I've seen and negotiated many business contracts in the semiconductor industry (working/leading business lawyers).
Some types of laws can supercede any contracts, insurances, T&C (terms & conditions) of a company (in...
right, Porsche dealer showed me they bought back my Taycan Turbo 95K€ (from 180K€ new), did ~5K€ of minor repairs on it (it looks new), selling it for 74K€ incl. 3Y PA warranty.
ie lost 60% of its value already (or 65% if you count 3Y PA as a 5K€ cost)
So I know I'll still loose a bit when...
All Taycans 2020-2024 can, and should, have the same level of PCM software (v3885 I think), a 2020 / 2021 models won't have more or less problems statistically.
Definitely "Satin Platinum" look the classiest for me, otherwise it's too "sad" to my taste.
Indigo blue is cool in itself but not great with grey, unless you'd have very light color leather seats ?
I agree with all the replies here, I'd just add that from commercial point of view they way they are treating you while you're not even a customer is "not good".
Imagine how they'll treat you after you bought the car and you are "tied" to them ?
So my advice as former Sales Exec (semiconductor)...
Sergey has definitely more experience than me, but I don't believe either 100% is possible for the reasons already mentioned.
1) A new vehicle doesn't have 100%, it's going to be 99ish - but let's assume the 5% margin of error makes it 95% it would still be very weird.
2) On a 5Y old car it's...
Not sure what your full story is but if you intend to resell your vehicle, it definitely sells better when it's been under Porsche Approved warranty its whole life (at least the market in France is like that).
Other older/experienced forum members may have a different opinion, I'm just giving a...
I agree, I drove Nov'24 Macan (~120K€), and also a Q6 Etron (~125K€) for half a day, the Q6 is a better choice.
But I'd definitely choose the Mercedes GLC hybrid (2023-2025 model 127km WLTP) for 115K€ which is the "not far from perfect" choice for me.
I never drove a 911 but a lot of "normal" cars, then I went down the Porsche path almost accidentally, because a friend told me about the huge depreciation of Taycans (I'm in France), combined to leaving my old company it was the right time for me to buy my 1st car, at 52YO lol (I had company...
Hey again Nina :)
I think if you translate in English the word doc I attached earlier, to show your dealer that it's definitely not only possible, but mandatory, proven by many members on this forum, including me very recently then it should do the trick.
I'm in France so it's Porsche Center...
I think it's what happened, I'll ask when I pickup the car but pretty sure they won't exactly say what they did, except for this "expert" guy taking care of it - I'd have to talk to him to know what he did - I'll try, I'm curious :)
Hi there, correct, it's bullshit,
Summary of what I learnt in this forum & a few elsewhere :
All Taycans 2020-2024 are able to get their PCM at least to v3882.
Version 4360 was shipped with MY25 Taycan (also called J1.2 here), it is unclear at this time if it will be possible to update our J1.1...
it would, also allowing them to automatize more of the production, but maybe they like to keep doing it "hand-made, one by one".
I liked having "everything" in my Xpeng G9 (slightly better than Tesla, after driving it 1Y), just 3 options to select (car model, color, tow hitch).
Perfect...
thanks for your feedback, i hope it works out for you on InnoDrive, it's mentionned in the package they sold you so they should be sorting out I suppose ?
thanks!
Nice, for 2,5K€ adding ACC & Innodrive it's a good deal.
I contacted them to see if they either have a French partner, or can do it in Bristol within 1 day.
Biggest concern being anyhow whether it voids a PA warranty or not, and if the modification is linked to your VIN so that OTA or...
Bravo for this incredible work !!!
Your statement " Porsche explicitly supports retrofits. Factory documentation references retrofit procedures and the steps required to bring added components online. Vehicle configuration data is updated and stored in Porsche’s system so that future software...
