Not gonna lie, if the e-tron GT RS was available today, I'd probably take that over the Turbo. It'll be cheaper, and I can jump the queue more likely at my Audi dealer. (Bought 2 R8's, RS4, a few S4's. etc). I like the hatchback more than the small trunk opening on the Taycan also. Plus...

I sure hope your Location isn't your password there in your user info... On topic, for a lot of dealers, they can't do the full delivery experience, due to COVID. I'm bummed, as I rather like the whole delivery thing, even if the salesperson is telling me a bunch of stuff I already know.

I think you are going to be better off following the e-tron GT if you are looking for a "budget" Taycan

That sorta thing would kill you in CA, as we get no credit on sales tax for the car being traded in. I can stomach lots of depreciation from flipping cars, but eating 9% sales tax every time hurts.

Dealerships want to get paid above all else, and therefore they won't do anything until they have confirmation they're going to get paid. How that confirmation is handled is all contractually agreed to. Of course dealerships can and do provide services as part of goodwill, but that's cost out...

Dealerships would instantly OK everything and add in anything else they can think of, they get fully paid for all the warranty work with no repercussions for anything approved. It's pure profit to take as much warranty work as they can find. Your dealer isn't going to do a single thing until...

Looks like my car is likely to get to the dealership tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday.

It's based on when you take delivery, as that's when you pay for it, and it becomes yours. You pay for the car, then claim the tax credit in the following year when you file taxes.

That's not really any different than any other car with online services, including other Porsches.

The OP's car is fully updated, and if it was just an update, they would've done that and handed him back his car. Which they haven't.

Waze. FTFY. :P

The e-tron GT is a 4S with Performance Battery Plus. With a better package (hatchback). It'll be at least $20k less than a similarly optioned 4S. For parallels you can compare the SQ5 and Macan GTS. There will be plenty of options the Porsche has that the Audi wont. (I'd bet PDCC will be...

I suspect for many here, that will be the case. They wanted an EV that happened to be a Porsche, not the other way around. I don't expect the "all my cars are EVs" crowd to stick around once there are other options. If I didn't get the Taycan, I would've bought a 992. Which is why I wish...

I don't disagree, but I also don't expect the Taycan to be radically different than other Porsches. Obviously the operational issues (12V, random errors on the dashboard etc) are unacceptable, but anything related to any app or updates or anything else is not something I'm particularly worried...

I wish the e-tron GT had shipped first and soaked up all the "want an nicer EV than the Model S" crowd.

I had the front of my last R8 done in a day, and didn't have problems. And that required them mega-stretching things to do the hood with 1 piece.

Correct.

In the US, almost all chargers have cables. The car and the charger negotiate whatever the most appropriate rate of charge is. You'll get the max charge the EVSE can supply up to whatever the car will take at a particular moment. So yes, you'll get 40A from a 40A charger.

19.2kW allows you to use any J-1772 100A (80A continuous) EVSE. No "mobile" or plug-in EVSE will go beyond 50A (40A continuous) by code. If you want 60A or 80A continous current, you'll need a hard-wired install. Once they don't force the super-expensive mobile charger, people will be more...

Waze is why I bought an iPhone to use CarPlay in my Macan. It's the only nav app needed.
