I should've quoted the previous poster I was replying to.

Not everyone buys an EV to tout their green cred.

I've used Carsen, er Redwood City for the Taycan and Macan service. Had 981 Boxster service at Stevens Creek once and I received the worst loaner car I've ever seen, a dirty (inside and out) 35000 mile Altima, as they just gave people rental cars then.

When you can get a Bolt for $27k here new, there no reason (other than luxury) to subsidize anything over $40k. Stuff is priced on what people pay, and having a $7500 credit just meant that companies increase MSRP to capture as much of that $7500 as they could. As soon as the credit went away...

Tesla gets $0 now in incentives, and is still selling. GM sold me a loaded Bolt for $32k with no incentives. EVs will do fine.

Which is all most people could afford anyway. We don't need to give big tax breaks to people buying expensive cars and trucks. Regulations and economics are going to drive everything to EVs. The ball is already rolling, and the only things holding it back are a lack of cars on lots, and lack...

I completely agree with it. Nobody buying a luxury $50k+ car should be getting a huge tax break. If the cut off is at 40k, then we’ll start getting a lot more under-40k BEVs.

The sill guards are silver by default, so you want to make sure they get optioned to be black. I'd consider the carbon sill guards if I did the carbon interior, but since I didn't, I left them black.

I think you absolutely want to see the entire interior before making the decision. This is an ask-your-salesperson situation to actually sit in one. I think the alcantara seating surfaces can be nice (I had a beautiful S4 Avant with alcantara interior), but you really want to see all the...

I actually use that as a touchpad just about every time I'm scrolling through menus and such. I'd rather not get fingerprints on the main screen, and it's easier to scroll without accidentally selecting something.

They're converting all those lanes to "Express Lanes" here, so you wont need the sticker, and you'll only pay 50% the toll if you are driving alone. :/

Man, I'm really glad I've had no bullshit from either my Porsche dealer or my main Audi dealer here. I can't imagine them trying any bullshit with most rich tech folk, as most of everything is done by email, and we can do math...

I would hope the gov't doesn't give Elon the money unless the Superchargers worked for any CCS vehicle that just drives up. I'd also hope that they require parity for all vehicles if the gov't is chipping in. (Basically the .eu situation)

You can just go into Battery in Settings and see if that's the case, instead of going by feel. I don't see how it'd be able to do much in the background on iOS though.

I can't even remember the last time I opened the Connect app.

Batteries are wired in parallel, so more cells = higher max current from them. Think of it like you have lots of 1 gal gas tanks, each with their own fuel line. For what the HP rating for a car is, marketing is a significant reason why things are they way they are. The CT4 and CT4S can have...

https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/i-ask-and-answer-why-wont-my-taycan-charge-as-fast-as-i-want-it-to.779/ Of course, there's other environmental and charge station things that could affect it, but there's a chart.

Plug and Charge is probably the only difference. There's some minor changes (the 2020's have an extra park sensor that 2021's don't) More important is if the loaner has the options you want. You could also go to autotrader.com and search around, because if you're going to go down the path of...

I made the mistake of taking a car off the lot at a discount when I bought my first R8. It was missing all sorts of stuff I really wanted, and it was easily the biggest mistake I've ever made buying a car. Unless the Taycan is your beater, and it's chump change to buy it, you should wait for...

Eventually cars with lots more batteries will be able to take more charge. The Taycan charging at 3C is pretty crazy, but if the car had twice as much battery, that'd be only 1.5C. So it's certainly feasible that future cars could take 350kW, given the 200kWH+ batteries talked about being in...
