No, it's a boat. The Taycan is already too big.

Each dealer has to pay to send at least 1 tech for training. How many they send will be based on how many cars they think they're going to be servicing (and they make money servicing). It's entirely possible a smaller dealer would only have 1 tech certified for a new model that they don't have...

Are you using a USB-C stick, or an A to C adapter? If you are using an adapter, try flipping around things.

I noticed that the other day also (as I actually charged at work... got to visit the office last week!). Since the car finished charging, the little button didn't have any light on, and I could just pull the plug out without pushing the button first. Next to find out if it's possible to do...

No, the minimalist Model 3 is absolutely done as a cost cutting measure. Everything is just cheap. You don't put lane change assist in the center (and only) display unless you are trying to save money. If they can do it with the installed cameras and the central MCU (as in with...

I'd hope there's not much excitement on a modern Porsche forum for an overpriced pleather-clad transportation appliance. :P That said, I do own a Bolt, and it's a hoot (and with good tires, I bet it's even better), but a fully-loaded new one cost us $31k last year. Cheap price to match the...

If I hadn't bought a Taycan, the Macan EV would surely be my next car.

It has lots of performance, and that's it. In that price range it's missing lots of luxury features. Even the lane change assist isn't where it belongs. Everything in it is just cheap. I'd take an Audi interior any day for that kind of money. I'd rather have a Golf R than a Model 3. Once...

It was 117F (47C) when I was there last week. Doubt AC would have trouble, as not having to remove moisture from the air makes AC a lot more efficient

Make sure that any charger (EVSE) you order with your car has the NEMA 14-50 plug. It's a free option. Though if you have the choice, don't bother with any of the Porsche chargers.

Emailed my salesperson at the dealer once they had the demo car. Drove it, and put down deposit. Worked with him on options (he was really helpful providing specific answers). They said it'd take a year for me to get allocation (Bay Area), but covid happened, and enough people cancelled...

Any open recalls would be done in port before going to the dealer.

Everybody needs to wait until the actual recall happens in August, and then you can see if your car's VIN is in the list...

Having made the mistake of taking a deal off a lot instead of ordering what I wanted on my first R8, I'd suggest ordering what you really want if you have any preference at all. Like others said though, the Turbo is a lot of fun, and comes with lots of stuff standard that is optional in the 4S...

No way I’d take only 15% off for a 2 year old car

You should be able to sit in a Taycan with and without the upgraded interior options to see the difference.

In the US, it's unlikely you'll ever run across a 400V CCS charger that's more than 50kW. I got the option because it was cheap, but I doubt I'll ever use it. If you are budget constrained you can skip it, unless you really, really think that Tesla Superchargers will suddenly start working...

It'll still have the same battery warranty, so like everything else on the car, as long as the warranty is ok, you're good. Likely not a lot of high speed charging, because doubt a dealer would have a DC charger, and even if they did, it's probably 50kW at best.

Just keep driving it around. If you bought it used, it’s based on how the previous owner drove it. Also the range remaining changes based on what mode you are in.

poor car :(
