If I wanted the chevy or toyota experience I'd be in one of those fine cars

I guess you missed the line where he has already identified cars that I'd be interested in.

I received this today, I think it is a bit aggressive on their part. I noticed you were coming in for service this week and I wanted to reach out to you before you came in. As the Service Liaison for Porsche Jacksonville, I periodically review our client accounts to keep them up to date, we...

could that be because of your government's large subsidies offered when buying an EV?

I have a Jaguar Ipace, the car has a great ride, decent acceleration and for us is properly sized. for 2022 jag only sells the top spec model in the US and they seem to have ironed out the issues found in the earlier models. the range is similar to the taycan, 230-250 miles, but the bugaboo is...

I find it very hard to buy the 300 mile range @70 mph. on a recent trip, running between 70 and 77 MPH, I barely eked out 200+ miles consumption was between 3.1 and 3.4 mile per kwh. at 125 mph you will consume far more and go far less. when road tripping there is a balance you need to have...

one issue that the new labeling might solve is making easier to ID what level the charger is before pulling into the slot. I find it challenging to see what level the unit is from just driving by the units

these upgrades are a good thing, however EA needs to up their game in keeping the current units operational. I know of one location in FL where 3 of the four units have been inoperable for over a year. in addition to keeping things up and running there needs to be a significant expansion of...

your service advisor is full of it, EVs, and cars as a whole are quite dependent on tech, and the tech is as important as a timing chain. if the tech fails, the car fails. so the priorities need to be moved towards getting the tech right. I think that the taycan wasn't ready but porsche felt a...

I did not make promises that could not be kept. Porsche has a history of pushing cars out the door that were not properly built. at least the taycan issues aren't fatal like some of the boxsters and 911s were. the issues, and tesla did the same, are issuing promises of features that cannot be...

a welcomed upgrade, now there could be some education offered for the new EV owners on which level that should be using.

it sounds like porsche and some other EV manufacturers need to expend the time and expense to properly train more techs for the cars they are selling.

it isn't just a porsche issue. I was in St. Pete FL and had a problem with my jaguar Ipace. the local dealership didn't have a tech, he sent me to a dealership in clearwater where he knew they had a tech because they hired him away, he was to start the week after I was there. I made the 20 or so...

if you count the time from my initial appointment to my actual appointment next week it will be at least eight weeks+

AFAIK MB is doing better, I cannot comment on BMW

tesla certainly did have their issues, they had contact issues that affected most early cars and then most 2012-13 car's drive units had to be replaced but they made those repairs quickly. in fact when my contacts were failing I was on my way to the airport, they sent a crew to the airport to...

while porsche taycans are selling at numbers comparable to their flagship cars their service centers have 10 techs for those legacy cars for every 1 qualified tech for their hot selling EV

interesting considering that FL and GA have many, many EVs and the last I checked they are on the east coast

I agree with many of the points made by the OP. I came to the taycan from being an OG tesla owner, I owned 2 model S and a model 3 and I too have a severe dislike for elon and his con man acts. the software OTA updates that porsche promised has gone unfulfilled. having to bring the car in for...

some of it has to do with the affluence of the community. where I live teslas are very common and on a recent drive around the area close to me I saw 4 other taycans, only one was a turismo.
