I have a '21 Taycan 4S Sedan. I love the car, but find its utility limiting with regard to the rear seat comfort for driving with friends (e.g., taking two adult friends who are both about 6' tall on trips to dinner or road trips) and for luggage space/hauling capacity. This means the car often...
We drove our 21 4S from Fort Lauderdale to Washington DC last spring with no problems. We had 5 charging stops, all on EA. All EA locations were at Walmart or Sam’s Club locations and generally within a couple of miles of I95. Having the chargers near stores was convenient as they have...
Based on your location, you may be referring to the Tyson’s location. My 4S has been there for over a week without being touched because they only have one technician. Now I will need to decide whether to pick up the car without getting the recalls and updates completed and reschedule or leave...
Thanks for that insight. My service advisor told me that one of their two qualified Taycan techs had recently left and that created the backlog. The same thing happened to me at Tysons for one of the earlier software updates/recalls that required a service visit. Again, I scheduled an...
I’m in DC, so close to MD. Purchased 4S from Tysons April 21. Have used them for service. Mostly underwhelmed. They seem to chronically have only one certified Taycan technician. Scheduling an appointment is easy, but meaningless as the car sits on their lot waiting to get into the service bay...
My post was for round trip. I checked our records since we have used the train three times so far this year.
In January we had two sleeper cabins plus a standard car and priority offloading for $1440. In hindsight that appears to have been a great deal. That trip was one way traveling north...
Finally getting around to posting about my experience on the first leg of our journey on the AutoTrain with the Taycan. We have taken the AutoTrain before, but that was with our BMW X5. I was a bit more nervous taking our 2021 Taycan 4S, but decided to give it a try.
Here are some...
Today is our trip from Lorton to Sanford. The incoming train was 2 hours late this morning, so check in for the outbound train was a mess. We waited 2 hours to get to check in. Temp today in Lorton 91F. Car was in eco mode for AC. Kept cabin comfortable with temp set at 70F. Used 6% of battery...
I have seen a few posts on the forum about members who have taken their Taycans on the Amtrak Autotrain between Lorton VA and Sanford Fl. I plan to take my Taycan 4S on the train this weekend. I am interested in any advice on prep of the car so that things go well and the car is is good shape...
I agree that Porsche already has the software/hardware to enable one-pedal driving. If you use the automatic regen setting (long press on the regen button on steering wheel) and the road conditions require it, you can get very aggressive regeneration similar to Tesla one-pedal driving (I also...
I’m glad you were able to get the car to service and are safe. Within days of purchase of my Model 3 Performance with low profile 20” wheels and tires I had a blowout due to a minor pothole on a highway near DC and was stuck for a few hours on the side of a very busy highway. Tesla roadside...
I recently left my 2021 4S in the garage unplugged and locked for a month. The SOC did not change. I was not comfortable leaving it plugged in. Did the same for our Model 3 Performance with Sentry Mode turned off and it only lost a couple of % SOC. The latter surprised me since Teslas seem to...
I have decided to sell my 2021 Taycan 4S. The exterior is Ice Grey and the interior is Chalk/Black leather. The car has about 3600 miles and was special ordered and delivered one year ago through Porsche Tysons Corner in the DC Metro area. The car has full body and front windshield Stek...
Car is getting good reviews and an independent 500 mile 70 mph range test. But if you read lucidowners.com you will see lots of complaints about missing features due to delayed software and software bugs. Overall the software issues sound worse than those for the Taycan, and that is saying...
We have a Tesla Model 3 Performance, but that does not meet your requirements. I think it is a great city car, less so for long distance travel. Based on reviews I have read the Mustang Mach E or the Kia Niro may be good options.
