    New taycan Rwd vs 2021 turbo taycan

    All due respect to current owners, the advice you receive from any of us is likely to be biased. RWD owners will want to defend their choice, and the turbo owners will reciprocate. If there are sensible arguments offered, then I hope that will help in your decision. For me, it came down to...

    My 2022 Taycan 4S - 2 Years later

    I also have Neptune Blue, which for me was a no-brainer when I saw it. My 911 was gentian blue so didn't want to repeat that. I'm at 2 years + 5 months and 25K miles on my MY22 RWD. Replaced only the back tires so far. Apart from recalls and the 2 yr service, it hasn't needed anything else...

    Porsche Swag and Heater Fix

    I sent this post to my service guy as they installed the new heater. When I came back, he took me into the showroom and fitted me with a nice Porsche pullover and coffee mug, over $200 in merch. Thanks for the tip!

    New owner questions….

    It's interesting because none of these were considerations for me when sizing up the Taycan. We have a Model 3 already, but for me it's the driving experience that mattered most. We charge each car in our garage overnight so the issues around charging are largely irrelevant to us. And other...

    Taycan to a 911 Cab?

    I miss my 911S Cab ever day! They say there are 2 times you are happy as a boat owner:: The day you buy it and the day you sell it. A 911, on the other hand you will love every day you own it. But be careful, while you are sleeping, it's in the garage plotting to get you in serious trouble...

    Two year service

    ask them to explain that...maybe its an automated email or you need to change dealers.

    Funky Apple CarPlay

    something weird (and harmless, so far) happens nearly every time I drive this vehicle

    Electric Logo on Taycan

    why do SO many people care what other people think? I just don't get that. I need to think about this.

    Thoughts on grill badges?

    I don't care for a prestige badge but I did buy a magnetic oval sticker to show that I'm with the USCG auxiliary and I thought to put on my trunk when Im on official business. I was surprised there are no magnetic surfaces on the exterior of the car anywhere. What's with that?

    Do brake lights illuminate during auto-regen?

    I'll take your word for it, but someone could start a whole new thread on that debate (but it won't be me!). However I was driving an auto enthusiast in my 911 some time ago and when downshifting at a fairly high speed and he said "that's really not good for the engine." I said I did it to...

    Do brake lights illuminate during auto-regen?

    I would love to have it enabled permanently but I don't think I can do that in my vehicle...

    Do brake lights illuminate during auto-regen?

    When I had my 911S I'd often downshift when approaching traffic to slow the car. I was told this may not be good for the engine but it became a reflexive motion for me after a decade of driving the same car. The auto-regen has a similar feeling when it kicks in. I'm addicted to it.

    Do brake lights illuminate during auto-regen?

    I spent the past two years wondering about this but was afraid to post for fear I'd look like an idiot. I'm feeling exonerated now!

    Do brake lights illuminate during auto-regen?

    so….it depends! I feel a lot more knowledgeable now, though no more certain! I attended a funeral across country last year and the rental agency gave me a new Mercedes EV (not the economy car I ordered). After the ceremony we drove "caravan style" to a restaurant. It was a long drive down an...

    Do brake lights illuminate during auto-regen?

    I've been wondering about this for some time, like every time I get on the freeway these past 2 years. I use the auto-regen religiously and it does 90% of the work for me during bumper-to-bumper traffic. So I wonder, does the guy behind me realize I am slowing down?

    Something a bit more 911…

    I drove a similar (997 911S Cabriolet) for nearly 12 years and sold it for a bit less than what I paid originally. How many "six figure" cars can you drive 12 years for free? Only a 911!

    Porsche Taycan with Sound - What Do you Think ? 👍🏽👎🏽

    Might play well in Miami but not in the real world. Paying for noise makes no sense to me. YMMV.

    Will older models get the new push to pass upgrade?

    many of these options take the fun out of driving. I'll pass - pls forgive the pun.
