I have '23 CT4S. Middle of the road spec. Wrapped it in matte purple (my wife's favorite color). Highly doubt we will use up all 39K miles contracted.. Given how these cars have been depreciating, I question whether CPOs will be cheaper than residuals. What is the strategy for buying out the car...
I have about two more years of free charging according to my app. The usual spots I go to started requiring EA membership or a credit card to charge. Seems like it started happening after the last visit to the dealer. Anyone seen this before?
I broke off this stupid thing. I don't know how; just know that the passenger side port is now very hard to open and shows an error.
What is it called? I need to go to Suncoast or wherever and get a replacement ASAP.
I have all the hardware in my car required to do an adaptive matrix Euro setting, but the dealer doesn't feel comfortable doing it. Anyone successfully either themselves or gotten someone else to change settings with PIWIS?
Gen1 Taycan in question.
On my '23 CT4S, comfort access is kind of useless. At home, I have programmed the speedbump mode so that when I pull into the garage, the suspension is at the highest setting.
I was at Porsche Experience event this week and saw '25 Turbo with that comfort access feature where car jump up when...
So, around us, there are many tiny chipmunks and red squirrels. They get into small spaces and eat and poop there. Several years back, I did not catch that activity in time, and XC90 almost caught in flames as they started chewing on hi-voltage insulation. That was a pricey repair.
Is anyone...
I get an "Egress Warner not available" warning every time I start the car. However, the lane change sensors seem to be fine, and while parking, everything is fine, too. Trying to see if I can figure this out myself before I have to carve out several hours of my busy days to go to the dealer.
I...
Finding just the right vinyl material took a bit of time to get the purple and sheen my wife wanted. But here you go:
KPMF Matte Purple Black Iridescent Vinyl Wrap | K75565
I got the car wrapped and LOVE it. Super attention to detail. One problem, though - I get this error every time I start the car - "Egress Warner not available"
This shop has done Taycans before (including for the Porsche Dealer down the street). Wrap guy said "it goes away". Not seeing anything...
When I had 987S, I had a collapsible spare that made me worry less. Is there one that would fit CT4S with standard brakes? Does anyone have one?
What size and does it fit in the trunk?
So, unfortunately, I had to use the Porsche Tire Sealing Kit, which was frankly as thin as milk (brand new car - brand new bottle) and was useless. Not spending $100 for tire milk. Slime brand is $10 and allegedly TPMS safe. Used it on my bikes, other cars in emergency, tractors, etc. Has anyone...
Really bummed out. I found a friendly tech willing to go into PIWIS and try to enable the Euro Matrix light option. He has done that for other Porsches. I was 1st Taycan owner asking for it. He tried to enable them, but PIWIS would not let him. Bummed.
I am really unhappy with the angle of the...
Like an idiot, I did not consider getting tire insurance. 1st week, my wife scuffed a wheel. Next week, I scuffed one on the other side.
And not even 1K miles yet on the car, hit a damn pothole, and ended up on a flatbed. I think the rim is fine, but the tire needs to be replaced.
Even before...
The love of my life is still learning the dimensions of her new CT4S :-( Two scuffed rims in one week of ownership. Curbes in New England are brutal. Our crubs here are granite, not concrete. So they are 90 degree, not at an angle where if you get too close, it just rubs your tire.
Short of...
Trying to decide, given the end goal is to keep the car anyway, if I take the lease and $7500 rebate but pay the effective APR that is ~2% higher on the depreciation and then buy at residual or skip the lease, possibly be in the 6s or 7s APR and just finance.
There is also a gamble if the CT4S...
So, as I finally found a dealer with build spot (it just happens to be one I bought Cayman from when I was... younger) about 800 miles from my home, yes there is a freeze on the spots, but when he says he is giving me the 1st spot he gets, I have zero reason to not trust him.
Here is a fun bit...
We put in a deposit on a build spot for CT. Told it would take about 18 months to deliver.

1. 100% set on getting RAS, but I'm not so sure about the need for PTV+. I have no plans to track the car, I have done 7 years of that with 987S and...
