As I've previously described, my transmission failed at a particularly inopportune time while I was driving on the highway in traffic at a high rate of speed. It failed at 23k miles and exactly 4 years and 14 days from my in service date. The repair bill just came back... $45,000. As I had...

Was on the road today doing about 75MPH in Sport Plus when I felt the car abruptly lose power - like I had slammed on the brakes - and it immediately dropped down to about 55 MPH. Car felt "boggy" and got a big CLUNK from the back, which I knew to be the transmission, but which felt a little...

I just bought a set of 21"s in Exclusive Design and will likely replace my existing 20" Turbo Aero rims on my 4S in the very near term. Just gauging interest at $1000k for the set plus shipping. They're in excellent condition - I had some minor curb rash on the driver's side front rim that was...

Was listening to the Smoking Tire podcast today, and the host mentioned that he would be in Europe for the "Taycan [muffled sound muffled sound]" and then added "a Taycan worth going to Europe for wink wink" following which the Car and Driver Editor in Chief (who was his guest) said "that's in...

Of course the new configurator now allows you to put Mission Es on a Taycan 4S without having to upgrade the brakes. Typical Porsche money grab.

If this were local, I'd probably take a close look at it, despite that my wife would likely divorce me. It's one of my favorite colors. Just noting in case anyone else is interested in a relatively rare PTS at what appears to be a reasonable price. 2022 Ruby Star Taycan 4S

This was my first HPDE, which was put on by Porsche Club - Hill Country and Porsche Club - Maverick - taking place over 2 days (yesterday and today) at Circuit of the Americas. All were invited as they're not exclusive to PCA, so there were a good number of BMWs, McLarens, Corvettes, a Lotus...

Was just over at the Porsche SXSW display for this year, and they had a very interesting Taycan VR simulator that supposedly measured your vital signs relative to the audio stimulus provided. It was a full Taycan setup as far as drivers and passenger seats with fake accelerator and brake pedal...

For whatever reason no matter what I do to the seat ventilation fan setting or the air recirculation settings, they revert back to their default settings whenever I turn the car off. Does anyone know how to save them permanently? For example, the A/C temp stays consistent no matter what, but...

Was looking at this picture on the MyPorsche page, and the first thing I thought was: "Who is this monster and what must be doing to those side bolsters? Those creases will never come out. "

Apologies if this has been covered, but I did a search and didn't see anything. I have the standard interior, which has pleather on the outer parts of the seat bolsters. It looks fine, feels fine, I don't hate it. I'm wondering if anyone who has the standard interior can weigh in on how those...

A couple of photos from the SXSW exhibit here in Austin (open to the public).

My 4S is in Emden and TYD has it scheduled to be put on a ship destined for Houston by 1/21 with delivery to Austin by March 4th. No vessel name yet. Just starting up a March 2022 delivery thread as I hadn't seen one started yet.

Had an early December lock date and delivery is scheduled for early March ; build should be done next week - but I haven’t heard a single thing from Porsche corporate (as opposed to my local dealer). I was told I should expect a bunch of emails, but nothing so far. SA hasn’t responded to my...

I put a $5k deposit down with the local dealership. Salesperson accepted it and sent a receipt and then later realized that my Porsche Code/order was for a 4S instead of a base Taycan (which we had initially discussed). They then told me that changing to the 4S would move the lock date back...
