Well, I am sad to say that I'm stepping off the EV bus when my Taycan extended warranty expires in October of next year. I will most likely get a Panamera Turbo S hybrid. My last roadtrip sealed the deal. 20 deg F temperatures and a 250 mi trip from Cincinnati to Cleveland. Put my...

Pictures of my damaged brake rotor. The shop believes something impacted the rotor and caused the large chip. Anyone seen anything like this? Replacement takes 3 weeks due to ordering the part from Germany. Cost of a single rotor replacement... Wait for it... $9,000. o_O

I love Porsches, and I've been racing them for over 20 years. But if you think about why Porsche has been the ultimate (OK, maybe Ferrari here) performance car for so long, it's a combination of two things. Engine and Chassis. I would say that in terms of performance and durability, the...

There have been a lot of discussions on the accuracy of Porsche's 'estimated range' and I'd like to provide a bit of discussion and data on my recent experiences. I had my battery replaced in August :rock:, and have been tracking various parameters using the iCar Pro OBD reader. I've been...

I know this is highly subjective, but I just can't get over the styling 'refresh', and why Porsche felt the need to ruin the styling of what I think is the most beautiful sedan on the road today. They could have taken a page from the Tesla book and not done anything to the 'styling', and...

With 40K+ miles on my 2020 Turbo S I've been hearing a progressively worse 'crunching' sound from my drivers side front suspension. It's become quite noticeable when going over a smooth curb that forces significant front suspension travel. I've just taken my car in for the brake recall and...

Looks like VW/Audi/Porsche are struggling with EV sales and profits. WSJ today.

There have been a number of threads with good discussions on the merits/disadvantages of EV's vs ICE/Hybrid cars, and I thought it would be interesting to dedicate a thread to the advantages/disadvantages of EV's compared to Plug-in Hybrids (PHEV's). We're seeing a 'pendulum shift' that is...

Puts my experience, and quite a few folks on this forum into perspective. https://www.whatcar.com/news/reliability-survey-most-reliable-electric-cars/n26158

I 'rebalanced' my battery Friday, and got the 'red code of death' on Saturday morning. The OBD data is attached. As a welcome relief, the car does not show any codes now, so hopefully I'll be able to drive it to the dealer this afternoon. A couple points on the OBD data. At full charge, the...

I will probably be pilloried, drawn and quartered etc. for this post, but I'm revising my opinion on all-electric cars. First of all, I love my Turbo S. It is the best car I've ever had, and it is probably the most beautiful car I will ever own. The performance is staggering, and it is a...

Anyone tried this? I've installed and it was simple and works great! iPhone control lets you monitor and schedule charging. Very simple - plug and charge 40A is the default. Can do 48A if you hardwire.

I had a very unique charging experience and I think it would be very interesting to see if others have some data that we can compare. I ran the car down to 2% (driving around my home for the last few %), let the car sit the next day, then charged at home to 100% using the Porsche charger. The...

I have enjoyed driving my Taycan Turbo S for almost three years, and 30,000 miles. At this point, my car is in the dealership with an unexplained 30% drop in range. What really bothers me is that Porsche just doesn't seem to know and/or be willing to diagnose and determine the cause of a...

OK, this is a tough one, and I've reported this to the NHTSA. What you're looking at is 4 pictures, all relating to my summer Goodyear tires. First is my drivers side rear, second my passenger side rear, third is the inspection report when my dealer installed the wheel/tire combination on...

OK, first of all, this is the best car I've ever driven - by a long shot. It redefines 'daily driver' for me and I just don't see anything even remotely close to this car in terms of the combination of performance, quality, driving experience, and exterior and interior styling. I love this...

I am really getting tired of Porsche not having a handle on their software. Due to the 'update' I have been getting an error message every time I charge the car. I fiddled with the menu and various settings and managed to eliminate the message one time, but it has returned. I will get one of...
