This poll attempts to determine the percentage of Taycan owners who have attempted to charge at a Tesla Supercharger and the level of success when they attempt to charge at a Tesla SC.

I was initially under the impression that each 'bar' shown in the Taycan Cruise Control dash widget indicated an average car length or maybe two. Over time it seems to me that this gap has widened. Initially I used 4 bars when doing highway driving which kept my car at a reasonable distance from...

Apparently C&D has gotten so much flack about covering EVs that they put the complete results of the 20-something EV comparisons online only. C&D's editor Tony Quiroga did comment: "Still, those of you who dismiss EVs do so at your own peril." Like a lot of other reviews of the Taycan '25...

The Taycan isn't the only EV experiencing dizzying depreciation. Last month I picked up a white 2024 Ioniq SEL with 5,500 miles for about 28% less than the MSRP of $43K. The car was sold by a Ford dealer and appeared (and appears) to be in perfect condition. Why buy? My wife loved riding in the...

Posts about tires for Taycans are all over the map as to preferences and recommendations. It seems the Michelin 4S Pilots have the least bad said about them (based on a casual reading of posts) and are otherwise highly regarded. Is there any reason not to go with Michelin 4S Pilots ...

My wife dropped me off and drove off in our Taycan without the key (it was in my pocket). Surprising, she made it about 5 miles to our house with lots of console messages about a missing key but otherwise no problem. Didn't think this would work but glad it did.

I understand from a dealer that Porsche as of earlier this year is offering an extended up to 10 year warranty on Taycans. The warranty simply extends what came with the car (so it adds 5 years, I believe). For my car no inspection is needed (about 15K on a 2.4 yr old car). Other provisions as...

I ran over a dead skunk last night and the car still reeks. I have a good power washer that I use for washing the Taycan. Works great. Q: Is it OK to use it on medium pressure on the underside of the car?

Ford just announced that future EVs would sport two-way charging meaning that a vehicle could be used as back-up power in a home or shop. I'd love to have this functionality in my Taycan. Any thought on whether this could be a retrofit, assuming that Porsche got on board with the idea?

Here's a link to a Washington Post article on Tesla's autopilot's safety record: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/06/10/tesla-autopilot-crashes-elon-musk/ Hope you can access it .. I was able to but I'm a subscriber.

The NY Times just published an interesting article on the large percentage of charging stations which are broken at any given time. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/16/business/energy-environment/electric-vehicles-broken-chargers.html

An easy way to access news articles mentioning Taycan is to create a Google Alert. My alert string is "Porsche Taycan" and just about every day a list of new articles mentioning Taycan are listed. Here's one from today's list: https://www.hotcars.com/porsche-taycan-perfect-driving/

I recently purchased a base Taycan with basic 19-inch wheels. Some folks are after-market selling very low mileage sets of 19-inch Aero wheels+tires ("laser cut"). The Aero look lots better than the base wheel design so it's tempting to switch however I'm not sure what all would be involved...

I'm unclear on the steps involved in working with out-of-area dealers who don't have an allocation to offer but agree to put you on a wait list for an allocation. What sort of assurances does one have as to their place on the wait list? Is this just a verbal agreement type-of-thing until an...
