The door handle is a scratch. The stone chips you can repair yourself. Get some 1200 wet & dry and just smooth the edges of the stone chip. Now get your paint and using literally the tip of a sewing needle just touch in the damage. The pen itself is far too big. Use the absolute minimum amount...

It’s not just the problem itself though is it. It’s shortage of parts and/or techs qualified perform the procedure. I’m sure most of the Taycan owners here have owned other Porsches or other prestige brands, as have I. I’ve never had my car in the shop for weeks on end and had literally no other...

The seat can be repaired. Leather can be sanded, filled, resprayed and that damage is minimal. Stone chips can be handled yourself. Tiny touch of paint, let it dry, fill the chip with clear lacquer. Let it properly dry, fine wet and dry and polish. Pretty much invisible. The longer scratch, if...

There are always issues with new models. The S had issues with drivetrain, door handles, main screen delaminating but the S rarely bricks or needs low loading. Battery resilience on the early batteries (85kw) is also really good. I commute and I often have the family in the S, so I really don’t...

Personally, with what I’ve been reading about heater issues, 12v battery failures, pan roof cracks, red ring of death and the sheer amount of time some cars are spending in the dealership, I’m considering holding onto my 2014 (free supercharging) model S, until I see some feed back about the...

I can wash my car & the discs have surface rust before the day is out. Surface rust like that forms pretty much instantly. Normal use will take that off. ??

My commute in the UK is between Suffolk and London. Anyone who knows this part of the world knows that that means the A12 and the dreaded M25. I’m not sure any car on earth can make those roads enjoyable. I’ll let the S consume those miles and keep the Taycan garaged and lovely for the fun...

My previous car was a BMW M5 and it was good for 0-60 in 4 seconds. I found that to be insane, then had a model 3 performance for a while which was closer to 3 seconds. Both are nice party pieces but little more. Model S’ handle like a barge and the body roll and suspension don’t inspire you to...

I’m blown away by the depth & detail in these responses. Thank you for being so generous with your time. I retire in 5-years, perhaps less, either way my model S will have a lot of miles on it by then. As such, its value will be minimal so I may just keep it and run both. If the Taycan stirs...

Guys, thank you so much for the replies. This is exactly what I wanted to hear. It summarizes roughly what I thought having skimmed other fora. I guess I’m just a little nervous as I’m so used to the model S now, and was worried I’d find the cross over to Porsche tech to be either jarring or...

Hello everyone, For clarity, I don’t own a Taycan yet. I’m currently using a Tesla Model S as it supercharges for free and I commute a fair distance. A few things I like about the Tesla is the over the air software updates, ability to tailor charging speed/rate at home and the intuitive touch...
