  1. [opinion] - hmmm…VW/Audi/Porsche _IS_ in trouble… [⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO INSULTING / POLITICALLY CHARGED POSTING]

    What's interesting is EVs are not going away - they clearly are the future. And the emissions restrictions in the EU are only going to get more stringent. VW is all but abandoning EVs, cutting labor, and hoping things improve by increasing price on exclusive ICE cars? Hope, as we all know, is...
  2. Active Parking - How?

    It has never once worked for me, ever. I thought something was wrong until I found almost everyone else experiences the same thing. Literally crawling past oodles of open parking spots, not once has it shown that it can park itself. My BMW, on the other hand, works flawlessly. The trade-offs of...
  3. "Jetta And Taycan Among 10 Cars Facing The Axe At VW Group: Report" - article

    No one could blame them for axing the Taycan given where sales are going. They are simply priced too high for what they offer, and younger generations aren't spending $200k on cars when they can't afford a mortgage and student loans. The boomers clearly prefer ICE Porsches, thus creating the...
  4. 4S (J1.1) to GTS (J1.2) - difference in power?

    Get the MapEV tune to really unlock the potential and save the $$$ from not needing to buy another model.
  5. "Porsche Reflects On Its First Electric Car: 'Timing Wasn't Ideal'" - article

    It's a really good point as I am one of those people. A CPO Taycan is like a gateway drug, and now the only cars I research are Porsche when I historically have been a BMW guy. The Taycan just has no comparison.
  6. "Porsche Reflects On Its First Electric Car: 'Timing Wasn't Ideal'" - article

    I think Porsche built the best-driving EV sedan on the market. The problem was never the product—it was the pricing. The Taycan launched at a price point that led to brutal depreciation, and that scared away a lot of buyers. Once people started seeing six-figure cars lose value quickly, many...
  7. Porsche Annual Press Conference

    To see financials like this and the CEO doubling down on making Porsche more exclusive (i.e. expensive) is idiotic. A base Taycan starts at $105k with 400 hp, and a BYD Han L has 1000 hp and costs $30k with far better tech. Subsidy or not, Porsche is just digging their heels in and hoping things...
  8. Saw a J1.2 in the wild for the first time

    I've been in NC for 6 years and have seen 1 Taycan. They're just not popular in my area either for whatever reason. The new ones sit on dealer lots for months and months and months.
  9. Saw a J1.2 in the wild for the first time

    Good points. I've had my '23 GTS for a couple of months but already am contemplating my next one (that will be a J1.2). My wife hates the laggy PCM and touchscreen everything so I'm wondering how quickly I should level up knowing how similar they are.
  10. Saw a J1.2 in the wild for the first time

    As a J1.1 owner, I'm curious about what's better other than the range? I've seen a number of people say the J1.2 is so much better, but on paper besides the range and HP increase, I'm not really clear on what else is improved. My understanding is the PCM is no different than J1.1 but I could be...
  11. Redshift vs MapEV

    My Lap3 Stage 1.5 ECU tune for my Kia Stinger was $2700. TCU tune was $2k. Lap3 sent a separate OEM ECU & TCU much like MapEV does, thus why it costs so much. Not sure where you think gas tuning is way less unless you are talking about piggyback tuning, which isn't remotely the same thing. Oh...
  12. Has Taycan Depreciation Changed the Porsche Experience?

    This is my first Porsche so I don't have anything to compare this to. The depreciation was a benefit to me given I was able to buy one that's 3 years old at a 50% discount. I think these cars are massively overpriced and it's pretty clear Porsche does everything they can to get you to part with...
  13. 2023 Taycan GTS CPO Ice Grey Metallic

    Raleigh, NC. Meticulously maintained CPO 2023 Porsche Taycan GTS in Ice Grey Metallic with Black/Bordeaux Red leather interior. This car is Porsche Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) which transfers since I am a private seller and not a dealer. It's exceptionally well optioned, with an original MSRP of...
  14. What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    Dude, you just got unlucky. I've had 0 issues with my 2023 GTS. They're not all lemons. You could buy a lemon BMW/Polestar/Audi just as easily. Like someone else said - what's most important to you? Then narrow that down. If it's a Taycan that isn't a lemon, then get Porsche to buy it back and...
