You would be surprised, we now have plastics that match the mechanical properties of cast aluminum while being A LOT more corrosion resistant. The thing holding these back has always been production costs, but that has dropped drastically in the last decade. I went to school for engineering and...

Miles per Kilowatt also doesn’t make much sense. That’s like giving a car’s fuel efficiency in “miles per horsepower”. A kilowatt and a kilowatt hour are not the same but are often confused. A kilowatt is a measure of power, think “how fast can I run” but kWh is is a measure of energy, think...

Importation can be difficult when the car was never sold in the US in the first place. For example, if you purchased a 2026 CT in Canada importing wouldn’t be terrible because that vehicle was already sold in the US. Importing a 2027 CT may be more difficult since no 2027 CT was ever sold here...

I’d say you purchased well. If you drive that for 3 years you are probably looking at $50k-$75k of depreciation. This is not too far off typical 3 year depreciation curves for a performance sedan/wagon. Who knows, maybe the Taycan Cross/Sport Turismos will be like the CTS Wagon and hold their...

People say EV battery replacement is so expensive relative to ICE cars. I’ll say this, your bill for a battery replacement is about the same bill Audi USA got when my 2023 RS6 engine let go. It needed a full long block replacement and both turbos with fewer than 10k miles on the clock. This...

Yes, my 2025 CPO (but only used as a demo) came with an adapter. A few weeks after I purchased the car I got an email from Porsche Charging Services to order my complementary NACS adapter. It shipped in about a week after that.

I feel bad for the people who paid MSRP for Taycans. I was able to get mine for 30-ish percent off of MSRP after it sat on a dealers lot for 12+ months. Since your car is already a J1.2, what were you looking to get out of a 2027 that would be different than your current vehicle? I say that...

if you look at the window sticker on your car was the “Ship to” location somewhere other than the dealership? Like a Porsche Experience Center?

On a CPO you have very little leverage. They should at least be giving you a loaner while your vehicle is in for service. Hopefully when you pick it up you they replaced your battery with a J1.2 battery.

I had a 2022 RS6 and was shocked how good the resale was. After nearly 4 years of ownership and 40k miles I got 80% of MSRP when I sold it. This was not a trade, but just sold to a dealer I wasn’t buying a car from.

Porsche North America has to buy their own cars from Porsche Germany for Press Cars and Experience Center Cars. One They are done they sell them to dealers to sell. A good way to tell if it was one of these is to look at the window sticker. On the right hand side there is a “ship to” address. If...

With the Taycan a dealer could get a $7,500 federal tax credit if the sold a Taycan to themselves prior to October 1st, 2025. So if a dealer had an unsold Taycan on 9/30/2025 (especially if it had been sitting there a while) they were better off selling it to themselves, taking the tax credit...

Just to clarify, the Tesla wallcharger and a Tesla Supercharger are two different things. In order to use a Tesla Supercharger (the large public chargers installed places like shopping centers) a 2023 Taycan had to have a specific option checked for the on-board 150kW DC-to-DC charger. This was...

It sounds like the passenger side (DC Charging port) is now NACS but the AC only charging port remains J1772.

Will there be a 2027 CT/ST in Canada? I thought it was dead for all of North America. If there is one I still think importing would be a hassle given the CT/ST was never sold in the US for MY27. The 918 shown above is a different story because the 2015 918 was sold in the US.

These can output 960 kW across all 8 chargers combined with no single charger going over 500 kW. These go up to 1000 volts DC and 500 amps to get 500 kW, but I don’t know how long they can sustain 500 amps before the cables get too hot. this is assuming the transformer supplying is at least...

I guess with the Cayenne EV and Mayan EV coming to the US, which will likely further cannibalism Taycan CT/ST sales, it didn’t make sense to continue importing them. Supporting the Taycan CT/ST would be a pretty large cost for Porsche NA when you consider spare parts stocks that would need to...

It is a great car when you buy it properly. I bought a 2025 CT 4S for about 30% off sticker with fewer than 1,000 miles and CPO warranty. It was delivered to a dealership in December of 2024, “punched” by the dealer as a loaner in September 2025, and sold to me in February of 2026. For $160K...

On my if I push the window button a little it goes down very slowly, but if I use the auto down function by fully pressing the button it moves quickly. Does everyone’s windows act this way?

Works great for me. Plug and charge doesn’t work, but I have a 25.
