Finally got a good photo in the (relative) dark. I like how the Porsche logo is lumed and sub-dials emulate the DRL pattern of the 992's PDLS+ LED headlights!

I ordered this "Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph X Porsche 963" a few weeks ago, and it just came! Super excited to wear this 1-of-963.

Assuming you're already a member of PCA, contact PCA National to tell them you're moving. They'll slot you into Hill Country Region where we have events planned frequently!

Fair enough. Is the delay due to parts? Or waiting for someone who knows how to do the job? I hope they at least put you in a Macan loaner.

You could save yourself a lot of time / money by just coming down to Austin as the Californians eventually do. ? Porsche Austin has been very good for sales and service. And I'd like to think Hill Country Region PCA is the best region in the country! I hope your glass roof gets fixed soon. Re...

It's 2024, and the Taycan 93kWh battery is $37K. From Audi no less. ? P/N 9J1915100AM https://parts.audiusa.com/p/Audi__/Drive-Motor-Battery-Pack/103052090/9J1915100AM.html

@nischalr - thanks for your well-written thoughts. I also agree that this is the automotive online forum with the most well-reasoned and civilized members. IMO, it's actually more similar to the discourse I find with Porsche Club of America members in my local region than to the sometimes...

The tire pricing seems to be in line with what Porsche Austin is charging. Just that their installation is more expensive than Discount Tire. https://www.pcnatirestore.com/InitDealer?dealer=671

It's still very curious about Texas' stance as an oil & gas state since we are now home to the world's most valuable automaker ... that produces exactly zero ICE vehicles. That said, do reach out to James, the service manager at Porsche Austin. They've always done right by me, so I don't know...

I ordered a 992 Carrera T last year and traded my Taycan 4S towards it this past summer. I hope to get back into a Taycan or other Porsche EV some day! Please join Hill Country Region PCA and see our events listing here: https://hcrpca.org/events/

I don't think Plug and Charge was ever added to the 2020 due a HW limitation? EA broke my wife's patience when on a trip between Houston and Austin (that normally takes ~3 hours) ended up taking over 4 hours due to needing to wait for the only 2 working EA chargers in Columbus, Texas to free up...

I have a Tesla Model 3 as a rental car from Avis this week, and ... it just works. Despite all the usual criticisms about the Model 3 as a car, the charging experience is so seamless. Navigate to a Supercharger station find an open stall (there's always an open stall that I've seen at every...

Great write-up! I have done two HPDEs at COTA when I had a Taycan 4S. I wrote about my experience here. And my second time out, I beat my old 997.2's best time: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/2-38-lap-at-cota.10435/ Are you part of PCA Hill Country Region? I didn't go to the most...

Yes, just as 95% of apps in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store are worthless. There's also this piece from the Daily Mail in 2000 that didn't age well: Blockchain, as a technology, is designed to allow decentralized source-of-truth. Event ticketing that decouples the reliance on...

Yes, and this is table stakes for the success of EVs in the US. But just as Porsche did not build gas stations in 1963 for the original 911, maybe Porsche should not directly own / build fast DC charging stations? This seems like a solution best served by EA, ChargePoint, or in conjunction with...

But is that truly a quick way to expand an addressable market? This is a marketing funnel problem; Porsche is inherently an exclusive, up-market brand, and the intersection of that audience with people who want an EV is shown by current Taycan sales and trade-in values. The oft-delayed Macan EV...

Hey Dave, I appreciate the discussion, especially because I've been on multiple threads with you on this forum where you've laid out good engineering analysis. Re: energy consumption, you made me genuinely curious because I'm not inherently a web3 proponent. The argument sounded much like the...

Isn't every enthusiast on TaycanForum, Rennlist, etc. a "shill", in that case? Did you get a free hat at the 75th anniversary / Festival of Dreams event hosted by your local dealership? Authentic grassroots marketing is what keeps Porsche so popular among its enthusiasts. Ferrari, arguably, does...

Re: NFTs and worth, P911.DE stock is down 17% in the last 6 months, and no one is claiming that's a scam or that Porsche (as a company) is worthless. If you look at holding Porsche shares or a Porsche NFT as an "entrance ticket" to shareholder meetings or NFT holder events, there's still value...

None of the above. I'm a multiple Porsche car owner and part of the leadership in a PCA regional chapter. But not on Porsche AG or PCNA's payroll!
