    Porsche unable to engineer a reliable heater?

    Yes I just got this letter on Monday. I called my dealer, left a message, and have not heard back yet. My heater seems to be working.

    Not great news for VW/Porsche...

    Apparently, Honda is crushing it with electric and especially plug in hybrids.

    Still after 4 years - probably the best looking car I'll ever drive

    I just finished washing and spray waxing my car and I was thinking the same thing!

    Just got a Warranty Extension Notice (AC system servo motors)

    I just received it also. I guess it’s a good thing to get an extended warranty. Or does that mean my Air Coditioning System Servo motors are going to break soon? Also, I asked my sales associate at my recent 3 year state inspection visit if I should buy the extended warranty now and he told me...

    Do NOT crack your panoramic glass!

    Sorry you are going through this. I also had a crack in my panoramic roof. It was very similar in appearance and size to your crack. The original repair quote was about $7000 from the dealer. Allstate insurance countered with about $5000. Some negotiations ensued. The final repair cost agreed to...

    Porsche Protection Package

    I bought a similar plan and have had 2 tires replaced for free. I have also curbed my wheels twice and they have repaired them seamlessly while the car was in for the tire replacements. By the way, Porsche covered the towing costs both times I needed the tire replacement.

    Taycan TV Commercial on Sunday Night Football

    I enjoyed seeing the commercial. The Taycans looked great and I liked the music. It was a good break from watching the Eagles playing so poorly.

    Night Driving Glasses Recommendations?

    I am an ophthalmologist. There are many possible reasons for your symptoms. First, please make sure the inside and outside surfaces of your windshield are clean. You probably have already done this. Second, see your optometrist or ophthalmologist. Even is you think your distance vision is good...

    Why is the Taycan so long?

    The long length (and width) of the Taycan is why I kept my trusty 2015 BMW 228i when I bought the Taycan. The BMW is about 175 inches long. About the same length as a similarly aged Cayman. I still drive the Taycan much more frequently than the BMW because the Taycan is so much fun to drive. I...

    Taycan seems to win 1st position regardless of good or bad

    I saw this article also. My anecdotal out of pocket repair costs over 16000 miles and 20 months are zero dollars. I don't know where he came up with these numbers.

    Only getting around 130 miles range

    Here are my numbers from the My Porsche app. I have a 2021 4S with the performance battery. I live in suburban Philadelphia, where it is cold in the winer and hot in the summer. I mostly drive short daily drives, about 100 miles weekly for work and another 50 or 100 miles on weekends for fun. I...

    How long does the keyfob battery typically last?

    15 months for me. When I got the "keyfob not detected" warning with one of the keyfobs, I changed the battery on both keyfobs.

    Does driving a Taycan make one an official EV and/or Porsche brand ambassador?

    My favorite along this line is George Carlin riff: stupid people. It makes me laugh every time I hear it. It's on youtube.

    Porsche Roadside Assistance

    I used Porsche Roadside assistance for a flat tire that occurred while on vacation last summer 100 miles from my home and my local dealer. They towed the car for free to my local dealer at no charge. I also just suffered my second flat tire last week, this time 3 miles from my local dealer...

    Would you buy a Taycan again?

    Yes I would absolutely buy a Taycan again. Exactly a year and 10,000 miles of ownership and I love it. Smoothest, fastest and most beautiful car that I have had. It is currently at the dealer for state inspection and software/recall updates. They gave me an Taycan 4S that is identical to my car...
