The height button in the dash has nothing to do with the drive modes. It's the button you push when you want max height, which can be useful if you're going over tall speed bumps etc. Also if you push that, it will ask if you want to save that location for the future, and it will put max height...

I fully agree. With buying I didn't mean buying with cash. I've always used financing in my car purchases. Usually I pay around 30% cash and have 70% financed.

Just to clarify a few points; I don't think any luxury cars are a good investment nor am I claiming that the new Taycan won't depreciate a lot. It certainly will depreciate but not necessarily as much. But this is all speculation anyway, there are so many factors that go into this and we will...

Good points in the thread about repair costs. I believe this is a problem with EVs in general as the battery replacement cost is so significant. And it's especially a problem with Porsche as the costs are even higher. This issue is getting more and more attention also due to the environmental...

Good point. It will definitely affect it to some degree. Which is a further reason why the used car supply for the new gen Taycan will be smaller in the coming years. Of course it means there will be used Macan EVs out there also, so it's hard to say to what degree this affects the equation.

I want to share my thoughts regarding depreciation of the updated Taycan. As I decided to swap my 2020 Taycan to the updated version, I've been thinking about this a bit. First of all, there are obviously a multitude of reasons why the Taycan has depreciated significantly but to me there are a...

I have a Taycan with 19" summer tires and 20" winter tires. I've always felt the steering at low speeds is a bit stiff. Not too stiff to be really problematic, but the difference is quite significant to any other car I've driven in the past. I've grown used to it and it simply is a...

There is a lot to unpack in this comment. First of all, I'm not aware of any chargers having significantly differing output in different temperatures. They will output more or less whatever they output, regardless of the weather. The key issue is battery temperature. The car will be able to...

Good to note that the difference is way bigger in colder weather. As the new gen charging speed is radically faster in the cold. This was a significant factor for me in deciding to upgrade, as I live in Finland and have definitely felt the inconveniences with my current Taycan in winter time.

I never leave the car plugged in for more than 1-2 days. Ever. There is always an increased risk of fire while actively charging and I also feel there is an increased risk of the 12V depleting since the car is actually doing something. Also, the phantom drain of the car is so low the main...

To me the main thing about this stuff is the effect on insurance cost. As long as you have proper insurance, they will pay, but when many of us go through these expensive fixes, the cost will go up. In my Taycan I've had to have the windshield replaced twice due to cracks. Never had an issue...

I for one never leave the car plugged in when parked for a prolonged period. I don't get why, I feel there is more risk of the 12V draining if I do that. Other than that, the linked instruction seemed reasonable. Taycan phantom drain on the main battery while parked and not plugged in, is super...

I like the new interiors. Lack of interesting exterior color options was more noticeable for me. Luckily there was one I liked. I configured black/bordeaux for my carmine red turbo. Additionally I have bordeaux seat belts and the clock. And the bordeaux leather cover for the cupholders.

Indeed, you're right. That is the issue I was talking about. Great to hear there is a fix being done!

I think no one knows for sure, yet. Unless someone has insider information. I certainly hope it is fixed but as the changes to the car on the outside were rather small, it's possible that it hasn't been fixed. There was a big news article about this in Finland also. A Taycan owner lives on a...

Regardless of the answer to the data selling question, I know for a fact that one reason why insurance cost has gone up is the unexpectedly high incident rate / repair cost. Especially the repair cost. For example the battery repairs and replacements are very expensive. There was articles in...

After some researching and thinking about it, I decided to add rear-axle steering to my build. The build isn't locked yet so this was possible. I'm excited to see how it changes the driving experience. I've never had a car with that feature. I will certainly report on it later on so we get one...

In my experience it's usually locked in when ordering over here. That has at least been the case now and was also with my Audi order a few years back. Might be different if the delivery was a long way off. To my surprise I'm getting the car really fast, estimate is June/July.

I have ordered already and I'm getting 72k€ for the 4S. If I understood your question correctly.

Thanks! For me it was the electric 718 that I was actually waiting for and considering. Then the updated Taycan came out of the blue and I changed my mind. Main reason for the decision was that I do occasionally need more than 2 seats so from a practical standpoint the Taycan is just superior...
