Saw this one pop up for sale online. Looks like a PTS Gulf Orange? https://www.porschesanluisobispo.com/vehicle-details-2023-porsche-taycan-gts-sport-turismo-san-luis-obispo-ca-id-58900848

For me there's no other EV that compares. The internet screams all of the issues with the Taycan but I think it's a underrated on just how well it drives, especially considering prices on the used market. I have no desire to upgrade to anything on the market or near future. There's certainly...

Maybe they've changed the behavior but when I had a '19 Model 3 Perf, flooring it in chill mode was pretty slow, close to economy sedan levels. Default startup mode "Sport" had full power though which was nice. I agree we should have access to overboost power without launch'ing. Something like...

Well optioned and priced! Pretty rare to see PCCBs and RAS at the 4S level.

As far as I'm aware, the automatic lowering at speed goes low (1 step down), not the lowest (2 steps down). Range mode is also 2 steps down and can incur the same camber + tire wear issues over long distances

I regularly take trips from Austin to Houston and Dallas TX and EA is still just as bad in terms of reliability and congestion. Central, West, and SW Houston almost always have 1 or 2 stalls down. Tons of Bolts hogging stalls and charging to 100%. Waco on the way to Dallas is the same story. I...

Just did this with the help of OP's linked video and instructions below For step 2A, the fasteners are pushpins instead of screws. For step 3A, there were no screw fasteners on mine, just held in with 3B clips. A few notes Getting air filter back in can be tricky, just keep flattening and...

Did the scheduled 2 year brake fluid flush on the 2022 Taycan at my indy a few weeks ago and wow, the brake feel, especially blending, is so much better, smoother and firmer. I initially thought the improved feel was due to the car using the physical brakes more after the flush, as I read on...

Jason Camissa mentioned it doesn't follow that Ioniq5 trait and suspects the length is around a Golf. It still seems a smidge too big for a hot hatch but I'm digging the overall looks. Wish the R3 came out before the R2, even though the R2 will probably sell better.

A lot of it depends on where you live, driving habits, and previous experience with EVs and high HP cars. I have plenty of roads and opportunities nearby to safely feel the acceleration. Instant torque shove is addicting and fun, that's one of the reasons I've been driving EVs for years. I like...

I doubt any drivetrain upgrades will make it but hoping for infotainment and software upgrades will be possible. My first gen Model S had a paid option to upgrade the entire computer and infotainment which was nice to have.

The two plugs beneath the J1772 on the passenger side are for DC fast charging only. Tesla DC fast charging won't be available for Taycans until 2025 with a different, separate adapter (NACS --> CCS1) With the standard Taycan onboard charger, capable 3rd party adapter and 60A or higher circuit...

For the Taycan I've used Taurus Auto Detailing in South Austin. Have used XPEL and Austin Auto Finishes (previously Austin Detailing) for other cars with good results too.

Please do not charge to 100% at a DC fast charging station like EA unless absolutely necessary and/or multiple stalls are available. The charging speed slows down quite a bit above 90% coupled with availability and congestion at EA chargers is already bad enough. Above 95% it's nearly slow...

The CCS1 -> NACS from Tesla is reasonably priced at $250 so I would hope if they ever make a NACS -> CCS1 adapter it would be in the $300-$500 range. The aftermarket NACS->CCS1 adapter (A2Z) is $206. I think I would pay up to $1k to never use EA/EVGo again

If you are open to the sedan, they are much cheaper than equivalent CT/ST. I had a Model S and 3 previously and both CT and sedan have less storage than a Model S. Storage space is more comparable to a Model 3 really. If you have adults/big kids regularly sitting in the back the CT is...

This thread lists compromises when selecting some options that might be helpful. But it sounds like you're looking for reliability/replacement pricing reasons to avoid options. Pano roof and air suspension would potentially be big ticket items for replacement or repair. Same goes for higher...

Options wise it has the basics (premium pack, sport chrono, 400v/150kw charger), though missing a few nice to have options: adaptive cruise, rear axle steering, and insulated glass. I don't know the the Canadian market but $150k CA --> $120k USD is in the ballpark for the CT4S US market, if...

Another use case for the TeslaTap is combining it with the Tesla Mobile Connector kit for primary mobile charging since the TMC has more adapters available than the J1772 mobile charge kits. The J1772 kits can be had with RV (14-50) and standard outlet (5-15) but the TMC can also be had with a...

TeslaTap Mini 60A if you have the standard AC onboard charger, TeslaTap Mini 80A if you have the 19.2kW option
