Subjective of course, but I think Mamba is one of the best colors they offer. Surprised its not PTS. Makes the car IMO. And as other say, the response to this car is overwhelming. People stop you in all sorts to tell you how much they love it. They often say its the color. Middle pic shows...
It was Porsche Palm Springs. Honestly can say they are hands down the best service department I have ever dealt with. That includes multiple Porsche, BMW, Audi, Land Rover dealers. Used to live in PNW. Porsche Tacoma did not inspire confidence. In fact had issues with both my cars, could not get...
My software update ('22 Taycan 4 CT) took not quite 4 full days. They had a couple other issues they took care of in that time as well (alarm recall, damaged window replacement). Car went in on a Monday about 0930, was done by 330PM on Thursday. Zero issues, everything seems to be working...
Just a follow up to my glass defect. I took my car to the dealer, they replaced the glass under warranty :please:. They were not able to say what caused it.
I have a 2022 CT. Just moved from Seattle area to Palm Springs area. I am shocked how well the panoramic roof in my Taycan minimizes the heat via roof compared to a loaner Cayenne I have now or my wifes 2022 Land Rover Discovery with Pano roof. Its really quite amazing.
sorry if this is passe. But I wanted to add. Just sent the Taycan in for software updates and received a 2022 Cayenne with pano roof as loaner. Wow! Greatful for such a nice loaner. But what a difference. I can feel the heat via side, windshield and roof so much more in the Cayenne. The UV...
I have the thermally and noise insulated glass in Taycan CT. I used to live near Seattle. Just moved to Palms Springs area. Temps have been around 110 degrees. I was worried that the panorama glass roof would be a heat sink. Especially since it does not have a shade you can close. Instead I...
I thought so at first. But the dimple is on outside and is raised toward the outside of the car. Glass surface over the dimple free of any scratch or nick that a small impact might create. On the inside the glass is completely free of any imperfection. I would think if something hit with enough...
I have 2021 Taycan CT and ordered the thermally and noise insulated glass. Recently I noticed a defect on one of the rear door windows. Its a sunburst pattern that appears to be a focus of delamination between the external layer and the next layer. It looks like someone took a pencil sized...
Neptune Blue. That would have been a top choice if I had not gone Mamba Green. Beautiful.
It gets a little pricey but I personally love the deviated stitching on my car (also Mamba). I think Speed Blue + Chalk Seats and Neptune Blue would look amazing. I am assuming Speed Blue and Neptune...
I opted for "High Performance Summer Tires" on my 2021 Spyder instead of the "Ultra High Performance Summer tires". I feel like the summer tires on my Spyder are still not well suited to the relatively cool summers we have in the PNW, especially when the roads are wet. They tend to be a bit...
We had a bit of snow in the Seattle area. The Taycan performed flawlessly on powder and snow packed roads. It was honestly hard to get the car to break loose. Kudos to the 5000lb curb weight. The car is equipped with all season tires.
Actually, it is my understanding that in straight driving it is more compliant and only activates with lateral forces
Actually, when not active in the corners, I thought it makes the suspension more compliant. It cannot be turned on or off.
I bought the 4. For my build, the 4S was over 17k difference for exact same car. My focus on the build was to put money into handling (PTV, PDCC, Rear wheel steering), technology (Burmester, night vision assist), and aesthetics (full leather with contrast stitching, 21 in wheels, and surface...
