It's really a shame. I paid $2,500 for my porsche charging station, and after multiple problems and visits just scrapped the damned thing and got an aftermarket charger. The car has been in the shop 6 months in my 5-1/2 years of ownership. I'm taking my car in next week because after...

Is there ANYONE who thinks this is a great looking car? How does something like this make it past basic models, much less full commercial release? Crazy.:rolleyes:

I don't want to be too much of a downer, but I believe the era of cars being bought for 'performance' (as we enthusiasts think of it) is coming to an end. EV's will become the car of choice, and they all (eventually) will be self-driving. You'll just tell the car where you want to go, and it...

Check out your battery with an obd reader. Discharge the battery to less than 10% and look at the cell voltages (let it sit overnight prior to reading if you can). If the battery is bad, you'll see some of the cells with very different voltages, and you can show this to the dealer. If all the...

My experience has been the dealers are the last to know about new models. Porsche wants them to sell what they have, so they are not well informed on this topic... People on this thread will know about things WAY before the dealers do.:rock: In terms of 'merging' the Taycan with the Panamera...

20+ years from now, the ICE car will be as common as a manual transmission is now. I think the legacy car companies could very well go the way of Kodak. The Chinese make better cars than we (or anybody else) can, at 1/2 the price. I believe any car company that isn't vertically integrated...

My 2020 Turbo S has smartlift. You probably just need a software update.

The second time they identified bad cells, they replaced the entire battery. That was June 2024 - not sure what the policy is now.

Here's the Big Big problem that Porsche and ALL of the legacy car manufacturers have - they have an incredibly well developed and resourced infrastructure - for combustion engined, water cooled, oil lubricated, gas guzzling, turbocharged, multi-gear transmissioning, power trained, sport...

I have to agree about the sound. I knew I was going to miss it, but I didn't really appreciate how important the engine note was in making me feel connected to the car. The exhaust note tells you so much about what the car is doing (and yes, it tells everyone else in hearing distance as well)...

Factoring in the actual cost of owning the car, and reselling it, I bet the GT3 is one heck of a lot cheaper...

You have the GT3-RS - 6:49 ring time, and seats as many people.

Don't really see the point - it's a 2 seater...

This is a VERY loud 'clunk' when parked and engaging gear. Nobody else??

I'm hearing the same type of noise - quite a loud 'clunk' when starting out after the car has sat for a bit. Very loud 'clunk'! Anybody talked to a dealer about this???

No chance Porsche will discontinue the Panamera in favor of the Taycan. In 2025, the Porsche Panamera outsold the Taycan, with Panamera global deliveries totaling roughly 27,701 (including a 16.8% rise in the U.S. to 4,651). Conversely, Taycan sales dropped by 22% to 16,339 units globally due...

I can see using the same chassis for ev and hybrid in an SUV - plenty of room to insert a large battery into a ‘unoptimized’ hybrid chassis. Not so for a much lower and more compact and stylish grand touring Taycan or Panamera. Any tool that does multiple things is never as good as a...

Windex works for pretty much everything! (See my big fat Greek wedding).;)

I have to keep coming back to the fact that if this was an alignment issue, you would see it on the treadwear. This is just basic tire wear 101 - no? We have delamination without unusual treadwear on multiple tire types. I had my alignment checked when I had this problem, and it was within...

That is not quite correct - it's a 90% reduction in emissions compared to 2021.
