For the Taycan faithful, diminished value isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. I recommend driving the thing into the ground….that way your enjoyment will, by far, outweigh the cost.
Same here. When my car did something similar, I didn't take to the internet to forecast doom & gloom/tens of thousands in repair costs. I simply locked it, walked away and came back to find it all good with no errors. 👍
Porsche hedged from the very beginning by creating a new model called Taycan. They did this so that they could kill it if needed and protect the rest of the portfolio, but designed based the Taycan off of Panamera architecture (best of both worlds from their perspective). The potential to...
This wasn’t recent but when I bought my car, some of the late stages were gone and came back several times. I suspect that the status is connected to Porsche’s production/ERP system and if the car doesn’t move to its planned sequence the status goes blank. I found that it comes back once the...
There is nothing special about bleeding the brakes. They are essentially the same mechanically as the Panamera. The challenge is the reset. Need a tool in order to do it.
If you are going to bedazzle your Porsche with various trinkets, it’s best to go with someone other than Porsche for the trade. You will get more from those that are not purists for the brand.
You get more sun than I do based on geographic location. That said, my recommendation is to put on a baseball cap if/when the situation dictates. Once the vehicle glass/structure is beyond factory warranty, you can bedazzle it at your own risk.
PS, by then you will likely deem it to be...
That depreciation is steeper than normal. That said, you should hang onto your CT. It is now a classic, rare machine that will fetch a premium at some point 🙂
You guys just need to be more assertive. Taycan has a 2 speed gearbox. It needs clarity on whether or not you want the kick down for full beans . If you are unsure, check in with your wife’s boyfriend. He should be able to provide the clarity you require.
…..I will see myself out.
Unless I am missing something, there is. I surprise to this outcome. There is no insurance for general wear and tear.
This would be like making a claim on insurance because the paintwork on the car has become dull.
I haven’t driven the new one but I would estimate that it’s significant. The key here is that it’s not needed on the road. A 4S of any year is really quick.
Indistinguishable difference on a car that is new from factory….
I say this as a person that obsesses over these things, is deep down the rabbit hole on detailing and has done a 2-step paint correction on my own car.
Pro tip: A paint correction is not needed before PPF. The PPF will hide the kinds of minor defects that you might see from the factory. The biggest reason to tick this box is to have the total cost spread over a loan/lease....if that is of value to you.
