I am a long time multiple tesla owner and this is par for the course with Tesla. They did this back in the early days of Model 3 as well, overnight wiping out thousands of dollars of value. Back then Tesla was much smaller, so the people who remember that rough lesson were fewer. This time it's...
Same question for me. A battery change or big Infotainment redesign would have the biggest impact on residuals for older ev models. So if Porsche moves to a larger pack in 2024, that adds 10-20% more range, then that would have a huge impact on earlier models.
It does seem that Porsche...
Congrats on the new GTS! Looks awesome, and I like the splash of color on the interior! Did you get good value out of your 4S on trade?
I am also considering the electronic dimming roof, definitely keep up posted on what you think about it after some time!
This lowers the labor complexity for them, and also minimizes the chance they nick your paint if they were cutting the film by hand. With that said, a "bulk install" where they cut it by hand can be nicer. Or they can use pre cut and increase the cut margin so they can wrap.
Wrapped edges are a...
Yes I saw that, I have been reading a ton about the option here, and discovered that as well. I don't have any kids now, so i dont worry about them kicking the leather. :)
Thanks for that tip. I will see what Porsche Exchange (my dealer) and if not, then make the trip out to be able to see...
Yeah I am going to try and make that happen this next week. Right now I am going to start from the position of NOT adding the package, and then see once I experience it, if it changes my mind.
Aaarrrgh…. The only leather color option i like is the Olea Club leather… So it Adds like 6k to the price. If i went standard, then I would just go black and put the Neo accents. But if i were to go full leather, then I would like the Olea Basalt Black + Meranti Brown.
I was hoping the move...
Thanks for the report! Charging hasn‘t bothered me really with the Teslas, and so I guess I am used to it now. Also, if in doubt you can always watch Netflix on the screen, i know the Taycan doesnt have that built in, but I saw you can use a carplay adapter to add it.
Thanks for all the...
Yeah I am just going to go for the Performance pack, and keep all the features. I want the tech pack as by the time i add the ACC and the second display, I am close enough that it doesn’t matter.
The leather is the last thing I am really debating. I dont like any of the options except the Olea...
This is awesome. I know the market was different then and it's probably going to be worst when I sell, but I wanted to get a feel for how they are holding value.
This is awesome to hear. I am switching to Mamba Green. I just love the dynamics of it, and I want something a little different. My TRX is Silver, the Model X is gray, have Black BMWs. I think it's time for some color!
This is awesome to hear. I have both an R1T and R1S on order as well, but I don’t expect them for another year or so.
I actually was going to take delivery of a Lucid and was confirming my order when I got the email from Porsche. The timing couldn’t have been better.
I like your style on...
I am in the west loop! What made you swap up into the GTS? Was it mainly the power of the CT4? The plaid has finally showed me, that in the mission for this car, I don’t need as much power. :) Just enough to keep it fun, and romps around lower wacker and some other stretches in the city.
How...
How strong and powerful is the massage seat function. I just test drove the Lucid Air, and that massage function was incredible. Much stronger and more powerful than anything I have experienced from BMW.
Thanks for that insight on the must have items vs the nice to have ones! Yeah, some of the items are for me. I think I will Think out some of the performance package after all.
I see you have a MG! Do you love it? Any regrets on the color?
Hi! I just got the email from Porsche NA for my Taycan CT4S, and now it’s time to lock the build. A little bit about me. I currently daily a Model X Plaid, and this will replace that. I live in Chicago, and have a daily commute of only about 10 miles. Mostly city surface streets. But I do long...
