I am coming close on the 3 year mark with my CT4S. I expect to hold for another 2-3 years when i think the benefits of change may be higher. - It's by far the best car i have ever owned - I've had 1 issue resulting in it being at the dealer for 3/4 weeks (Suspension sensor) but beyond that and...

There is no substitute to removing the arch covers and cleaning thoroughly. I’ve had this a few times on both front fans and I’ve always been able to resolve it with a little ‘cheap’ maintenance. In fact I’ll incorporate this into my maintenance washes on a weekly or biweekly basis depending on...

Damien - I just wanted to extend a sincere thank you for the incredibly informative posts, thoughtful responses, and shared experiences on this forum over the years. Your insights have been invaluable in helping me figure out a Taycan could realistically fit into my life—not just the excitement...

Thanks for the great update! How have the 21” aero wheels held up from a finish perspective? I saw them on a new J1.2 and thought they looked quite “plastic like” and something that could scratch and mark easily?

I am coming up up 48,000km on my second set of Pirelli 21' tyres. Anyone got any recommendations for an alternative that may offer a little more mileage as against the 24,000km i'm getting on the Pirelli's?

I too received this email and filed it away in the "we care about you/window dressing" folder!

Does anyone have any insight on what orders for the new model are looking like in the above areas? Any trends on the variant proving most popular?

I can see how this response would be frustrating. I'd likely feel the same. My opinion, for what it's worth, is to persevere and go on record that it's got to be resolved and your determined to do this in a satisfactory manner for you! I'm confident the dealership is not happy either given...

Thanks Damien, A great and simple to understand explanation as usual. I’m still going to stick with the ‘at time of car purchase’ plan for now. With the recent ecars reduction, my philosophy of only using public charging when I need it and the non existent IONITY offering south of Cashel I...

I have a '23 Taycan CT 4S and thankfully I have had only minor issues (2). Both were resolved with minimal impact to me but I can certainly see a challenge with not having enough qualified technicians right now and the resultant lead time you have mentioned. It's not an exclusive to Porsche...

This has happened to me three times as my thread above suggests. There is a known to Porsche issue where water does enter the boot lid and lodges within due to the presence of some manufacturing grommets. Their is a bulletin directing dealerships on how to resolve this issue. This was thought to...

I recently had a loaner Taycan Cross Truismo on 21 inch Good Year Eagle F1s from new. One big difference i noticed over the Pirelli's was the smoothness over all local and regional road types. Even though the Good Year's profile was the same as the Pirelli's (35's) it looked more visually and I...

I'm not sure if getting 14,000 miles from a set of 21 inch tyres is good on your car but i know it is similar to mine. I have a 2023 Taycan 4S CT with 14300 miles on a set of 21inch Pirelli P Zero's from new. Front tyres are right on legal limit of 1.6mm depth with rears at 2.00mm. I've a new...

I’m at the 20,000km distance and it’s nearly time to replace the original Pirelli P Zero 21’s. Front: 265 35 21, Rear:305 30 21. Anyone got experiences of other tyres on this car on Irish/UK roads that they would recommend. Why would you recommend? My driving style: Drive it like a Porsche and...

I missed this post earlier @f1eng . I believe I have a similar issue but in my case it has lead to the trunk not opening now in three separate occasions. I’m due back at the dealer next week to try get this fixed once more. The last time the dealer confirmed there was water ingress. See my...

See my link below. My CT4S will be back to the dealer next week for the third time with the trunk lid refusing to open. The dealer confirmed on the second return that there was evidence of water ingress. The car was delivered new in Jan ‘23. Has anyone else had this occur and more importantly...

I’d be interested to see how you got on as low and behold it’s happened to me now a third time!

Fantastic report as always Damien. I've only once experienced the free vend once in Ireland at the Ionity Kill South site!

I asked for an emergency release process for the trunk but the dealership did not (didn't appear to want to) provide! Their preferences was to see the car. Porsche Centre Dublin were able to resolve this.In fact it happened twice! It took them circa 2 hours to resolve on both occasions. When I...

In general, the issues appear to have been addressed. Also note that internet forums/blogs etc tend to over index on the negative where people are venting frustrations due to a void of information on a topic. I've had just over 12000KM of trouble free driving (excluding a boot lid mechanism...
