Thank you again for the recommendation. The install was done well and he price was 1/3 of the cost quoted to me from a local dealer. Much appreciated. And it is great to have OEM equipment updated to modern standards (apart from a backup camera, which I, like so many, have hacked to install).
I"m really hoping someone can help me out here, as the local dealer quoted nearly $1,900 just to install the Porsche Classic Plus unit, which is not reasonable and doesn't even include the backup camera. It's hard to find a good audio shop these days, or at least it is for me.
Confession: This is for my Club Coupe, not my Taycan. I want to install the Porsche Classic Plus unit with a back-up camera. I have already purchased all of the components. I could use my Porsche dealer, and may do so, but Porsche claims that it does not support back up cameras. As such, I...
If your goal is to buy a car and keep for many years, the Taycan is not the right choice. It’s not about ice v EV. It’s about reliability and cost of repair. Simply no comparison between Lexus/Toyota (which are very reliable, have comparatively low cost to repair, and retain value versus...
I honestly don’t care that much, but I think that having a battery failure or a cracked glass roof in year 9 would be a complete and utter disaster where one would have been much better off with a different car under warranty. I would not spend 50k to repair a car worth 40K (particularly if...
I feel the need to correct this narrative here if this is directed to my comment.
The Taycan is VERY expensive, with expensive repairs and replacement parts.
I think that Porsche and all of the car manufacturers are building cars now in a way that is not meant to be retained (i.e., they are...
My thoughts exactly, although I would keep up to the point of the end of my factory warranty. If they could extend past lease period, sure, maybe. Now, that's not meant to say I don't like my Taycan because I do, and I might even replace it with another. But for a car this expensive with such...
Actually, this is doesn’t describe me at all. And I don’t think this really gets my point. My 911 is 18 years old. I love it. I don’t think I’ll ever sell it or get a different 911. The changes to the 911 are material, but incremental. When I drive the new 911s, they are “better”, but...
In the US, at least, it would be illegal to deny warranty coverage on the basis of non Porsche program tires unless the damage was directly related to the tires (and even that would be highly questionable)..
For what it's worth, I have had Porsches with aesthetic modifications. So long as they are attractive (e.g., no flames or dragons or winged unicorns in waterfalls on car), Porsche has been chill . . . .
I would like to see before pictures. Also, looks great new, but are you worried at all...
I have had my Taycan for 2 years, and I have 5.5K miles.
I have had my 911 for 18 years (and it was my daily driver for over a decade), and I have yet to reach 30K miles.
I live in the city. I have few reasons to leave the city apart from trips, in most cases by plane. I occasionally drive to...
I find the title of this thread to be low key hilarious. Like “the cup holder is not detestable” or “marriage is survivable”.
I think the biggest issue with them is that the configurator is not accurate in appearances and there are few opportunities to see them in real life before ordering...
Honestly, if given a choice, I would live with this permanently if forced to choose between fixing this or a recall to fix a dangerously unergonomic center console . . .
