    Looking to import a European-spec'd Taycan CT4 to USA

    Different charging ports in Europe vs US. Changing them would be very expensive. This is why there's no option for European delivery of US Taycans, the way there is for ICE Porsches.

    Onboard AC charger (22 kW option) failed - compensation of 1700 EUR - opinion

    I'm sure you know this, but for others reading this thread: the 22kW OBC has a design flaw, so a replacement unit will just fail as well. @ct14garage has a thriving business replacing the MOSFETs with ones that are correctly rated so that his customers have highly reliable 22kW OBCs. For some...

    The 4S is so much better than the 4 that ....

    If I'm reading @prj's test results correctly, on pre-facelift/J1.1 Taycans, a tuned 4 produces 49% more power than an untuned 4S, and slightly more torque. A tuned J1.1 4 and 4S have identical power and torque. This is with his MapEV tune, specifically...

    My Taycan "sneeses", is it normal?

    Hmmm. perhaps there's a perfectly innocuous explanation, such as this one discovered by Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes 1080p | The Case of the Laughing Mummy | Sherlock Holmes movies

    In What World Does This Make Sense?

    Zunsport grills are available on Amazon, which I'm guessing removes us as the importer, although I haven't tried that yet.

    What is a reasonably priced tire sealant refill cartridge that will fit my MY2022?

    Does liquid tire sealant even work on EV tires that have the sound absorbing foam strip inside? Some non-EV tires like my Michelin Pilot Sport S 5s also have this foam strip. I would think the foam strip would soak up a lot of the fluid, and also prevent it from flowing laterally, so the fluid...

    Why is the Taycan so prone to tire punctures?

    I think you're onto something. According to @prj , EV tires have less tread depth than the equivalent ICE tire in order to achieve lower rolling resistance. That, combined with the greater width of EV tires typically mounted on Taycans, is a plausible explanation for why Taycans would suffer...

    Hancook iON evo AS all season tires good but hard to find

    Here's a somewhat controversial solution: try a used tire vendor like United Tire. They do sell new tires, but their differentiator is being able to replace a single damaged tire with one that matches the tread depth of your remaining tires. You can also get great deals on barely used tires...

    Looking into buying a New 2025… what would be a good deal?

    If I recall correctly, the original oak green Taycans delivered to dealers as "Porsche spec" (not customer or dealer spec) were missing PAR. That, rather than color preference, may be why they are not selling well.

    Need advice - My Taycan 4S is approaching 70,000 miles

    I have >62,000 miles on my heavily optioned 2020 4S, to which I added custom wheels, PPF and other protections, soft-close door mechanisms, ECU tune, I forget what else. I was fortunate to get a complete HV battery pack and dual cooling fan/shroud replacements under warranty, bringing those...

    Cool PPF ideas?

    Not here to comment on color choice, although the orange in your photo is gorgeous, but recommend you consider colored PPF, which is much thicker and more protective than a wrap, and includes a layer of paint pigment. Here's a thread on this topic...

    Anyone spec the "Paldao" interior trim? How do you like it?

    I love the "private jet" feel it gives the interior. After five and a half years and 62k miles it looks new – no scratches or finish wear despite not being pampered. Here's an old photo (where I'm waiting to board the Auto Train, hence the taped on signs).

    PSCB: Slight scraping sound from front left wheel when in motion
