    EA - how often is free charging working for you?

    About 90% success. The few times I was charged, I called EA and was given a credit back.

    Depreciation of the 2025 Taycan

    I agree completely. A Taycan out of warranty is a ticking expense bomb. Maybe pull the wheels, stand them on end and use them as a storage battery.😉

    Porsche NA delays reimbursement payment for charger replacement

    There’s certainly a legal hand in the process. My check came via FedEx overnight with a signature required. Overkill unless you’re a lawyer.

    Taycan to a 911 Cab?

    As long as you don't have anyone in those rear seats, you'll be fine. I miss my 2001 Turbo to this day.

    Pano glass crack

    I am not aware of anyone outside of Porsche doing this, which might force the insurer to pony up. Personally, I’m adding a glass PPF to mine to mitigate the stray rock hit. The replacement process sounds complicated enough that they could break something else while fixing the original problem.

    Pano glass crack

    A word of caution on insurance replacement - more and more insurers are taking the position that if your glass is replaced by Porsche with OEM glass, they will only reimburse you what the expense would have been using non-OEM glass and labor. I'm not saying don't file the claim. Just be...

    Panoramic Roof With Variable Light Control

    Here’s what I got on eBay and a couple of pics. I can’t attest to the resilience if you plan on putting it in and removing it frequently. Pretty lightweight and not real taut (a bit of sag in the middle ~2” when installed). Still, blocks the sun quite well and the color blends with the headliner.

    Panoramic Roof With Variable Light Control

    I bought a clip in black mesh shade on eBay for under $100. Installed it nearly a year ago and it has worked perfectly.

    Recall Letter .. need instruction on ho to get reimbursement.

    And surprisingly quick response from Porsche. I got my check within 30 days of filing the e-claim.

    Taycan Owner in Florida USA Sues Insurance Company

    Don't expect other carriers to handle it any differently. Once one makes a move like this, others follow to save claim dollars. They simply change their internal claims handling guidelines so they adjust the losses uniformly.

    Will not take more than 150kW. Is something wrong with the battery?

    Agree with other posters. I got 225 briefly one time that quickly dropped to 150 and then gradually below 100. My typical experience at EA on a 350 is 130-160 to start and below 100 after I hit about 60%.

    Is Porsche Selling Our Driving Data?

    There’s a trend among insurers to total EV’s rather than repair them because it’s the optimal way to avoid excess rental fees and increased parts and labor costs. Not to mention the liability created for the insurer if a faulty repair turns into a BBQ’d EV. Write a check and go onto the next...

    No Porsche Extended Warranty Available?

    I bought this for my used, non-CPO 2021 Turbo. Was quoted these exact prices by my local dealer. Called around to other dealers and got what I wanted at a good discount. Shop around… the markup on this program gives the dealer a lot of latitude in what they charge you.

    Protecting touch screens on the Taycan?

    I had Xpel done to mine and the finger smudges are noticeably less than the stock screen.
