Keep or get new

[PaulaJP]

I have my Taycan for 3 years and I love it. It has 45,000 miles. Can anyone provide feedback on higher mileage Taycan, any issues keeping the car until 60,000-70,000 miles?

I’m at 54,123 miles, so not quite your target audience. My Taycan was manufactured July 2020, so almost five years ago. Warranty repairs include new HV battery, new radiator fans/shroud, new brake lines, and new software, which brought them up to the newer designs. That plus the inside and outside protective treatments from @Adrian@GlasWerksDMV and the ECU upgrade from @redshift-performance mean that my 2020 Taycan looks and feels better than new.

My 4S is one of the first out of factory in 2020, while I haven't gone but 35k miles, it has been absolutely bullet proof. My only complaint is that the tires get noisy and wear out much too soon,

How many years are we from the next facelift? That would sway my choice of keep vs replace

Good question.....perhaps in the 2027-8 timeframe?....no spy photos yet that I know of.
I am waiting, not-so-patiently, for the Cayman E (i.e. baby Taycan)
At that point, I will have to decide either to trade my 4S or sell my '09 997.2S.
I don't have room and/can't afford more that three Porsches.

Similar to you, my 2022 has about 52k miles, a few months into my CPO 2year unlimited warranty and a bit modified. Still more than content with it; however, I need to stay off these forums because the more I see threads about a Turbo GT or how good active ride is, I'm going to want to move on lol.

Me too but I suspect I'll trade the Taycan for the Cayman E and keep the 987. The electric Porsches are great in the Grand Tourer tradition but don't have that direct feeback of the road through the wheel and the seat and I miss the engine braking to balance it through corners on the throttle. But I do miss that endless surge of electric power on the ICE Caymans.

I sympathize...I just drove Watkins Glen with my '09 997.2S, and it brought back why I would be crazy to let it go....afterall, they don't make them any more.

My guess is we'll see something announced in late 2028 for production after the summer factory refit of 2029. But with the way EVs are going at the moment I wouldn't be surprised if we were +1 year on that estimate.
