Hi

What tools do you suggest to protect my future Porche Taycan GT?
Are there any good hardware options - the club?
Does software work in today's era of hacking?

you're overthinking this. just treat it like any other car. Without the keyfob the car can't be stolen**.

EDIT: i guess i should clarify any car can be stolen, but without the keyfob it will be extremely difficult.

Any car can be stolen. Taycan is no different than other cars. Follow common sense. The club might deter casual joyriders, but the professionals actually prefer it, as it works better than a crowbar to break the steering wheel lock, and you don't have to bring your own crowbar.

... Or demand a 3 year as new option in your insurance and you'll actually hope someone steals your car after 2 years to get a new one ?

I was concerned about security due to past experiences.

However, since being a member on here for over 2 years, I am only aware of 3 being stolen:
One member here with keys swiped at the dealer in US.
One uk one on YT.
And one other member here.

I don't think they are high on thieves lists yet. I assume it's a hard car to sell stolen due to its high connectivity needs with Porsche. Normally they are shipped abroad and sold there.
But who wants to pay a large sum for a stolen used Taycan, which needs to be connected to Porsche to have functionality?

And used parts demand is still low I guess.

That's the impression I have, at least in the UK. I'm not even aware of any Porsches getting stolen, though I assume it happens.
IMO, vandalism (in which I include careless door dings) is the greater security concern.
