    CarPlay / Bluetooth Drops in Same Location

    I have a similar spot that drops my CarPlay every time - for mine, it looks to be caused by a local hospital with a helicopter - I'm assuming it's the frequency they use for the helicopter (since I don't have the issue passing by any other hospitals). Note that this isn't unique to the Taycan -...

    2023 Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo GTS - range

    I also have a '23 GTS ST, and at 100% I show 280 miles of range, and I'm usually a pretty aggressive driver even day-to-day. I'm at 24,000 miles, so a bit more than you as well. Curious if you have a more aggressive tire compound that might create more frictional loss? I'm just running on...

    Rear-ended - Repairable?

    The first one was just the nearest car repair place - because it was in the evening, they were all closed and I didn't know where else to tow the car. The next day, it became clear that they wouldn't work with an electric car. Worked with insurance and they found the 2nd place, and paid to get...

    CT to ST

    I traded my 2020 4S for a 2023 GTS ST, and don't regret it at all. I do have a couple bumps along my work route that I have to go slower over than my 4S because I now scrape lightly in the GTS, and with the RS wheels my range dropped by ~15% which I wasn't counting on (I'm sure that is a...

    EV Collision Repair--WSJ: Costs/Wait Time

    I can relate to the article - when my Taycan was rear-ended, it took almost a month just to find a shop that would take the car and work on it. It actually had nothing to do with it beng an EV - the aluminum body seemed to be the bigger factor in finding a shop that could do the repairs...

    2023 Taycan GTS ST with Stealth XPEL wrap

    I rolled it into the purchase of the car, but it was $7500 - I got a quote from a local place that came to $6900, so I could have saved a little, but it was easier to do it with the trade-in of the car instead.

    Porsche Taycan Advent Calendar

    Saw this today and thought people would get a good laugh - it's Porsche's 2023 Taycan Advent Calendar! Sadly, looks like it's not available in the US. :P Porsche Taycan Advent Calendar | PORSCHE SHOP

    Bit of advice ….

    So sorry to hear that you are having issues - my 4S had the same red error and had to have the whole HV battery replaced just a couple months ago. I thought the HV battery issue was just a 2020 "feature", but I see you have a GTS ST... mind if I ask what year? I just stepped into a 2023 GTS...

    Switched from 4S to GTS ST - significant reduction in range?

    Yeah, I was often able to get close to 300 miles in my 4S, and if I go off the range indicator right now, I'd be lucky to get 240 miles... but it is starting to creep up. I'll have some longer trips coming up for the Holidays and will have to see how it does.

    Switched from 4S to GTS ST - significant reduction in range?

    Yep, both have the larger 96 kWh battery

    Switched from 4S to GTS ST - significant reduction in range?

    Definitely faster, but like everything else, it's not such a huge increase that I'd say it's everything. I don't notice any difference in comfort in "Normal" mode, but in "Sport" mode I feels a lot tighter which I like. Mostly, there are a lot of other upgrades that I didn't pay for in my 4S...

    2023 Taycan GTS ST with Stealth XPEL wrap

    Jet Black Metallic - I like how in the sun you can still get the metallic flakes to shine through - gives it a neat effect in my opinion.

    2023 Taycan GTS ST with Stealth XPEL wrap

    Finally got a chance to wash my GTS and see it in the sun with the XPEL wrap - love out it turned out! Just need to get some clear front corner markers again!

    Switched from 4S to GTS ST - significant reduction in range?

    Thanks everyone! I'll give it a few months and see how it ends up changing.

    Switched from 4S to GTS ST - significant reduction in range?

    Got the dreaded 'Electrical System Failure' on my 2020 4S finally after 40,000 miles and it required a new HV battery (which Porsche replaced for free). However, while at the dealer dropping off the car, they had a 2023 GTS ST that I fell in love with, and they were able to offer me a deal I...
