  1. A Taycan GTS owner drives a Taycan base model loaner - comparison observations

    The biggest difference I see with the taycans are two things. Leather vs non-leather interiors (partial leather) fast or not so fast. beyond that, all the other features are negligible and personal preference. overall, I’m happy there are a lot of folks that consider the taycan an...
  2. Bottomed out in parking lots - damaged side skirts and jack stand bracket (repair info inside)

    Thanks for sharing. Certainly a great reminder to raise the cars. So happy I purchased the adaptive suspension feature.
  3. REVERSING CAMERA

    I feel you. But let me say this. The Tesla cameras are even more stupid. When I bought my X plaid, nobody told me there wouldn’t be any sensors and a front camera. To this day, I am so pissed. Crappiest parking system in the world = Tesla. I hate the Porsche cameras, but it certainly is a step...
  4. Difference between 2020 Taycan and a 2023 Taycan

    Older PCM hardware. I’ve noticed the speed of the touchscreen much slower in my first taycan vs my new one now.
  5. CPO transfer?

    If you have the paperwork it certainly will, but now I’m curious, does Porsche keep a record of the CPO?
  6. The Science and Math - Battery Charging

    After weeks of bugging Porsche Manufacturing for answers to my EV battery questions specifically for my GTS Gross Capacity = 93.4kWh, 396 cells Usable Capacity = 83.7kWh, Porsche defines usable capacity by the following parameters: - Discharge rate ( - Expected end user temperature operating...
  7. Parking Light Feature

    Thx all for validating. And great find on the manual. At first thought, I was starting to believe it was some remnant feature no longer recognized/needed. Like a human tailbone.
  8. Front license plate states

    Must be a rural town? They wouldn't do that in the big cities. Most , if not all, large departments frown upon those types of stops. It prevents officers from responding to the major crimes and safety issues that officers, departments and public officials are measured against. And if you...
  9. Parking Light Feature

    Thanks. Yeah, I was trying to figure out the wattage on the parking lights. I used to leave them on with the BMW whenever I'd park on a busy street. Made me feel a little better nobody would side swipe me. But I remember the battery draining once long ago and never wanted to be stranded ever...
  10. Parking Light Feature

    Yeah I don’t find it in the manual either. But the way to activate it. When you turn off your car. Just turn your signal left and the “one sided parking light” message will activate. Walk away from your car and eventually the left side front led lights and left side rear light will light up...
  11. Parking Light Feature

    My 7Li has it. And I noticed (and by accident) that the Taycan also has a "side parking light" feature. And ashamedly, for the past 20 years, I've never once asked or wondered what the feature was ever for. We'll, I looked it up and I guess in Europe, its very common to leave a parking light...
  12. Front license plate states

    Live in California. Currently a reserve police officer. Personally, Haven't had a front license plate for 20+ years. Little insight In a nutshell. Police/CHP don't care. And honestly, 99% of the time, is never the reason we pull folks over. I remember a decade ago during a morning standup...
  13. Anyone regret going from 20s to 21s?

    In the last 20 years, we haven't had a wheel less than 21". We have/had an EQS, 7Li, Rivian, X-Plaid. Anything less than 21" on these cars just doesn't look as nice as they were meant to look. And in the past 20 years, suspension systems have improved dramatically that you don't even tell the...
  14. Rear headrests with Porsche logo

    Logo in the rear 100%. Who cares what it costs. These are Porsches. But seriously, if you like em. Get em. If you don’t. They forget em. I remember my dad with his classic crests back in the 70s. It was mandatory. .
  15. Got it in writing…?

    Hey OP, Been through this with several CPOs with Porsche. Let’s clarify. For the sake of simplicity, there are 2 warranties for taycan (there’s really 4 categories): the new car limited warranty and the battery warranty. the new car warranty is 4 years/50 whatever comes first The battery...
  16. CPO sold to me by Porsche dealer with damaged part.

    Excellent! Terrible you had to go through that ideal. Certainly hope nobody else has to deal with that.
  17. CPO sold to me by Porsche dealer with damaged part.

    Thought this was an interesting thread with ton of misinformation. Sorry for bringing this back to life but just had to chime in so the BS info doesn’t live in perpetuity. For one, if you have a true CPO car, your car is more valuable (by several thousand) than a identical car (same spec...
  18. Is there any Taycan morning drive event in Bay Area CA?

    When’s the next meet?
  19. Screen protector now available on Porsche Store
