Had my first road trip from Las Vegas to Palm Springs last weekend and had free charging the past 2-3 days. The trip was relatively uneventful with very fast charging stop in Barstow, although 3 of 4 350kW chargers were "unavailable". I used the 150kW charger and was able to go from 20% to 95%...
I don't really know what that means, but if you want to call me a "Fanboy" because I liked my Tesla Model S and Model Y and Taycan and can't wait for a Rivian R1S and possibly a Lucid Gravity, more power to you! I prefer the term 'Fanman" though as I haven't been a boy for many years.
None at all. I had to diddle with fuses for the door handles once and that fixed it for the next 5 years. ZERO other issues. We had to have my wife's Mercedes GLE 450 towed to the dealership 3 days ago for a software malfunction. My Panamera, Cayenne Turbo, BMW X5 all had multiple issues and...
People always talk about Tesla's early cars and the "problems" they had. I bought my first Tesla Model S P85 in 2012 and it was one of the most reliable and trouble free cars I've ever owned. I've since bought another Model S P100D, and currently own 2 Model Y's and my Taycan 4S. I can tell you...
I owned a Tesla Model S P100D, (faster than my 4S in acceleration from 0-60 and 1/4-mile), and I test drove and initially ordered a Taycan Turbo S, because I usually just went for the highest performing "fully loaded" spec. I am so happy I have a Taycan 4S, it is plenty fast enough for all the...
I have 4 in my gated neighborhood, 2 identical white 4S's (one is mine), a red Turbo S, and a black Turbo. I see one in Las Vegas a lot more often than I though I would, still have not seen a Cross Turismo in the wild yet here.
I didn’t have the option for a solid roof when I bought my Taycan 4S. I really like the panoramic roof though and like that it gives more view out and feels more open. It was 118 degrees here in Las Vegas when I left the golf course yesterday and pre cooling the car before I got in really helps...
Lucid is not my cup of tea, but I’m glad they are coming to market and I agree with others “The more EV’s, the merrier!” It would be a mistake to think that because it is expensive and first year for a new company that they can’t make a quality, reliable product though. I bought something...
Thanks for the info! I have been using the full load as on the door sticker, I'm a pretty good sized man so I may still need the full load pressure! Haven't noticed a harsher ride or any premature wear though either.
I run the Porsche recommended pressures at around 40psi front and 44psi rear. I will probably try Michelin or Pirelli next time for comparison, although I've never been a fan of Pirelli as they seemed to wear really fast for me on previous cars.
I have a little over 10,000 miles on my Continentals and they are still in good shape front and rear. I'm hoping to get to 18-20k on them. They are fine for daily driving, not the best for performance driving, but comfortable and smooth with decent handling in most weather.
This was a really good review, and I believe gave an accurate assessment of the Taycan 4S driving experience. The car is heavy as all current EV's are, and cannot handle like a 3000lb sports car, physics rules. The car has plenty of power for anyone though and handles as well as a 5000lb luxury...
So sad that this has happened to you, and you should be commended for such restrained and civil response to this vandalism. That person will get what is coming their way in this life or the next, it seems like they may have already had it pretty bad to stoop to this behavior to get their...
I got my recall notice last week and first available appointment for update was August 30th. I'm a little concerned that it may take that long and don't want to have a problem, so far I have not had an issue related to this recall. I had the 2021 software update completed about 1-2 months ago...
It is a pretty cool sound and my passengers like it more than I ever thought I would like it. It is a very "futuristic" sound, and makes you feel like you are in a spaceship during acceleration and braking. I use it all the time and like it and thought it was a no-brainer for $500. You can...
I think it would be great for Tesla to concentrate on the things we like about our Taycan. The fit and finish, luxury interior and materials, braking and handling, great acceleration that is sustainable many times over, fast charging, and adequate range. If they can come up with a real world...
I have the power doors and have had zero problems with them in 7 months and over 7000 miles of driving. I really like the look with the little fins and the cool factor of opening them and closing them with a swipe. Highly recommend them.
I am currently in a 4S loaner and it has a lot of the same equipment as my car which is optioned pretty heavily similar to yours, and I think you are 100% accurate. I love my car but would have still loved it without a lot of the options I got. My car has everything I wanted in it, full leather...
2020 Taycan 4S loaner today, Carrera white with 20" aero wheels and new software update installed. Great experience so far with the Taycan loaners (twice now).
