    Reset the car for a new owner

    Make sure you separately wipe Homelink if you had that set up. Also manually erase your home address from the nav, if stored.

    Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package Sucks

    It's buried in the technical documentation, but the Weissach package does indeed eliminate the Taycan rear doors. What you are seeing in photos are the Hinged Behind Seat Locking Access Panels With Handles. This should hopefully clear up any further confusion.

    Question regarding prewiring for dash cam & aftermarket dashcam

    Altering the ECU or splicing wiring could be argued as modifications that may affect other systems and thereby void your warranty. In the USA, it would be very difficult for Porsche to claim a dash camera had any effect on another system. Maybe the 12V battery but that's not generally covered...

    Do you sell the charger with the car?

    Pull it out of the frunk. It serves no useful purpose and adds weight to the car:p

    Purchased Yesterday, Now Noticed scratches/holes under the car

    Looks like someone routinely drove over a spot that they were too low to clear. I'm with the Don't Panic camp until you get it evaluated and see whether this is cosmetic or structural. If you like the car, have them work with you to get everything ship shape.

    GM follows Ford with NACS Tesla charge port adoption -- time to ditch CCS1 (at least the physcial design)

    As above I prefer to use Shell gas in my ICE, but it's great to know there are other useable gas stations along my route if I run into a need. Isn't that exactly the point being made about opening SuperCharger access?

    Question regarding prewiring for dash cam & aftermarket dashcam

    I wrote an install thread about adding a Thinkware dash cam and the Blackvue should be very similar. Dash cam install link if it helps

    Initial setup tips

    I may have missed it, but did you answer where you are taking delivery from, if not the dealer? As for EA charging, it definitely follows the car for the balance of the 3 years. If purchased through a dealer, they probably gave you a three month Sirius XM trial and you can move an existing...

    Florida deploys mobile chargers along evacuation routes

    This is a drop in the bucket, admittedly, but an interesting idea to deploy temporary EV chargers along evacuation routes. ...with so many evacuating at the same time, it can put extra stress on charging infrastructure. To help relieve that pressure, the Florida Department of Emergency...

    Ingenious -- or crazy? -- idea to fit Taycan into garage

    My vote on the ramp idea is no. If there is room in the driveway and the neighborhood allows it, maybe put up an outdoor garage with flaps on the sides. But since you are renting, I'm also suggesting you move. :)

    Decision on buying Facelift or Pre-Facelift

    The beauty of choice and it's great that you are getting what you want. Ref battery deg, I think there have been enough studies now that people should feel comfortable that their battery SOH will remain high enough to last well beyond the car's lifetime. Charging infrastructure and limited...

    CPO 4S - sedan or CT & must have options?

    Welcome and good luck in your search. The chase is half the fun! I like setting individual options to my liking so the Sport Chrono was a must for me although I didn't care about the clock. If that is important to you, you will definitely want that option with the steering wheel dial. I...

    2023 Taycan GTS - 48K miles - Rate this deal..

    Mine never gave me any issues, but it seems like a reasonable cost for some comfort, given the model's history.

    2023 Taycan GTS - 48K miles - Rate this deal..

    FYI, in the United States if you buy from a non-Porsche dealer (not a private sale), you cannot CPO the car. I purchased from an Audi dealer - still under VAG - and Porsche USA was empathetic but also emphatic that there was no way I could CPO the car. Having said that, if the car appears to...

    Need advice on purchasing or leasing Taycan GTS

    I was at my dealer last week and saw insane leases being offered on the Taycan. I also have always purchased my cars but I think all the EV unknowns and current US sentiment might make a lease the more attractive option today.

    2025 Taycan Turbo GT: The First to Hit 60 MPH in under 2 Seconds! - Car and Driver Review Test

    Generally add between 0.2 and 0.3 seconds based on prior tests they've posted. The GT did do a very low 1.9 before adding in rollout, so still very impressive. Edit to add a Car and Driver article discussing their testing procedures and the rollout Car and Driver "We're Making a Slight Change...

    2025 Taycan Turbo GT: The First to Hit 60 MPH in under 2 Seconds! - Car and Driver Review Test

    The full article goes into a lot of detail and adds disclosures that the tires contributed greatly to their result. As for slower accel times for the Tesla, CD does not test on prepped drag surfaces and they average results from runs in two directions.

    2025 Taycan Turbo GT: The First to Hit 60 MPH in under 2 Seconds! - Car and Driver Review Test

    Yes, they do that in all their standardized testing, as of a few years ago, unless specifically stating otherwise.
