  1. Any way to deal with delivery after the tariff date?

    For Americans waiting for their Porsche deliveries, I guess they could substitute a Corvette or Mustang. But then I've never seen a thread on this forum where someone traded their Porsche for a Corvette of Mustang. Or maybe a Dodge Charger Hellcat.
  2. Any way to deal with delivery after the tariff date?

    April 2 is when this gets interesting. Trump is now basically picking fights with the entire world on all fronts at the same time so the blowback is going to come from a lot of different directions. There has been some consequence to the US on a limited basis so far, but this is going to go...
  3. Battery degradation - how to get replacement under warranty

    The only test that is valid for a warranty claim is the Porsche test done by an authorized Porsche dealer. Out of interest, can you ask a Porsche dealer to do the test and what the cost would be? The rest is a lot of DYI stuff.
  4. "Taycan lets you drive with shorted out battery modules"

    Something doesn't add up. The law requires manufacturers' to report defects to the government and owners. Including details of the defect and what precautions that need to be taken and correct the defect. I doubt there is a massive coverup to hide this. Car manufacturers know what happens to...
  5. The Chinese Xiaomi SU7, which mimics Porsche’s Taycan.

    I once used my wife to navigate, that kind of sucked too. And there is no off button.
  6. Taycan: "The EV that offers the best resale value after 3 years" - article

    Hopefully the depreciation curve improves over the years. But I am not seeing too many 2028 Taycans on the road at the moment.
  7. Taycan: "The EV that offers the best resale value after 3 years" - article

    Any supporting authorities for this? Pretty sure that if he bid that for a three year old Taycan, his bid would be hit pdq.
  8. A simple reason why Porsche is in serious long-term trouble

    For my wife not me. I want the good stuff. But I might borrow it every now and then. Pick up some stuff from home depot. But practically, cars are not selling because the average person can't afford them and they need cheaper options.
  9. A simple reason why Porsche is in serious long-term trouble

    Apparently speaking from a parallel universe. I could see getting the wife a $30,000 Chinese chariot rather than a $90.000 Macan for driving about town.
  10. US: "Senate Republicans Propose $1000 Tax on EVs to Fund Road Repair" - article

    Yesterday paid $5.00 CDN for a dozen eggs in Canada. That's for the fancier eggs from chickens that get treated nice. That's $3.50 US and we have bird flu too.
  11. US: "Senate Republicans Propose $1000 Tax on EVs to Fund Road Repair" - article

    I'm not sure that people are really clear on the level of the current attack on EV's in the US. Including sabotage of charging stations, every program that provided any sort of incentive to EV's being cancelled or suspended, Tesla's self immolation with it's wannabe brown shirt leader. Could...
  12. A simple reason why Porsche is in serious long-term trouble

    Porsche's big problem is that it is now a public company and not private and there appear to be no sources of growth to support the original valuation. And with all the tariffs and other auto industry problems they are in a bad place. The stock came out Sep 2022 at 84 euros per share with a...
  13. CAN SMALL ANIMALS ACCESS TAYCAN WIRING?

    I had a red squirrel get into my Taycan in the garage and chew through the wiring for one of the front headlights. And left a stash of nuts behind. I now always keep the garage doors closed and and bird food in a sealed plastic box.
  14. Porsche and Tariffs [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    Nope. We are talking about new US tariffs on Europe. Here is the BBC.
  15. Porsche and Tariffs [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    There has been little discussion on this forum as to the effect of tariffs on Porsche. This from Bloomberg.
  16. Did an OTA software update change my car settings?

    I blame these glitches on cosmic rays. Porsche is a magnet for them.
  17. Cold Climate Question

    You don't need a wakeup. Just set the charge to 80% and plug it in every night. If leaving for an extended period, then refer to the attachment above.
  18. Do I need to extend the warranty?

    So this is a trickster?
  19. Do I need to extend the warranty?

    Wow! $4,500 for a 10 year warranty. The Porsche 3 year extended warranty I got at time of purchase on MY 2020 , valid until December 2027 was for $4,600 US (converted to USD). If I lived in Florida or California, I would ask if they do home owners insurance.
