You know, I wish it was true. Because that would mean we actually had working OTA. (no, I don't count Maps and News app updates as working OTA)

No kidding. I don't think "garbage" captures the full extent of the crime. I wonder whether the designers in charge realize just how badly they shat the bed. There's a long list of older bimmers that have their loyal fans. I doubt anything in the last decade will have any real following...

You seem to have an issue with Tesla drivers that I don't share. If enough non-Tesla drivers mis-behave, they will come up with rules to clean up the behavior. Odds are, those rules are going to impact the lives of every other non-Tesla driver too. Not sure I want to see where we end up...

"If Tesla was serious about opening the network and accommodating everyone they would have just made a CCS/Tesla converter to sell like they did for Tesla owners to use a CCS charger. They did not. Why is that?" So far that's probably the most interesting comment in this thread. I wondered...

I'm not sure I'd call it a "braking failure" - and it would not stop me from buying a Taycan. (Other things might - for example I find the transmission really off-putting. I have a much bigger issue with things that were clearly designed poorly as part of it being their first EV.)

The issue on the Taycan is not reproducible enough in my experience to state exact parameters (or else I'd already have followed up with the dealer). But it does pop up often enough to remind me that it's real. Anecdotally: doesn't seem to be when it's brutally cold, but definitely winter...

I'm glad there's a complaint. Maybe Porsche will actually look into it. I've witnessed a few times that the brakes didn't engage nearly as much as expected and I had a distinct "long pedal feel" followed by a panicky slamming of the brakes. Always happened to me during conservative driving...

If it's possible, it's beyond my level of tetris kung-fu. Perhaps if you are willing to have one banging around in front, sitting on the front passenger seat. No way you are doing all that without damaging the interior. Edit - I've tried and abandoned the idea.

I don't think it will crush fingers. But I have seen it painfully pinch. It's spring loaded, but it packs quite some strength. I've had kids get their fingers/hands pinched before. Overall, this is another area of the car that is IMHO rather dumb. In retracted state still gives unfamiliar...

That depends on whether Tesla prioritizes utilization of those "out of the way" chargers, or wants to rub it in that only Teslas can road trip through Arizona without getting stranded. (or pick your favorite long road trip) They could have opened these up anytime... so getting higher...

Honestly looks like the White House was looking for something to celebrate. 7500, but only 3500 have to be superchargers (the rest can be destination chargers etc.). This is basically "we'll take tax payer money for some of the new capacity, which we will then make publicly available". That does...

I expect that like any company and engineering organization, they prioritize issues. And that negative publicity is one of the many criteria part of their prioritization process. And supply chain issues can be escalated, alternative solutions can be explored, or one can just say "meh, a...

Well, depending on where that Taycan was parked, the criminal in question might have had a lot more time to break into the car than I would want to spend in a burning vehicle while rescue personnel work on the glass. :)

2021. I'll dig out the production date when I'm home if that's useful info

The "tough to break in case of accident" aspect is what I always wonder about. Shouldn't there be regulations around that? Or do all first responders know immediately what to do with that type of glass? I guess the same for all the electric doors, and especially stuff like Tesla falcon doors...

Mine just stopped working. Sigh.

Yeah, I think that's the missing part I didn't think about. 28 cars isn't even a days production, didn't make sense to me how you'd swap out parts, or have a different batch from suppliers for that. But if the majority of affected cars didn't make it to the US, then that works out.

How does "28 cars affected" even work? They used a different piece for 28 cars? The supplier traced a problem to 28 parts and 28 parts only? (and Porsche somehow tracks exactly which 28 cars those 28 pieces went into?) Or Porsche incorrectly assembled 28 cars, but despite doing so incorrectly...

That's a fair point. I guess the advice to OP is to really have hard look at the rear seats and determine whether they really truly meet the expectations. The car is much more cramped in the back than exterior dimensions would lead you to believe. In my case, if the spoiled brats are going to...

I came from a 911 GTS. If life had an UNDO button, I'd be slamming it. Specifically relevant for me: 4- as a 4 seater automatic the Taycan is more practical. I can fit 4 adults in it and my adult children can drive it when home. No, no you can't. Unless your adults are all small, and the drive...
