    Build Back Better -- EV Tax Credit

    The BBB legislation already provides for EV purchases to remain eligible for the $7,500 credit just as before, regardless of when they occur. No existing EV credit will be eliminated by BBB. The only EV credits that will have limited applicability after BBB is enacted are those that will be...

    Carbon fiber passenger side dash panel?

    Same here. Got the whole Xpel Interior kit, so gloss Xpel on all display screens, piano black surfaces, and door sills. Wears like iron, cleans easily, looks great. No glare problems, even in this land of high intensity sunshine 320+ days/year. Rarely, the finger-oil smudges on the center...

    2021 Taycan Review Motortrend

    It's a valid point. I have done a few road trips that were mainly superhighway miles, but the vast majority of my mileage has been "combined" driving. In the stop-and-go, around town, I typically don't try to get to the next obvious stop at maximum speed. However, on the express routes with...

    2021 Taycan Review Motortrend

    Chiming in with a third Taycan (a Turbo) over 3.8, at over 5800 miles. I like to use kWh/100 miles, for more resolution. Mine's 26.4 and falling (will probably soon rise with cold weather on the horizon).

    Rear Seat Covers

    I got this one, which I use almost continuously. I chauffer my daughter's 70-lb hound around town a lot. Also, I have a 2-year-old baby grandson in a rear car seat that is installed much of he time. This cover performs well, and is versatile. The front seat backrest protector zips up the...

    Brake Dust?

    I guess we've gone tangential-topic here. So after this one, I'll direct message you with anything more about it on this forum. It's good to know you're going to put the Taycan to a lot of different uses. That's been the case for me, too. I've hauled cats in traps (we do an outdoor cat trap...

    Taycan waterproof?

    ...and time on-hand.

    Brake Dust?

    I needed to select one of the colors offered in animal-free Racetex, and I got the Black/Slate Gray. It sounds like it might be dull, but to me it really comes off sleek, in a stylish, contrasting two-tone. The Black on top is a good one for avoiding glare on the touchscreen displays, very...

    How good is your heated steering wheel!?

    My Racetex wheel is just right: warms up my frozen hands quickly, but it's not uncomfortable to let the heat stay switched on after that.

    Heads up display

    I didn't find it immediately, but after a little playing around: You just click the selected tube control (rightmost steering wheel button) until the HUD is selected (next click after the rightmost tube is selected), click the right scroll wheel to bring up the HUD control menu on the HUD...

    Heads up display

    The Taycan HUD has a very effective Brightness setting that sticks quite well, so you don't have to repeatedly set it. Rarely, after an OTA update I need to go back in and set it again. It would be interesting to know where the dealer had it set when you tested it. PS- For those who feel that...

    Hazard Warning Lamp Reprogram...

    Yes, I coincidentally experienced the warning just a few weeks ago, and was very pleased with the way it works. Too bad US regulations will once again take a useful function from us. It happened just before I heard or read anything about this function and the recall. I was starting out quickly...

    Brake Dust?

    Like the OP's mamba-green image, I've got silver-rimmed Mission Es (except with black-spokes) and PCCBs on my Turbo, and after 6 months with a few cases of hard braking and fortnightly gentle detailing the car and wheels (not with a spray-washer, but with soft microfiber and my loving hands)...

    Security while driving your Porsche

    Sounds like a nice life, being in the warm latitudes part-time. I've only been to the Baja west coast and south end, but would love to explore Mexico City and some Mexican wilderness areas someday. I've got to persuade a stubborn spouse on that. Avoiding a car-jacking would certainly be...

    noise insulated glass?

    I think great insights can be attained by observing the interior noise levels while stopped at red lights at some noisy intersections. Test drive and make these observations in both glass-versions, and contrast. I've only tried the non-insulated once, but the additional interior noise level was...

    Security while driving your Porsche

    Not sure what might warrant hazarding the extreme danger inherent in a red light violation. There might be a rare daytime case or two that could be worth it, but we're talking edge cases here. That said, sincere expressions of courage are ever essential. If I start by waving a white flag (or...
