    Taycan Extended Warranty

    Agreed, it seems the dealerships are given a recommended list price vs. a buy rate and then they can offer pricing anywhere in that range. Some dealers are definitely more willing to offer pricing which reduces their profit than others.

    Taycan Extended Warranty

    My pleasure! ? My wife and I were at Baguette et Chocolat a few weeks ago and that memory came up. I agree, my Taycan is my favorite car I've owned and I decided to buy the extended warranty to enjoy it for at least another 4 years while reducing any concerns about it's long-term reliability.

    Taycan Extended Warranty

    I sent out a request for quotes to 15 different dealers. Most were in Texas and the others were dealers who others on this forum have mentioned such as: Chandler, AZ Carlsbad, CA Beaverton, OR Ultimately, I ended up purchasing a 96-month, 60,000-mile, $250 deductible VSP plan from Kelli Parker...

    Houston -> Austin road trip with usage numbers

    I'll echo Watchesandburgers regarding charging locations in Austin. I've only ever used the EA location at the Round Rock Outlet mall and have had decent charge times there but its location on the north side of Austin isn't always convenient. Charging at either the North or South Austin Porsche...

    Houston -> Austin road trip with usage numbers

    Where did you choose to charge on your trip? I've traveled between Austin and Houston a few times in my Taycan and have charged at the EA chargers in Columbus and Katy Mills Mall. When I stop in Columbus on my way to Houston I generally have somewhere between 35-40% charge remaining and I've...

    TSB: Warranty Extension for Air Conditioning System Servo Motors - July 2, 2024

    I received this letter today regarding the Air Conditioning System Servo Motors. I can't recall the last time I repositioned the angle of airflow so assume that not using the servos avoids the chance of them being rendered inoperable. That said, I'll spend some time today or tomorrow adjusting...

    New Charger-related recall (for the 240 V cable) (NHTSA ID 23V-841)

    I just received my check a few minutes ago via Fedex signature required delivery. Request was submitted on 4 March so just under 4 weeks from request to receipt of the reimbursement check.

    List your replacement EVSE for the NHTSA ID 23V-841 campaign

It's currently selling on Amazon for $644 after a 15% discount. I sent in my email to Porsche yesterday with the receipt...

    Anyone tried charging F 150 Lightning with Porsche wall charger?

    Now that you've had it for a few weeks, what do you think of the Ford F-150 Lightning? How about in comparison to your Taycan?

    Radio repeat Taycan

    I'm familiar with that as well, very annoying. When I'm waiting for my son to get out of TaeKwonDo and I play Sudoku when CarPlay is active, the audio playing through the vehicle's speakers will switch over to the music playing in the Sudoku app whether I'm listening to FM radio or Apple Music...

    Radio repeat Taycan

    I seem to have a slightly different (but related?) issue. Typically, when I get in the car I connect to CarPlay so that I can use Google Maps to guide me to my destination. I usually tune to a local FM station rather than playing music through CarPlay. It seems that within 5 minutes the radio...

    Caution - Inspection BS - Dealership BS - Austin TX

    My guess is that it is the standard recommendation to have an alignment when putting new tires on. The way my Taycan drives/rides also gives me no indication that it needs an alignment. It remains the best ride I've ever had in a vehicle I've owned. I've been pricing out the Michelin...

    Caution - Inspection BS - Dealership BS - Austin TX

    May I ask what tires you went with at Discount Tires? I just took my 2021 4S in to Austin North for the WNP9 update and was told all four of my tires are at 3mm and should be replaced. I just passed 17K miles. They quoted me $2,850-ish for Pirelli Cinturato P7's with an alignment.

    New recall on Taycans: ANA6 center/passenger displays and control panel do not start, RTV flickering image

    I see that the ANA6 recall affects my MY21 4S as well. Add it to the list... Once can only hope that the reprogramming will update the MY21 to the same PCM 6.0 version as the newer models, but I find that unlikely.

    How I fixed the door rattles

    I'm hoping to get some time this week to try this as well. Any chance you took pictures with the panel off? I'm curious what the hooks you're referring to look like.

    How I fixed the door rattles

    Perfect! I hear a similar buzzing so hopefully the same fix will eliminate it for me. I'll read through the thread thoroughly and take a crack at it. Thank you!

    How I fixed the door rattles

    I'm also hearing noise coming from the dash screen area. It sounds like it is coming from between the steering wheel and the wind screen - around the top left of the dash screen or just behind it perhaps? I'm going to try to add some foam to try to eliminate the squeaking. Where did you add...

    Orange County, CA

    I do love driving in my Taycan at 85+ on SH-130 heading northbound from the airport and going past the Tesla Gigafactory and seeing the 300+ Model 3s sitting idle in the south parking lot. :cool:
