  1. What Happens To Us After 8 Years? (When battery warranty expires)

    My feeling exactly. Assume that you paid $100,000 for your car and it lasts for 10 years. Forgetting the time value of money the car costs $10,000 per year.........or, $833.00 per month. Not being flippant, but in my book that is a pretty low cost for driving a Porsche for a full 10 years...
  2. Stuck in CPO Limbo for 2 Months — Battery Part Held in Customs. What Should I Do?

    Time to find another dealership and sale rep. I have always felt that they need me a lot more than I need them. With the number of Taycans available you should have no problem in finding a comparable vehicle at another dealership. Always remember - you are the guy spending the money and...
  3. Stuck in CPO Limbo for 2 Months — Battery Part Held in Customs. What Should I Do?

    I cannot speak to the part that you are waiting for.................but the passenger seat sensor went out on my 2021 4S which triggered the airbag warning light. Took my car in for replacement of the sensor.................almost 6 weeks later the dealership asked if I could bring the loaner...
  4. Taycan 18 way seat Discomfort

    Different strokes.......................I am shorter 5'6", and 170 lbs................but just turned 74. I have 18 ways on my 2021 4S and wouldn't have it any other way, but that is just me. I like the way that the bolsters fill up on entry and give me a 'locked in' feeling. Yes, entry and...
  5. To wax or not to wax

    I am old, old, school................remembering washing and waxing the family Olds 88 (1955 or so) in front of the house. Probably put a bunch of scratches in the paint during the process. Today...................I use a foam cannon with microfiber towels to dry. And about every other month...
  6. Forum members from 2020, 2021, 20222: do you still have Taycan?

    Me too. I purchased the Porsche Extended Warranty (not 3rd party) at the end of the 4 year warranty and expect to keep my Taycan for several more years. I keep weighting the financial viability of trading it in, but assuming a 50% depreciation that would mean coming up with at least $75,000 in...
  7. Wheel alignment

    My original tires lasted about 20,000 miles. Took the car to dealership for tire replacement and inside tire wear was similar to what you describe. Dealership 'suggested' an alignment and I said no thanks............I drive in Sport Plus always and the camber will wear the inside of the tires...
  8. More Faults than a Jackpot Winner's Bells at a Vegas Slot Machine

    This happened to me as well several months ago. Just normal driving and several error codes similar to yours kept popping up. I right clicked the wheel and they individually went away and back to the normal setting for that tube. The triangle yellow warning on the lower dash remained lite. I...
  9. Are my ventilated seats not functioning properly or are they just really bad?

    Me too! There are many times when the ventilated seats automatically turn on and I end up turning them off. Not sure if Racetex is the 'key', but I am more than satisfied with the ventilated seats and their very sufficient cooling. And................we live in Texas!
  10. Panoramic Roof Removable Sunshade

    My two cents for what is worth..................I took delivery of my Taycan in February 2021 and drive it in the Texas sun almost daily. I have not 'felt' heat from the roof to any great extent - or at least to any memorable extent. I feel more heat from the windshield when driving into the...
  11. Failed 14-50

    What he said!!!☝️
  12. Outdated navigation map?

    Yes...................that is a fair point. But the Taycan is not our vehicle of choice for long trips. For trips that would require a stop for a charge we would use an ICE vehicle. I just don't want to be (1) stuck at a charger that does not work, or, works very slow, (b) waiting for 15-20...
  13. Outdated navigation map?

    We had something similar...........a road that we always use crosses train tracks. People complained and complained about the train holding up traffic and over 4+ years a bypass was constructed - huge monstrosity but it does eliminate waiting for the train. Anyhow.............Apple CarPlay...
  14. Outdated navigation map?

    I rarely (never?) use the Taycan navigation. Apple CarPlay for me - always.
  15. Recall: High-Voltage Batteries May Short Circuit - ARB6 & ARB7 - Diagnostic Software - October 1, 2024

    Thanks for this - I just checked my car - same results....................Recall Incomplete...................
  16. Power Cord Recall.... Should I do it?

    Listen to what daveo4EV says.............put it in a closet and buy a reliable and affordable alternative. I happened to purchase a ChargePoint but there are a number of quality alternatives.
  17. Help - car completely dead - can't get into neutral for towing

    So I will highjack this thread just a bit. I am assuming that this was covered under warranty, but did the dealer give you the cost of this repair? So, here is where I am going.............I would guess that the cost is in the thousands of $$$$. I cannot imagine owning this car without an...
  18. Check Your Tires!

    Pretty much the same for me - just replaced all 4 at 22,000 miles. I keep the car in SportPlus 100% of the time. Inside tire wear from the increased camber...................but the car looks and drives cool - and tracks really well. Why change? Tires are just a 'tool' and need to be...
  19. Porsche Connect, expiring.

    No clue why.........................but I do like your assumption about data collection. That would be my guess as well. Another thing that 'works' is the map locator. When I click on the map on the app it shows where my car is physically located. That leads me even more to believe that your...
  20. Porsche Connect, expiring.

    Mine too and my Porsche Connect expired at the first part of this year. I cannot access the car but the remote climate control continues to work.
