Agree 110%! - For example, I have a few vehicles so road tripping never entered into my decision tree. I simply don't road trip the Taycan - I can't be bothered with the whole public charging BS and time wasted.
I have been wrestling with the same decision and I am leaning toward keeping my 2021 4s. Originally, I was going to bite the bullet and trade it in. Now, not so much. Let me make up some numbers.................... Let's say that a new 4S is going to be in the $140k-!50k range - split the...
I'm gonna guess $35,000+ in repairs. Older car but for significantly less damage (no hood damage, no wheel damage no suspension damage) the latest estimate to repair my wife's C250 was $13,000+. Her car was parked and the lady in a lifted truck with 35 inch tires just clipped the front bumper...
Agree, and this is what Insurance is for. If the car is stolen and/or damaged you pay the deductible and get it repaired or get it replaced. No car is worth the risk of getting shot, stabbed or otherwise hurt.
Excellent post - the best part is........................Hire An Electrician................unless you are really skilled at electrical work. I am not and even though this seems easy, $500 is pocket change compared to setting the house on fire! ?
My car is in suspension Sport Plus all of the time - I like the feedback that this setting gives - my wife thinks that the car rides 'lumpy' ?. Once in a while the feedback from the passenger seat is something like - Do you HAVE to drive like this?????
I tested Range mode once or twice when I...
My two cents.................My car is a 2021 4S......Metallic Cherry ?. I had to take it in for service last week and the loaner that I received was a RWD. Within a mile of leaving the dealership I knew that RWD is not for me - pretty much the same car (options) but the acceleration of the...
Yep. I call pretty much any vehicle a hunk of deprecating metal and plastic, and, sometimes leather. This is not a bad thing, just reality. Even for the so-called exotics I think that the auction companies make much more money than the actual buyers and sellers. Yes, there are some people...
I think that I would agree with taking the 'refund' and purchasing a 911. I have had my 2021 Taycan for almost 2.5 years and it is problem free (other than the Porsche recalls). Effectively, nothing wrong with the car, but after reading the Forum for almost 3 years there are enough problems...
Very short...........I learned this from daveo4EV ................I bought a Porsche..................oh yeah, it happens to be electric........................nuff said. ?
I have probably the same - Karcher Cube but tossed the hose and spray head in the trash on delivery. I already had a gas powered pressure washer but way to powerful for vehicle, but the hose, handle, etc are semi-industrial grade. They work fine with the Karcher and no tangles!
For the car - Electric Karcher Cube and I follow this video - two bucket system and mtm foam cannons for car washing - Bing video. I find the Cube perfect for washing our vehicles, and for the price if it breaks just toss it out and buy another one on Amazon. I have had my for 2+ years with no...
I ordered my 2021 Taycan with Race-tex and would do it all over again - and I live in Texas. Car has almost 15,000 miles and I don't see any wear and tear. I do have the ventilated seats and backs as well - guessing that this helps keeps me cooler in these 100+ degree temperatures.
Normally, I would follow Bruce Anderson's advice (Excellence Magazine from years ago) and buy the latest model Porsche that I could. But, as others have mentioned...........if the Turbo is Porsche Certificate and comes with the Porsche Warranty, and, you are not keeping the car long term you...
#1 Exclusively for me - no matter what type of car I drive. In my much younger days I attended 10-12 Drivers Ed events per year and instructed at all of them. First thing that we went over in the pre-track class was hand position on the steering wheel, and as an instructor I repeated it to...
Sure have. It has not done this in a while but it has gotten stuck for me in the past. My experience is the same as yours - it becomes functional with a re-start. I have not tested this but I am wondering if dust/dirt get on the sensor that reads the speed limit signs and it just can't read...
I think that a crooked badge could have a significant impact on wind resistance, possibly reducing 0-60 by as much as 10%, or, even more depending on the crookedness of the badge. I also would very careful on aggressive cornering. That extra wind resistance could affect the airflow during...
