I think it depends entirely what market and what city they are looking at. My sons elementary school alone has at least 10 different Taycans that I've spotted, with around 4 of them being added since the start of the school year here (Feb).
Sounds like you were in normal mode and the downshift in gears when you accelerate hard. It wont happen in Sport or Sportplus mode. I tend to stay in Sports mode almost all of the time unless the road is really bumpy, when you forget and leave it in normal that downshift jolt is not pleasant.
Public charging here is ok but definitely not keeping pace with the amount of new EVs on the roads. So many TESLAs on the Gold Coast. If I had to mainly rely on the public charging I wouldn’t have jumped to electric yet.
Sports sound is both internal and external. People will hear it.
Anyway...
Im on the Gold Coast, I was a bit worried about summer here and the pano roof but its been amazing! I get far more heat coming in through the side windows. They have worked some magic with the roof. It really opens up the car interior and makes the back seem far more spacious, definitely add it...
Im not sure if this is a Porsche Australia only thing but we just got this. Kind of silly but fun.

Im use the supplied Porsche one in Australia with the 3 phase power upgrade at the board. It works fine. Very easy with the app. I didnt bother with the Home Energy Manager even though it came with the car. I also didn't bother with my initial idea of getting solar installed (even though Im on...
I have no idea, presumably not as it makes no noise beyond the faint sound of wheels turning etc unless you turn on the optional sports sound. As it is not required here (yet) it doesn't seem to be a standard fitted feature on any Australian delivered Taycans hence why I said that think the...
What do you mean, is what true? As mentioned in the article nothing has been mandated yet. " the federal government’s announcement that plans are underway to mandate a minimum sound requirement in electric and hybrid vehicles in Australia " LOL surely you know how governments work, they lend...
Not in our country (Australia) its not.
In any event 'Recent tests conducted in Norway, which has the highest electric vehicle penetration of any developed market in the world, have revealed that the standard warning volume of 56 decibels may not even be loud enough, given other ambient traffic...
Even my dealer said the Porsche Dashcam wasnt that great, there are much better 3rd party options.
Quality of life stuff: Auto folding mirrors are surprisingly handy especially when parking in tight places. Id always spec them.
The sports sound seems like a pointless option to many but in real...
Yes was going to fit them on my GT3 but here in Queensland the risk and cost if you get caught are too much. I just have Waze on all the time and cross my fingers :cool:
