A Fisker Ocean depreciated by 69% in 2 months (qz.com)

Fortunately, in Washington State the state law says that the owner has the right to choose the repair shop and the insurance company has to pony up the $. Florida should have a similar consumer protection law.

If it is one of the HV battery modules needing to be replaced the repair time will depend on the availability of a Porsche technician that has been trained for the work. Probably why they are moving the car to another dealer. That has been the hold up in the U.S., as only a few Porsche dealers...

I had the "water in the passenger footwell" issue a couple of years ago. It was the battery drains per the service bulletin as Robert pointed out. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10191715-0001.pdf The dealer removed the back seats and carpet to get everything dried out, including...

Vehicle to grid capabilities so my Taycan can power my beach cabin when the power goes out! Operable sun roof too, but I know that's a long shot. ;)

I’m hoping when I hit 99,000 miles I can just slip a new 115KW (or better) battery into my classic 2020. A bit longer range and a whole lot cheaper than giving them my car and $100,000 for a new 4S with similar spec!

Porsche’s revenue model. Here’s the surprise notice my sister received today for her Macan: Navigation & Infotainment Package Services: Finder, Porsche Voice Pilot, Radio Plus, News, Weather, Navigation Plus Minimum term: 1 Year $205.00 (excl. taxes) Will be automatically renewed

I got a lucky break. It took 12 days from diagnosis, to driving off with a new HV battery, last fall in U.S.

This all smells of the dodgy ethics of the VW Group, filtered into Porsche. “Chargergate” similar to Deiselgate. They certainly have screwed over 40,000 loyal Porsche Taycan owners with their cover your ass approach. In the US it’s probably only going to be a nationwide class action lawsuit...

Ditto with my 2020 4S on my driveway. Grease applied a year ago solved my mild climate squawks.

Agree, I’ve used the Tesla mobile with adapter for years. Terrific and the case fits perfect in the frunk.

I was in the same boat on my 2020 4S. Absolutely love the car and decided to get a Porsche Platinum warranty to align with the HV battery warranty to 2028. A whole lot cheaper than buying new. Gives me the flexibility to get a new ride in a few years with the imbedded NACS plug, better...

In the U.S. the emergency release is in a corner of the inside of the trunk lid. A hard to see recessed green button, towards the front of the car, on the U.S. passenger's side (UK driver's side?) Good luck!

Maybe drop the back seats and reach in to hit the emergency release button? "Trunk Entrapment: Your vehicle is equipped with an internal trunk release mechanism. A person trapped in the luggage compartment can release the lid from the inside using the unlocking button. The unlocking button is...

In the U.S. I purchased a Porsche Platinum warranty after 3 years of ownership for my 2020 4S Performance. The plan I chose comes with a $250 deductible, 96 total months, and 100,000 total mile coverage (including the original 4-year factory.) Spendy at $6k, but cheap compared to Porsche parts...

in the U.S. you can purchase a Porsche warranty plan any time prior to the original warranty expiration. You can't if the factory warranty has expired.

Let's hope Tesla does charge for slow charging. With only 50% of Electrify America chargers usually working, there is nothing more frustrating than to see a Chevy Bolt linked to a 350 KW charger, when 150 KW's are available.

Note: "for future products in the North American region, beginning in 2025." Question is if the dorky refresh of the Taycan is a "future product." My guess is it will be Gen 2 in 2027 or 2028 until the Taycan hardware goes NACS. I'll wait for the NACS plug and cross my fingers for a new hipper...

FYI: In September '22 replacement at my Porsche dealer: windshield $1290, installation $350, calibration $562, alignment $340, "shop misc." $60. Total: $2,602 plus tax.
