A Tesla Plaid is in this range and very comparable.

Tsk tsk tsk, all this talk of warranty coverage. Get back on topic guys ;) Debating the warranty and a Porsche response ad nauseum is futile until someone with the mod files a claim for a failure related to the mod. Hasn't anyone with the mod put the car on a dyno? or can't it be done due to...

It’s funny you mention roller coaster, we’re headed to Disney World and I’m looking forward to seeing our kids on a real coaster for the first time, if they love’’em like me or it’s a hard pass like mommy. I have a similar car history, more of a vice than transportation. I’d love the mod and...

The software is an integral component of how the car is designed to operate. The warranty covers what Porsche designed, the warranty takes into account the risks and probabilities inherent to the design. Change that software and your altering the risk factors for failure events. I’ve had...

Plausible but in my estimation, unlikely. If the failure fits within the parameters of failures Porsche observed during testing the Mission E, where the parts and prototypes were subjected to a range of abuse designed to find the breaking point they will have enough information to have a...

I considered that approach as well, having the mod on a separate module from the factory one so I could swap back. A “bulletproof” means of ensuring the altered code isn’t found BUT in the event that I am unable to make the swap back, like a car accident or break down away from home (and the...

I visit CA every few years to meet up with friends. The traffic, crazy prices and oh yea, the traffic are reasons enough for me to look forward to leaving. My home state has comparable weather and beaches so CA holds no allure there. I do wish I lived in CA once a year, for ComicCon but, I get...

I tried the ALK again with LKA deactivated. There is a marginal improvement in the lane wander. The issue for me isn't the lane wander as much as it is the 30 second nag to take over steering. The system seems to throttle the line between being helpful and telling me not to rely on it. The...

I think your giving the courts far too much credit. IF Porsche got wind of the software tampering, they would deny the warranty claim faster than warp speed. It's simple, it costs them nothing to deny the warranty but it will cost you a retainer to fight it. You'd be at the mercy of your hired...

I installed two dedicated EVSE circuits, one 30 amp and one 60 amp, both using the same 4 gauge wire so I could swap the 30 amp breaker if I swap the EVGo charger for something stronger. The other is the Porsche EVSE which can go to 100 amps but my Taycan lacks the higher AC charging ability so...

My CPO had the windshield done by the prior owner. Interestingly two local Xpel dealers said they advise people NOT to do the windshield unless it is a track-only vehicle which is what the product was designed for, I have the scratch lines from the wipers but no distortions yet. I am able to...

How did your insurance classify the claim? In other words, is it chargeable for a rate increase?

I didn’t do any forum searching because it [LKA] was in the car as part of the build. It’s simple enough to engage. I was posting after having researched the feature my Taycan lacked but could have added, ALK.

Silly question. Of course it voids the warranty, for the affected parts which is to say, the battery and motors. I would think the warranty for your power windows and seats will remain in full force and effect. The Turbo is fast enough for me to NOT lose my CPO or extended warranty.

I've looked all over, I don't see the symbol shown in the online vehicle manual. They don't appear in the main instrument cluster nor do they appear in the main center display or the angled center console display which is in line with my build not having the technology package. I have the...

I agree. It’s like bait n switch, look at this beautiful range estimate right over here…. Meanwhile the hand out of sight slips in a limiter. This is what made me leery of Tesla. Knowing some yokle in Stupidville would fall asleep with a hotdog taped to the steering wheel and is involved in an...

What the...?!?! Good grief. Between this thread and learning the 12v Li-ion battery is north of $1,500 to replace I can understand the depreciation. The Taycan borders Ferrari cost of ownership. I didn't do my due diligence before buying, I sometimes visit the service dept to get quotes for...

Damn. The only consolation is in knowing it’s made superior to any aftermarket or other OEM battery. I’ve had Porsche’s and BMW’s hit their 8th and 9th birthdays with the original battery while still going strong and passing yearly physicals. Granted those were with lead/acid batteries. I...

A 12v battery replacement was 1700 euro?

Yes, this is my experience as well. I've only experienced Tesla self driving in a demo car for a short time. The salesperson seemed squeamish about testing it for longer than a few minutes and it really wasn't anywhere near long enough to appreciate it. The Porsche ALK and LKA systems really...
