  1. Recommendations for Body shops in the California Bay Area

    Any body shops in the California Bay Area which are certified to do collision repair for Taycans? An idiot banged into my right hand side rear door while trying to make an unprotected left turn thru dense traffic. Their insurance has accepted liability and suggested a few body shops but I want...

  3. Porsche Design Clock out of sync with digital clock

    Wife had optioned the Porsche Design Clock instead of the Sports Chrono for her 2022 Taycan 4S. For the last 2 days, I am noticing that the Porsche Design Clock which is analog, is out of sync with the clock displayed on the instrument cluster by 30 mins. Reseting the clock by going to...
  4. How to activate Charging Planner contract?

    Wife's 2022 Taycan 4S was built in end of Jan 2022 and delivered in April. I can see the PIRM contract activated but the Charging Planner contract is inactive (despite being free). As a result, Nav does not add any charging stops along the route and shows I will arrive with negative battery...
  5. Best spots for launch control in the Bay Area

    Any safe recommended spots to try out launch control in the Bay Area? I have access to Moffett Field but somehow I doubt the ANG and Google would find it amusing if they see a Taycan whooshing down the runway.
  6. Extended Warranty - worth it?

    During the purchase process, the dealer asked whether I wanted to purchase extended warranty @ $10K. Has anybody purchased extended warranty on their Taycan? If it was not an EV, it would have made more sense to me but $10K just seems to be steep for a less mechanically complex EV. The dealer...
  7. Which PG&E rate plan are you on?

    California Tycoon owners who are chained to PG&E: Which rate plan are you on? Currently I am on TOU-C and wondering whether EV-2A will save me money or not?
  8. EV Charger + Automated Loading Shedding Device

    I got an EVSE install quotation from one of the electricians saying in order to accommodate a Level-2 EVSE, they would need to install an Automated Load Shedding (ALS) device which would only allow the EVSE to run when the load on the home circuit is below 30A (Total load capacity of home is...
  9. Does car get shipped back to dealership for final inspection if one selects PECLA delivery?

    I am talking to several dealers across US trying to get someone with available allocation + some discount since Bay Area has neither at the moment. If car is shipped from out-of-state dealer to home, ballpark I am getting delivery fees of $1500-$2500 (covered trailer). So I am also looking at...
  10. Custom Build - At what stage is the point of no return?

    If one gets an allocation and places a custom build order, at what stage does one sign a contract and would face forfeiture of their deposit if one backs out after that? Reason for asking: Going by the uncertainty caused by the chip shortage situation and delivery lead time estimates all over...
  11. Experience with Bay Area Porsche Dealers

    Talking to Porsche Fremont and Porsche San Jose and was curious to hear 1st experiences of folks here who got their Taycans from either dealer - the good, bad and the ugly. San Jose seems more responsive and claims they have available allocation vs Fremont (they said will find out and get back...
  12. Anybody show off their Taycan at Monterey Car Week?

    Boss had a Porsche test drive event invite for Saturday so I tagged along with her. Disappointingly they only had a Taycan RWD available for the drive but that did provide the boss with enough data points to stick with ordering a 4S. The drive itself was good but short, through some local...
