Somewhat disturbingly, I learned from my service advisor while making an appointment to once again address recall notice implementation on my 2022 Taycan that effective in June Porsche has officially discontinued the Macan internal combustion engine version and rumor has it that the entire...

Amazing they sell millions of these death-by-carwash devices.

Although I rarely turn on ESS just for the cool sound, whenever I am in parking lot area where a distracted pedestrian is obliviously focused on his smartphone, flipping it on quickly makes my presence known. Is it worth the cost? It depends on how you feel about tapping your horn because...

How soon we forget. The entire economic purpose of providing federal and state tax credits for purchasing EVs was to incentivize early adapters in order to give a little "boost" to the startup companies attempting to develop new technologies. Tesla is the most valuable car company in the world...

I share your frustration. I’ve had my 2022 Taycan RWD since October 2022. Only 6784 miles on it, nonrepairable punctured to one of the reader tires required that I replace both of the rears. About 10 days ago, with 14,952 miles, all for needed replacement. The tire dealer, Grand Prix Performance...

Strange view of embarrassment expressed on a thread about German cars built by a company that built armaments for a lunatic whose military goals of world domination cost millions of lives, and who was largely thwarted by Americans using weapons. Maybe the original posting was from a Taycan owner...

Really, I don't see a problem. My 17-year-old probably has faster reflex times than I do, something I noted when I let her take my Bugatti Chiron out for a spin with her friend. The only issue proved to be resetting the radio to something more listenable than the hip-hop station she set it on.

Yes. I had worried that the ever-present exotic and luxury cars parked in the Grand Prix lot signaled high prices. Not at all. They were evidence of the owners' intelligence in getting great service at great prices. These will be the third set of tires I have purchased from Grand Prix for...

As a general proposition, dealerships charge more for tires because of overhead, etc. Same with mechanic services. That said, I will be replacing all four tires on my 2022 Taycan later today at Grand Prix Performance in Costa Mesa, California with Continental 275/45 R19 and 225/55 R19 tires for...

I assume you are unfamiliar with "kvetching". Look it up. An example is "the food is terrible and the portions are so small." No one wants to listen to someone kvetch.

I managed to spin out my 2009 Cayman S in the rain on the S/B 73 heading into Newport Beach back in 2011 and crunched the right rear quarter and ripped the right rear axle out of the transaxle. Over two months later it came out of the shop with a bill of $30,321.99. In 2025 dollars that's...

Were you not aware that you could test drive the car before you bought it? It certainly seems you would’ve been happier with some sort of Kia and we would have been happier not hearing your whiny complaints on the Taycan Forum.

Don't worry. Porsche's engineers have plenty of talent to go around. Great innovations and improvements in any model tend to lead to ideas that make their way into the full line-up. And Porches are still selling like hotcakes, so there's plenty of revenue to R&D.

I'm guessing that the "junk drawer" in your kitchen is full of old chargers for personal electronic devices long forgotten. If you don't have a Porsche EV, why would want a Porsche EV charger?

I don't get it. Especially the roof-rack and the Ferrari sticker on the charging cover door. Why not buy something designed to go off road. It reminds me of one of the cars from the 50s and 60s made water-tight and equipped with a propeller.

My request for buy-back under the California Lemon Law is pending on my 2022 Taycan RWD that went into the dealership at 17 months and 1 day, 9,237 miles, and remained there for 54 days to deal with high voltage batter failure, i.e., the "circle of red death" message that I had experienced...

I haven't given up on Porsche, just Taycans and mandated achievement of politically driven technology goals. In all likelihood, I will use the buy-back money to purchase a Porsche (ICE) internal combustion engine car.

Add me to the list of owners with Red Ring of Death. My 2022 Taycan RWD had 9,327 miles and 17 months and one day on it when it was flat-bedded back to the dealership on March 22, 2024. It is still sitting there 45 days later, and no work has been started due to "back-ordered" parts with no...

While it feels a bit silly to have "fake" engine noise, its chief function isn't to entertain the occupants. The sound can be heard outside the car and serves to warn pedestrians glued to their smartphones (perhaps reading TaycanForum) that there is a car approaching and that they may want to...
