I love the Taycan and plan to keep it (or the newer version) as my primary car. However, I’m working on getting my wife into a more environmentally friendly SUV. She drives a Lexus RX450h at present, and we’ve looked at both EVs and PHEVs. I was really surprised when I heard from our Lexus...

This aligns nicely with the Porsche Columbus price of $26,343.90 + $3,500 labor = $29,843.90 (~$30k) that you posit above. Perhaps someone on the Forum has some first hand data they can share, but $30k seems reasonable to me.

I've wondered that myself. While not definitive, it appears that the price for a Porsche ICE engine rebuild would be in the range of $10k-$20k for a Cayman or Boxster, or $15k-$30k for a 911 series, but this doesn't always include removal and reinstallation costs. (see link & link). At...

What a great memory! Thanks so much for sharing!

With apologies to Coach Mora -- "Depreciations! Don't talk about depreciation! You kiddin' me? Depreciation? I just hope I'll be able to sell this damn car!" :cool: Best car I've ever owned BTW...

First time I noticed your new avatar photo. Quite retro and fun to look at - thanks for the update. Where was this taken and what which one is of these folks is you? 😀

If and when you see this again, try setting a new destination and then canceling that destination. I believe that sometimes works for this error.

Well done Dave. Always excellent insights.

I suggest going through the following steps. If you take your phone to an Apple Store they can run diagnostics to determine if something is wrong with your BT. Let's assume ti checks out fine, so move to Step 2. The factory reset option might in fact be an option. I would fully delete the...

I will admit that having two rear doors that open into a non-backseat is a bit goofy. But man, it’s fast! 😉

Absolutely knew that you understood this already. The post was for everybody else.

I was unsure how I felt about the facelift, but the more I see pictures that compare the Gen 1 Taycan with Gen 2, the more I find myself liking the Gen 1 design. At the same time I would love to have more range. Since much of the range improvement comes from the 105 kWh battery in Gen 2, does...

In case you haven't searched for "Mercedes that did back-flips at Le Mans", I want to share this article. There is an excellent video in the article that clarifies how the design of the Mercedes caused the car to do back flips. One frame from the video is shown below. The video also does a...

To me the answer seems obvious. Porsche has, and always will be, a performance oriented automobile manufacturer. They will always want to create "halo" products that define the outer edge of performance possible given a set of automotive and track-based constraints. Of course you don't have...

I'm curious about this myself, but for my wife's Lexus. Too often someone spills food on the seat and it gets jammed in the leather perforations. Loved that "broddle" is a real word for poking something BTW 😀

Interesting picture. I can' help but wonder if they have a little towing vehicle to move this bad boy. Apparently it weighs 1,388 pounds (630 kg), and I see a tow bar on the front. I'm not impressed with the sealing that was done. You would think that the surface that connects directly to...

Very cool!

Very interesting charging set up. Where was this picture taken? Paris or Brussels?

Excuse me for coming 5 web pages late to this discussion, but I'd like to paraphrase Coach Jim Mora's famous response to a really stupid reporter -- "Depreciation! We're talking about depreciation! Are you kidding me! I just hope I can sell this damn car one day! 😀" Best car I've ever...

@WasserGKuehlt I want to get together with you to see wtf you've been working on in your "spare time". Leaving town in a week, but sooner or later.
