PSU7ZUC7 - note - I have ZERO intention of buying one of these.
wow - limited options - $250,255.00 - wow
some notes:
very very few option/choices
sports bucket seats are the ONLY option
no brakes options
EVSE is a $0 option, but not standard equipment
only one set of wheels
very limited...

all I can say is "yep" - and most of the industry still doesn't understand over a decade later…

this is for the curious - and not directly related to Porsche/Taycan - but we talk a lot about EVSE's and one of the best is the Tesla Gen3 Wall Chargers. And one of the things that make them the best choice is an advanced feature called "power sharing"
Summary: Powersharing for the...
in another chapter of Porsche's mastery of all things digital - apparently the vehicle's cellular modem can get wedged to such a degree that while it has a perfect cellular signal it will refuse to engage in any actual data transfers. Symptom's include but are not limited to:

I hate the cyber truck - but once again Tesla is pushing boundaries and will probably "leak" into other product and the industry at large
some of the building blocks of this truck are more interesting than the truck itself - 800V (like Taycan), steering by wire, safety considerations...

if you want to upgrade to a 48 amp EVSE $299 is about as good as you're going to find and this EVSE is well regarded - consider it!

arrived on site - 7 stations - 5 occupied, 1 "unavaiable" - one stall "open" - 350 kW (balanced)

Team,
PCA is hosting a Track day @ beautiful Weathertech Laguna Seca raceway - Sept. 15, 16 & 17 - Paddock will be open to visitors - no entrance fee - and there will be lots and lots of other Porsche's and race cars to view and a strong showing of Taycan owners I'm sure would garner interest...

sooo much to discuss from this article…there were _ONLY_ 50 kW fast charging stations in 2018???? What? Ignoring the 1000's of superchargers available even then…
if this is EA's focus we're doomed.
wow- there are 12 superchargers in the process of being deployed at Thunderhill - now I simply _MUST_ have an adapter - that means there is fast charging for track days w/EV for Laguna Seca, Thunderhill, and Buttonwillow!!
should be open in a matter of weeks!!!
