I did something similar back in March 2021 right after I took delivery of my car. I posted this back then..........
A couple of weeks ago I posted that I would be 'testing' the three different modes on my Taycan - Normal, Sport, Range. Here are the basics - 4S with Mission E's; 72 mile round...
There is a post on for Forum that discuss this. From what I remember it is to 'clean' the rotors up after sitting for a period - I think maybe 6 hours or so...........from what I remember. I would guess (and it is just a guess) that since regen provides almost all of the braking for most...
Regen does not kick in for a mile or so after the car has sat for several hours, including overnight. When you leave the house in the morning do some left foot (assuming U.S. car with steering wheel on the left side) braking while you are accelerating. This will engage the brakes and clean...
I guess that is my point - any car part is going to deteriorate over time and use. So what? Looks to me like there are three choices - (1) Don't buy it; (2) Live with it if it does deteriorate; (3) Replace the part and/or the vehicle if and when it does deteriorate. Going back to my original...
2021 4S with almost 20,000 miles with Race-Tex. I vacuum the car when it needs it but not obsessive and have not cleaned the Race- Tex steering wheel since delivery.............3 years ago. I guess that it shows some matting in the 10/2 hand position - the only place where I hold the steering...
There's no Porsche owner secret wave, pinkie thing, or glove box full of rubber ducks I have to know about, right?
Well, there actually a kind of secret wave.............but not many know it or practice it today. This dates back to the early 356 days in Europe when approaching 356 drivers...
I emailed my info in yesterday (February 28th) and received an acknowledgment back almost immediately. That was refreshing only to confirm that they actually received my email. Will post again when I receive the check. I ordered a Chargepoint and it is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
Insurance premiums go up because of repair costs without regard to the value of the car EXCEPT when the cost to repair the car is more than the value of the car. In that case the insurance company 'totals' the car and then the depreciated value of the car comes into play - much like I said in...
But..............depreciation only affects you if you decide to get rid of the car. Same as the stock market. I argue that when the value of your stocks/investments goes down you did not 'lose' any money. You only take a loss if you decide to sell the stock/investment and then the loss is...
You should have been around when the 911 went from the 964 model to the 993. Whew! The 964 buyers were besides themselves when they found out the extensive change from the 964 to the 993 and they had just purchased a 964 at full retail. But........................I never understood it. While...
Same damn thing in Granbury, TX. Cop spun around on the highway and pulled me over for no front plate about a year ago and gave me a warning. Two weeks ago, same cop...............this time a ticket. Me too, took car to dealership and had them put on the front plate. What I don't like is...
After all of the other comments I would suggest an extended test drive at your dealership. If they want to sell a car.......................they need to accommodate the buyers needs. Worst thing would be to take a short drive only to find that after you purchase the car the seat is not...
This occurs on a number of cars................maybe all of them? I had an H3 Hummer and it was more than prevalent on cold tires, warm tires, cold weather, warm weather, etc. Not sure why, but it was very pronounced on the H3. Otherwise I have noticed it on pretty much any car that we have...
Agree 110%! - For example, I have a few vehicles so road tripping never entered into my decision tree. I simply don't road trip the Taycan - I can't be bothered with the whole public charging BS and time wasted.
I have been wrestling with the same decision and I am leaning toward keeping my 2021 4s. Originally, I was going to bite the bullet and trade it in. Now, not so much. Let me make up some numbers.................... Let's say that a new 4S is going to be in the $140k-!50k range - split the...
I'm gonna guess $35,000+ in repairs. Older car but for significantly less damage (no hood damage, no wheel damage no suspension damage) the latest estimate to repair my wife's C250 was $13,000+. Her car was parked and the lady in a lifted truck with 35 inch tires just clipped the front bumper...
