If you don't mind my asking ... had you by chance seen it here, or eBay, first? And if so, was there any particular reason you didn't make an offer privately? Just curious as I buy/sell cars often so it is always interesting to understand people's motives. Especially when I have a feeling you...
Polestar has 3x settings -- Off, Low, Standard.
Taycan 4 CT "max" sits between Off/Low (Polestar)
Which is to say, the Porsche's max lift off recuperation is still abysmal. However, I do appreciate how the Porsche brake pedal does blend the two, and can provide a great deal of power back into...
Great question! There are pros/cons to both sides. As you said, not all EVs drive the same. So without a doubt I miss the chassis dynamics and drive quality of the Porsche.
But the items that have made me happiest about the switch to the Polestar are all things that, if Porsche wanted, could...
Yeah it sold within a few days. Suspect dealer had a lead on a buyer before I even traded it -- and I noticed the CarFax showed it got CPO'd by Porsche too. They def make some good money off me in that quick flip; oh well.
Picked up a short term lease (27 month) on a Polestar 2. Not really...
There are settings you can choose that will force it to pick Porsche charger service fast chargers. That said, can you provide the location/address? Brooklyn, Yonkers, and Brewster ALL have Tesla DC fast chargers that will work with your car. However, to release the "MagicDock" that is required...
Interesting replies here. I'd say I have a 90-95% success rate with it reaching the car, however I am fair to realize that the car needs to wake up, and handshake with the servers. So I would never expect it is ready to go the moment I get into the car. That said, Tesla has had this feature for...
Came in here to write what @daveo4EV already said. Heck I added a 2nd Tesla wall connector to my house last week, myself. It really is not rocket science. Also, when my house was first wired up in 2012 for an EV it was a NEMA 14-50 that eventually got converted to a hardwired unit. That is...
LOLOLOL .... you joined the forum a few weeks ago, but I'm the idiot here? Thanks buddy. Appreciate the compliment.
Also, you may want to work on your reading comprehension a little bit. Nowhere did I use the words "supposed to be" -- those are your words, not mine. I said that the MF...

I don't have XPEL brand but instead the SPT ones listed above. I really like the matte finish as it reduces both the glare on sunny days but, more importantly, the finger prints. They are still there but...
Sounds like you did good then! Congrats. My first Taycan 4S was small profit sold during early "pandemic pricing" (bought at MSRP less tax credit, so similar to you). Subsequently though ALL my J1-platform Audi/Porsche have been used to let someone else take the depreciation hit ;)
What...
Although I have not owned an RS variant of the eTron GT, I did have 2x "base" Audi eTron GT vehicles, which are in essence Taycan 4S vehicles. I did have a Taycan Turbo, which would be similar to the RS eTron GT. So in essence I've driven them all.
My quick take was that the Porsche steering...
Having read about @DerekS adventures... I made extra careful sure that the cover was flipped down fully and that the adapter seated. It is a bit of a nearly interference fit, so you do need to be careful. As he stated, if it isn't fully seated and "clicks" into place, it won't work/start...
Per reply above, we need a bit more data. Is there an on screen code at the car side, or just the red error on the Tesla wall connector.
FWIW, I've been using THIS ADAPTER on my 2021 Taycan without any issues. Also works great on my wife's Volvo XC40 Recharge, and was tested on other cars that...
GREAT write up, thanks for sharing. Sounds like you/I are cut of the same fabric, my friend.
When I finish tonight, my home setup will be 3x chargers, across 2x 60A breakers, with 2x on a power share line. So similar to yours except that instead of a single sub panel, my Tesla Universal...
As I had guessed another $5k was available - and sounds like they were happy to offer it. I don't know if we'll see huge discounts past that but -- you're always smarter to buy used if you don't mind second hand goods. Let someone else take that first big hit :)
Does she want a '21 CT4? I've got one for sale in Cleveland, Ohio ;)
But you're right the wagons are harder to find. My local dealer has a black 4S that is $150k MSRP and I've looked to see what my competition was when selling-- it gives me hope my CT4 will demand more being rare. But...
