I get surveys from Porsche every so often as a member of the Porsche Driver's council. Today's survey was about existing On Demand features like InnoDrive and LKA, what I knew about them, what I thought about them, whether I had purchased them, etc. Near the end of the survey, they asked about 8...
I decided to take the Taycan on a short errand today and on the way home I was driving along a poorly maintained city street when suddenly...wham! The area where I was travelling was heavily shaded, so I apparently missed seeing what I assume was a pothole. My hopes for zero consequences were...
Mercedes revealed a new concept car today. Does it look like anything we might be familiar with, especially from the front view? Also, note the vent openings behind the front wheels. Seen those before? I'm sure they're just "styling elements" though and don't contribute to the 0.17 Cd..... ;)...
The recent issue of Car & Driver features their “EV of the Year” and a Taycan 4S was Porsche’s representative in the contest. As it turned out, the Mustang Mach-E was the winner. It actually seems like a very nice vehicle and, taking everything into consideration, it’s probably a reasonable...
This came via e-mail today with a link to schedule a service appointment. At least I won't have to fight with my dealer over getting the update done:
This notice applies to your vehicle: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dear Mr. XXXXXXX,
Porsche has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle...
The Taycan is getting PPF installed on the front end and front doors so my dealer gave me a base Macan to drive for a couple of days. Aside from my F250, it's the first ICE vehicle I've driven in about 6 months. I don't really count the truck as a standard for comparison to the Taycan because...
"My Porsche" shows "no car status available" for my 2021 4S when I bring up the app on my iPhone. Since I can retrieve SOC, car settings, status, etc. through My Porsche on the web with my computer, I don't think there is a communication issue with the car.
I've tried logging in and out of the...
Today I set up CarPlay to work wirelessly in my 2021 4S and I selected about 15 apps in the CarPlay customization section of my iPhone 12 Pro. However, when CarPlay loads it appears as in the photo below with only 3 apps displayed and no way that I can find to bring up the other apps or change...
Safely at home in my garage just 3 months after placing my order (although it seemed much longer than that).
My initial impressions are very positive and given that my previous favorite Porsches have all been 911's that was a pretty high bar. I'll share more complete thoughts after I've had it...
I recently received my copy of Car and Driver and was intrigued by the comparison test of three ICE super sedans from Audi (RS7 Sportback), BMW (M8 Competition Gran Coupe), and Mercedes (AMG GT63S).
I thought to compare the results with the recent C&D test of the Taycan 4S and the numbers were...
By mistake, I didn't order colored center caps on my build. After the fact, I discovered that they are actually less expensive from Suncoast ($169) than they are as an option from the factory ($190) so no real harm done.
I'm curious, though, as to how the caps are removed. Older style caps had...
My 4S reached "Start Production" today (one day early) according to the milestone timeline on the My Porsche site. But elsewhere on the site it is still shown in Phase 1 (order created) while Phase 2 (vehicle scheduled for production) is "coming soon".
I guess it's possible that the timeline...
