Finally got a 2023 Taycan RWD loaner while my 2021 RWD is in the shop. Car only has 150 miles on it so I'm probably the second person to drive it. A few notes based on options this loaner has and apparent differences between the 2021 model: - Loaner has the glass roof, mine has the metal roof...

I'm considering tinting my windows, and I already have the factory noise-insulated option. I've never tinted a car before, so I know very little about it. Based on the research I've done, 35% seems like a good amount. My questions are regarding how this plays together with the fact that I...

Hi all, My question might be more of a California specific thing, but maybe it can be generalized to the rest of the US. I need to bring my Taycan into a body shop for repairs due to an accident where the other party is at fault. They have accepted liability, so there's no issues there. My...

Just wanted to share this new (to me) 10 stall station in Kettleman City, CA. This was a pleasant surprise on my recent trip up and down California. When I arrived, all 10 stalls were full and thus working, and even though I was 3rd in line, I only had to wait about 10 minutes for a spot. Great...

Headed out to the LA Auto Show yesterday, where Porsche had rented out an entire hall to themselves. Got to see some nice vehicles (although all cars were locked so you nobody got to sit inside anything), including the new 911 Dakar. There was a nice Owner's Lounge as well where they were...

Never dealt with this before, anyone know if these are 100% fixable, ie restored to the point where you can't even tell they happened? I do have Porsche wheel and dent insurance.

Since the federal EV credit is effectively dead for the Taycan, I started to wonder if it made sense to buy out my lease. I'm currently 16 months into my 36 month lease, so I have 20 payments left to go. I received a buyout quote of ~$77k. Combined with payments I've made already, this adds up...

Just wanted to share a video I recorded of my first time driving through some fun twisty roads for this long of a time. The route was Highway 9, Bear Creek Road, and Highway 17 in Northern California. Highway 9 in particular was fantastic. Very well paved, nicely banked, and nice scenery. I...

https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2022/innovation/porsche-engineering-doubly-optimized-reinforcement-learning-agent-neural-network-28178.html Pretty cool that they are incorporating ML into their design. Maybe they need to get some of these software engineers on the PCM team :CWL:

Has anyone heard a sound coming from somewhere inside the car that sort of sounds like an engine revving? It comes and goes for me, in that I can do several drives without hearing it, and then mysteriously it will pop up again. When it does pop up again, it will repeat itself every few seconds...

I'm not 100% on this, but I believe that ACC used to not give you any audible notification when it disabled itself due to lack of driver input. I was testing ACC+ALK yesterday and at one point I was resting my hand on the steering wheel so lightly that I heard the car beep at me to take control...

I just completed a successful trip from LA to the Bay Area and back. It's my first trip in the Taycan. The relevant stats of the vehicle: - 2021 Taycan RWD - 20" Aero wheels - Performance Battery Plus - Range Mode set to 85mph max - ACC set to 75mph, ALK on for 95% for drive - A/C set to 70F...

I can't seem to find it. I'm on a RWD, no sports chrono package so no steering wheel dial. When I pull up the selectable drive modes I only have Range, Normal, Sport. Where is Individual?

Not sure if this has been shared before, but I saw it on reddit and thought it was awesome. Turn your sound up for maximum effect. Also found this one from the same studio about the 911, very cool as well :)

After 3 days with the car, two main issues have stuck out to me. The first, which is vital, is that I've found that the Homelink transmitter is somehow not working for opening my garage gate from the outside. When driving out of the garage from the inside, it works. My theory is that because the...

According to https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2020/products/porsche-taycan-model-year-2021-new-features-plug-charge-functions-on-demand-head-up-display-21882.html: Active Lane Keep Assist keeps the vehicle in the centre of the lane with continuous steering intervention – also in congested...

Can someone post a pic of the standard steering wheel (ie not the GT one)? It seems like every YT video I've seen where Porsche sent cars to reviewers, the cars were heavily optioned and always had the upgraded wheel. I'm trying to get a sense of if the standard steering wheel looks different...

Hi all, I put down a deposit for a base Taycan. I had to go with an inventory model since I don't want to wait 2-3 months to take delivery. Unfortunately, this also means that I was not able to get the exact config I would want had I custom ordered. As this would be my first Porsche, I'm not...
