    Building a Taycan GT

    I'm 6'3 with a bad hip. I curse every time I get in or out of the damn thing with that stupid B-pillar effing up my life.

    Building a Taycan GT

    If they had deleted the rear doors too, I'd be in cost be damned.

    Depreciation, I lost money, I’m crying

    Sure it’s not an investment. But would you go in on the new Turbo GT at MSRP, knowing what we know about Taycan depreciation?

    Depreciation, I lost money, I’m crying

    It's horribly over-engineered and overly confusing.

    Depreciation, I lost money, I’m crying

    The depreciation has been disproportionately high on the Taycan vs any other Porsche. We have a right to be grumpy about it. On the flip side they are getting so cheap that people can really get a ton of car for not much money, so welcome to the club newbies who were smart enough to wait for...

    Porsche route planner sent me to Tesla

    If it was the Dunkin Donuts, that site did indeed have the magic docks: https://www.plugshare.com/location/466734 The CCS adapter comes out of the charger with the cable after you've initiated the charge in the Tesla app. If your car has the 150kW/400V addon, you will get over 130kW. If not...

    Porsche route planner sent me to Tesla

    It might have sent you to a MagicDock site, which would be an awesome improvement! (You download the Tesla app to pay and initiate charging.) What was the charger address? We can see on PlugShare if it supports MagicDock.

    Windshield ppf

    I tried it - the distortion was more than I could bear and I pulled it off.

    Failed Supercharger Magic Dock session

    When this happened to me, the dock broke a tab on the charging flap which prevented the dock from fully seating. Grab a flashlight, is there anything in the channel around the charging pins?

    A few photos of my Taycan ST GTS - Lowered with Spacers, and a few other Mods

    If that battery takes a dent, you're looking at 50K to replace it with no warranty support. I would never lower a Taycan.

    NF0 Pirelli vs Non-NF0 Michelin PS4S

    Too soon to tell for me.

    NF0 Pirelli vs Non-NF0 Michelin PS4S

    I did. Going from contis to PS4s on the base Taycan was a huge upgrade. Going from Pzeros to PS4s was an increase in noise, handling seems the same. Pzeros next time.

    2025 Taycan released but what about existing Taycan owners?

    Throw it in the gutter, and go buy another.

    I’ll say it .. Gen 1 Taycan styling will never get old

    Don’t get me wrong, the new improvements are huge. I just wish I hadn’t upgraded in Nov 22. It would have made a great upgrade today. Still never doing a glass roof again though.

    Rock chips while driving.

    I’ll say it .. Gen 1 Taycan styling will never get old

    I will be very happy to return to a two door car and stop contorting myself to get in and out.

    I’ll say it .. Gen 1 Taycan styling will never get old

    I've bought two Taycans. I've lost quite a bit of money on the second one. Both took damage to the panoramic roof, the latter severe enough I have to replace it. I'm done with the Taycan. Waiting for the E-Boxster. EDIT: To be clear the roof and depreciation are separate issues. I don't...
