    Any RWD owners regret not going to 4S?

    RWD is a great choice. I’m very happy with mine and the power/torque is great. The 4s packs more of a punch however it wasn’t a deal breaker for me. The exterior and interior are exactly the same and the drive is extremely satisfying. The battery on the RWD is also more superior if that’s a...

    This is how you deal with Summer in Dubai

    I drive a Taycan metallic black in Dubai with a panoramic roof and the AC is very effective. The cars made for this region (GCC spec) are built for the hot climate and there may be a difference in the AC parts/settings.

    Doesn’t seem like it’s going to be available in UAE for a while. Shouldn’t hold you back though. The car is a pleasure to drive.

After speaking to a few car care companies, I was informed the GardX coating is very thin (less than 1 micron) and I was advised to remove it and apply a new coating called Trinity origin which is 10 microns.

    Recall update refused!

    I got the same response in Dubai. Seems like the message has to appear on the system and only then will they carry out the update. Thy did say some 4s and Turbos have come in for a recall. Not sure if it’s for the same issues.

    Jerk at 80 km/h in Normal mode

    Thanks for your response. I received the car from the Porsche dealer in Abu Dhabi on June 10 2021 so I’m assuming it has the latest firmware however I have sent it in to the service Center as it’s not acceptable and doesn’t seem to be a common concern.
