    When Idiots Attempt an EV Road Trip

    Thanks for posting the link, just finished the story. They did set themselves up for failure in terms of their preparation and their choice of charging app. A few thoughts--If they had used ABRP, they would likely have used EA fast charging stations almost the whole way making 10 stops...

    Simply Porsche - Beaulieu

    Nice collection of 928's? I have more than a soft spot for 928's!

    Battery not providing proper range?

    The miles to "empty" figure updates based on driving style/conditions (so it does go up and down) and as others have noticed the use of the HVAC and seat heating has a big impact on range. It is a little disconcerting to middle aged (and not tech savvy) guys like me to see my range estimate...

    Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (PS4S) Now Available in 21" Taycan Size!

    I went with the Cross Climate 2's and they have been outstanding in terms of wet and dry grip. The reduction in tire noise is nothing short of amazing--I had the OE fit Michelins on the car and they were always noisy.

    Additional dealer markups…??

    Porsche Grapevine has a GT3 Touring with PDK for $379,900 in their showroom. I'm in favor of free markets but it is a signal to the customer about the priorities of the dealership. There are some dealer groups, like Sewell here in TX, that are not marking up beyond MSRP because they think it...

    I'm no engineer but I'm pretty sure this is wrong....Pelican Parts

    BTW, FCP Euro also have a variety of fuel system and other parts listed as being for a Taycan. Suncoast has things correct.

    I'm no engineer but I'm pretty sure this is wrong....Pelican Parts

    I went on to Pelican Parts to look for Clear Markers for my Taycan and saw that they have an entire section for Taycan Exhaust parts. This confused me as I am pretty sure that EVs don't really have Exhausts, much less Oxygen Sensors. Even weirder is that the entry for this particular part...

    Kyle Drifts a 2WD Taycan

    What wheels are those? They look great!

    Taking the watermelon spec to the next level

    Someone else clearly thought this was worth spending their own money on but it looks like Miss Piggy killed Kermit the Frog using an Axe to me

    Rented a Model Y

    I second that! It really looks pretty cool on that car, I see a strong resemblance between the Ionic 5 and the Lancia Delta Integrale

    This is really painful... crashed my Taycan into a cement pillar

    My business partner makes fun of how slowly I back into my parking space in the garage at our office--it is primarily because I fear the sneaky columns! Part of it is also that I am a boater and that's how I pull my boat into and out of the slip, carefully!

    New Taycan and new Panamera under one roof ….our debate is underway!

    I went to the dealership to buy a Panamera 4S eHybrid and wound up with a Taycan 4S. I do agree that the interior of the Panamera is more luxurious than the Taycan but after driving the two the choice was pretty clear for me. The Taycan felt like the future we were promised as kids.

    My Paint to Sample (PTS) British Racing Green / Truffle Brown Taycan delivered today :-)

    Amazing spec—makes my white over limestone/black 4S seem more than a bit bland! I’d love to do this color combination on a GTS Sport Turismo

    New look on base rims after powder and clear coat - color change

    Those look great! They remind me of the classic Fuchs wheels and you get the benefit of having the lightest wheel and tire package along with nice meaty sidewalls to deal with my home state's potholes!

    The New 7 Series BMW

    I'm going to reserve final judgement until I see it in person but I don't mind how it looks outside and think the interior looks great. We also need to keep in mind that while most of us (myself included) really hated the "Bangle Butt" BMWs initially they sold very well and some, like the E60...

    New guy here with a few general questions Panamera VS Taycan

    I went to the dealership to drive a Panamera eHybrid and drove the Taycan on a whim. After driving the Taycan the Panamera felt old and a bit obsolete. The die was cast at that point. The only area where I preferred the Panamera was on the look and general finish of the interior which seemed...

    Last Minute 4S Build Feedback

    I totally missed that you had massage—guess I was thinking about the one feature I really wish I had on my car. I also need to use my reading glasses—doh!

    Dashcam in a Taycan?

    I have a VanTrue T3 that is plugged into the 12V in the center console. It works really well but it is front only. I'd like to get a hardwired install (front and rear cameras) done but not sure who to use in DFW.

    Last Minute 4S Build Feedback

    I'd probably skip the power port covers and the under door light projectors and go for the seat massage function instead. Other than that it looks great! Gentian Blue is my favorite Taycan color.

    6 months in with 4S - the great/good, the bad/ugly

    I’d describe it as a product that Is not yet fully baked. Some of this is early adopter typical pain, some is a lack of attention paid to details complicated by the company deciding to re-engineer so many of the systems of the car apart from the powertrain
