    Lot of Taycan for sale with low miles

    EA is the only EV charging network that Porsche, BMW, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes, etc are all signing deals with. And they aren't expanding charging fast enough to meet the capacity demands of all these new EVs coming to market. The number of chargers has not changed in my area by more than a few...

    Lot of Taycan for sale with low miles

    Yeah I have no problem charging at home, but recently started venturing out and driving around to visit friends, stopping at EA chargers once in a while if needed. That experience is pretty bad. I was living in a bubble only charging at home.

    Lot of Taycan for sale with low miles

    I see a lot of typical luxury car buyers getting Taycans more as a curiosity. I met one the other day who bought one off the lot and didn't even know what trim it was (badge was removed). But as soon as the dashboard problems start, they realize charging is a pain in the ass, and the range...

    Alignment price frustration

    Service quote showed the tire tread is worn on the front tires on the inner side, same as @jplouis.

    Alignment price frustration

    Going through this now. My service advisor said he was surprised at the price of the alignment. He said it's pretty labor intensive though which is why it costs so much. He also mentioned with the front bumper they need to remove during alignment if you have the front camera (parking assist or...

    How long are you planning to keep your Taycan?

    I bought a dealer demo 2021 Taycan 4S with an un-punched warranty and I negotiated CPO on top so I have a full 6 years. Next car that replaces it will be a 911 or 718 electric. Hopefully by then they will have been out a few years and most of the kinks worked out.

    2021 Taycan Base Model, (CA) HOV Carpool Sticker

    Went through this process and it was smoother than expected. All those CA tax dollars doing something right I guess! Get the stickers first, that gives you a CAV certification. You'll need to upload a picture of that certification to get a special CAV transponder from Bay Area FastTrack. Once...

    FS: Porsche Charging Dock (SOLD)

    Lowered price again to $300 shipped since it looks like there are a bunch of these floating around now. Can offer a discount for local SF Bay Area folks that want it.

    Does anyone actually charge to only 80%?

    I charge to 85% most of the time. Unless I'm at an Electrify America station, and then I just go till 29 minutes and stop wherever it lands, even if it's above 90%. That's mainly because I want to maximize my use of the free charging while I have it.

    Proposed U.S. $12,500 tax credit . . . BUT

    The proposed changes are a textbook case of how politicians take an issue and utilize it for their own gains, and then prevent the issue from ever getting solved. I believe in climate change and reducing my carbon footprint, so I bought an EV. It'd be great if more like-minded people could also...

    So that's where all the Taycan buyers are. Marin.

    Starting to see few Taycans out here in the Tri-Valley now. Everyone here is tired of seeing Tesla's at every 4-way intersection and we all joke that the Model 3 is the new Honda Accord. I've turned a few heads with my 4S for sure.

    Power folding mirror retrofit?

    I would love this feature as my garage is super tight. Anyone tried getting it done yet? Has your local dealer been willing to do the work?

    Best 3rd Party Level 2 Charger

    Availability of chargers is an issue right now, regardless of what charger works best. PMCC's are in short supply with Porsche, and both Clipper Creek and Chargepoint were backordered when I checked a month ago. Juicebox had availability the last time I checked. Unsure of the others. Tesla is...

    Gang of EQSs at Lost Hills

    Seriously! Looks like it could swallow the Taycan whole. And I don't find the Taycan to be a "small car" by any stretch.

    US Federal Tax Credit Changes/should I get MY2021 or MY2022?

    I don't expect the EV tax credit for Taycans to survive the current legislative session. It just doesn't fit well into the "tax the rich" narrative from the political left or the "rich buyers don't need EV tax credits" narrative from the political right. If it's important to you to save the...
