    Taycan GTS - My one month review

    FitCamX works great for me. Installation was not easy, but doable for someone with no prior experience with these things. After leaving my car at the dealer for a few days, got to download some files to see how they handle her when I'm not around...

    2025 Frozen Blue Metallic Taycan color same as pre-refresh?

    I hadn't either until I saw your configuration. The 2024 Taycan configurator shows partial leather for standard (pretty much everywhere your body touches other than the headrest), whereas the 2025 has artificial leather throughout. It's a steep increase, but I'd say worth it.

    2025 Frozen Blue Metallic Taycan color same as pre-refresh?

    Interestingly enough - and I don't know that this has gotten much attention - but Porsche is going to a totally non-leather (i.e., artificial leather) interior for the "standard interior" option in 2025... whereas for 2020-2024, the standard interior is leather in most parts of the seats and...

    2025 Frozen Blue Metallic Taycan color same as pre-refresh?

    A few suggestions: Unless you absolutely love the panoramic roof, I'd lose that and the insulated glass and use that $3K+ and spring for the extended leather in gray. Then I'd add the Bose . I think you could be happy with that. Edit - second the surround view. It's a big car and a low car...

    Teen Driver Rolls Taycan at 100 MPH

    A similar thing happened down the street from me with a Model X that crashed into a gas station and then burned all night long - similar story - drunk teenager with mom's car. At first I was thinking - 100mph - that's insane, but these cars gather speed so quickly. Certainly too quick for any...

    Teen Driver Rolls Taycan at 100 MPH

    She's lucky she didn't die and had only minor injuries... a testament to the car's safety features and a whole lot of luck. 10 years ago at that speed and with that weight I think you've got 3 dead likely. She'll also be lucky to escape a long prison sentence presuming her male passenger...

    Teen Driver Rolls Taycan at 100 MPH

    Is it poor form for me to ask if those Mission Es can be refinished and, if so, what kind of deal might be had?

    Where was the fiery explosion of the battery?

    3 car seats in 2 back seat configuration

    Just noting that the dropdown option when purchasing the multimac specifically says "Taycan (5 seat)" rather than Taycan generally.

    3 car seats in 2 back seat configuration

    That implies that the Taycan is a 5-seat configuration, rather than the 4 seater you’re contemplating buying.

    Taycan Owner in Florida USA Sues Insurance Company

    It's funny you say GEICO. I switched to them to cover my Taycan at more than half the rate of USAA for the same coverage. It's now $1800/year rather than $4000 per year for USAA.

    M3—>Taycan 4S

    FWIW I had a 2012 M3 comp package (i.e., "E90"), which is the last M3 with hydraulic steering and a true 8600RPM V8 - and while I wish I had kept it for track days, there's no comparison - they Taycan is a superior driving experience to me in every way.

    Loose leather at base of seat

    I doubt very much that's the case. I think they are all made in the same factories and on the same lines. The quality of the leather... that might be a different story... or maybe the way you get into and out of the car is just different. Or, maybe you got lucky.

    Loose leather at base of seat

    Thank you. I think it's a design issue on the latest generation of ventilated seats (there's a whole 6-page thread on it on another site if you google "saggy seat bottoms" "Porsche") but of course Porsche has a service bulletin that says, effectively, leather is a natural product and it...

    Loose leather at base of seat

    This happened to my seats. Porsche won't do anything about it. As @Tomato noted, you have to kind of push yourself off before you start to get out of the car because otherwise the torsion between your arse and the seat as you turn will cause the leather to stretch like that. I'm pissed off...

    Help me - I’m Scared!!?!

    What is depreciation? I've not heard of this before.

    Looking to sell Taycan in Bay Area CA

    Depending on the specifications, current market for that model and year is around $65-$70K for a private sale. Dealers will of course offer less because they need to make a profit. Best bet is probably to offer it locally on autotrader or through the PCA/Rennlist. Good luck.

    Pictures of the 2025 Taycan Turbo from SXSW

    It's fine in person, but doesn't "pop". A lot of that is the color they chose and the wheels.

    Ice grey or Dolomite?

    I'm all for color in other cars - I'd strongly prefer it in my own - but I just think personally the Taycan's lines do best in white/silver. I can't help it, as I really would prefer it otherwise.
