I’m in the same boat. Stopped by Porsche today and they told me the vehicle has now been released for transport. They expect the car to be on a truck any day now…
Yes, I’m doing the front + hood. Got a quote through the dealer.
Yes, I’ve already ordered the clear side markers from SunCoast and my dealer will install them when I pick up the car.
It’s from another member - posted in the charging and battery section of the forum:

Good to hear a positive “EA-just-worked” story!!!
Another big factor in the increased efficiency in “stop and go traffic” is that you’re driving at lower speeds. So you’re covering distance with very minimal air resistance (as we’ve discussed after Toms original post, speed really drives up...
Is anyone else that got dropped off in Benicia still showing “Port Processing”? My TYD shows port processing complete but according to TYD and my SA the car is not on a truck yet. With the snow and the Christmas break, that’s not surprising - but I’m getting impatient with the car so close, yet...
Exactly!!! I love it!
Like someone else posted: Hopefully you’ll have other charging options since charging at 1kW is going to take a while :)
With what we’ve learned so far - and not accounting for charging losses, it will take you 79 hours at 1kW (power) to gain 79kWh of energy and take your...
I borrowed this from one of our “stickies” in the charging section. This should give you an idea of what to expect. Was your 60kW consistent with the graph?
Great! You’ll learn really fast - and once you get used to it, it’s actually super simple and refreshing not to have to go to a gas station.
99% of your charging will probably just be plugging in the Taycan in your garage when you come back home.
Also: I really don’t see anything surprising here.
A) I would charge to 100% before I left if I knew I would be cutting it close.
B) Energy consumption is related to velocity (let’s just call it speed) and increases with the square of the speed. So if you’re going 110mph, you will never get...
Huh?
Power = the rate at which we charge (or discharge). It is measured in Watts (or more commonly for EVs in kilowatts (kW)
Power is calculated as current * voltage.
Energy is a measure of how much you’ve stored in your EVs battery. It is measured in kilowatt hours (kWh). It is a measure of...
Oh, and your car looks stunning. Wife and I weren’t brave enough to go for Frozen blue when we ordered, but I have to say it has been growing on me…
Congrats!
That sounds like you were charging on a “level 2 charger”. They have a standard plug (like the one you got installed at home probably). It’s an AC charger.
It’s really comparable to plugging in at home.
In order to charge fast in the wild you’ll want to find a DC charging station that can...
