    GTS alcantara steering wheel dust on brushing

    I recently dusted my GTS race tex steering wheel for the first time in almost 2 years with one of these brushes. It didn't look that dirty or anything but a cloud of dust flew off. So no, you're not alone. If you want less dust, it's worth spraying a microfiber towel with some gentle Alcantara...

    Email from Porsche: Mobile Charger current set to 50% as a precaution -- - utter BS - OMG they don't think they have a problem…

    AT LEAST they plan on sending another update to preserve your set amperage. Regardless, I couldn’t stand the PMCC anymore so I recently installed a JuiceBox and omg it’s light years better. Instant connection and super reliable so far. It’s totally worth the extra few hundred bucks imho. Now I...

    Rattle Inside Sport Chrono Clock (Video)

    My sports chrono clock sometimes makes a chattering noise over certain types of rougher pavements. It usually happens after a few minutes of driving, but isn’t consistent. I attached a video…turn up the volume to hear the noise. Has anyone else had this issue? It does not appear to be an issue...

    I saved it under my Individual drive mode settings. So I still have to flip the sport chrono dial to Individual each time I start the car, but I set it to automatically enable sport sound regen coasting.

    Not really. I've gotten used to it to the point where I have to listen hard for it, otherwise it's not noticeable anymore. Perhaps it's louder on the CT/ST than the sedan?

    Pay cash or finance ??

    OP, I went through the EXACT same internal debate when I took delivery of my GTS in July with basically the exact same price and rate as you. I had the option to pay cash and was planning to do so up until the very last minute when I realized that the unfavorable market conditions at the time...

    CHALK Taycan Club

    I collected my chalk GTS 2 weeks ago and it’s been a blast. We just got back from Big Sur and did some epic coastal driving. Enjoy the pics!

    Congrats! You’re in for a real treat :) The only thing I wish I’d gotten was the power charge port cover. Wouldn’t change anything else.

    Midway through driving a couple days ago, my regenerative braking suddenly kicked in! I had just under 600 miles on it at the time.

    Bordeaux Red is a fine choice too! That would’ve been my other choice. Re: Regen. I get how it works with the modes but I noticed regen only kicks in when I lift my foot off the accelerator. When I brake, the green meter does not increase, which probably means that the algo is trying to bed in...

    Thanks for sharing. Interesting that others are having account issues…My account shows up as “activated” on Porsche’s end and the PCM accepts my login credentials, but it doesn’t actually let me access the account. I also did activate Porsche Connect services already. So I called PCNA and have...

    Hmm no there was never a stop sale put on the car. It was built in May after the cutoff for the recall. It’s updated to the latest software during PDI afaik. Hopefully this is an easy fix. I suspect Porsche’s servers didn’t properly update and it might not even be the car’s problem. Will find...

    Yep. I have the steering wheel’s diamond button set to the next music track and the instrument cluster shortcut set to Homelink. I set the sport sound with my individual mode so I just turn the dial to enable it. But I just found it a bit odd that when you do turn it on in normal mode for...

    I have the standard roof. It blocks out sun just fine. I also did not want to risk a delayed delivery date by opting for VLC in case there was a missing part or something. And it wasn’t worth the extra few grand for me personally but definitely a cool feature! Did you spec it on your GTS ST?

    Thanks! Yeah, I have it scheduled for service in a couple of weeks. Fortunately I don’t have to reprogram all my settings every time I start the car, so it’s just a matter of two extra screen taps. It’s the lack of remote app access that bugs me most, though.

    Overview After 8 long months of anticipation, I finally took delivery of my Taycan GTS last week. Despite a supply chain crisis, a war, and a shipwreck, I was lucky enough to receive the car just 1 week later than my original delivery estimate with no markup. Redwood City Porsche was incredibly...

    CHALK Taycan Club

    I have a very similar spec! My GTS just arrived a couple of days ago, too. Chalk with GTS interior / Carmine Red stitching. Absolutely love the color combo. Here are some untouched photos. Will post better ones after I take it home this week!
