    FS: Jet Black MY22 Taycan 4 CT (South Australia)

    Jet Black Taycan 4 CT with 3,150KM on the odometer for sale. Just moved to the city for work. No longer have access to home charging and am driving infrequently, so doesn't make sense to keep it. Car Sales link...

    CT 4S Volcano Grey Gets XPEL Stealth PPF

    Those Ionity chargers absolutely rip! I’m looking forward to testing our equivalent 350kW chargers here in Australia when I eventually take delivery. ?

    ? PCM 6 Update Announcement [Update: Retrofit Being Explored For Existing Taycans]

    Yes, I think that was a little unusual though and probably in response to the outcry at the revised interface; they got it very wrong and had to iterate quickly. Tesla can make mistakes because they have a faster feedback loop and their customers have been trained to expect rapid change. Porsche...

    Range ~ Any tips to increase range?

    Are you struggling with range on a day-to-day basis? Or have you experienced range anxiety on longer trips? With all of the EVs I’ve owned so far I have found the best thing you can do to combat range anxiety is to work out a regular charging schedule if you drive the car daily and then plan...

    The past few days I’ve noticed the site becoming quite slow and have started seeing the following error page from CloudFlare after every ten or so page loads: Is anybody else experiencing this?

    Recovering Configuraholic

    I feel you. My 4S CT doesn’t lock for another few weeks. I’m rationing my configurator time between now and then. One quick peek per week. Last week while I was at the dealer signing off the latest changes ( massaging seats :facepalm:) I bought a demonstrator Macan S. It felt so freeing to not...

    ? PCM 6 Update Announcement [Update: Retrofit Being Explored For Existing Taycans]

    The Taycan will be my first (modern) Porsche. I just sold my Tesla Model 3 Performance, which I drove daily for the past 18 months. I sold the Tesla to get away from what is, essentially, an iPad on wheels. The grass may look greener over in Tesla land but there were plenty of bugs, rough...

    Car is super noisy on highway

    Did the 20s work to reduce the noise?

    GTS Build Feedback

    I was under the impression that three phase AC supply at home would allow faster charging and take advantage of the 19.2kW on board option. E.g (19,200W / 240V) / 3 = 26.6A per phase, which should be fine for a home supply. Also, there are three-phase level 2 chargers out in the wild that...

    Porsche electric sport sound YES/NO?

    Before I walked in for a test drive I was dead set against the sport sound. I've owned two other EVs and both made only the barest whispers at low speed as required by local safety legislation. I have always been leery of the artificial sound in modern sports cars because it seemed like...

    Sydney-bound: Hoegh Detroit

    You did well to get this so quickly. I ordered in Adelaide first week of Jan, allocation/build is for April with earliest delivery expected in July. It seems like an age!

    My Ride here at last - 2022 Volcano Grey CT4S

    Congrats. Love how the off road design 20s look in these pictures. Interested to see what affect they, if any, they have on range over the Aeros.

    Australian deliveries?

    Nine months… ouch. The wait is almost over. You must be excited now!

    Australian deliveries?

    Also in Adelaide. I ordered a CT 4S a couple of weeks back (start of Jan). Allocation is for April. Current configuration (subject to much hand wringing about wheel choice) is here: http://www.porsche-code.com/PN1BEU79. Haven't seen any CTs on the road in SA yet but I know there have been a...

    Your other electric vehicle

    We have a 2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance and a 2015 BMW i3. The Tesla's technology, software and range is far superior to the BMW but the i3 has far better fit and finish and (even being five years older than the Tesla) has fewer squeaks and rattles. I prefer the i3 over the Model 3 in almost...

    Racetex Headliner - happy with it?

    I just tried to add Race-Tex B Pillars to my build and got this slightly confusing message: I have the panoramic roof option checked so it doesn’t make sense that I would need the roof lining option in order to add the B Pillars. Any ideas what’s going on here?

    Driving Assistance Thread: ACC, LKA, ALK, and InnoDrive

    Thanks for the plain explanations of this technology. I tried to get my SA to explain InnoDrive yesterday and it did not go well. Eventually he found out that it’s not available in this market (Australia), which saves me the headache of trying to decide if I’m missing out. The 4S CT I’ve...

    High amount of second hand Taycans on the market ?

    Similar story here in Australia. I count 7 Taycan sedans listed for resale (no CTs yet, still too new), all above list price. Stock is very low in this market and people will have to pay a premium if they want to get into a car.

    What happens if you run out of charge while on the road?

    I think we’re going to start seeing more BEVs with vehicle-to-vehicle charging capabilities in the not too distant future, which will give us more options. Ford’s F-150 Hybrid already does this and the Lightning BEV will do the same. I think the Lucid Air will also do car-to-car. I’m sure there...

    Chart: Taycan Cross Turismo ground clearance heights -- with and without Offroad Design Package

    G’day! Thanks for the insight. I had a similar experience with the SA who explained that increased ride height was the main selling point of the package. I’m definitely keen to give my CT the best possible chance at surviving in off road scenarios. Here in Australia ~60% of our public roads are...
