I’ve been driving my new Taycan 4S in NYC with no front plate for two months, often right next to or behind cop cars, with no stops so far. Now that I’m writing this, though, I’m sure the next time I drive I’ll get busted. My strategy is to just pay the fine if I have to and hope it doesn’t...

Anyone have recommendations for ceramic coating in (or near) NYC? Preferably Ceramic Pro. Relatedly, does it matter if a shop is a “certified installer” for Ceramic Pro? (E.g., is it better to have a car dealership that is certified do it, or go to a detailing shop that isn’t certified but is...

Very exciting for you, and good to know. My ship arrived at the port today so hopefully I’ll be able to get it by the weekend after this.

That’s great news, thanks and congrats!

Thanks – are stop sales or missing parts something the dealer finds out only upon delivery (they wouldn’t know already)?

I’m on the Supreme Ace and the ship tracking sites say it’s estimated to arrive in Davisville on June 6. My TYD says June 10 arrival in port and June 24 arrival at dealership (in New Jersey). The dealership is a 3.5 hour drive from Davisville. If the ship arrives June 6, then 18 days seems like...

Yeah I lived in NYC for 10+ years without a car and I still Uber/Lyft a lot, but I now have a young child and greater needs to have my own set of wheels, so it’s more about figuring out how to reduce the risk of the Taycan getting damaged (some great tips so far – doing a one-page guide for...

Thanks for that info! I’m about a 15-20 minute walk from there so might be a bit far if I end up using the car every day, but it’s great to know that option’s there. I just visited a bunch of the lots near me and the better ones are 100% full! Craziness.

Congrats! How many days ahead of TYD estimated schedule did the ship get to the dock? im on Sunshine Ace, estimated TYD to arrive in Davisville June 10 but the maritime tracker sites say June 6

I’m similarly worried mostly about the scrapes and small dings here and there from just not paying close enough attention, which won’t be enough to warrant an insurance claim but will be sad and diminish the car’s awesomeness. Might install one of those motion activated dash cams that has a...

I’ve learned to never underestimate the potential of stupidity (or, even worse, the complete lack of caring!)

I think I will have to do that – unfortunately in New York City there are almost no self-parking garages (and only a small number of apartment buildings have parking lots with deeded individual parking spots). Almost all lots (and all the ones within walking distance from me) are ones where the...

I live in NYC and, sadly, my only option is going to be handing over my keys every day to a valet to park and retrieve my soon-to-arrive Taycan from a cramped NYC garage (that makes Tetris look easy) with steeply inclined driveways. I read in another thread recently something about Taycans...

Anyone have a side view production photo of a Gentian Blue sedan? Unfortunately my fourth photo (which would’ve been that side view) has an error and won’t load but I’d love to see what that looks like!

Hi All – my 4S has been in Emden Port since May 13 and is supposed to be on the ship May 20 and arrive in Davisville port at Rhode Island on June 3, arriving at dealer June 24. How do I figure out which ship the car is likely to go on?

I got these 3 and there’s a 4th one but the link doesn’t work. Was hoping I’d get a side view like one of the earlier posters did! But very grateful to get anything at all.

Very exciting – glad we’ve got this emotional support group here. Quite a roller coaster with all the delays, etc.

any luck today?

I’m getting the 404 error too! I’ve been checking each day and it just appeared today, but my moment of excitement quickly ended with that error message. Hopefully it’s only temporary and it’s a good sign that it’s affecting others too (hopefully normal).

My 4S started production May 5 and estimated delivery date in New York is July 1. Also don’t see production photo (checked using the method described in the other thread as well). Hoping that shows up!
