I had a similar issue. The dealer ended up taking the driver's side B pillar apart and adding extra sound proofing material. It's quieter now, but on really rocky pavement I can hear some rattles.
Sorry to hear about the troubles. Hopefully they've provided you with a loaner at the very least.
Like everything else, EVs will have trouble, the biggest being maturity of infrastructure and support. ICE cars typically have a much broader supply chain and knowledge base for repairs so you...
The more chargers the better!
I can definitely say that without EA I wouldn't generally head to Walmart, but, we've stopped by several times in the last year while waiting for charging. All things considered, having mostly 50kw DCFC would be sufficient and gives folks time to run into the...
You can go into My Porsche. Tap Maps -> Charging -> Select Charging Station -> Select Pedestal. From there you'll be able to initiate the free charging for the station the car is plugged in to.
Something of note, I do find it less reliable than Plug and Charge. You might need a few tries to...
Probably raising the bar to limit competition.
I can see them asking for a gradual ramp up of the requirements (or just pay the fines / fees), such as having at least 1 charger working (even with reduced functionality and charged rates) make a specific charge site be 'online and available'...
I had a similar conversation with my accounting for a Rivian pre-order. His understanding is that even if you still haven't taken delivery of a vehicle, 2022 tax returns can be amended for the tax credit once you do.
However, to fall under the old rebate transition rules, the Binding Agreement...
The Spotify app is a big headache to be honest. Took me a bit to get the login set up on the car. Even using it, it will keep bouncing back between the app and Android Auto or just buffer / not play. It feels like it's confusing itself between the app on the car, Android Auto, and whatever my...
The three years of free charging follows the car and set up as annual subscriptions that renews the second and third year. You do need to make sure the car is properly transferred to you in My Porsche as the plan shows up there.
Still pretty happy with Taycan and don't regret not getting a Turbo S over Turbo. My real problem is not getting enough drive time. I work from home and we end up using our ICE pickup truck for Bay Area / LA trips and most errands (Wife's garden always needs something).
Prices for all cars are dropping fast due to increased supply and interest rates. Slowest for highly desirable cars (sporty manual transmission cars for example). Collectible cars are a different matter all together.
I expect the Taycan to hold up decently as an EV, though not at all expecting...
I have PPF on my car and a few chips in the film itself, one looks pretty close to making it all the way through. Not something that can be helped unfortunately. Driving any car give you opportunities for rock chips. If you do go for PPF it will be thicker than a color wrap. The difference is...
Yikes! That is a huge rate hike.
It's manufacturer dependent. I've have experiences rates locked to the lower of current market vs. rates at the time of order. We were offered 0.9% (rates at time of order August 2021) for our most recent car when market rates were 4-5% (Nov 2022) or so in the US.
