While on a trip from Arizona to Texas I had the pleasure of meeting @ciaranob for breakfast in Bellaire TX this morning. We had a terrific chat - time passed so quickly! Amazing how our professional careers are so closely related...

I'm exploring the idea of importing a used RHD Taycan to the USA for that extra 'wow' factor on top of the 'cool' factor that the Taycan already commands. What are the pros and cons of importing? Used car prices are currently soft. As an example, I'm seeing several 2021 and 2022 Turbos...

Earlier this week I was charging my 2022 RWD at the Electrify America station at the Las Vegas (Nevada USA) South Premium Outlets. This station was fenced off in early October, but the construction is complete. It looks like the next generation of EA chargers were installed, and folks took the...

What do you do when you are forced to contend with road rage? I’ve seen a couple of those ‘Idiots in Cars’ videos on YouTube, and I thought something like that could never happen to me. But it nearly happened yesterday as I was driving eastbound on Interstate 10 towards downtown Phoenix Arizona...

I purchased my 2022 RWD in June and qualify for the US$7,500 EV tax credit. I suspect, however, that I won't get the credit if I'm owed a refund on my 2022 tax return. Can anyone confirm if this is true? If true, I'll try to eliminate withholding taxes for the rest of the year.

My RWD was built in April 2022 and has colored icons. I just received a letter from Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) to schedule the big software uPdate. I emailed the Service Manager at my dealership to schedule an appointment, and he replied with the following: "Thank you for reaching out...

Howdy fellow Taycan enthusiasts! For the past couple of months, I’ve been reviewing and comparing several great posts from colleagues about what to look for when picking up a new Taycan at the dealership. I’ve come across a few USA-based ideas of my own as old software and apps become obsolete...

Is anybody else's cable 16 feet long (5 m)? After collecting my RWD three days ago, I took mine out today and was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting 8 feet (2.7 m).

After putting down a deposit nearly six months ago, my new RWD arrived at the dealership, and I’ll be picking it up soon! I compiled some classic rock songs for the intentionally long drive home. What songs would you (or have you) put in your playlist for your first drive home? Bron-Yr-Aur (Led...
