    Comfort Access

    Same! My RWD ST came with it even if I did not specced it. I have it as available as FUD options in the connect store as well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Porsche Assistance loan vehicle

    If the service doesn't take too long, Porsche Assist might also offer to reimburse some taxi fees. I was flying 3 days after they towed mine for a heater issue. I didn't take the loaner but got ~200 euros of taxi reimbursed.

    Take a new 2024 or wait for a 2025?

    Interested in what you have because I just checked and my lightly optioned 23 RWD ST come up as ~9k € cheaper than the 25. (18-way heated/cooled, matrix LED, RAS, air, Bose, PTV, 4+1). The increased battery size and charging speed is nice but is it 9k nicer? Maybe but IMO it's certainly not 31k...

    Why go for the Performance Battery Plus?

    On top of what everyone already said, the battery has a significant environmental impact in an EV. For me, reducing my environmental footprint is important and I frankly never regretted not having the PB+. As for range anxiety, it's a pre-purchase issue. Once you get use to EVs and infra (and as...

    Caution - Inspection BS - Dealership BS - Austin TX

    I guess there might be some situations where it would be ok but the manual clearly state that tires should be replaced in pair.

    Caution - Inspection BS - Dealership BS - Austin TX

    On top of what everyone said, Porsche does not allows a single tire replacement on an axle. They should always recommend replacement 2 or 4 tires.

    Heating Failure

    Waiting for the cold to set in is a god way to get overwhelmed. Maybe they should have preemptively replaced some during summer instead. I am still waiting for a reply from my dealer, but i hope I won’t have to call the towing on this. Mine is parked in an unheated but concrete garage at night...

    Heating Failure

    Just adding mine to the statistic. 2023 RWD, no heat this morning :(. I sent an email to my dealer to find out when they can replace the broken unit.

    CPO sold to me by Porsche dealer with damaged part.

    That is not what is stated in the CPO description. I understand that most x-points inspections are bullshit but if there is a windshield replacement history, the least they should do is to verify that it has been repaired properly. I would personally contact Porsche NA if you can’t get any...

    Intermittent ticking/pulsating sound after tyre change

    Have you checked if the balancing weights are not touching the brake caliper? I never had that issue my taycan but I had very little clearance on my Cayenne winter wheels which caused some rubbing when the weights were glued centrally.

    Which car gets more attention between Taycan and 911?

    My Taycan turns a lot of heads(maybe a bit too much?) but it might because it's Mamba Green. People are conservative around and bright colored cars are sparse. No one bats a eye on a 911 unless it's a winged GT3.

    Should I be worried? (12V battery question)

    The voltage you see is not the battery voltage but the voltage of the auxiliary system. When the car is not powered, this is basically the battery voltage (minus the voltage drop from current draw). While in operation, the voltage is regulated by the DC/DC converter pulling from the main battery...

    Charging etiquette. Would you do the same?

    I am in the clan that if someone hogging a limited charging infra while other could be using it is more disrespectful than unplugging someone else car. If you don't want your car to be unplugged, you should have the decency to either stay around or monitor the charge and get back swiftly when done.

    Quick question, Homelink Country code in Canada

    I can tell you mine (bought in France) has 1 as the homelink country code. That being said, I never been able to make it work with my apartment garage door that so I velcroed a remote under the center console instead. This way I don't have to touch the screen to activate the opener. I really...

    Any way to disable power steering plus?

    Basically means nothing. Knowing Porsche, PS+ might even have different setting for different model, I have yet tried a GTS but I bet it has less assistance.

    Any way to disable power steering plus?

    I asked the very same question a few months ago but I didn't get much of an answer. I don't like PS+ either but I optioned my Taycab with RWS so I am stuck with it. The steering is still very precise at low speed but feels looser and less communicative, at least compared to non PS+ or other...

    hakka r5 ev versus pirelli pzero winter

    I would personally stick with the N rated tires. I have Pirelli winter on my RWD (PTV+), live on a mountain road with some stretch over 20% grade and I am very pleased with them. Almost everyone around here have 4x4 with BFGs and they seem to struggle more than I do.

    Did you notice that the Porsche Taycan is delivered without Electrically operated steering column?

    Even for not so tall folks (5'8"), it makes things worst. It pushes the seat slightly behind the B pillar making ingress/egress awkward.

    Owning a Taycan (or any EV) without a garage. Is it possible? My experience

    I am in a very similar situation. I am lucky that I don't drive my car every day and get by most of the time walking and biking. When I got the car, I was pressuring my landlord to install an EVSE but after living with public charging for a month, I just said to him not to bother. There is a ton...

    Key Fob - keychain, lanyard or something else? What do you use? Post your pictures!

    Notice it's on a separate ring? Car key don't always follow me, but the fob is. The personal one has a physical backup and the one for work, I will gladly annoy the hell out of IT if anything happen. Loosing these would be a decent PITA but not the end of the world.
