Yall with the tin foil hats. 😂 Payments are likely slow because there’s an influx and they probably assigned 2 people to take care of these. This type of situation would not get prioritized resources. Those two people will go back to their day jobs after this is done.
Yeah, it’s hard to say if it’s an egregious percentage of vehicles, but it certainly doesn’t feel super great to see so many real-life examples…
Oh the other hand I really miss it and can’t wait to get it back!
Interesting to hear some areas need to have someone flown in or can’t repair on site. My dealer (Austin) said they have the correct tools and staff to do it, only had to get Porsche to review logs and determine whether they would replace cells or the whole battery. They said they do the test in...
That’s too bad really. These problems are not specific to Porsche (maybe save the crazy Porsche tax) nor are they uncommon across the EV sector as a whole - every EV is dropping value like a meteor, EVs tend to take less regular maintenance but seem a little bit more nightmarish when something...
That sucks, sorry man.
Separately, these exorbitant repair costs coupled with wild depreciation is exactly why we’re about to see a ton of Taycan’s patch-worked together - busted windshields, dents/scrapes, shitty aftermarket wheels, etc. Low entry fee into Porsche World and then BAM, you...
I believe that’s only the case if you optioned that glass.
I do not have that glass and have my Uniden R7 mounted off the rear view mirror using a BlendMount solution, and haven’t had any issues with range.
So assuming they ran power from the front (you should clarify how they’ve done this) and didn’t use something like a vampire clip to tap into the harness in the rear, I’d have just sat there with the tech and pulled that wire out myself to show it wasn’t tapped into the harness.
Is it the...
Also worth noting that seemingly none of the staff were from Porsche, likely all contractors.
The kind lady next to the Taycan GTS inside told me “this is our fastest model going 0-60 in 2.4 seconds!”
I just smiled and nodded. Poor people are trying 😂
I had a base loaner today while my 4S CT was getting the windshield replaced. Similar thoughts to yours although I came away impressed from the base:
- Fun RWD only was ready to be squirrelly at times
- Noticeably lighter (less one motor, sedan variant, no air suspension)
- The suspension was...
