With mamba green disappearing- I have this issue of the Porsche magazine and found this funny. Reminds me of: Apple says it took 'courage' to remove the headphone jack on the iPhone 7 https://www.theverge.com/2016/9/7/12838024/apple-iphone-7-plus-headphone-jack-removal-courage

https://finder.porsche.com/us/en-US/search?model=taycan&position=California,36,-119,6000&order=recommended_desc the "position" parameter takes: a string (can be anything, it's just for display) latitute, longitude distance in miles The form limits max distance value to 500, but that last...

I bet it was that Swarovski covered RR.. take some crystals to offset the cost. In all seriousness, the white looks like paint transfer from the pillar; try a paint polish applied by towel first (Meguiar’s ScratchX or similar). PDR might be possible, hopefully without requiring removing the PPF.

Thanks to your post here I did some reading into Porsche's headlight coating. I think your 2002 just predated when they started it. The STEK film applied by MD in July 2020 on my Model Y still looks very good. There's one notable blemish on there which came from a significant rock strike just a...

@whitex this appears to be the UV coating layer; the underlying acrylic plastic housing should be top quality; glass headlights don’t sound like a good idea as they would shatter and are not as optically-clear as acrylic (glass usually has green cast from iron content) read...

you should see the Toyota… https://www.autoindustriya.com/auto-industry-news/multiverse-does-ferrari-purosangue-look-like-the-toyota-crown-suv/amp I think it was on Harry’s Garage where they really thought about the design to eliminate need for rear wiper (wish this was option on the CT)

Could be, but I suspect there are architectural/software changes being tested on each Taycan variants spied- battery capacity, motor output changes. More videos on that same Youtube channel show the Boxter EV and Macan EV in the same environment. For one, Porsche really fine-tuned the electric...

Configurator appears to have a bug. Found a workaround by selecting all-season tire option for the appropriate wheel size first, instead of desired wheel. Works with base Taycan with Mission-E and PSCB.

I was watching the Tesla Investor Day stream today: https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/tesla-officially-opens-its-superchargers-in-the-us-for-all-evs

https://www.fuchsfelge.com/en/wheel-program/detail/porsche-taycan-exclusive-forg-wheel-556.html https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKU9J021MIS.html Configurator mentions forged as well

Amazing job! This is not a Cross Turismo- it’s a Sport Turismo GTS (Sport Design front, Spyder wheels, and definitely the GTS side skirts and marking)!

I’m surprised you say they’re heavy, as they are forged and a Porsche OEM wheel. The added mass may be for strength against bending, given the weight of the Taycan and aggressive driving? i have not seen posted weights for any Taycan OEM wheel. Pretty sure Tesla’s Model Y 21” wheels (not...

Agreed. I believe Fuchs produces the Mission-E design wheels https://www.fuchsfelge.com/en/wheel-program/modell/porsche-taycan.html Though for sake of preserving classic 911 heritage, they may not have another supplier.

Wife that’s encouraging a Taycan purchase.. I’d look at that as being very fortunate!

I’d like to add to this as I currently drive a 2020 Model Y Performance with the MPP comfort adjustable coilovers (also have a 2018 Model 3) with about 15K miles of seat time and have adjusted the compression/rebound settings 41 times now for my daily driving (just street, no track; I log all...

Would it help this conversation to know how the Porsche CEO classifies the Taycan? ;) https://www.whichcar.com.au/news/porsche-ceo-oliver-blume-tells-us-five-secrets https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/industry-news/porsche/oliver-blume/

I would remove foreign paint with a detailing clay bar and detailer spray (or car wash shampoo) as lubricant. That should be the least invasive to your car or PPF. The only time you would want to avoid the clay bar is when going over the film edges as it would slice the bar and leave residue on...

If your PPF did not already get a semi-permanent coating, you should look at Kamikaze Film Surface Coat. It’s a true ceramic coating that adheres to PPF- will boost self-cleaning and water beading for a long time. On my car, the coated PPF beats the ceramic coated paint on water beading and...

Thanks for that! I came from NY/NJ before moving here 6 yrs ago and to be honest I thought the roads here are pleasant by comparison. Roads are so bad over there a Tesla would not survive. Dealt with tire bubbles and flats frequently and 4-wheel alignment are necessary every year or 2. I do...

Congrats on your new car and the long trip home. Great write-up- it was an enjoyable read. When you had the charging problems, I hope you didn’t direct the anger at your car’s charge port! Hope to see you in the area.
