    CT custom order - group wisdom requested

    Wanted to offer another positive point for VLC. We added it and are quite happy because our toddler frequently rides in the back. In the summer, if she's napping, it's helpful to mute the sun a bit. It's also pretty cool. Yes, the novelty wears off, but it's a great party trick. We were the...

    Do you guys pay markup or MSRP for your Taycan?

    $20k ADM was Bellevue around the first week of January 2022. They told me it's free to be on the list, but until we give them $20k, they wouldn't move us on the list (so it seemed pointless to be on the wait list there). Tacoma was $10k, but by then I was already determined to search around the...

    Do you guys pay markup or MSRP for your Taycan?

    The two closest dealers asked for 20k and 10k to get on the list for the GTS. I ended up emailing around the country and found Porsche of the Main Line in PA that sold at MSRP. Everything worked out great and we picked up at PECLA. The initial conversation with the local SA who told us unless...

    Is Porsche using cheap materials?

    And still hijacking the thread... Where can I find details about this event? I didn't buy the Taycan from Bellevue because of their ADM policy, but am curious to see/meet other Taycan-owners in the PNW area.

    Cross Country in a Cross Turismo

    We were gonna forego PPF, but after bringing the car back from PECLA to Seattle we ended up doing it. We picked up a few small nicks on the bumper and a bunch on the rear fenders. I'm glad we did it mostly because I don't worry so much whether we were too close to another car or if the road has...

    Cross Country in a Cross Turismo

    Congratulations -- glad you had a good trip getting back to Washington! I end up using Porsche ACC pretty often on the freeway and learned to trust it after using it in the LA traffic. I still hover over the brake pedal but haven't had it misbehave. I did learn that when changing lanes it will...

    Sport Sound Owners - Do You Use It Most of the Time?

    We have a baby and she calms down faster with the sport sound, so it's always on.

    Seattle Wheel Repair

    I was recently researching the same. I found Rain City Wheels in Kirkland (https://www.raincitywheels.com/) can powder coat the wheels after refinishing them -- $250 and takes 2 days. In Seattle I found Complete Wheel Repair (http://www.completewheelrepair.com/). I found they're not very...

    PEC LA to Seattle, WA over 4 days/3 nights - Taycan GTS delivery trip

    I think I misinterpreted the preheat/cool option on the charging screen. I thought it conditions the battery, but looks like it's only for the internal climate.

    PEC LA to Seattle, WA over 4 days/3 nights - Taycan GTS delivery trip

    Good point! We do have this turned on, which probably explains why we only got ~200kW at most. Thanks for this! We used the Porsche navigation but it didn't always select the same stops for charging. I did figure it out toward the end of the second day and the third day, but I don't remember...

    PEC LA to Seattle, WA over 4 days/3 nights - Taycan GTS delivery trip

    We got lucky to pick up our Taycan GTS from PEC LA right before the holidays. We have a newborn and brought her along with us. I used ABRP to sketch out the trip and PlugShare to check on chargers along the way. Being paranoid, I also signed up for EVGO, ChargePoint, and EVCS ahead of time just...
