    2026 Taycan 4S CT order status mystery

    Unusual these days. My original 2023 4S was held at the port in Emden for 4 months over "heatergate."

    How did I do with this buy? 2025 Cross Turismo Turbo S

    Seems like a minor impact if all they had to do was R&R the doors. Not much more $ than a Porsche dealer would charge for a minor repair.

    How do I make this car prettier? What would you do?

    Satin XPEL Or another PPF if white doesn’t do it for you.

    Pano Roof - add ceramic tint?

    I ordered a similar one from eBay 3 years ago for under $90. Fit is good and I leave it on permanently.

    Would be interesting to see Porsche score broken out between IC and EV.

    Porsche Ordered to Buy Back Taycan That Charged at 9.6 kW, Not 11 kW

    Same situation using an Emporia 48 Amp charger. OTA applied, but I still pull 10.8-11.0 kW. Perhaps is is just linked to the Porsche charger?

    Selling Taycan with built-in radar detector... That's broken

    I had a K40 installed in a Lexus a few years back and understand what you're saying about the LEDs. They are extremely subtle. My two cents - leave it in and disconnect it from power under the dash to keep the LEDs from lighting. The K40 typically has a jumper with a fuse connector or a plug...

    The Macan EV is not as bad as I thought

    Like @sergyindy, I have a GTS on order. We compared the turbo to our 2019 Cayenne S side-by-side at a dealership and found it was nearly identical in size. Price and increased size ruled out the new Cayenne EV. The GTS will replace the old Cayenne and be our daily “utility” vehicle alongside...

    Radar Detector Recommendations

    I've had very good luck with Escort Redline 360. My daughter has a portable unit that worked well for me when I used it from Colorado to AZ last year (picking up a 911 in C Springs). If you're a "spirited" driver and plan on keeping your Defender a while, consider the Redline 360 ci. This is...

    found my perfect CPO except for being white instead of carrara white metallic - deal killer or no biggie?

    White is a good base for a wrap. We didn’t like any of the stock colors on our Carrera so order it in white. 3M PPF. No regrets.

    Taycan Order Tracking Guide (V Codes / Status Explained)

    just ordered a new Macan EV GTS. I have to admit the upgrade to the MyPorsche app has improved the tracking gymnastics we all went through. Let’s see how this plays out.

    Range Drop

    "Taycan does very well at highway speeds compared to other EV, but range at highway speeds is lower than city drives...." Ditto my experience. Max range with single digits left driving my 2021 Turbo at highway speeds (75-80 mph) is 200 miles and lower if temps are cold.

    US DC Charging: Circle K/Ionna & Walmart - articles

    I’ve used the Walmart “native” chargers a couple of times. Very smooth experience.

    Back glass crack

    When my rear window on the sedan was replaced, I had them run the new piece over to my tinting shop to have the tint put on before installing. Saved a lot of angst.

    App to trigger battery preconditioning by sending a dummy HPC destination – does this already exist?

    I have not tested this specifically, however, I have put an EA charger destination into Porsche NAV and don't recall any noticeable increase in battery temp upon arrival. Are you saying that if Porsche NAV has a recognized network charging station set as a destination the battery should...

    $1000+ for a 4 year visual inspection?

    I'm at 35K miles and changed the cabin filter and wiper blades myself about the same time as the brake line recall (23K miles). My service rep did a service reset to 43K miles as part of the last battery-related recall. They also did a full inspection. Zero cost.

    App to trigger battery preconditioning by sending a dummy HPC destination – does this already exist?

    The functionality definitely needs to improve. I've found myself setting a fictitious route that intersects the charging point I want sometimes works. @PDAZ is right. A shortfall that needs to be improved. I hope @chun is right about a fix.

    The Longer You Wait, The More It Can Cost (Extended Coverage)

    Do age and mileage within the manufacturer's warranty also affect the price?
