  1. NEW Updated 2025 Taycan Reviews Are Here!

    Possible, but simpler is that they just reversed the video, and it's actually an unplug.
  2. Red Circle of Death - has anyone had this and then been diagnosed by Porsche as a 12v battery issue?

    There's some bad cells in it definitely. Range has reduced significantly, but in a 2015 there's no range guarantee other than "completely failed pack", and that almost never happens because they just stop using bad cells. Newer models have a range guarantee.
  3. Red Circle of Death - has anyone had this and then been diagnosed by Porsche as a 12v battery issue?

    They replaced the battery in my Model S at 18k miles and I wish they did it again. Porsche is clearly going through teething issues with their first BEV, but I prefer them being proactive here.
  4. New Porsche Taycan first drive: real-world range test (Autocar)

    Huh. Didn't realize I was a lady now. Thanks for letting me know!
  5. Taycan Raw Motor and Shifting Sound Recording (From Laguna Seca Track)

    I love it. Great job. Really deep into Andretti on that first lap ;-)
  6. Insurance - Tesla rates

    I got Tesla insurance when it first came out. They couldn't figure out billing. Dropped me for non-payment without notice. Then sent me an apology letter and begged me to come back. I figured if an insurance company can't even figure out how to take in money... which is the whole point of it...
  7. Rivian adopting Tesla NACS charging standard!

    Hah, they must have sold all 37 to folks on my commute. I swear I see 10-15 each way.
  8. Tesla Fanboy Journey

    BTW, range-wise… our 2015 P90DL (v1 battery pack) only rates at 230mi fully charged now - and I've never hit close to what it rates. My Turbo shows 265mi and it seems to actually hold to its mileage. I feel like Innodrive is pretty close to AP1. Lane holding isn't as good but the "symbiotic...
  9. Taycan Turbo S CPO - Track Experience Car? Advice Needed.

    I was looking for a Gen5 ACR Viper for a while. Found a great one - decent miles so it had been used but not too many. Was in great shape, everything looked splendid. Checked the CarFax and saw it was company owned. Same deal. It had been a track rental car - even traced it to the outfit that...
  10. A modest proposal…NCAS port in North America on the driver's side…

    I think your envelope might be dirty? ;-) 0.1 ohm for a meter or two cable would be a lot. I wouldn't be shocked if they were using something like 00 cable which isn't that huge (~9mm diameter) and that has a nominal resistance of 0.4 milliohms / meter, so you're off by a few orders of...
  11. PCM unresponsive to touch

    Yeah, I've seen it once, and there have been other reports on here that I've seen (since I looked for it when I hit it). It's annoying.
  12. Impressions/thoughts after buying a used 2022 Taycan RWD in the USA (long)

    I'd pedantically argue that a 35 is still low profile, just less low profile than a 30. But yes, the extra ~14mm does make a difference.
  13. 2020 Taycans still a good buy?

    Wow! Congratulations! Welcome to the club :)
  14. Pink Wrapped Taycan

    I love the black handles with the powered charge port. I think it ties that crease in together. But I may be biased since mine is set up that way ;-)
  15. 2020 Taycans still a good buy?

    If it's the Carlsbad one, I had a great experience buying my (new) Taycan from Andre Serpoosh there a few weeks ago. He was super responsive and great to work with. And I did it all remotely from up here in San Jose over phone / text.
  16. 2020 Taycans still a good buy?

    Edit the URL where you'll see %2C500 and add another 0 to get all of the US.
  17. Launch control very impressive

    Mission E wheels with the stock Goodyears.
  18. Is the Taycan quieter than the Boxster, for road noise especially?

    Yes, the SNR is definitely much better even with the road noise. What I think is interesting is that I almost find the gray concrete here more annoying in the Porsche because it's so much more silent the rest of the time. But you're still talking about a much lower noise flor even over things...
  19. Launch control very impressive

    Honestly I've been a little frustrated with Launch Control. In my Turbo it's never launched perfectly, the TC is always kicking in and I'm getting rear wheel hop. I wonder if there's something slightly up with mine? By comparison our Ludicrous and M3P+ cars always launched flawlessly. Their TC...
