  1. VW Group (Porsche, Audi, Scout) Commits to NACS

    yes, although apparently the BEV Macan will do this too
  2. VW Group (Porsche, Audi, Scout) Commits to NACS

    it was literally my answer to every question on the survey, regardless of the question.
  3. Do you remember last time your filled up your ICE car?

    Costs over $120 to fill up my 911. Usually spend about $10 / week on the taycan.
  4. Depreciation

    Different regions have different standards, but in the US wardrobe doesn’t matter nearly as much as just making an appointment. A friend referring your to their SA is also a good connection, but if that’s not possible, just calling and making an appointment ahead of time works wonders. Cold...
  5. Long term Taycan owners: Are you still enjoying the car every day? Does it still feel special?

    No car is perfect for all people in all conditions. The 911 TTS comes the closest, to me, but being a jack of all trades sports car is also master of none. the taycan is just outstanding as a daily driver with rush hour traffic. So comfortable, quiet, smooth, fast. No clutch slip at low stop...
  6. Depreciation

    this is normal for the panamera and cayenne and other product lines. It’s really just some of the most special sports cars that play by different rules. Even the high end 911 TTS has historically taken a big hit, at least before 2020. Basically, panamera < 911 < GT < limited editions most of...
  7. Porsche wrecked in crash on A6 in Preston and driver 'dealt with'

    Lol. It says in the article. Driver received a summons.
  8. Gearbox: totally unnecessary.

    #neverscrollup the gearbox exists because that was the only way the j1 platform could hit the minimum saleable range targets with the battery tech and power train efficiency they had. The End
  9. Going From 22 to 23. Would You Do It?

    No. In my jurisdiction there’s no tax credit for trade ins. A huge cost to switch for just one year. I have a ‘22 with the glass roof and don’t find the variable roof, while cool, to be like $50k cool.
  10. My move from Taycan 4S to Turbo -- real difference is the way it drives

    429hp vs 616hp. Not quite 50% more power. the transmission will still kick down, but it’s unusual since you just don’t need more power very often. I also use the chrono sport dial on the steering wheel to change modes regularly if I anticipate wanting a little more vigor ….
  11. Which service add ons are worth buying?

    In general, the standard Porsche warranty for new cars is great for BEV. The tire and wheel package … I have terrible tire luck so I got it. Ymmv
  12. Taycan refesh with updated tech alongside the Macan?

    Anyway, no, a refreshed Taycan will come out after the macan launch. Porsche is an SUV company with a motorsports division. They won’t risk messing up the macan EV. It’s nearly existential
  13. Taycan refesh with updated tech alongside the Macan?

    It’s going to be a lot heavier, so it’ll need more hp, and hp is really cheap to add to EV. I could see 600hp!!! (only in overboost in launch control, otherwise 500 99.9% of the time) like the taycan TTS has 770hp! Lolz not really. The Cayenne could easier do taycan levels and slot above a...
  14. New family car

    The taycan is a fantastic daily, family car to pair with a lot of v8s. Or v12s. Or a wonderful selection of totally impractical supercars…
  15. Porsche Launch a 2 Door Taycan with Aero Blades

    Taycan is still faster to 60 …
  16. Anyone bored of EV?

    Yup. this is living your best life
  17. 🏁 Taycan GT / GT3 / GT4 prototype (or hot performance variant) spotted?!

    it almost outsold the 911. One of the Porsche execs (CFO? don't recall) bragged about how large the BEV premiums they could charge to their customers. So not much risk of abandoning the taycan.
  18. 🏁 Taycan GT / GT3 / GT4 prototype (or hot performance variant) spotted?!

    batteries are never going to be swapped quickly first, batteries are becoming structural chassis elements, as Tesla is showing. This offers significant weight savings and is much much more valuable to performance than hot swappable batteries. second, the improvements to charging architecture...
  19. Accused of using Laser Jammer (don’t have one)

    he aimed at the aero designed grill instead of just the side of your car and is sad his aim sucks ?
  20. Taycan vs Water

    exactly. Water seeping into the cabin will damage a huge amount of things and the mold may be impossible to remove
