    Building a Taycan GT

    :CWL: I'd be unsurprised if _MOST_ of the weight savings are from deletion of the rear seats…cause ya'know it's an EV and there isn't much to be had in terms of weight savings.

    Depreciation, I lost money, I’m crying

    losing money on a leading edge techincal product that also happens to be a car - who'd of thought…completely 100% surprised - there should be an investigation and determine who is at fault and what can be done about it.

    same for me - I'm unconcerned - it will be back - they are clearing having technical issues.

    Track my Porsche/Dream Discontinued? (also posted in Macan EV forum).

    "working" is a matter of definition but my Macan order is listed on my personal my.porsche.com owner portal - but has no status at this time - the order has not yet shown up in my iOS "myPorsche" app - as to how well TYD ever worked that's a matter of debate, but it provided semi-accurate...

    What to know about buying an MY20?

    2019/2020 do not support the Plug&Charge protocol for FastDC chargers - but they can start charging at a FastDc charger if it's _FREE_ - the reason to use an app to start a charging session at a public/commercial EV charger is for billing purposes - the car has no way to identify itself to the...

    Puddle Lights, Practicality Thereof (U.S. market)

    ROFL - no I'm not - I actually saw two options the other day at the Monterey Porsche dealer car show on monday the 14th… leather fuse box panel leather AC vents I didn't care for the look on either of them - and those options remain on my personal "do not check that box" list…and now that I've...

    Puddle Lights, Practicality Thereof (U.S. market)

    for me it's a must have option on my Porsche's - not for the branding - but it does provide a visual reference when stepping out of the vehicle at night - I appreciate the visual reference and often times provides a valuable sanity check to avoid literal mis-steps getting out the car…it helps...

    ACC, Remote Park and Innodrive unavailable to order

    the good news is on an EV with regenerative braking such as the Taycan (Porsche says in normal use 90% of deceleration is handled by regeneration) brakes are used far far far less than on a conventional car - extending brake life and lower brake dust. Also other than appearance and a slight...

    '24 Taycan 4S build feedback

    correct the "Middle" seat stretches the definition of "seat" - I mostly recommend the 2+1 option because it gets you a different arrangement for the split fold down which I personally prefer (40/20/40)… 3 people in the back is no bueno even if they are children.

    '24 Taycan 4S build feedback

    can not order clear side indicated from factory for US vehicle's but it's an easy swap and many people do it - part is easily available and highly recommended.

    '24 Taycan 4S build feedback

    get the $460 400V/150 kW charger - it saves time and you'll want to drive the Taycan more than you realize - it's also not available as a retrofit - and the future is _NOW_ superchargers are already open to CCS vehicles and more reliable and plentiful. if you need to keep the price the same...

    So what are the 2024 changes?

    email sent to my local dealer sales manager - suggesting Porsche might want to get on the ball here and do something similar for their upcoming Macan EV… I suggest we all do the same to encourage PCNA to consider a similar approach. My suggesting is: Technical _ALL_ we need _IS_ the Adapter...
