Please write your compliments stories, I am interested to hear them, It will be my first Porsche car in Sweden.
I had other sports cars before I am 27 now and change my mind to be the Porsche guy.
If you are getting the car for the compliments you will get you might want to consider moving country to a more outgoing extravert one 😉

All I see is people admiring the car and then a look of abject disappointment come over them when I am middle aged out of shape lardass dressed like a hobo gets out of it.
I started dressing more like a hobo since getting the Taycan.

I got a few comments when it was new, but now it's such a relatively common car so I haven't heard anything for a while.

Oddly enough, red is apparently not the right colour for a Porsche, as I have been told by multiple different strangers for some reason.

Hell… they couldn’t be more wrong. I’d go for it but in Southern California driving a red Porsche is begging every cop in a 10 mile radius to give you a ticket 🤣🤣

Tesla stories don't count! tell me about women ;) lol jk...
Thanks
I've had many women flash their front headlights at me.
And occasionally I've had them get the horn.

I always stop and pull over in case they are desparate for something.


*it's all lies unfortunately. 😆

I also always remember what my friend who has had many top end cars said when I was out in his Ferrari many years ago and people were looking at it.

"Just ignore them. They love the car but hate the driver. Most blokes are jealous"

In a local grocery store parking lot last week, a Tesla driver challenged me to a drag race.

A short time ago I attended a wedding that had some very well known celeb's from the sports world. Upon leaving, I was standing waiting for my car and as it approached one of the celebs asked me if it was the new Porsche EV. He was confused by the hum it was making at low speed as the valet approached. After acknowledging that it was an EV, he said to me " This car is really nice and good luck with it". This compliment is the only one I have ever received with the Taycan. Considering that it came from someone wealthy enough to buy a fleet of Bugatti's, it meant something special to me.

I received some nice compliments on my Taycan from someone whom I greatly respect that happens to live nearby. In my view, a true American hero and a very well-decorated military man (Navy S.E.A.L., Navy Admiral, etc.). That compliment was truly all I needed...

I just got a “that’s a very nice car sir” from a 15 year old girl working the Mcdonald’s drive thru. Hopefully not what you’re after but it’s something. 😅

The sales rep at Porsche congratulated me on the great job I did in configuring my car. He said it was one of the best looking specs. But that’s his job and I presume he tells that to everyone.
Ha, right after you went out, he told me that its one of the ugliest. Just kidding.. also went to Latem?

Did you order a Dolomite Silver ST? Or was it the only color available on the scale model?
