Members Say Hello Here!

[sergey_ja]

Greetings from the EU! A humble RWD Taycan, first plunge into the EV space. So far, so good. Was a half-random buy as my order for another (ICE) Porsche got delayed and I decided it was a sign to make a more radical switch. Still have a couple of ICE cars in the garage, but this thing drives regularly and is so much cheaper to maintain, considering the European gas prices.

Spec-wise, went with things I care about - leather, music, HUD, glass roof, etc. All in all, very happy with the build and the car in general. Did a front PPF + ceramic coating all around. Works well as a package.

Great being here!

Hello from France,

Just signed for a 2022 Taycan 4S+ with 29000 kms wealthy loaded. Previoulsy 2 times Panamera Turbo owner, it's about time for us to fully switch to EV at home. Wife already took the plunge last year, mine turn now.
The Taycan is a complete different animal from the Panamera. The Taycan's interior can't match high quality assembly & materials from the Panamera. But the Taycan is so agile (at least with the rear-wheel steering), so easy to drive at low speed downtown and so much better suspended that I'm so excited thinking about commuting daily behind the Taycan's wheel. Plus the Taycan has a Supercar body. What a beauty!

2 quick pics at the dealer.
Delivery date is September 26. I can't wait.

That's a beautiful car. Is it the metallic Carrara white or flat white? I have a CT4 on order in flat white. Think the combination of white bodywork with black accents looks great on the Taycan. My build completes mid Nov, so hope I won't have to wait too long afterwards. Enjoy your new car...!

Thanks a lot. It's flat white
What I call the stormtrooper look.
First report after delivery to come next.

Very nice. I agree, I definitely get the stormtrooper look...! I look forward to reading how you are getting on with it.

New member here, just picked up a CPO Taycan Turbo. I was looking around for a Cross Turismo but found a solid deal on a nicely spec'd one from Porsche of Tampa. I'll get some nice pics here soon, it's been raining all week here in Florida.

Hello to the group. I'm new to the EV world with a low mileage Taycan 4S I purchased this week, and coming from an Audi RS5. I'm excited to learn more about all my car's features and little customizations to make it more of my own.

Just saw your location and I agree, certainly not the best week to drive home a new purchase. Looks like tomorrow will be better weather and I plan to get out for a fun run then.

Yeah, I'm excited for it! The wipers work great and a very nice cruiser. I'm looking forward to stretching it's legs a little bit.

I joined the forum in October when I ordered a 2024 GTS. Before that car arrived, a Turbo S showed up and the buyer backed out. So it picked it up today. So far I’d say it is the perfect compliment (exact opposite) to my 2023 GT4RS. Looking forward to putting some more miles on the car this weekend.

PS Anyone have their passenger’s side mirror turn up rather than down when backing up? Maybe I’m crazy but I think that may be happening.

Hi all,

Long time Porsche owner and been looking at Taycans for a few years and pulled the trigger on a 2023 GTS a few weeks ago, (wanted the Sport Turismo but not available in the UAE) four months old but got a good price and trade in for a 2023 Defender. Have already been using this forum for valuable research.

Weekend car is still a 991.2 GT3, that's not going anywhere.
Previous Porsches include Boxster, 911 C2S, Panamera Sport Turismo
