Yesterday I took delivery of my new
”Chalk / Crayon” Taycan.

The color was not available so I had it wrapped. The wrap called is Ice Grey by Orafol. It looks really amazing and the quality and finish is top notch. I would highly recommend this wrap.

I have waited for this car since it was announced as a mission-e concept. My car was supposed to arrive in April but because of covid it got postponed until end of July. Then I had to wait another month for it to be wrapped and ready.

I arrived early yesterday to PCC to get the car delivered. Until that time I had not driven a Taycan at all so I was really excited as you could imagine.

I collect the car and I am driving back home in total awe of how Porsche has managed to create such an incredible car.

After about 15 minutes of driving the car I get a red warning sign telling me to check the air pressure on one of my tyres.

I get out of the car and I can clearly hear one of my tyres getting deflated.
Turns out I had ran over some sort of metal object.

The car is now back at PCC and I have no idea when I can get it back.

Attached are some images.

Sorry about your tire. My car is stuck in the pre-delivery inspection vortex at the dealer with a headlight error code.

Just 15 minutes and you got a flat tire on delivery day? That's like winning the lottery. As annoying it is, things like this happen, and I am sure, it will not lessen your enjoyment driving this beauty! I've driven a few other EV's but this is in a different world.

Congratulations on getting it back and starting fresh. You will simply love this car :)

Question: Do you park it on the street routinely? If so beware of "curbing" the wheels. I've done that on both right side wheels already and it was a sad day. They were repaired, but I'd rather have spent the money another way.

Also, if you do park on the street I'm curious how you handle nighttime charging?

Yes I am already in love. It is by far the best car I have ever owned.

I usually turn on the park assist whenever I park on the street to avoid curbing my wheels. I have the surround view so it helps a lot.

I do not park on the street. Our apartment building has a garage. Just took this picture while I was loading off some groceries.

Beautiful Colour. Reminds me of the 991 50th Anniversary I had.

Hope the tyre gets fixed soon, so you can get back on the road.
