I always knew our Taycan's were light – that's the proof!

{sigh} mine is just back from the rear seat harness routing inspection - oh well - lots of recalls on this vehicle.

If there's a better way to get the Tullamore Dew down at 8:47 in the morning, I haven't found it yet.

Interesting that the VIN of my 2021 RWD built early April 2021 is NOT on the NHTSA list. Have the 14 way seats.

my VIN is not present - 14 way w/Massage - maybe I can sit this one out - bummer I was hoping to get another 2 day OTA software update that might brick my vehicle while it was at the dealer.
