  1. Taycan Dead After Vacation

    I for one never leave the car plugged in when parked for a prolonged period. I don't get why, I feel there is more risk of the 12V draining if I do that. Other than that, the linked instruction seemed reasonable. Taycan phantom drain on the main battery while parked and not plugged in, is super...
  2. The New Two-Tone Seats

    I like the new interiors. Lack of interesting exterior color options was more noticeable for me. Luckily there was one I liked. I configured black/bordeaux for my carmine red turbo. Additionally I have bordeaux seat belts and the clock. And the bordeaux leather cover for the cupholders.
  3. Stone damage to radiator on Taycan

    Indeed, you're right. That is the issue I was talking about. Great to hear there is a fix being done!
  4. Stone damage to radiator on Taycan

    I think no one knows for sure, yet. Unless someone has insider information. I certainly hope it is fixed but as the changes to the car on the outside were rather small, it's possible that it hasn't been fixed. There was a big news article about this in Finland also. A Taycan owner lives on a...
  5. Is Porsche Selling Our Driving Data?

    Regardless of the answer to the data selling question, I know for a fact that one reason why insurance cost has gone up is the unexpectedly high incident rate / repair cost. Especially the repair cost. For example the battery repairs and replacements are very expensive. There was articles in...
  6. Upgrading from MY 2020 4S to MY 2025 Turbo

    After some researching and thinking about it, I decided to add rear-axle steering to my build. The build isn't locked yet so this was possible. I'm excited to see how it changes the driving experience. I've never had a car with that feature. I will certainly report on it later on so we get one...
  7. Upgrading from MY 2020 4S to MY 2025 Turbo

    In my experience it's usually locked in when ordering over here. That has at least been the case now and was also with my Audi order a few years back. Might be different if the delivery was a long way off. To my surprise I'm getting the car really fast, estimate is June/July.
  8. Upgrading from MY 2020 4S to MY 2025 Turbo

    I have ordered already and I'm getting 72k€ for the 4S. If I understood your question correctly.
  9. Upgrading from MY 2020 4S to MY 2025 Turbo

    Thanks! For me it was the electric 718 that I was actually waiting for and considering. Then the updated Taycan came out of the blue and I changed my mind. Main reason for the decision was that I do occasionally need more than 2 seats so from a practical standpoint the Taycan is just superior...
  10. Upgrading from MY 2020 4S to MY 2025 Turbo

    Hello guys! I used to be active in the forum back in the day and now I'm making a bit of a comeback as I decided to order another Taycan. I have a MY 2020 4S Gentian Blue (35 000 km driven) and now I decided to order a MY 2025 Turbo Carmine Red as a replacement. In this post I want to explain...
  11. Feels like engine is slipping in “normal” mode...

    I can concur that this is completely normal, in normal mode. It is one reason why I now mostly use Sport mode in city driving. I like to drive fast and normal mode just doesn't feel good. I use normal when driving long distance (or range sometimes, if range is an actual issue). Although even in...
  12. Rear Axle Steering....not needed, nice to have, or must have?

    Not needed is my personal view, as I don't have it and I don't feel I'm missing anything. I have not yet been in a situation where the default turning radius had caused me some frustration (10000 km driven). However if driving the alternative and making the comparison, my view probably would...
  13. Electrical Fault with Taycan 4S

    Regen when not pressing the accelerator is optional. Regen when pressing the break is not optional. It requires a heavy pressing to go to the mechanical break. Which should work in case there is an issue like this. Concerning issue nonetheless.
  14. I lost all power in the outside lane

    First time I'm hearing of something like this. This is more dangerous than the 12V issue. If I'm doing a tight overtake on a 2-lane road and this happens - it may be the last overtake I ever do. Of course would have to be incredibly unlucky for it to happen just in the wrong second especially as...
  15. Taycan Turbo S crash video. It happened yesterday in Turkey. Hope none of you guys experience something like this :(

    Just glad no one else got hurt because of this moron. If there had been another car in the roundabout, might've been really ugly.
  16. Brake Problem

    Yeah the fact that the car still thinks it's all good, is disturbing. Seems to be extremely rare issue but very serious. Keep us updated.
  17. Love my Taycan...but not having fun.

    Wow. I've seen multiple users here with multiple issues but I think this wins the race. I would be very disappointed and probably quite pissed if I had that level of issues. Have to count myself in the lucky department, as I've literally had almost none of those issues. Or any other issues. I...
  18. My Taycan 4S is here!

    Time for a quick recap on my recent lapland roadtrip! I apologize for not making any updates on the go. I simply did not have the time. I was enjoying the trip with my family. We went all the way to Tromso in Norway and the total length of the trip was 2540 km. All in all I have now driven...
  19. Any 12V issues in UK?

    I'm also wondering this. Is there a single occurrence of the issue outside North America? If not, the number one suspect for the issues are the differences in the NA electrical systems (which affects charging). Perhaps they did not test this properly at Porsche, it being a German manufacturer...
  20. Must haves on a 4S

    The only must have that I unfortunately don't have in my car is the acoustic & thermal protected glass. The car is slightly louder than my diesel car thanks to this mistake. And sunlight can occasionally feel quite hot (doesn't apply to the panoramic glass roof, seems to be protected by...
