    Porsche Drive, Swap, Repeat - Porsche Rental service

    Too much money and be aware Porsche lease turn-ins are extremely picky. I leased a Porsche exactly once.

    Thinking of going back to ICE

    My issue with going back to ICE after driving an EV is how unresponsive the accelerator is by comparison. It feels like something is broken.

    Thinking of going back to ICE

    Never bothered me. I drove it between CA and TX a few times.

    Thinking of going back to ICE

    Actually EV 911 is exactly what I want. A Targa specifically. I am DONE with ICE. Full stop. But the 991 Targa is my favorite car of all time. So I'm driving a Taycan for now until they make the car I want, or something close to it (a Boxster EV perhaps.)

    Thinking of going back to ICE

    I wanted to say something snarky but the 911 is a phenomenal vehicle that I really can't say a thing bad about. Sorry EV life didn't work for you but you're going from awesome to awesome here.

    Does driving a Taycan make one an official EV and/or Porsche brand ambassador?

    I've had a mix. Negative: - Heckled at Amarillo EA station "You'd be done already if dat thing waz gas!" etc. - A woman rolled down her window to visibly laugh/mock me waiting my turn at a busy EA station in Waco. Not gonna lie, I was pretty unhappy with EA that day and she had a point. :)...

    Does driving a Taycan make one an official EV and/or Porsche brand ambassador?

    I've been heckled as well at a charger. I'm curious what their goal is, do they really think after talking with you that you'll immediately dump your car for ICE? The EV haters tend to be small-minded, small-town people fed a narrative by their diet of slanted media. They are afraid watching...

    Glad to be done with Porsche and Taycan

    Forget EV - google any CAR name followed by problems. I am perfectly gruntled with my Taycan and considering placing an order for a new one in a color I like better. I might go upmarket from base to 4S as well, but so many reviewers rave the RWD drives best ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .

    Would you stick with Porsche?

    So...it's like this. My first Porsche in 1998, the saleswoman told me "you'll never be able to drive anything else." I shook it off as sales hyperbole but damned if she wasn't right. Every time I try to "kick" I end up coming back to Porsche. The Taycan makes my 7th. At this point I just...

    Porsche Class Action Settlement for ICE Owners

    When I traded in my Targa 4S it was lowballed a bit, and the reason was the stop-sale due to the Sport+ mode emissions issue. I believe this to be a legit thing. I've had 3 cars in the affected window: 2014 Targa 4S 2010 997 2008 Boxster S I haven't decided yet if I am going to pursue it. I...

    Rented a Model Y

    YES. Both of these (mis)behaviors match my experience perfectly.

    Rented a Model Y

    A good thought because I didn’t even know that was a thing. However no. But the “sprinkler head” mode was on. Trying that off.

    Rented a Model Y

    It continues to test according to spec, and the AC sensor issue doesn't apply to my car. At this point I'm going to grab an IR thermometer and keep it in the car, and try to find the conditions that replicate the issue.
