Apparently still in the process of getting the EV “sealegs”. I’ve had the same experience with my Taycan. I usually find out more on this forum before I hear anything from Porsche concerning an issue with my vehicle. It took over 6 months just to find out if I could use my 120V charger for...

Very well said… Thanks

Assuming intelligence of Senators is a scary proposition…

Exactly. The suppliers take every opportunity to price gouge and they have a tired list of excuses why prices are up so high. It’s quite comical. I’m in the semiconductor industry which competes on a global level based on real value. When I build/sell an advanced semiconductor production...

They shouldn’t make promises they can’t keep. There have been bird flu before and high gas prices but right now they can’t blame Biden for $5 gas in California or $9 eggs. Inflation is up 3% in just the last month. It doesn’t matter to me because I make money either way so Trump can let the...

In California the majority of road wear & tear is from 18 wheelers on our highways. These vehicles destroy the roads especially in the summer’s high heat. These vehicles destroy bridges as well & rather than ICE or EV vehicles. Charging $1000 per new EV disregard all the used EVs on the road...

I can’t argue with this news. It’s one of the reasons I bought my Taycan and my previous Porsche. Service is second to none. Service advisors are all excellent and the after sales efforts by my dealer is what makes me look forward to my next purchase. No other car manufacturer has ever had...

The important thing to consider is how quickly will Porsche stop supporting components for its EVs the way it currently does with all its ICE products. A Porsche ICE vehicle is never dead because either Porsche will continue to make the parts or 3rd parties will offer these parts at a discount...

That is really promising information on battery life. I would be ok with my Taycan main battery lasting that long and having no fire safety issues forcing a replacement. Thanks

Yes, that was under warranty but I hope that's not what they eventually charge anyone outside of warranty. I think that was the base model 71 KwH battery so the higher capacity batteries will likely cost a bit more. I was talking to the Transportation Safety Board and they are concerned if the...

That is promising information to replace a full HV battery at $30K if the warranty for the replacement goes back to 8 years 100k miles. It would sting a bit but it would be worth it to me to pay up to $30K to refresh my Taycan batteries to new since I will keep it perfect inside & out until the...

I was told labor is 10-12 hours so labor is likely to be in the $3K to $4K. Someone on this forum reported the total cost the dealership submitted to Porsche for warranty replacement of the entire battery at $57K plus labor to remove & replace so at full retail we're talking $60K+. I haven't...

I'm lucky I live near Porsche Newport Beach in California. They treat my wife and I so well that I'm looking to justify my next Porsche to fill another niche in my garage. I just hope I don't regret buying (and holding) a Porsche Taycan EV if battery replacement gets so expensive it makes no...

I bought a 2 year old CPO for $75K even though I knew the residual values were going down. Unfortunately I am 64 and my Taycan was an emotional purchase. My wife & I fell in love when we first saw it and then fell madly in love after we drove it. I decided to bite the bullet and hope I didn't...

If the range is less than 300 miles I'll probably get another ICE Boxster since it would be a car driven on sunny days along the California coast. My last Boxter was a 2000 which I only put 42K on it over 20 years. It was perfect until I got t-boned by a drunk driver in 2021 and totaled. I...
