I loved my 1963; iirc I got it around 2008 or 2009 from a china-based westerner (German? Memory fails me). I recall he partnered with an HK’er with connections to the mainland watch industry to commission a run of the original homage version. Subsequently multiple versions were made by others...

I was very much a watch fan since childhood before I started wearing (and now can’t part with) my Apple Watch. I have a requisite Rolex and Tudor but my favorites are probably pretty blasphemous to most folks here. I just included two rather unique ones, a Seagull “1963” flyback chronograph and...

I got the Taycan for all the same reasons everyone touted here: perceived longevity, high expectations for customer service, expected ongoing support (decade plus), and what was described as a repair policy for the battery. However based only my experience since day 1 trying to buy, to ongoing...

I actuall I recently drove the i5 e40 and the ICE 5 series at BMWs auto cross lite promo events. While it seemed like it’d be a cozy ride the, i5 didn’t hide its weight very well and handled significantly worse than the Taycan IMO. On the other hand the ICE 5 series felt noticeably more...

Thanks - feel a bit silly now! I guess I haven’t gassed up in a while and forgot what it’s like. Glad I’m driving an EV now!

Interesting. I guess it’s been a bit of an anomaly that I’ve never paid for gas on loaners before another dealer! Still bugs me that they charged me for more gallons than I could’ve used; I’ll chalk it up to sloppiness than just outright scummy behavior.

Congrats - what a beaut. Certainly one of my favorites from my teenage years, fried egg headlights and all.

I finally brought in my Taycan for a bunch of recalls and at the advice of the service manager, arranged for a loaner in case they had to hold my vehicle if it failed the battery test. They gave me a base Macan for about 24 hours; after returning the car they actually sent me a bill for $13 of...

The R3 looks awesome. It has a nice side profile, slightly reminiscent to me of the MKII Golf in a very good way.

Taycan 4S, Cross Turismo. North NJ. 1) Factory SoH: Unknown 2) Current SoH: 88.9% 3) Current mileage: 2435 miles 4) kWh DC charging: never dc charged (unsure if dealer ever did one but I doubt it!) 5) Build date: Q2/2023, delivered Q2/2023 Surprised by the low SoH! I also drive like a grandma...

I quite like it in M60 trim. Taking into account the <$90k price, it is pretty attractive and looks like a solid contender. IIRC there was going to be a wagon/estate variant too- that will be amazing.

I’m surprised at the comments that the EQ series scream “look at me I have money”. I’d recently cross shopped the Taycan with an EQS and my son thought the EQS was a Corolla (he didn’t know what a Corolla is but he said it looks like his grandads car!). Pretty nondescript, especially in non-AMG...

This is awesome! I’ll check it out when I take delivery. Any chance the API allows you to start pre heating/cooling? Then I can creatr automations where pre heating/cooling occurs when I’m at home, and outdoor temp reaches a certain level.

I think the watch analogy is best. The Kia I’m sure is a great EV that looks awesome to boot. But there’s something emotional to the purchase that the Taycan scratches (or will scratch for me, hopefully). In that case the Kia is like a Seiko Monster or other affordable and desirable mech watches...
