r/Taycan

I may buy a taycan for the first time and i have two models (second hands) that the Porsche dealer is proposing:

- taycan sport tourismo 2022 my2023 with extended batterie and panoramic roof, 18k kms
- taycan cross turismo turbo 680ch 2021 with extended batterie and. Pneumatic suspension, 78k kms

Both same price, look quite the same and it seems that they are ready to do an effort on the turbo because to panoramic roof so hard to sell.

Do you see a red flag already here ? Or some suggestions, I Will ask full history and test both. The 4wd of the turbo is something interesting to me but the 78k kms is a warning ! I prefer the look of the sport tourismo but propulsion is not easy on bad roads

J’ai la possibilité d’acquérir une taycan de 2021 avec la grosse batterie de 83,7kwh. Elle affiche un SoH à 93%.
Le model me plaît et le prix est correct mais j’ai peur pour 3 points :
- la batterie tient elle réellement la route ?
- un siège bébé à l’arrière, ça passe ?
- une poussette rentre facilement dans le coffre ?

Merci à vous !

Personally, I like the panoramic roof because it adds a black accent to the top of the car. But, I dislike the extra light coming into the vehicle.

What are your thoughts on Porsche adding a high gloss black roof option? Or a carbon fiber roof? I hope Porsche has thought about this.

My father is looking to lease his first Porsche. He has been a frugal man his entire life and we are so happy he is finally getting something he truly wants and will enjoy! The Taycan is his dream car and I just want to make sure everything looks ”fair” on this lease deal from our local dealership. I understand leasing these days is not going to get a screaming deal but just want to make sure he’s not getting ripped off. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Located in Southern California.

Terms of 2024 CPO Taycan 4s premium package:
$89k purchase price after discounts
$10k down (8800 down + 1st month payment)
$1200 monthly
24 mo lease
10k yearly milage

NOTE: Not reflected in this termsheet he has an option to forgo the $10k down at signing which he will most likely do. This will increase monthly by about $400 p/mo for a total monthly of $1650. The differnce of taking the no money down is about $800 more over the term of the lease but in the case an accident or something we feel this is the better route. We may be able to negotiate the $800 difference down to $0.

Pretty much what the headline says. What do we know in regards to looks, features, updates, release dates, etc.?

I decided to give it a go after learning I can add it from the connect store but I don’t know if it’s working or my expectations were wrong.

It downloaded successfully and I was able to check it as active in the menu. However on my commute this morning, the 2 lane markers turned green but the steering wheel never did. Does that mean it never “turned on” during my drive?

If so, what do I need to do to get it actually doing some of the minor steering?

In the Connect store it also says it helps with stop and go traffic but the lane lines never turned green when I was going below 10mph in traffic. So I know for sure it wasn’t working then.

Hope I’m missing something stupid!

I bought a CPO 2020 4S with 10k miles on it in 2024.

The CPO warranty will be up soon and I need to decide whether to keep and purchase the extended for $5-7k or trade in and potentially lease a newer CPO so I don’t have to worry about selling.

Battery on mine was replaced with a new battery but I understand the warranty on the battery will not extend beyond the original 8 years.

Payment is about $1000/month so a comparable lease would be fine with me but haven’t looked into how much leases are going for right now.

Welcome any thoughts from anyone who may have done either of the above.

Thanks!

Hi all,

Sorry as I’m sure this has been asked loads before, but I’ve been searching for weeks and still can’t find a clear answer.

I bought a 2021 Taycan 4S about a month ago. I’ve got cheap electricity from midnight–6am, and I don’t subscribe to the Porsche app.

What I’m trying to do seems pretty simple, but I can’t get it working with the onboard charging settings:

• Stop charging at 85% if it reaches that before 6am
• Or stop at 6am regardless of SOC

So basically:

• If it hits 85% at 4am → charging stops
• If it’s only at 75% by 6am → charging still stops

I tried setting a target of 85% by 6am, but when I got to the car it had carried on charging past 90%.

Am I missing something obvious here, or is this not possible without the Porsche app/subscription?

Thanks!

Has anyone found any solid leases anymore this year on cpo taycans? I had a great deal on a 4s from last year but unfortunately the car was totaled. I have been searching with no luck, looks like Porsche had enough on cpo lease deals.

I have been contemplating purchasing cpo now, just always weary of EV uncertainty.
