Congratulations! Keep it simple. 1. Plug it in every night and set the charge limit to 80% and schedule it to start charging whenever your electric utility rate is cheapest. 2. Charge to 90 or 100 % (depending on how far you need to drive) when you're going to travel or drive a lot the next...

Two bikes fit easily without any disassembly. I put the rear seats down and use cardboard between the bikes to prevent rubbing. Laying down flat and stacked, not standing up. I've done this so many times, I can't even count how many times I've done it. Bikes for adults, not kids. I'll find a...

Is that to the first part or second part of my comment. Or are you just being sarcastic?

It weighs 4670 lbs. You'd be surprised at how many ICE sedans are heavier than a Plaid which has a battery alone that weighs 1000lbs

All I can say is - nice ICE cars and the Plaid ofcourse is the icing on the cake(s)!!👍👍

It's time to move on I'd say! Tesla isn't going anywhere despite the all the "shortcomings" you've outlined. Just saying. I'm also in the same camp as you - my next EV may not be a Tesla, but that won't make any difference to Tesla.

Ofcourse most people would install it if it was free. That doesn't mean it's worth it (the $ it costs or its "ability" to drive).

A thorough detail after the winter and the summer wheels on. Some night shots of this old horse. It's been a blast so far!👍👍

Looks good! 👍 What is your suspension height set to here? It seems a tad too high IMO

How do you determine where the "totality" is? I live in Ontario, Canada.

It doesn't

This is on a 2016 S. I'm pretty sure a hitch is also now available for a refresh S. It's not really a big deal at all.

@FrugalS This does not make sense now. 'In addition it is transferable to the next owner as long as it is a private sale. What really makes it a no brainer is if at the end of the warranty period : You are still the owner Made no claims under the warranty You get your money back (less the...

This is helpful, thanks! I'm still on the fence about signing up. My battery warranty is expiring soon.

@Struja - I have a question about the drive modes in your Taycan. I really enjoyed everything about the "Sport Plus" mode other than the "harsh" ride on not so smooth pavement. Is it possible to configure the "Individual mode" to have the exact same parameters as the Sport Plus mode except the...

The special opaque mode on the glass roof? 😁

My charger is the NEMA 14-50 plug which is the same charger that the Porsche has, but it wouldn't charge for some reason. I didn't even think of trying the port on the passenger side. That may have worked. I'm sure you wouldn't need to install another charger if you bought one. I was busy...

Would love to try out your Plaid! My local Service center only has the LR available for test drives. I specifically asked for a test drive longer than the usual 30 mins and asked them to keep it overnight. They accomodated me on a Saturday at the end of the day after all the test drives were...

I just tried to inquire about the warranty on their website and the form errors out - "Sorry, the application is experiencing technical difficulties. Please start again another time". I wonder how many potential customers are lost because their form does not always work...

Yes, its a dealer demo from the local Porsche dealer. I got the car after the last appointment they had on a Saturday (for driving tests by potential clients) and since the dealer was closed on Sunday and Monday (stat holiday), they said I could keep it for the weekend. One thing I don't...

And the last 10 pics

And more pics

Your review convinced me to test drive a Taycan. I have to say a lot of my opinions match yours ! https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/2023-porsche-taycan-4s-review.323268/

And even more pics

After reading @Struja post regarding his Taycan, I had to test drive the Taycan and this is my review. For context, I currently own a 2016 Model S75D and I have done my best to not compare the Taycan to it as my car is almost 8 years old now and is not really a comparable car to a new Porsche...

Just for the warranty, charging speed and range - I'd go with the Model 3.

That looks fantastic!👍👍 No rubbing or any other issues?

I would reserve judgement till I drive one. 😁 On the topic of quality, fit and finish, the sound the doors make when shut, the driving experience - it's on a completely different planet compared to any Tesla.

Did you test drive the Taycan?

This is just anecdotal and I'm not saying it will apply to you or anyone else. My car ran out of warranty 10 months ago and the battery coolant valves needed replacing a month ago. I have only 72k miles on the car. It's a 2016 75D and this is the second time the valves have been replaced...

This resonates so strongly! I just had a 2023 Taycan 4S for an extended weekend demo test drive and I was completely blown away... I wrote a review here if anyone is interested in reading it. 2023 Porsche Taycan 4S review - ClubLexus - Lexus Forum Discussion A fairer comparison (size and space...

Congratulations!! Does the step down in overall quality of fit , finish and materials bother you at all? Porsche quality is simply on another level. Once you push the accelerator pedal, any feeling of a lower quality car just goes out the window though. 😁 Regarding your question about the...

Nope

What is the UWB update? Would that be applicable to a 2016 Model S. I don't care for the key fob anymore. I'd rather the car open as soon as my phone gets in close proximity to the car

2016 71k miles 90% 215 miles Mainly charge at home and very rarely go below 30%

There is no such thing as a "standard range" Raven. Period. You actually found my factual response funny? Wow

Wrong. The Raven update (which also includes both the Long Range and performance models) had only a 100 KwH battery pack. 75 kwh battery packs have not been made since 2018

@PR0FESSOR she's stunning!!👍👍

@PCMc - great write up and feedback! I have the exact same car as you had but mine is a 75D. Regarding the Pano roof maintenance - is it straightforward to clean the drain lines yourself? I know you mentioned that you had yours done at your local SC. I've never had mine maintained yet and after...

New house 😀

I think your car is trying to tell you something 😀

Picture?

Not to trivialize your very valid concern, but how is a slight reduction in range going to make any difference for your trips? We're not talking about 50 to 100 miles reduction here after all. Plus it's not recommended to go below 20% SOC anyway unless you absolutely have to. Unless ofcourse...

This looks interesting. Is it legal here in Ontario?

Porsche Macan Turbo (the latest EV)

It's all personal preference really. To me it's worth it, that's why I did that "upgrade". Here's my car with the 20inch MX slipstreams (I had a tire blowout here, but the pics clearly show what the wheels looked Iike)

He's right about the plate coming loose. I had the exact same issue after I had PPF installed on the bumper. I tried two different adhesives without any luck . Finally I tried this and it hasn't budged in the slightest. Just be careful to thoroughly clean both surfaces with rubbing alcohol...

No it isn't. The LR and Plaid is the exact same size.

You prefer the "styling" of the Plaid? The "styling" is simply the spoiler, the Plaid badge and the red brake calipers on the exterior. You can change the color of the calipers and add the spoiler easily. The interior has the CF trim option and you can also change that easily with some...
