I'm not sure how much range you get in your 90D, but FWIW I get significantly more range with my Taycan than I did with my 2016 75D. I have the smaller battery too and do mostly city driving.

I haven't had any updates to my car, but I do have the latest software version that has built in spotify etc. The infotainment is great on my car and they are pushing the newest version that I have to older models, but it seems you have to bring the car in for about 2 days to have it done. As...

Quick range update after about a month. Getting 230-250 miles at 85% charge with the smaller battery, have supercharged a couple times and it works flawlessly at about 8 miles per minute.

Depending on how much long distance travel/range you need, it doesn't seem like the MS is a good car for you. Tesla has range and charging network, acceleration, and infotainment down perfectly. If you don't care about those things and want the least road noise, best build quality, and and...

Wow that sucks. They were trying to get me to not do a 24 hr test drive but I said that I needed the 24 hour test drive to make sure it would work for me, I had to be very pushy before they let me take off with the car for the day.

For what it's worth, I had a 2016 MS (facelift), and my 2019 BMW 3 series is much better built, much less road noise, better tech (compared to MCU1), etc. I am guessing the BMW is built similar to what you are used to in the Audi. I know build quality is better in the 2021+ and assume that a...

I recently made the switch from a 2016.5 Tesla Model S 75D to a 2022 Porsche Taycan RWD. I am going to give my opinions on both, as well as trying to incorporate some things from the refreshed MS as I did a 24 hour test drive on it. The Tech 2016 MS: 4/10 2022 Taycan: 8/10 2022 MS: 9/10 I...

I had either 10 or 11 headlight replacements on my MS for the same issue. They were all covered under warranty, until I was out of warranty and they refused to cover them even though I had mentioned how frequently they have failed so there must have been an underlying condition that caused the...

Just picked up the car today. It is a world of difference from my MS. Everything just feels so solid and well put together. Obviously everything is perfect now so not going to make a detailed review yet, but will come back after I have had it for a while. Attached are some pics for those...

I agree that I don't think they are necessarily comparable, only in the sense that they are both electric. I think if it's just 1-2 people with around town driving and luxury/build quality is a priority, Taycan is the right car. If you want to be going on road trips with more storage and...

Hoping it comes sooner rather than later, just had to replace two more door handles and my screen is leaking glue so hopefully that doesn't fail :oops:. I do know I am somewhat going a step back in technology, but I've heard the 22s are a bit better. I mean right now I barely have a functioning...

Delivery date got pushed back a bit because of Ukraine, and the tracker is now saying that the production has completed and it will arrive mid July. I did receive some production photos which I will attach here

I think that I ended up getting the onboard charger replaced.

I didn't. I think the interior of the Taycan looks much better. The interior of the etron doesn't look much better than a Q3 to me personally (I'm sure the materials are better).

My Tesla has had probably $25,000 of repairs done under warranty ($15k being in headlights) and another $4,000 or so out of warranty.

Service is probably about the same as a Tesla. Regen is very very different and I thought it didn't have any when I test drove. Barely any regen when you take your foot off the pedal, but it actually regens when you push the brake pedal. So it feels like you are using physical brakes but for the...

Yes - I would not get this car if: 1. I wanted to go on road trips in it 2. MS was still $80k 3. Needed the storage 4. Still lived in NJ where I would want AWD (I believe the price difference was almost 20k for the 4s) And the pricing I was comparing was to make it equal inside with the basic...

Try a KBB instant cash offer. It'll connect you with local dealers who will actually match it.

I’m not getting anything off but not paying over which some dealers are doing.

Not sure if you are asking me but the real world tests comparing the Taycan and the MS show the difference is only about 40 miles (Taycan rated 220 got 280, MS LR rated 402 got 320) (2021 Porsche Taycan is the Rare EV that Beats Its EPA-Estimated Range in Our Testing.) For comparison I get...

Hope you had both cars in your driveway for Christmas 😉

Ordering process was actually extremely easy for me. I went in for a test drive but after that I texted my Porsche code to my salesman and then he sent me paperwork to sign verifying that all the options were correct, a form for the credit card deposit, and boom it was ordered with barely any...

Yep. This is my build for anyone interested. This is basically what it costs to option it equal to a MS (Chalk paint is quite hefty at $3,000 but after seeing it in person it's definitely worth the cost). http://www.porsche-code.com/PN4W1RB7 The difference with Porsche is that you have the...

I optioned Innodrive which is their version of adaptive cruise and lane keeping. It seemed to work better than my AP1 which I rarely use because it is always going over lines and phantom brakes too much.

CarMax does 24 hour test drives and my local CarMax had a plaid.

Well after 6 years with my Model S, I decided it was time to get a new car. Did a 24hr test drive of the refreshed MS and it was very nice. While it was 20x nicer than my 2016.5 MS, it looks basically the same as my car. Yeah the inside is nice but the look of the car just doesn't excite me...

Was behind a new model s earlier and noticed that the inside taillights no longer light up when braking or with turn signals, just the outside lights. Thought that was weird because it looks a little bit unfinished compared to the older models.

Yep most likely given that it’s the same license plate. I was actually looking for that post thinking it was the same one but I couldn’t find it.

They’re dealer plates. Hard to tell because picture didn’t upload as high quality but they say dealer on the bottom instead of sunshine state

Rear diffuser, dealer plates, chrome delete, also looked wider

Just saw refresh in Fort Lauderdale. Tried to catch up to get more pics but got stuck at a light and lost it.

Agree. Not a fan of the wood, I think the carbon fiber looks much better. I also don't know why they brought the chrome back on the inside. My 2016 MS has the silver accents inside but I find that the newer ones that have the graphite color look much better.

With tinted back windows, black T, and a license plate I think it looks really good.

I don't see the ambient light strips in this one, maybe that isn't what they are or maybe they just aren't on this one.

Onto my 9th replacement... Drivers side went out again. At least it's still under warranty because they were replaced less than 12 months ago.

You might be able to find someone that would want to swap with you if that's possible. I wished it was an option when I got my car and would have paid for it. Now I don't have the need for it but there's definitely someone that would swap.

I've had a lot of issues with mine. Car is a facelift 2016 with 65k miles. Most recently I am having issues plugging the car in and taking it out (the pin is slow to respond and the light doesn't turn on). Last time I brought the car in I was charged $3,000 for the onboard charge unit without...

*Update--this was the estimate, they gave me misinformation initially. Parts still need to be ordered. Well the car completely stopped charging so had it in for service today at Princeton. Was not given an estimate or any call that the repair would cost $3k which is very disappointing and also...

It was okay... We put all of the concerns we had in the app but when we got there they said they couldn't do all of them and only could fix the door handles. Asked if we could have a loaner and the guy said they didn't have one and when we asked if we could book a service appointment to plan for...

I have the grey next gen seas with the cream alcantara headliner and I wish I had the black.

I think I might lease a raven

They fixed both door handles under warranty but didn't look at anything else. They said to fix the charge port would be $3k-$5k so we did not do that.

Just dropped the car off at the Princeton Service Center. They didn't have any loaners and I had to uber home so I am not very happy about that. Hopefully they fix everything.

Lol I've had 8 headlight replacements. They have all happened within the parts warranty so I haven't had to pay for anything yet.

Update: 64k miles. Rear driver side door handle wore out last week, today the driver side front one won't open either (tried the string which we have used before but door doesn't open). Have had numerous random collision warnings, braking, and autopilot swerving right into oncoming traffic on...

I was looking at the Model S configurator and noticed the seats look different. Might just be my eyes but I definitely think the older ones look better, maybe it's the bolstering that looks different to me. Is this just a change in the rendering online or are people getting different seats with...

I had (have) the same issue. First time I brought it to the service center they said they could not duplicate, then it was normal, then finally admitted the quarter panel wasn't aligned. In trying to "fix" that, they bent the door: the door doesn't properly close now and wind noise is worse.

I use simple green diluted 5:1 with a scrub brush (https://www.amazon.com/Chemical-Guys-Acc_S95-Bristle-Cleaning/dp/B01K9ELWPI/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=chemical+guys+leather+scrub+brush&qid=1570743142&sr=8-5) that's the brush I use it works good. Any sort of all purpose cleaner should work just make...

I've had 8 replacements.

Do you have a link to the actual lights you used?
