r/Taycan

I‘m this 🤏🏻 close to signing for a CPO Turbo S. Of course I have last minute doubts, so any remarks from the mighty community? Some objections or hints for someone who never owned a Porsche before (coming from a 2022 Model 3 Performance)? Something I should definitely check before buying? I did test drive it and I‘m aware that this is a step back in connectivity and “smart“ features, but it feels way more like a real car and is overall a great piece of engineering.

42k miles, 3.5 years old, 105k USD-equivalent (Germany)

a lot of extras like InnoDrive, Surround View, Burmester, HUD, heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated seats, panoramic roof. List price was over 240k USD-equivalent.

I‘m planning to drive it for the next 3 years and expect it to halve its current value in this time. Also I plan for 2k USD-equivalent in maintenance per year. For the PCCB, I just hope nothing happens. Wouldn’t break my neck financially, but it would hurt. I mostly heard, that without an accident or really bad luck they should outlast the car itself. Would prefer steel brake, but not an option for a Turbo or Turbo S

So, my first 30 days with the Porsche Taycan…

I absolutely love the car, and I don’t want to come across as overly negative, but it’s been a bit of a rough start.

In the first week, the heating stopped working completely, no warm air at all. Took it into Porsche, which to be fair was handled well. They fixed it under warranty in a couple of days and said everything checked out fine.

Then about 3–4 weeks in, I charged the car overnight, got in the next morning to head out, and was hit with an “Electrical system fault.” The car wouldn’t drive at all.

Had to get it towed back to Porsche, and now they’re saying it could need a 12V battery replacement and possibly work on the main battery cells too… with a 6–8 week lead time 🤦🏼‍♂️

Has anyone else had a similar experience with these? Is this just bad luck, or are Taycans known for this kind of thing? Also makes me wonder if this is part of the reason they seem to depreciate so heavily.

Hi Guys, just on a road trip to Germany in my 2026 Taycan Cross Turismo and it's the first time I fast charged on public charging since getting the car in the winter. We live off the beaten track and the path to our house can get muddy in the winter, it seems we are paying for it now because although I wash it frequently in the winter it seems there was a build up of mud around the cooling fans. The left fan seems to have some nasty vibrations and it's causing the bumper to vibrate a lot. Is it me or is this a bad design? I have no way to get in there and clear any obstructions out Thanks for your thoughts.

Need help choosing the right front bumper after a small crash.

Rwd nicely specced.

I have the option of putting either of these at a marginal cost difference. No carbon parts wanted.

Strictly design wise, i need your opinions.

What would you go for?

I recently purchased a 2021 model and am looking to upgrade the wheels to the Porsche OEM 21" 911 Turbo Wheels. Here are the wheels currently on my vehicle.a0

In year 5 of ownership and still loving it!

Thinking about adding a 911 GTS into the stable but NOTHING beats the Taycan as a daily driver.

J’aime beaucoup mon Taycan, mais souvent il me fait des caprices :

Trappe de recharge reste ouverte

Chauffage qui ne marche plus

Et aujourd’hui, une nouveauté : toutes les caméras sont en panne.

Heureusement que par ailleurs cette voiture est fantastique

Hello everyone, I have been using my Mercedes wall box charger on my taycan for 4 months. It’s been working fine but now it’s not

When I plugged it in

a blue spinning circle keeps going for a minute or two then it shows charging not possible

I checked my wallbox and it’s connected properly to my internet and it shows charging on the wallbox

I don’t what’s the issue. I tried hard reset, checked my WiFi, etc and it still didn’t work

Any idea how to fix this? My taycan is 2022

I just drove normally 2 hours ago and now this popped up, it won’t go into drive. What can I do? Any experience on that?

Car is fully charged, unfortunately no charger nearby

Edit:

It worked after waiting 10 minutes but I am afraid it will happen in the middle of the road

I recently noticed a tiny crack on the edge of the windscreen. I'm not sure if it's a rock chip or something else. Any advise on what to do? Will a DIY kit helps?
