    Taycan Turbo Introduction

    Right ...like the base 992 Carrera is a turbo but they don't call it a turbo.

    Taycan Turbo Introduction

    I want to know who came up with....Turbo and Turbo S...what's next, Honda EVs will have V-TECH sticker on the side :) IMO this is way overpriced and AP nowhere close to Tesla.

    Tesla has ruined me for life...

    +1...The Giulia QV is on top of my list... I would not buy it out of warranty though.

    Do you keep a electric scooter/ bike in your MS to use while charging?

    This will be my first electric scooter. Last night I placed the order for a Mercane Widewheel Electric Scooter only to ride around in my neighborhood and possibly beyond. The Model S is used primarily around town and I don't supercharge but plan on taking the scooter to the city etc.

    Which lowering links do you have ?

    Hi, they are... Vossen Series: HC-1 (Forged Monoblock) Size: 21x9 / 21x10.5 This set was made for the model S so don't have to worry about offset options as the wheel aligns with the outer edge.

    CPO Model S vs Brand new Model3

    + 1 If you enjoy the drive...test drive both see which one you prefer. A rear wheel Performance S with a + suspension would be a nice transition from the Panamera.

    Any idea when this massive price drop will take effect for the used car market?

    As long as the indy dealer can move the inventory for the asking price (demand) with some profit, prices won't drop. If the car sits on their inventory for a long time and they can't sell it retail and have to take run it through the auction...then prices would drop.

    Red Performance 3: Gloss or matte black wheels?

    Another option ... black chrome

    Do you regret buying a RWD Model S?

    I concur with this....the feeling of getting pushed with a RWD induction motor with no torque ripple experience is quite fun. I don't regret it a bit. Cheers

    Congrats on the Model 3. PM sent with contact info for the installer I used. Cheers

    After 1 year, and the thought of "upgrading".

    Few reasons I am not upgrading (yet) are... 1. I prefer the rear wheel luxury-performance sedan segment. 2. With upgraded forged wheels, good tires and a bit of lowering the handling is way better than stock. 3. Test drove a Model 3 Performance, great car, but.... I wasn't blown away. Even...

    Discount for demo vehicle?

    I went in for a test drive and was asking about inventory vehicles yesterday and was offered a $2K discount on an inventory Model 3 Performance.

    Chrome delete, dipped it again. Lowered further, this is in the lowest setting. Took it a local tire installer, alignment completed after lowering. I back out in Standard height, and then drive in low. Airmatic lowering links are great. _DSC5106-2 by Atlantan posted Sep 23, 2018 at 12:29 AM

    Which car to get AFTER Model S?

    Sell the P85 now, with warranty, resale could be higher and get a 997.2 If you long for a 911, in the end that will make you happy. I am in the same boat as you, have a P85, CPO warranty till Jun 2020. My son has his own car and drives his brother to and from school, so I could use something...

    Georgia power super off-peak charging rate 1.4 cents/KwH

    Hey thanks for posting this, this one has the fuel charge. Is this the paper copy scanned or your electronic bill? My GA power bill doesn't have the fuel charge and was told that they have to send me a separate bill to show all the charges. In any event, your point is also valid that the...

    Georgia power super off-peak charging rate 1.4 cents/KwH

    I called GA power and there are fees that are not listed on the bill...Education Tax fee, GA state tax, fuel charge @ .031718 x total kW used, which makes it difficult to reconcile the bill. GA power is sending me the actual breakdown of all fees via mail, as it is not on the eBill.

    Georgia power super off-peak charging rate 1.4 cents/KwH

    Agree that the cost is more that 1.4 cents...however, if I didn't have the EV, those fees would still be there, agreed? A question for you, do you numbers ....30 / 15 / 7.5 cents per kWh, include the benefit the whole house gets from the three buckets, e.g AC offset cost during SuperOff peak...

    What to do ? owners of S's about to go out of 8 year warranty

    Battery: After 8 years the battery won't die, will loose some range. Drive Unit: Replacement cost is around $6K, IF it dies, which is a big IF. MCU: $3K, most likely will need replacement. Door Handles: Under $1K a piece. One or two most likely will need replacement. Compare the S to any high...

    Carmax Quote...What do you think?

    @Hotlobstah for your zip the KBB trade in range is $49,094 - $55,082 and Private party value is $54,060 - $60,580. Have you considered selling it retail? Also depends on what you are trading for. In GA we pay tax only on the delta between sale price and trade in value, so in my cases the...

    Observed public perception of the Model 3 being the inferior budget model coming from 2 Tesla family

    The buyer of an Audi RS3 doesn't care about public perception, their drive to purchase that particular variant is elemental...passion. Buyers of the M3 variants should do the same, chase their passion and ignore perception.
