    Don’t shoot me - Boxster/Cayman prestige?

    agree on the can't go back to ICE… if I owned both a Targa and a Cabriolet - I'd always grab the Cabriolet keys…but that's a personal preference.

    Don’t shoot me - Boxster/Cayman prestige?

    spent 8 days in Sicily with Porsche and 992.2 911 GTS's (RWD, Coupe, Covertable, Targa) - used to be a Targa fan - having spent a sunny spring day in Sicily in a Targa (my dream scenario) I no longer lust for Targa action vs. the Cabriolet…this is a surprise result for me personally - since I've...

    718 EV dealer training scheduled for summer 2027, so looking like a 2027 launch.

    this tracks - 2027 "reveal" - late 2027 'first deliveries' - and then a quick pivot to 2028 718 EV's after the august 2027 factory cut-over/shut-down period...

    Anyone got a deposit for an electric 718 EV allocation?

    if you don't have a commission number from PCNA/PorscheGermany you simply have a spot on a private dealer list that has no basis in reality… a commission number is an allocated slot on a production schedule…I highly doubt there are any commission numbers at this point prior to any formal...

    Don’t shoot me - Boxster/Cayman prestige?

    2018/2019 - I forget exact year - buddy and I are attending Porsche Ice Driving in Montreal Canada let's just say this friend of mine was "not a fan" of the Boxster/Cayman group of vehicle's - he was full on 911 is the only worth while sports car - Boxster/Cayman are "sh*t" why would anyone...

    Don’t shoot me - Boxster/Cayman prestige?

    I don't think he's wrong, but he does miss the point - but Clarkson's not that stupid but in essence most Cayman/Boxster owners probably would have a 911 if they could afford one - most serious Porsche owners own both and multiple examples of each - because each car Porsche makes is worth...

    Don’t shoot me - Boxster/Cayman prestige?

    the only thing wrong with Boxster/Cayman is the existence of the 911…if the 911 didn't exist Boxster/Cayman would be top-tier… Porsche maintains the difference specifically to have two different sports car entry points…both cars are excellent for their market segments and goals…but one will be...

    718/983 Cayman & Boxster Leaks & confirmed features

    for me that would be easy peasy ditch the Taycan

    718 Cayman EV / 983 / Boxster EV Forum news...

    Porsche is losing interest in EV's - they are finding them too hard and they are crying themselves to sleep wishing they could go back to over charging for exhaust note generators…

    2025 Boxster Cayman electrics!?!

    seems like a bad AI creation - the photos are distored and flawed, and the speech seems like text-to-speech technology from a poorly written script - and no actual content but a lot platitudes and rehashing of vague statistics. I love the EV 718/Boxster/Cayman - this is a poorly done click-bait...

    [US] - Over the Top - the well equipped EV home garage…for those that wish to "over do it"…

    just a note - my Tesla wall chargers have 'charging logs' but they are not updated until a vehicle is unplugged (finished charging) - so consulting the logs while the car is plugged in does not good - the logs won't contain the most recent charging session data until the vehicle is unplugged...

    excellent post - also not all Bolt are 11 kW - only newer models - originally the Bolt was a 32 amp maximum vehicle - but newer Bolt's are 48 amp so that's another detail that needs to be considered.

    I'm unaware of any way to "limit" AC charging AMPs with the Taycan (doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just means I don't know how to do it)… there should be no reason your Taycan did not charge at 11/12 kW if the EVSE provides that level of power. the best source of information as to charge rate...
