Taycan 4S Cross Turismo

Looking at residuals on my CT 4S and it's a bit alarming tbh. £100k list, car is 1y/o, 14k miles and the trade in value is £67,900. I leased it at a cost of about £8k per year once I factor in BIK etc but that is some truly mental 1st year depreciation.
Things have changed dramatically in the last 12 months regarding residuals on Taycan CTs. I bought a new Taycan CT 4S in January 2022 px'ing our 18mth old 4S Saloon with 9k miles in the process.However, my wife who's using it as her daily hated the looks of it and equally loved our old saloon. Things came to a head in May 2022 when she wanted to sell it back to my OPC which we did so for £10k more than what I paid. Spoke to my Sales guy last week and he said if I'd repeated the same exercise this year I'd have lost between £25-30k compared to making a £10k profit we did a year ago.

As there isn’t a spare wheel, I don’t believe there is a Jack, well there certainly isn’t on mine

I think you're right although I don't follow the logic at all that just because there's no spare you won't ever need to take the wheel off! I guess I'm leaving it where it is until Monday!Phib

The car doesn’t come with a jack, when I shredded my tyre the mobile guy brought two trolley jacks, the car has to be jacked up at two points on the same side apparently. Jonny TVR said:
Mine has been delayed another 4 months. Parts issue.
They have given me a new Cayenne for 4 months free.
Did they mention what the issue was? Friend was due to collect his on Thursday, already paid and car at the dealer. Now told recall issue and no estimate when he will be able to get it. They have given me a new Cayenne for 4 months free.

No ... they just said that its already been made except for this part and is being stored at the factory. Blue62 said:
I would imagine it’s the heater, but I wonder how much all of this is costing Porsche.
I think you're right. I waited nearly a month for them to collect my car to replace the faulty heater, because they had so many cars to sort through and so few parts and the dealer had a handful of others in at the same time to do. They'd been doing them like this for weeks, so they will burn through a lot of parts and the ones destined for new OEM builds will be under supply pressure.Weirdly my build has just been brought forward 9 days to mid-end of June. It's still 6 months late from the initial promise of 14 months mind you. Wonder if it will get stuck like everyone else's, apparently it is is a global stop-sale and Porsche haven't informed the dealers why. Saw rumours on the Taycan forum that there may be issues with the passenger seatbelt warning lights on some Taycans and some 911s. Dealers need to do run some diagnostics on each car and send them off to Porsche. It then takes about 3 days for Porsche to say whether they can release the car or it needs fixing somehow.

I hope not, as the fella in Kwik Fit who replaced the front near-side tyre on mine last Sunday used a single jack. Seemed to know what he was doing though, wheel nuts to 160 nm and tyre pressures set to 2.6 / 2.7 bar front and rear when I asked him. cb31 said:

The ‘3 days’ claim is untrue. My car has now been at the dealer for over a week (was due for collection on Thursday) and still no news about when I can collect.I’m borrowing the dealer’s Taycan Turbo S, so they have every incentive to sort this out and allow me to collect my car!

Not true according to the manual. The two jacks bit i mean.The jacking points are a minor PITA, had to make a weird spacer to not crush the plastic jack points with a regular trolley jack.

Doesn't make sense to me either. There is a "jack" setting in the PCM suspension options which I think stops it trying to self level. Anyway no issue jacking one corner although interestingly I have never locked my car and it was locked when I was done so I think maybe it thought it was being nicked?

It is strange, but I shredded my front tyre and the rim was damaged as a result, got home on a low loader. The mobile tyre guy put the car up in two jacks and replace the tyre, when I then had the wheel repaired the guy left the car on a lift for the same reason (repair took 48hrs). I was impressed with their knowledge and didn’t challenge it, but there’s no mention of it in the handbook, who knows?

I had to reverse the totally flat wheel up onto a stone pavers to get enough clearance under the car for the jack. I wonder if the second jack was to achieve the same for you? I was casually browsing used Taycans while having a fit of rage for my tax returns and I had not appreciated how fast they lose value. £40k in the first year, reading above. ??. I almost thought about leasing one through work and push my net income down to avoid funding even more government waste but wow. Porsche finance, 10.6% ??????

Yeah, it’s huge!I bought mine and am considering running it for longer now. It’s 19 months in and still under 10k miles.
