Welcome to the forum @DrQ, congratulations on getting your 4S! Is it going to be a daily driver for you or a secondary car?

That's a solid one two punch right there. I'm interested to hear your thoughts about how they compare to each other.

Welcome @DrQ, what charger options have you looked into so far?

 

[r553]

DrQ welcome. To allay your charge anxiety you ought to be able to plug the Porsche charger that came with the car into a 115 V outlet. It will take some time to charge. How do you charge the Tesla currently? There are adapters from Tesla to J1772 plug used by the Taycan.

I have 8 months left on the tesla lease. I think overall the tesla app and charging network are superior, but the fit, finish, quality of the porsche is outstanding. performance wise, thus far, I dont feel a huge difference. both are fast and fun. also, aesthetically the taycan is gorgeous and model S is dated.

thank you r553. I just learned of the J1772 plus on this forum. will definately purchase. I am waiting on an electrician to come install the porsche home charger as well.

I have the porsche charger to be installed. the nearest electrify america charger is 25 miles.

Congratulations on the new car, and welcome to Porsche ownership! Can we see some photos? Out of curiosity, why don't you just keep using the Tesla charger with a TeslaTap (or similar) adapter, instead of installing the Porsche charger?

Congrats @DrQ! What color did you choose for your 4S?

 

[DrQ]

That's a fair comparison. There seems to me more kinks to iron out on non-tesla charging networks. Do you plan on getting another Tesla when the lease ends or will you just stick with the Taycan?

Get a 240v 50 amp plug for your garage. It will charge that thing from 0-85 % in like 10 hours. Most nights for me I’m at about 30% battery left and it takes 5-6 hours to fully charge. It works and I do 135 mile commutes each day. I’ve yet to hit a Charge point or Electrify America charger and I have 2400 miles already

I do. I have a deposit on the tesla cyber truck and I intend on purchasing it whenever it debuts.
