Now I am one week from Delivery, a little nervous and mostly excited.
I am set to get a GYEON ceramic coat and XPEL XR+ tint on 4 side windows and hatch. Worked out to pick up my car from PECLA two days before we were flying to the east coast and the detailer will take care of it while we’re away and have it ready when we return. I’ll be sure to post pictures and give contact information once things are completed if others are in the Los Angeles area. I must say that I reached out to three different detailers and all of them were very professional.
say hi to charles for me - the unnecessary cayenne is the delivery he handled for us in april of 2021

Received my car on the 10th as planned after a 1/2 day of Los Angeles Porsche Experience Center (which I wholeheartedly recommend).
They treated my 2 boys 26 & 21 and my wife very well. While I was out on track with a Macan EV. Boys had a go in a 911 and some others things. Excellent opportunity to try out an equivalent car and have a spectacular family event.

Only one photo of the car as others are on a memory stick from PECLA awaiting my return home to a laptop.

Well, my large journey starts tomorrow morning, but I did want to share my one charging session with preconditioning when I came home from Los Angeles. I didn’t need much only about 10% added to the battery. I stopped in Los Alamos at the EA, it’s actually a favorite charger of mine because so a few people know about it. Thanks to @daveo4EV for pointing it out and the Bobs Well Bread Bakery across the street.

Anyway, the vehicle actually did pick this Charger after initially picking Pismo Beach, which had no availability. Arrived at Los Alamos and I saw the car was heating the battery slightly as we were coming past the lake. The car was claiming 270 kW as I approached. Plugged in and plug in charge worked flawlessly and within seconds I was at 274 kW on the charger. Completed my charge less than 3 minutes and we were on our way. While there I was able to talk to a lady who had recently gotten a Taycan Turbo. She was enjoying her vehicle.

What surprised me about my charge was getting that Peake charging rate even starting the charge at 30% SOC. I could never accomplish that with my 2020 Taycan.

Session stats:
  • Location: EA Los Alamos 514 Bell St, Los Alamos, CA 93440
  • Duration: 02:53
  • Delivery 12.3566 kWh
  • Cost: $7.68 USD (no pass+ yet)
  • SoC change 30-41%
  • Odometer: 24
  • Avg speed: 257kW
