According to what I was told there are numerous Taycans available here in the Bay Area for all models. I didn't discuss pricing yet as I'm still on the fence and thinking about the Lucid.

 

Same here, almost 7%.

 

Down here there are 3 or maybe 4 on dealer lot. Dealer spec cars are sold within a couple days - even other models.

 

if there was an option to dislike a comment it would be useful for this comment. there are many many people who drive their EVs as their daily driver, one great thing about the EV as a daily driver is that when you are home for the night you plug in and wake up to a fully charged car. as for limited range, my taycan 4s goes 225-250+ mile per charge depending of speed and weather. how much more range is required of a daily driver? maybe you need to visit www.plugshare.com to visualize the "limited" charging.
you certainly are free to not take the leap into the EV world but posting poorly informed comments is not a good look.

 

in my little part of the world the taycans are selling well. porsches are not mass market cars like a toyota.

 

Heck, just charging overnight while plugging into the standard 120 VAC plug would recharge to batteries to meet the needs of daily driving for most people. Of-course there is always someone chiming in that they need to drive 200 miles each and every day, but for some reason they can't admit that is NOT of most people needs in their life.

In-fact I had friends (husband and wife) who had to drive over 100 kilo-meters each work day, they got sick of traffic, sold their house, and bought one just ten kilo-meters from work. A long work drive is not the norm.

Seems like a severe reaction to an opinion! I have a number of friends (and me as well), that drive long distances to the ranch etc. Taycan just isn't reasonable due to both size and charging limitations for those applications. I'm not trying to trash the Taycan, just point out that for may people it doesn't have the same utility.

 

What model?

So if you guys are getting 7% or more discounts on custom orders, I would think the spec cars sitting on the lots are getting even higher discounts??

 

Speaking of Lucid, I was over at Valley Fair mall a couple days ago. Spent a few moments at the Lucid storefront looking at the Air prototype that was on display. Wasn't allowed to touch or sit in it though. Looked nice, and the purported 500+ mile range is enticing for road trips. Frunk is huge. After removing the false floor, Bjorn should easily be able to get two banana boxes in it. Front seats looked well bolstered. Very roomy rear seat. The car has four zone climate control, and there is a display for rear seat passengers to control their two zones. Did not like the look of the vegan interior. I'd definitely go for dead animal skins. Also not interested in being an early adopter with a manufacturer that has never built a car before. At least Tesla had Lotus helping them build the original Roadsters.

There is a Polestar storefront at the mall too. They had two cars on display, but I didn't have time to stop in. I'm much less interested in it though.

 

Me, too. Discount on Turbo S.

 

That would seem logical but I have yet to deal with a store that was logical!

PCNA has allocated a fair amount of $$$$ engineered to penetrate the market and get the Taycan on the road.
With respect to discounts and important to know, all manufacturers provide dealer assistance to meet this objective. This includes advertising and floor plan assistance. It is not unusual for dealer to be "plus" on these items, meaning they provide an additional revenue stream. No manufacturer wants to see deep discounts on a new model, even if that means deep dealer incentives to prop up the car.
Folks see the EV and it sells itself. I had no interest in a Taycan four month's ago. I viewed one in a Staple's parking lot and said "damn, that's nice". Three weeks later as I am driving home, I am next to a T4S on the highway. It was Black, Sport Aero wheels and must have been in the lower mode. I was hooked, ordered my car two weeks later.

 

+1 on the situation in New England. Before I eliminated the Cross Turismo as a replacement for my Sport Turismo (because reasons) I began to talk pricing locally. Initially on the CT it was "are you sure you want a CT because I can sell you a 4-door version for 5-10% off, but if you want the CT I can give you my single allocation at MSRP and you can spec it how you like."

 

7% discount on an order?
