    Taycan Turbo S track time at Laguna Seca

    SpeedSF - but they all use motorsportreg.com so you can look there for dates that work for you and go with whichever club or group has rented the track.

    Taycan Turbo S track time at Laguna Seca

    There are superchargers at the track but they only work for Teslas :-( They don’t appear as a public charging station in the Tesla app (as they are in private land) so you can’t select it as a non-Tesla to turn it on. I tried… There’s fast chargers and superchargers that do work at Salinas Nob...

    Taycan Turbo S track time at Laguna Seca

    Thanks, it's only taken me 20 years to figure it out... the speed on the straights was startling though.

    Taycan Turbo S track time at Laguna Seca

    Yes, it does, I wasn't pushing it to the limit, especially through turn 1, it gets super light over the crest at 130mph and I was exploring how well the PSC would keep the car under control at the limit. I did an autocross with it last year so had a bit of experience pushing the car, but the...

    Taycan Turbo S track time at Laguna Seca

    You have to be in Sport Plus mode first, then I think there's an option to start preconditioning, or maybe you have to sit at idle in sport plus mode for a while before the session starts? Anyhow I didn't figure it out. I was happy to get 7-8 laps flat out. The 2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance...

    Taycan Turbo S track time at Laguna Seca

    First time with Taycan at the track, although I’ve driven it for many years in other cars. Street tires - Eagle F1 - were the main limitation. I didn’t pre-condition the battery and that overheated after about 8 laps of hard driving, so we pulled in a lap early. A 911GT3 got in my way for a...

    Is there any Taycan morning drive event in Bay Area CA?

    That’s very cool! I didn’t notice the announcement. If a group gets together for one of these we could meet up at my house. I’m a few minutes away from the track.

    we are a bit too far south, but I now have my new wheels and had some fun at an AutoX on Saturday.

    Looking for tire recommendations

    My car came with 21” all season continentals, but I wanted summer tires and different rims so I just got the Goodyear Eagles. I think they are similar in noise level, maybe a bit quieter, but I haven’t driven them much yet.

    Is there any Taycan morning drive event in Bay Area CA?

    Yes, oak green and black interior. There are lot of cars at dealers with this exact spec and we spent a couple of months looking for a good deal.

    Is there any Taycan morning drive event in Bay Area CA?

    Hi folks, I finally got my Taycan last week. It’s a second hand ‘25 Turbo S from Los Gatos Luxury Cars, and we live close to Laguna Seca nowadays. Used to live on Skyline Blvd at the Los Gatos end. I don’t like the way these wheels look so I’ve ordered RS Sypder wheels and will eventually put...

    The Turbo S arrived today!

    We like the Oak Green Metallic Neo Turbo S, but don’t like the white wheels. However those are the easiest thing to change. We have owned a green 09 Boxster S since 2010, and it’s a similar shade. I’m planning to get a set of RS Spider wheels.

    The Turbo S arrived today!

    Looks great. We test drove the launch spec green turbo S today and looked at demo vs. new options. The spec is close enough for us, and there are around 20 cars to choose from just in California. We’re negotiating with a few dealers…
