Hello, first time EV owner from Brisbane.
Technically the Taycan is my "wife's car", but it's our daily.
Got a Taycan because after owning the Gallardo for a year or so, and loving the vibe, we wanted another "vibey" car, that was still a practical daily with 2 kids, with a warranty, etc...
I'm predicting a strong aftermarket in the next 5-10 years. There are also some insanely high kWh/kg batteries coming out, and if I could get ~90kWh for ~300kG (already possible today) that would make the car 1900kg, which is a featherweight in todays cars (2500kg M5 wtaf)
I can tell you in my case it's not the friction brakes underperforming. The brake force suddenly goes up exactly when regen drops to zero. "spongy pedal and bad regen transition" sounds right though.
I feel almost the opposite. At ~10kph, when the callipers are engaged, they bite too hard and it's slightly off-putting. It feels like the regen brake force isn't calibrated to align with the physical brakes.
This could be inverted to say "the regen braking force isn't enough" to be fair.
The issue is that it's *only* low at highway speeds in range mode. I cannot select low manually.
I'm pretty used to low cars, so I'm not worried about forgetting to raise if neccisary.
I actually suspect that this omitted feature is causing alignment issues, as when the car is aligned at "normal ride height", it will be off for highway speeds. I've noticed the car is a little unstable on the highway, as if it needs a tiny bit of toe-in, but there's absolutely no way to align...
Hi all, new owner/member here.
We recently got an Australian market MY21 Taycan 4S, and I've noticed the "Low" chassis height option isn't available in the menu. The car will go into low mode on the highway, but not just by going into sport plus. Apparently this is an Australian specific thing...
