Death Valley 2024

Did you bring an extra set of wheels/tires with you. One pic looks like the 19" wheels and another pic looks like the 21" wheels. Just curious..

Well spotted. Two trips, separated by a stop in Tahoe where I switched from the winter wheels and tires to summers. There was snow on the ground one way and 100+ degrees by the time we rolled back through.

Highly recommend the 395 drive along the Eastern Sierras if you are ever in the area.

Just keeping the Mamba Green club alive...
Nothing special, just a trip to the dealer for the ARB6 recall.

That's one slick CT4, @jkoya

Evening down at Fort Baker

Brought the Mamba Green CT to the dealership for the ASA2 recall and parked next to a used 2022 Taycan 4S sedan for sale. Probably as close as I will get to see two Mamba Green Taycans so close to each other.

Loaner car is a 2025 Taycan RWD sedan. I now request a Taycan as a loaner so I'm not stuck with a base Macan, which I do not like. No offense to anyone that owns one. Anyway, the base sedan is fun to drive and powerful enough for the city and residential streets.

Just signing off from ownership of my MGM MY23 Taycan RWD. Its off back to the the finance company a month early to avoid tax, MOT and extended warranty with negative equity of over £17K on the final payment.

It has been an interesting ownership experience. This car has had more recalls and strandings than all of my previous cars put together. However, it has been a great drive and its the only car to generate so much passerby interest especially on various trips around Charente-Maritime department of France.

Of course, since the middle of last year, long distance journeys have been somewhat stressfull because of the navigation/charge planner issues mitigated by using ABRP and hop-by-hop charge station navigation. Then there is the Jan/Feb 12V battery issue. Hope they fix these issues for everyone soon.

Overall I have enjoyed the car, but its time to move on.

Wheels and stance does wonders for this car!

Were you carrying the tires with you?

I have a place in Truckee, North Lake Tahoe where we store the winter tires : )

In honesty the car is a little low for winter driving, as the berm at the bottom of our drive reminds me each time it snows more than 6", but I really do enjoy driving the car in all conditions on all days.

Absolutely gorgeous wheels ! How difficult are they to clean and have you noticed any differences in range ?

These cars don't make much brake dust so it's not that bad. Haven't noticed a big range drop yet but haven't driven it enough to measure.
