I cannot find the thread, but as I recall @louv posted about how his range went from ~250 miles to ~200 miles when it got cold. I haven't driven enough in the cold to have a lot of observations myself. I do really like the ability to start the heater remotely. So nice to get to the car and...

I am just talking about the button on the right side of the dash that lifts the suspension. I assumed it was available on all cars in all regions, but maybe that isn't the case.

Not a dumb question at all and the answer isn't entirely clear. All season tires can be more like summer tires or more like winter tires or be somewhere right in the middle. There is a huge range of capabilities and it all comes down to what the manufacturer decided to do with that tire. My...

It is Colorado. My neighbors used to have a photo of them swimming on a 98 degree day in July the day after a blizzard that dumped four feet of snow. You never know what will happen here.

I know people have touched on winter driving in other threads, but I thought it was worthy of a dedicated thread. I have had my Taycan for about four months and have been anxious to see how it would do in the snow. I bought the car so I could have a sports car I could drive year round, but...

I seriously contemplated a 911 but didn't think it was worth the money relative to the car I had previously. I decided to go for the Taycan due to its incredible torque plus the environmental benefits. In other words, it was the combination of performance plus environmental benefits that...

I think they give you a certain number of free articles a month, but here is the text... They only look like conspicuous polluters. A new breed of electric performance cars, including Porsche’s Taycan and the Tesla Model S P100D, shows how environmentally minded fans of horsepower might...

NY Times just posted this article on the environmental side of the Taycan and Teslas. I could quibble about certain parts of the article, but overall I thought it was pretty solid. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/15/business/electric-supercars-porsche-taycan-tesla.html

I didn't get a lot of options but I did get sports chrono. I love the ability to switch to Sports Plus at a moment's notice.

Anyone have any thoughts about the PZero Winter versus the Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snow? Looks like both fit the 20 inch wheels.

About three months back I struggled with a stuck charging plug at home with the Porsche Mobile Charger. I haven't had the issue for a while, but I know that I tried unlocking the car dozens of times and had the passenger door open much of the time. I think there are probably a couple issues at...

All I know is that this weekend I did a trip in my 4S that was a little over 200 miles on 75 MPH highways. I started with 100% battery and returned with a little over 40% battery. That was mostly in Normal mode with a little on Sport Plus. By my math, I was seeing just under 350 miles range...

I opted out of PDCC to save costs. The cornering limits are so high even without it that I haven't missed it. This car just does not have a lot of body roll to start with. It would be totally different if I took it to the track. Just my two cents.

Call me old school, but I punted on PSS because it felt too light to me. I really wanted the rear wheel steering but couldn't get past the light feel at low speeds. I am used to the days where driving the 911 was truly a bicep workout although that was ages ago.

You can see the mounting in my profile pic - typical car mounting spot. The dealership put it there so one would hope they knew where to place it.

I get the same error and I don't have ACC. It seems to just go away. I just keep driving.

I have had the 4S for 2.5 months, and for the last month the car has consistently said about 265 miles of range at 85% capacity. (In the first month the car computer had much lower figures.) By my math, that is 312 miles on a full charge. When I run my own calculations manually I get about...

One word, "bonkers!" Every time I get in the car I say, "This car is bonkers!"

You are not the only one. I got this three times just today, and I am pretty sure the climate control wasn't on. Seems like a software bug.

Washed and waxed the car today to start the long weekend (in the U.S.) and then took my car on a twisty mountain road. As always, the performance is amazing. The car stood out so much that at least three other cars nearly drove off the road because they were so focused on trying to get a good...
