I run Pirelli PZero Winters. Used them all last year in all kinds of conditions. Let's put it this way, there was a day where we got 18+ inches of snow, the plows had only been out here and there, and I had to get up about 15 miles of steep switchbacks. In other words, it was about as tough...

I run all seasons during the summer and snows in the winter in Colorado. (It can snow any time of year in Colorado so I never go to summer tires.) I have only driven my Taycan with all seasons in very light snow so far so I don't have a really definitive answer for you, but I suspect you are...

I hear you but where I live, it can snow any time of year. I used to get standed when I had summer tires on other cars and we got a surprise snow storm. It is the price of living in the mountains. I drive snow tires about eight months of the year as it is.

My Conti OEM all seasons have 3.5K on them and are showing a decent amount of wear. I would guess I will to maybe 7K on them. Surprisingly my snow tires, Pirelli P Zero Snows , seem to be doing better. I already have more than 5K miles on them. I bet I get at least 10K of winter driving out...

In Colorado we have a lot of steep inclines that can cause problems on the lowest setting. (If you are transitioning from a flat road to a steep hill, there often is an inflection point in the road where the car scrapes.) I often leave it in normal and then aggressively use the lift function.

FWIW, I have 3K on my all seasons and they are showing a fair bit of wear. We will see how it goes, but I am thinking they will need replacing by 6K or sooner. Not doing anything crazy with them, but the car does have a lot of torque. My snow tires have 5-6K on them and they are holding up...

I agree that it is a solid review. It is one of the first reviews that I really agree with.

Yeah, that is not going to happen with Taycan owners. Seems like folks on this forum are swapping them out every 5 to 10K miles.

Seems like these EV ownership articles need to put more focus on the cost of tires. It is pretty clear that the torque from a lot of these new EVs is going to really help the tire companies. Time to buy stock in some of the tire companies.

Sorry to hear it. I bet the cops had their hands full trying to chase your car.

I only bring a charger when I am on a long road trip where the charging options are limited. I have brought it with me maybe 3 times in 14 months. That said, I have a charger at my house and have a lot of public chargers near me.

I used to live in Boston and drove some RWD cars there. As others have said, it is doable with the right tires. Might still be a little tough if you have to go up a huge hill or something like that, but otherwise fine most of the time with the right tires.

The car gets a lot of the usual stares although it is often the sound that throws people off. They hear the sound, and they have this stunned look on their face because they cannot imagine a Porsche being electric. My favorite story though is a bit different. I use my Taycan a lot in the...

I have had the car in a few times and generally only waited like 2-3 business days. My dealership has two high voltage techs so they do schedule around their availability a bit.

I had the same thing happen to me a few days ago and am in the same boat. I did have a chip about a year ago on the driver's side and the sealant worked pretty well, but I am not sure this time around as this is about the size that you describe. Mine is on the driver's side up high.

I get it with Bluetooth radio (since there is no support for Android Auto). If I change the source to radio and then go back to Bluetooth, it resolves but it is a pain to do on a regular basis. Hoping for an OTA fix at some point.

Yeah, the width is what was concerning me. It is a tight squeeze as it is with the 20" tires

A question for those who are doing a tire/wheel swap with 21" tires. Do the extra tires/wheels fit in the car? Maybe I am doing it wrong, but the 20" tires are a tight fit even with the seats down. Not sure how I would get 21" tires/wheels back and forth to the shop (assuming I wanted the...

I have exactly this issue. Feels like software to me.

Got my email last week and called the dealer the next day. They had "lots of open slots" about two days out. Took my car in for service today and was in and out in about two hours including the free car wash. No complaints here. The service manager did say that they really struggled to...
