    Lease vs. Buying Used

    If it's a car you love, then purchase is definitely the right approach. Also of you're financing, rates go down,.you can always refi for a lower rate, pay down the loan more to decrease rate exposure. The MF on new Taycans is around 7.9% now, CPO is higher from PFS. Plus that silly $1095...

    Lease vs. Buying Used

    Exactly. I was going to lease my car for incentives, then buy it out after that 2nd payment. At a 45% residual, 8.4% APR (Money Factory), it made no sense at all.

    Lease vs. Buying Used

    Problem with Taycan lease is the horrible money factor and poor residual, specially on higher end models. There are really good lease incentives on new 2025s right now

    Redshift vs MapEV

    Turbo GT has the same hardware as the Weissach and just software limited?

    I'll install after I get my car back before the weekend. I'll email you so we can start getting some data

    J1.2 Oversteer

    I've had the upgraded ASG before the car was delivered haha. I need to get a better feel for the cars driving dynamics, including the oversteer. I couldn't imagine with that upgrade and I can't wait 😎

    J1.2 Oversteer

    The Turbo GT is 777hp without Attack Mode, tuned RS E-Tron GT was around the same. Turbo GT power delivery is more violent

    J1.2 Oversteer

    @prj would know the difference in torque with a tuned RS E-Tron GT vs a stock Turbo S. I know the Audi is software tuned to be softer, with more understeer. J1.2 Turbo S/GT in stock form just rotates more. I assume the GT roates even more due to have more torque. A friend with a Tuned...

    J1.2 Oversteer

    I have less than 2,000 miles on the car, stock Pirelli P-Zero R summer tires, in sunny California. I don't drive in the rain and I avoid driving in cold temps for safety. I just really have to pay attention all the time and I'm not a good enough driver to ever turn off TC on public roads. My...

    J1.2 Oversteer

    It's a Turbo GT with Weissach. I push it a little harder in Sport and Sport Plus I'm not sure if other variants have the same driving dynamics

    LKA randomly turns on

    German OEMs heavily rely on the dealer to funnel information to them. I asked Audi and Porsche about their presence on forums like ours. They didn't seem to care for it. I completely agree with you though. It would be very efficient and ahead of issues if they just had one person scanning the...

    J1.2 Oversteer

    I find my Taycan to be very tail happy. Coming out of a turn, a little throttle and the tail kicks out, even if the tires are warm. Traction control saves it, but it's pretty aggressive. This is without the power upgrade which will be even more dangerous. Is this much oversteer normal for...

    LKA randomly turns on

    It's always good to have any record of any issues and for Porsche to have that data. I'm not expecting them to have a fix for it

    LKA randomly turns on

    It's a valid point. I'm the only one that has driven it and I never touch the memory settings

    Fake gear shifts coming to 2027 Taycan (and big PCM update)!

    In a SavageGeese video on the Taycan, a Porsche engineer said it was a modified Panamera platform

    LKA randomly turns on

    You're probably right, but at least there is a record of the instance

    LKA randomly turns on

    I had the J1.1 RS E-Tron GT, never any bugs either. Made appointment for service, will let you know the results

    LKA randomly turns on

    Once in a while, the LKA turns on when I unlock and turn on my car. I need to go into the PCM and uncheck I never want LKA on. Am i doing something wrong?

    PCM & UX

    The paddles are very solid. Left is Regen on/off,right is Attack Mode (Push to Pass) for 10sec on/off. The knobs (Blue Arrows) for mode selection and PASM have a really nice click, but around the knob is plastic. It should have been at least aluminum Even the Ioniq 6 has them in aluminum
