I'm in Sweden and I got the message yesterday. I tried do install but failed—my HV battery was initially at 83% and the installation process froze, and then automatically rebooted; when I got the message next time, my battery was then at 80% and the install button was grey... I've now charged to...

...and here are my new winter wheels as well: Porsche Tequipment 20", also custom repainted in Satin Platinum (Porsche color code OB5) with Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 SUV tyres (I think the indoor lighting makes them look a bit brighter than they do outside):

I bought my 2023 GTS ST used when it was 1,5 years old and at 22K km (~14K miles), and the SoH when tested then was at 95%. I've now had it for another 1,5 years (i.e. car's age currently 3 years), and it's at 29K km (~18K miles). I haven't run any new SoH test since then, but I will try to soon...

...i.e. the coming Cayman EV... :cool:

I went the other way—had them in Satin Black but then had them repainted in Satin Platinum (OB5) instead...

I might be interested—I've just bought a used set of Tequipment 20" winter wheels and had them repainted in Satin Platinum, but the tyre shop told me that the sensors had rusted stuck and had to be broken off; fortunately though, they have a used set lying around somewhere that I could get for...

I have the MapEV tune on my 2023 GTS ST and can absolutely recommend it. Another parameter if you're in Europe, apart from the technical and pricing aspects, is how keen you are to purchase from the US right now—speaking for myself I try to "vote with my wallet" and thus currently avoid US...

I have a 2014 RS6 with an APR tune @ 690 PS / 990 Nm, and a 2023 GTS Sport Turismo with a MAPEV tune @ 800 PS / 910 NM. Both are very fast cars, but for me personally even these are not fast enough to provide any lasting adrenaline shock (in terms of instant blinding acceleration; on the track...

Thanks everyone for positive feedback—sounds like it won't be an issue with the generic "SUV" marked PA5's then, although specific NFx's would have been the preferred choice. I'm having the silver 20" Tequipment rims repainted in satin platinum right now (just like I did with the satin black...

I just bought a set of used 20" Tequipment rims with used Pilot Alpin 5 tires on them (as winter wheels), but instead of the Porsche specific "NF0" (or "NF1") marking these tires are marked "SUV" (i.e. generic, not Porsche specific). Is there anyone out there that has any experience from driving...

Myself I went from a Cayman GTS 4.0 PDK (470 PS via APR) to a Taycan GTS Sport Turismo (800 PS via MAPEV), and even though I loved the Cayman I wouldn't go back. I also have an RS6 Avant (690 PS via APR), but I have now got a set of winter wheels for the Taycan to try and drive it a bit in the...

Thanks Chun for taking the time to answer. Sad to hear it seems the dealer exaggerated the software update time, and that they also would normally charge for a software update which you believe is actually covered by Porsche; I'll have to raise this with them. The reason I would like to have...

I'm having an issue with the Bluetooth connection between my iPhone 14 Pro (running iOS 18.7.1) and the Taycan PCM (I'm not using Apple CarPlay as I prefer to use just the simple Bluetooth connection to play the music library on my iPhone). Before I did the battery software update at the dealer...

Yeah, lots of people seem to have problems with pronouncing the South Korean brand: It's "Hee-on-die", as opposed to "Honn-dah" :-).

Thanks prj for always responding so fast and knowledgeable! Ok, so an open question then to all others here who also has the tune and decided to modify the level 1 regen value: What value did you go with, and how do you feel this has improved the driving experience in your case?

Has any of your customers had a tune with level 1 regen increased by 20 or 30 or 40 % yet, and if so what feedback have you received from them? (I'm still on the fence about doing this myself :–).

Yeah, I'm not too fond of coasting either, feels a bit unnatural to me... However, if I understand you correctly, is your take on this that you currently only offer modification to the level 1 value (keeping level 0 intact as OFF)? If so, then what is the new level 1 regen value that you...

Ah, that's interesting! So it would be possible then to set level 0 (OFF/coasting) to let's say the current level 1 regen value (or perhaps even slightly less), and then increase level 1 (ON/current regen) to a higher value that more mimics the behaviour of high-rev engine braking on an ICE car...

Wow, the visceral experience when driving these two cars is so different that it's actually hard to compare. The RS6 acceleration *feels* quicker and more brutal (less weight, more torque and a lot more sound :–), although in reality the Taycan probably out-accelerates it every single time...

The reason I chose to not apply the power increase in Normal mode is because I thought (and still think) it's nice to be able to shift between original and tuned setting—if my wife (or anyone else) should drive the car, it'll then behave like a regular Taycan as long as they don't go into either...
