    Taycan Cross Turismo as Snowmobile

    Get Autosocks and put winter tires on for winter. With how bad Seattle streets were during the snow & ice, it was really frustrating seeing people out on all season tires thinking AWD would save them. The streets & highways were in too poor of condition for all season tires. Just drives me mad...

    Anyone's key FOB battery low yet?

    Ditto. Although apparently my SOS button is broken.. or so my dash keeps telling me. Oh no!

    What are your top 3 Taycan 4S performance options in order and why?

    RAS is by far first. Then PTV+ PDCC as a super optional 3rd. RAS benefits every element of driving everyday. Turn radius improves, high speed stability, it's fantastic. PTV+ is nice if you really push the car but it's not noticeable most of the time. Theortically helps in inclement weather...

    Normal Mode Ride Height: High Enough for Most Obstacles?

    Even on my standard 4S Normal is perfectly fine. Lowered is rarely an issue either.

    Frozen cars delivered to Russia

    I would definitely reject delivery on one of those. :CWL:

    Driver display always ON?

    Is it draining any battery? Possible they figured out a sleep mode w no significant battery drain to speed up cold boot. Bug or feature?

    "Porsche Determines 85 KWh Is The Ideal Battery Size For Its Electric Cars" Articles

    The problem with relying on fast charging is that the current & near future infrastructure is going to be CRUSHED w too many cars within 2 years. EA is already low on 350 chargers for the current # of EVs. If Porsche sticks an 85 in the Macan I won't be buying one.

    Infrastructure Bill passed. I don’t think this is good.

    You know if someone says something on Twitter or Fox News that it's 100% true and they won't change their mind later. ... This could very well just be a power play.

    Please critique my build :)

    PDCC is really a track option, IMHO. Even going a bit mad on a backroad you're not going to reach the limits of the car where PDCC really pays off and it adds a bit of an unnatural feel. If you have the budget it's not a bad thing to spec but on a budget it's pretty far down the list. I'd do...

    Please critique my build :)

    I would always spec RAS on a car these days, there's just no downside. I like PTV+ but it's not strictly necessary. I do not like PDCC. I'd add the acoustic insulated glass and RAS and remove the power charging port. Consider ventilated seats as well. Then your build looks great to me.

    Suspension Noise over potholes and manholes

    Hmm. I find the ride quality to be exceptional, but I enjoy sportier suspensions. I haven't experienced any clunks or booms. Is this your first EV? Could it just be getting used to the combination of a sportier suspension + no engine noise to mask sounds?

    Porsche (or PCNA) deleted my car and my account, and customer support is worthless. How do I fix this?

    Take your pick. The worse five dealerships I've ever experienced for any brand are Porsche Tacoma, JLR Lynnwood, Porsche Bellingham, JLR Bellevue, and Porsche Bellevue. Terrible area to buy a luxury car. Come on guys, lay off the OP. OP I think only the dealership you purchased from can fully...

    Standard interior with burmester audio or leather interior with Bose

    If you're planning on one of the interior colors offered in Standard (black or black/beige, don't do Slate) I'd stay standard. IMO the leather options really pop with one of the two tones, especially the Olea. Not sure what options you selected but you'd always do insulated glass w Bose before...

    New chromatic pano roof for non-GTS Taycan models(?)

    I've heard it will be available on all Taycans by the end of 2022. I'd still rather they just offer a shade. How reliable are these chromatic roofs?

    Taycan steering feel

    Are you talking about steering feel or steering weight? I was referring to steering feedback, ie.. mimicking mechanical steering.The above is referring to steering weight. Yes, certain things change the steering weight slightly. But they do not markedly improve the feedback and in fact many...

    Taycan steering feel

    The Pirellis are fine. You got an accurate idea of how the steering is, up to you to decide if you like it enough. But the steering feeling in the GTS likely won't be significantly different. The modes don't change how the electric steering feels, they just alter suspension/PCM/torque...

    Taycan steering feel

    If you didn't like the steering feel of the 4S you won't like it on any of them. There are no options that significantly alter it. Was it on Pilot Sport 4 summers or all seasons? That would make it a bit better. But that's it.

    Yea or nay on the Thermally and Noise Insulating Glass

    It's the one option I regret not getting. I'd spec it.
