    New Rival: AMG GT - 4 Door Coupe - 1169hp

    Looks like its active ride feature is only roll bars. Six inches longer than Taycan and a porky 5,600 lbs.

    New Rival: AMG GT - 4 Door Coupe - 1169hp

    I'd also like a stick and clutch pedal to complete the emulation, or leave it in auto. Two cars in one without the smell, oil and plug changes.

    New Rival: AMG GT - 4 Door Coupe - 1169hp

    I like the ICE mode option in general, waiting to see how Porsche does theirs. Was hoping for a two speed gearbox like they're using in the C class.

    New Rival: AMG GT - 4 Door Coupe - 1169hp

    Ok, I've gone from No to Maybe. I'd approach from the side when using the hatch, and remain close to the car to avoid looking directly at that blacked out expanse. The V8 emulation mode looks fun and I don't hate the interior, I'll have to test its sound system against the Cayenne and i7.

    New Rival: AMG GT - 4 Door Coupe - 1169hp

    Might look acceptable in white with M Sport/Performance and Shadowline with the nostril surround lights off.

    Audi bringing adaptive matrix headlights to the US, is Porsche next?

    It's not that the manufacturers can just enable the EU matrix functionality in the US, there are other NHTSA lighting standards that must be met, so they would have to design separate headlights for each market.

    New Rival: AMG GT - 4 Door Coupe - 1169hp

    Mercedes-Benz is pulling a Richard Mille. We made something technically impressive but also exceeding ugly (except for the 67-01), we dare you to buy it! ...and so we will. I'm dropping out of this game and ordering an i7.

    Radar Detector Recommendations

    I'm curious, have you ever owned a radar detector? Starting right when I got my license I've had Mike Valentine's Escort, moved to his Valentine One, then started using Waze as well. I like how that radar/lidar AutoMod system has been tested to work. The manual says there are sections to the...

    Taycan 18 way seat Discomfort

    I'm 5' 9" and 165 lbs with no complaints regarding 18 ways in both the Taycan and GT4. Wasn't aware there were any differences between models other than covering material, seems to be thicker leather in my standard interior Taycan. Can't compare directly anymore because I swapped them out in the...

    What Happens To Us After 8 Years? (When battery warranty expires)

    Looks like Recell supplies a working but not necessarily new pack, also no upgrade from PB to PB+.

    GTS Ride Quality with or without Active Ride

    Just pretend you're on a motorcycle when it leans into the corners.

    Why is the Taycan so prone to tire punctures?

    The last eight years I've travelled roughly 400 miles per week almost exclusively on highways. Zero punctures with S8, M5 and Taycan over that time, and just one tire bulge on the S8 from a pothole. It's where you drive, not what you drive.

    (im)patiently waiting for MY27...

    My dealer said to check with him in June about the '27s.

    GTS Ride Quality with or without Active Ride

    Then they felt the base version without PAR was better.

    [March 2026 Update] - Porsche's ONLY OTA update hobbles North American Taycans to max 9.6 kW charge rate…

    My '23 with the standard OBC hasn't seen the update at this point. I dislike AC will be downrated if I do eventually get it, but the slower rate won't really affect me. However, it may allow plug and charge at Tesla DC chargers? If true, not having the optional 400V module, this would only apply...

    2027 M3 EV Quad-Motor -- first (leaked) images

    Roof won't look so high on the M3 with the puffed out fenders.

    That fun sure didn't last long... totaled Taycan Turbo GT on Copart with just 1,322 miles

    In high school a friend of mine `borrowed' a neighbor's 930 while they were away on vacation. He quickly discovered the joy of off throttle oversteer on a narrow country road, but luckily was able to return it unharmed.

    Ford announces Apple Maps EV Routing Preconditioning for 2026 Mach-E

    That would be nice, but Porsche hates us once we buy the car, we are dead to them until it's time to buy another one.

    Yeti Tundra 45 in a Taycan sedan?

    It actually does go all the way back, must have been in the M5 that wasn't possible.

    Yeti Tundra 45 in a Taycan sedan?

    Yeah, in the sedan it can't be pushed all the way back, so other stuff goes in first.
