    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    My last Audi was a V10 S8 sedan, they didn't produce anything afterwards that was of interest.

    Nice, this may be the first of this type of repair, good news for those with the same problem.

    Selling a '21 - with A BRAND NEW BATTERY - how do i request/ask for more money? Should i even?

    From an informed buyer's perspective, I would be asking if the whole pack was replaced with a 1.2, or did they replace a percentage of the modules. If the latter, it wouldn't be a positive because of reasons ct14garage has listed.

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    There's no alternative other than a different Porsche. If for no other reason because it can be ordered mostly just the way you want, excluding PTS constraints, and intermittent supply chain issues (Bose and Burmester in '22).

    Big drop in range after a few days… is my HV battery failing after 42K miles / 4 years?

    Normal due to lower temperature and higher speed, nothing to do with how you charged.

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    I like it, looks like PTS Riviera.

    How good is your Taycan at winter?

    My GT4 gets single digit mpg, but it's a track car. Turismo shape appears to be less efficient, yesterday in similar weather and speed I got 3.1 mi/kWh over 206 miles.

    How good is your Taycan at winter?

    Yes, always to 100% just in time for leaving.

    How good is your Taycan at winter?

    Had to look up `charger boot'. I've been charging outside in NH for three years and it's never got stuck, there's some heat generated, you'll see the cable sink into the snow. My standard PB gets 322 km in the coldest MA/NH weather, you shouldn't have a problem with your PB+.

    Magnetic Phone Charger Idea: Need 3D Engineering & Printing Help!

    If you don't want to overheat your phone, and won't be looking at it, why not just throw it in the center console away from the inductive pad?

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    Like others have suggested, try the Neue Klasse. It can also keep your home powered, which is something Porsche isn't even talking about. I had an M5 before the Taycan, didn't handle as well so I hope that's improved.

    GTS Ride Quality with or without Active Ride

    Always remember you are the student when talking with an engineer, I learned this when I told my dad I wanted to put a V8 in a Beetle.

    J1.2 Turbo or Turbo S?

    I think the .2 Tx is a styling mess with its front shovels and fake rear vents, although the TGT milk mustache makes some sense. Even so, the TGT doesn't offer NVA if you like that. The 4 through T can be tuned to the same level, so my choice will probably be a `27 4S with PAR.

    GTS Ride Quality with or without Active Ride

    Good point about winter tires having adequate wear in the cold, I'll go for the Pirelli P Zero Winter, P Zero Winter 2 and others mentioned unavailable in Taycan 20" sizes. I'll continue to use the 21" ProContact RX set the other three seasons, but will have a summer performance tire with the...

    GTS Ride Quality with or without Active Ride

    Thanks prj, assumed three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) tires would have lower tread wear rating, but the Michelin CrossClimate2 is 640 for example. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/michelin-crossclimate2 Winter tires are rated 3PMSF, but so can all seasons...

    GTS Ride Quality with or without Active Ride

    Hankook comes close with 245/35R21 and 295/30R21 all seasons (600 tread wear). https://www.tirerack.com/tires/hankook-ion-evo-as I inquired about adding the original sizes 5/28/24 and received this reply. Hello d00d! Thank you for contacting Hankook's warranty support. As of now, we are...

    GTS Ride Quality with or without Active Ride

    I'm just using my Taycan as a three to four hour highway commuter between houses twice a week, so not sporting use. The Continental ProContact RX all season has a tread wear rating of 500, but the performance tires are 300 or less (higher is longer)...

    GTS Ride Quality with or without Active Ride

    It's possible to have the look of a 21" without an unpleasant ride quality due to stiff sidewall performance tires. I have the 21" Mission E Design wheels, as well as a winter set of 20" Turbo Aero wheels, both with Continental ProContact RX all season tires, can't feel any difference.

    Night Vision Assist doing its thing

    Integration with the matrix headlights, where it flashes pedestrians, is part of the NVA option. It also highlights people and animals in the center tube, and as Dee points out, it pops into view even if not selected. Automatically braking for people, animals and other obstructions is part of...

    Burmester sound system option

    I know ATMOS makes my bedroom Samsung QN900C/Q990C sound better than my office Apollon Purifi 1ET400A/Klipsh Cornwall IV/Chord Qutest and M-Scaler system. In the confines of a car interior I would expect a smaller improvement.
