I played with this tonight- I found it quite hard to get the self-calibration to run. It will do it in drive, hold, park, or even with you (and the key) out the car. Has to be on level ground in medium suspension height, steering straight, auto lights on dipped beam, the right distance from the...

I don't think having the box ticked blinds anyone; my impression is: unticked = normal: the beam pattern is flat, with an upward kink on the nearside (to illuminate the nearest verge for pedestrians, animals, signs etc) ticked = opposite driving side: the beam pattern is flat, without the...

Anyone finding this who is trying to prevent being flashed by other drivers when using "auto-high beam" on LED-Matrix lights, note: there is a self-calibration procedure worth trying it may be worth checking/toggling your "Inverted setting of dipped beam" to ensure it's correct (and the tick...

Reading the manual, it appearrs the "inverted setting of dipped beam" should only be ticked if you're driving on the opposite side of the road. So for a UK car, driving in the UK, the tick box should be off in general? There was a previous bug where this would "toggle on" without any user...

If it were excessive camber, yes you’d expect to see uneven wear across the tread. It’s not camber wear. In every case of delamination there seems to be excessive inner shoulder wear - ie it’s not purely tyre failure without cause. The inner shoulder wear is typical of toe wear. Under...

This is interesting from Driftworks - I certainly agree with the failure mode being hard to detect (and potentially dangerous between the 2 year services). Hard to interpret their numbers (in mm) - but assuming they mean total toe in and are on the 21" wheel, they said: - Running the fronts at...

A couple of light references to most people passing it here: (and prj failing on HVAC flaps :rolleyes: ) https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/porsche-extended-warranty-late-2021-taycan.31460/post-492896

For the reasons detailed in post #193, I don't think Goodyear or NHTSA will do much about it (the UK DVSA certainly didn't). Unless there are numerous owners who can firmly evidence they did not: - have out of spec tracking at any point during the tyres life - let the tyres go below specified...

Totally agree - my rears did ~16000miles which I’m happy with, given the tread was worn down pretty evenly to the minimum (eg I got my monies worth, and am not being needlessly wasteful). What we’re trying to avoid is ‘premature’ failure that only some people seem to get on the inner shoulders...

I measured the effects of suspension ride height today (this was on a hunter rig with a meticulous specialist). I don't think camber is relevant to the tyre wear, but notice that lowering increases toe at rear and decreases at front: In the meantime I've updated some thoughts on the Taycan...

A short while ago I noticed the load rating of the 21" tyres (101 104) are lower than the 19" (103 108) or 20" (103 108 or 101 105). This got me looking up: - 101 rating (front) is good for 825kg - 104 (rear) is good for 900kg Clearly 3,450kg is collectively high enough for the static Taycan...

Interesting, reason I asked is to give you my opinion of options: - I have photochromatic pano roof. I wouldn't bother with photochromatic in future; but would go for pano, however only for kids, not really apparent/ particularly value add for driver. As a long term keeper without pano, you're...

MapEV will not increase range (only power) - the page linked above is for PB+ spec (and there is an equivalent PB page too). Lots of info from @prj regarding warranty in his threads: https://taycanforum.com/forum/threads/part-1-mapev-diag.25758/

Personally, if you love the car, I'd keep it as your daily - little point having it if it will sit in the garage and 80+% of your mileage is done in a second 'crappy' car. Depending what you had to pay for it, your mileage isn't so high to rule this out. eg in another 5 years it will have done...

There is actually at least one TSB for J1.1 later than this (dated 2/7/2023) however I don't have a link. A list of these TSBs is tabulated here: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/taycan-problem-potential-catastrophic-tire-failure.16788/post-484831

Good guide, thanks! I'd heard removing the arm rest from the car was a pita, and can't quite figure out; does your 10 minute estimate include removing it from car, or do you recommend leaving the armrest fitted to the car whilst replacing leather top as you describe above?

Jaguar iPace regen feel is also notably well calibrated (likely better than Tesla) if anyone wanted a better tuning benchmark...

Hey, what is current proce on these and where roughly are you based if I were able to collect?

I'm going to rule that out since there's always wear (externally) in a similar pattern around the shoulder, before the separation occurs. Even if it's not uniform, the wear always seems to be a precursor to the separation (eg from other tyre today):
