just make sure your front wheels are pointing straight before releasing the brake...
And there's a bit of a head rush as the blood in your brain pools in the rear of your cranium
I frigging LOVE the PPF. I did the whole car and would do it again the same way.
See this set of posts for detailed description..
Now, 12,000 miles and 18 months later, I appreciate the PPF even more.
The car always looks clean
The finish has a deep "luster"
No chips or dings (despite...
Rear wheel steering is an absolute joy: precision and tight turns. Excellent.
Thermally/noise-insulated glass: a must-have if you drive on the highway. It makes the Burmester worth every penny.
Innodrive: in the U.S., around San Francisco, daily driving works too well, dropping speed to posted...

I wasn't referring to the SuncoastParts.com aftermarket lugs. I was referring to the lugs that come with the Taycan. One can buy a socket that fits the Taycan stock lug, which looks like this:
Yes, there is normally a minor hum like all electric vehicles have, that cannot be turned off; however, the “audio engine” is distinct and of greater volume and can be enabled/disabled or programmatically associated with each drive mode (Normal, Sport, Sport Plus, Individual)
The lost Burmester...
ciaranob, thanks for the write up. I generally follow a similar path. A couple of exceptions:
Right Diamond: Sound on/off. I use the sound in parking lots to alert pedestrians then turn it off.
Multi-display: This had been my most used as my car has Burmester audio. The multi-display...
You are ahead of the game since the SUV driver has USAA and the police report ID’s that driver as at fault. USAA is a stand up org. I’ve had USAA insurance for 40 years.
Reinforcing here an earlier comment regarding notifying your own insurance company. In previous experiences, USAA (as my...
I love my Bermester.
My reference is Meridian Audio at home with HD audio served from a Room server.
In the Taycan, I listen to my home server using Roon ARC streaming HD audio, or streaming Tidal HD tracks.
the Bermester fidelity is tremendous (compared with auto alternatives). I use...
This is exactly the experience that I have. It is scary when it happens - having to run the brake pedal much farther than expected hoping the vehicle will stop. Not confidence inspiring.
Approaching a stop with light to moderate pedal pressure from normal speed. Then if one feathers the break...
@YWGT3 Would you tell me which dealer and service rep you used in the bay area?

I have the same problem. It is not limited to backing. "Scary" is correct.
Approaching a stop with light to moderate pedal pressure from normal speed. Then if one feathers the break peddle (lift a little to reduce the breaking action) to prevent premature stopping, the brake pressure is lost...
For anyone interested in STEK and its hydrophobic properties (so it does not need an additional layer of ceramic coating), this is what "drying" the car looks like after a wash :D (using a leaf blower...)
The factory-provided "security" splined wheel bolt is no real security at all. One can buy a splined socket for $40 on eBay With a socket and battery-powered impact wrench, it's seconds to remove weel bolts.
It was no deterrent to the would-be thief who first snagged the splined bolt on my...

Don't buy Porsche "security" wheel bolts.
The Taycan's splined "security" wheel bolt is not a deterrent to thieves.

It was the first bolt removed by would-be thieves on my own three-month-old MY2021:
