I have to keep coming back to the fact that if this was an alignment issue, you would see it on the treadwear. This is just basic tire wear 101 - no? We have delamination without unusual treadwear on multiple tire types. I had my alignment checked when I had this problem, and it was within...

That is not quite correct - it's a 90% reduction in emissions compared to 2021.

Porsche had a technology/complexity moat against competition for Performance - in that competing with Porsche required competitors to take on the same mechanical complexity Porsche had mastered - and while they might choose to purse that - it was hard to see how they could be profitable doing...

This doesn't look like wear to me, it looks like a structural failure of the tire causing delamination. Your wear bars are still indicating some good tread left on the inner shoulder. As I said earlier, I don't think this is a tire wear issue, I think it is a stress issue where the tire...

Yes, battery preheated, and that's one of the reasons I use the Porsche nav system. The decrease in range while driving (probably due to the drop in temperature during the trip) was most disconcerting though.

Well, I did my planning using the Porsche approved tools. That should be all that is required. The appeal of the hybrid is obvious to quite a few folks, including Porsche and the majority of other car manufacturers who are currently switching their overall strategy from EV to hybrids.

Well, I am sad to say that I'm stepping off the EV bus when my Taycan extended warranty expires in October of next year. I will most likely get a Panamera Turbo S hybrid. My last roadtrip sealed the deal. 20 deg F temperatures and a 250 mi trip from Cincinnati to Cleveland. Put my...

I have to heartily agree. The new bumper on the turbo is a monstrosity, and if it exists in 2028 when I need a new car, then it won't be a Taycan. I just don't understand how anyone can look at the front of this car and say 'this is a beautiful design!'. Fingers crossed for a restyling by 2028...

Almost 88% think the J1 is better looking. Probably even higher if you compare the Turbo versions. I just don't know why they had to spend their time and money to make the car worse looking.

After going through this entire thread, I don't think I've ever seen less information conveyed in more words. Does anybody have any actual (recent) information about the next generation Taycan?

I'm going to throw this out there - it's an interesting possibility. What if we're not looking at a shoulder wear problem, but a separation of the tread/sidewall due to excessive stress?

So - does anyone have a guess as to why this is happening, and what to do to resolve it? I believe we have established it's not the camber setting.

Running high tire pressure might ameliorate the problem, but we still don’t have the cause. Could it be rws? Anyone see this problem without it?

From my buddy Claude: Taycan Inner Shoulder Tire Failure — Root Cause Analysis The Problem: Rear tires with even tread wear (5-8mm across the full width) are failing catastrophically at the inner shoulder, with cords exposed or sidewall separation. This wear is often invisible from outside...

I have to agree - if it was a camber problem, you’d see uneven tread wear. I didn’t see that on my tires, and haven’t seen it on posters tires. Something very strange…

Looks are about as subjective as you can get, but IMO the J1 Taycan is one of the best looking cars ever put on the road. Never really heard that about the 911 - its a great looking car, but the design is definitely evolutionary vs revolutionary.

I wouldn't say 2x the complexity, but they do have more systems to worry about, and the reliability is not great at this point. PHEV batteries will have shorter lifespans than EV's because of the reasons above, but they should last the warrantee period (8 years), and if not they can be replaced...

.345 deg increase in camber doesn't strike me as enough to cause inner sidewall failure. Possibly the toe adjustment is off - I guess there is a special tool required, and inner sidewall is very sensitive to toe adjustment. I'd ask more experienced minds to weigh in here.

If this is the case, then shame on Porsche. Selling a car with a suspension adjustment that, if chosen, will result in a catastrophic tire failure is about as bad as you can get from an engineering standpoint. I'm not as sure as you about the cause... Has anyone done an alignment measurement...

public transportation in the US can certainly be improved, but we will NEVER have infrastructure like europe or japan simply due to our population density, or lack thereof. I don't agree that PHEV's are inefficient in terms of energy - just look at the numbers. Mercedes PHEV driven for two...
