How strong was the tailwind?

My ‘18 4S ST (not hybrid) is over 400kg lighter than our ‘21 CT4. I specifically chose the non-ehybrid due to weight and less complexity with the hybrid system. The Taycan “feels” like it handles better due to the lower CoG, until you get to braking. The lighter Panamera induces much more...

Went through the steps to dl the Tesla app and sign up an account. Was hoping to see some options where there are gaps in EA’s coverage (ie I-20 east of dallas, US287 from Wichita Falls to Amarillo) and nada. Looks like some very obscure locations within the urban and suburban areas but no...

Thanks for the info. Do you have experience without the hitch on similar routes, for comparison purposes? On a long roadtrip in August I was floating around 2.7-3.0 mi/kWh without a hitch and able to pull off some 200 mile segments which helped minimize total number of stops. Would ideally plan...

Anyone logged a longer road trip with their bikes on Willy’s hitch rack? I’m in planning mode for a summer trip to the mountains (1k miles each way) and wondering how much of an efficiency hit I should expect. I did a ~200 mile test run this past weekend on I-35 but the 20mph head/tailwind...

Initial install takes a few minutes but once you have the technique down it takes all of 30 seconds to fully install or remove it. You also can use it behind the front seats to separate yourself from folded rear seats or rear passengers - kinda like a taxi. Also fits our Panamera ST which is...

Edit: just searched PS4 and see they can be all seasons. Do you have AS or summer version? Original post: How are those summer tires in freezing weather? Had PS4 on F10 (RWD) M5 and I avoided driving that car below 40*F/5*C because the tires turned into gripless stones. The rest of the year...

If we develop a racing series comprised of Taycans then can we call it a sports car? Throw some fast charging into the middle of the race, using EA fast chargers, to really spice it up. Some will instantly plug-and-charge, some drivers will have to fiddle with the Porsche or EA app, while...

Put this sticker in your window and then it’s a sports car:

@Fsudoles regarding diminished value, that is available only in certain states. Are you in a state that allows it? Texas does and I’ve gone through it before. Repairs need to be completed before you negotiate diminished value with Geico. You can do so on your own or hire someone to do it. Rule...

I think air density for colder and drier seasons is under acknowledged. I notice at lower speeds while cycling required power for the same speed is dramatically higher - for a vehicle traveling 2, 3, or 4x my cycling speed, it would be exponential. Someone told me recently that dry air is...

I have State Farm and had to work with them on another car (Porsche) I own - a flash flood caused water to be sucked into the coolant system and ruined the evap system. So they say Porsche centers aren’t part of their network and threaten that not all costs will be covered, but if you drop the...

Not sure if it was already said but you’d be dealing with Geico, not State Farm. State Farm will put the pressure on the other insurance company (since they do not want to pay for repairs and the police report states fault clearly) but once the repair is initiated and fault rightly assigned then...

100%. Also if our CT4 battery is under 70*, launch control is dramatically slower. Can’t imagine if the battery is in the 30s or 40s.

37 sure is cold. Even if you could activate it, I don’t think you’d be thrilled with the result.

I recall searching for instructions to install it and nada. As mentioned above, the top bar is spring loaded so you compress it when installing and it stays in place based on that force. Then clip and tighten the lower straps and you’re good to go. It fits and installs the same way in our...

It definitely depends on the audience. As a CT4 owner(and panny ST owner), I simply say we didn’t want an SUV and these were the only options that allow us to haul kids and dogs. If you look at the cost of an entry level Model S, an Escalade, a Model X, a Merc GLS 5x0, loaded F-series trucks...

Agreed. Quotes like these make me think I can part out my new Taycan for 3x MSRP.

I’ve lucked out with EA stations but I did notice on PlugShare that the Waco station was ripped out before Thanksgiving (and I planned accordingly despite the car telling me to stop there). There are no fast charger alternatives in the area and I’d guess that’s the most trafficked interstate...

Consider replacement cost and availability of tires as well. Had a 20”tire with sidewall puncture on the Taycan and it cost under $300 to replace. Same issue with Panamera with 21” wheel and that was over $500. Not sure what non-OEM tire options are available with 21” Taycan wheels but the...
