A quick “P.S.”: I recommend Rear Axle Steering. Our Taycan GTS is remarkably agile and I suspect RAS is a factor.

I have Active Ride on a 2025 GTS purchased as part of a dealer promotion in August 2025, perhaps to increase sales. I traded in a 2023 GTS without Active Ride and had to select a GTS that was in stock with a dealer. I wanted two options - Active Ride and Rear Axle Steering. The video...

Looking back at my comments #5 and #8 in July and August 2023, after taking delivery of our '23 Taycan GTS in April 2023, I saw the warning on the dash (ref: comments 5 & 8) and the car lowered, listed to the right and the suspension became very brittle. Knowing where I was driving and who was...

About 10 years ago, I mentioned to the GM at my dealership at the time that Porsche should build a two-door Panamera GT to compete with Aston Martin, Bentley (would VW allow it?), the then M-B S-Class Coupe (now you could say the AMG GT3), and BMW 6-series coupe. None of these would appeal to me...

@Tooney Thank you for the lead re: "Charging Planning". It turns out that the "Minimum charge at destination" was set for 80%, which I think would suggest that the travel planner would not send me to a charger any farther away than would result in a charge less than 80%. That would be quite...

I appreciate the comments on cold-weather charging. My wife and I moved from SoCal to upstate NY. I hadn't thought about preheating the battery and upon arrival at a charging station with the battery at about 24 degrees F, I was charging at about 9 kW. We're temporarily in a condo building...

Long Message Alert!! The avatar photo is our former '23 Taycan GTS. We now own a '25 GTS obtained through Porsche's Aug 2025 highly favorable "opportunity" to upgrade owners and increase sales. I spec'd the '23 with several options that were important to me. The '25 had to be in current...

I'll be interested to see others' replies on this. The only time I've seen numbers higher than the mid-30s is immediately after starting and driving off, even at low to moderate speeds, at which time I might see mid-40s+. We have moved and until we move into a home where I can charge, I've...

My adapter arrived yesterday, 10-27-2025. I ordered it the same day that I received the email notification (09-09-2025) and received an auto-reply the same day but nothing since then. A few minutes ago, I received an email with the following information with slightly more attractive...

My wife and I own a '23 Taycan GTS with rear axle steering and PDCC Sport. For the first year+ of ownership, our other car was a '21 911 Turbo S that was traded in on a '24 911 GT3. The 911s are amazing, but the Taycan GTS is so capable especially on good driving roads, so comfortable as a...

BTW. My GT3 (white, posted a short time ago), is also a 6-speed - my first since my 2005 Carrera S. Later 911s were PDK (although whenever my wife and I visited my her sister, I begged her to let me drive her 6-speed Subaru Forrester while there). The more I drive the GT3, the more I am...

This is probably the best combination of cars that my wife and I have had over many years of ownership - mostly Porsches but with Mercedes AMG a close runner up (last one in 2016, though): a 2023 Taycan GTS and a 2024 911 GT3. Remarkable how different these cars are in their own unique and...

I appreciate all the comments about the key battery. I have question related to this that I never got around to posting. The batteries in my keys on the Taycan, our current 911 and previous Porsches including a Cayenne e-hybrid have typically lasted about 18 to 24 months. Recently I saw the...

The above quote is from 2023. Like others, when wanting I.C.E.-style deceleration going into a corner at speed and a sportier suspension setting, I often switch from Normal to Sport or Sport+. I was surprised that the recuperation did not go back to “Off” when I switched back to Normal...

Regarding how I rebooted both the Taycan and 911 end-of-the-world error messages described in my message #5, above, all I did was turn the ignition off and restart the car. I restarted the car right away in both cases have not seen these or any other alarming error notices appear since this...

Congratulations on your decision to purchase a Taycan GTS. My wife and I took delivery four months ago and I have been more excited about this ownership experience than any of the Porsches (or other marques) that I have owned. As others have noted, the car shrinks around you, is blazingly...

A few years ago, I gave my dealership’s GM a paper suggesting that Porsche build a sporty, two-door Panamera GT to compete with similar cars in production at the time: Bentley GT, Aston Martin DB11/DBS, Mercedes S560 Coupe, BMW 6 series, and so on. Of course, VW group management might have...

I had a one-time occurrence while driving normally with our Taycan GTS approximately two months ago and just over one month after taking delivery. The car listed to one side and the suspension appeared to have ”locked up”, that is, there was no play in the suspension whatsoever - much more...

You currently own and are considering my three favorite brands of cars: Porsche (which I’ve owned since 1999), Audi, and BMW. My wife and I currently own a ‘21 911 Turbo S (992) and a ‘23 Taycan GTS (delivery on 4/5/23 at the L.A. PEC). Up until 2019, I had a number of AMG sedans and sports...

Hi Amelio, I assume that your wife wants puddle lights that project the Porsche logo (which is cool), but if that or standard puddle lights, I didn’t see any indication that either of these are listed as standard equipment both in a road test article and in the configurator standard equipment...
