    Summer Performance or All Season?

    F1 Eagle Summers? Gross. Shoulda put on Pilot Sport 4s. My Pilot Sport 4 summers get 260-280 miles of 70-85 mph Hwy driving. There is no reason to believe that switching from equal quality Summers to AS increases range. Also they have excellent traction in the sub 50 degree wet driving I've...

    Summer Performance or All Season?

    You're going to lose a lot of performance using all season tires, it's night & day. If you speccd every single performance option on a Taycan it'd make less difference than using quality summer tires over all seasons.

    Build Back Better -- EV Tax Credit

    Unfortunately your idea just doesn't work. The IRS isn't going to track down your emails to a dealership to an automaker etc.. to confirm when you ordered the car. All of that can be easily faked. If you buy a car during the period covered by the new tax rules, they will be applied. I agree...

    ? World Premiere: 2022 Taycan GTS Sedan and GTS Sport Turismo

    The GTS models will NOT have more range. It is the SAME battery pack, SAME motors, SAME battery software. It is simply an updated number based on WTLP testing a new model that more accurately represents what was already true. There are many reasons to buy a GTS but you are NOT getting better...

    Is the Taycan really exceeding EPA rating?

    To clarify an important misunderstanding. Max range is the distance you can travel at one time, ie.. with no or minor stops. This is always going to be higher than cumulative range, ie.. driving to work and back 5 times a week. The process of starting the car after it has been sitting for a...

    2020 Taycan 4S vs 2021 Ford Mach-e GT

    My notes from an hour with a Mach E GT today. I personally found the infotainment much worse. Leggy and awkward to use. Hate the climate controls compared to my Taycan. Funny how people have different views. Hated the dash. I was impressed with the overall interior, the materials and...

    How I fixed the door rattles

    Interestingly I test drove a brand new Mach E GT today and it was full of bumps & groans & rattles & such. Got back into my Taycan and it's still a bank vault. I'm not doubting your experience but every car has forums full of people talking about rattles, it's a byproduct of mass production. It...

    Rivian R1T early review

    Oh that actually helps a lot! Yeah, it's rough over there. Certainly starting to sway me into just waiting for the electric Macan, but the offroad aspect appeals to me to an extent.

    Rivian R1T early review

    So I am planning on getting an R1S but oh boy, if you guys think this forum is a bunch of fanboys go check that out. Beyond Tesla level. I probably have to stop even looking at that forum because it's a huge turnoff to the brand.

    Cabin noise difference between 20 inch and 21 inch wheels

    Winter vs Summer tires slightly increase the noise, but I didn't notice any significant difference between test driving 21s and my 20s. If you get the Insulated Glass I don't think you'll notice a difference even from summers to winters, one option I wish I had gotten. Car is still super quiet...

    Poll: Overrun Recup Settings

    I never use it. I really like the normal pedal/brake setup on the Taycan. For me either it's FULL one pedal driving, which the Taycan doesn't offer, or FULL normal setup. I'm not a big fan of the in between stuff. And one thing the Taycan doesn't get enough credit for is how exceptional the...

    Winter daily?

    Sorry, I always go on a rant in winter tire threads just because of accidents I've seen that could have been prevented. That is a tough one on the 21s and I'm not sure what to do about that. What I can tell you is that with 20" winter tires on the car is just superb in the snow. I go to...

    Winter daily?

    I cannot stress enough how important winter tires are. It's potentially life and death if you ever drive in snowy/icy conditions. All season tires = no season tires. They are a lot like wearing a seat belt.. completely unnecessary until they literally save your life. Winter tires these days...

    2021 Taycan Review Motortrend

    The Taycan is one of the most efficient EVs based on real world testing, so the article is complete bs. The iPace & eTron are both MUCH MUCH less efficient. Teslas are about the same as the Taycan, but some have a larger battery. Cars with battery packs below 70 kWh are useless for any ranged...

    Infrastructure Bill passed. I don’t think this is good.

    I am curious to see how this is implemented, should the changes pass. Will it be purchase price or determined by model MSRP? I was made aware that many of (all?) the states with additional incentives base it on model MSRP and not final sale price. Ie.. there is a list of models that qualify...

    Anyone considering move to Lucid Air?

    You're concerned about the Taycan's software "issues" and you're thinking of buying the first car from a brand new company instead? Mmkay, good luck. The following for Lucid & Rivian have incredibly unrealistic expectations for those two cars. Expect both to have some real growing pains, in...

    The appearance of your car is going to be just beautiful. Love the exterior/interior color/trim choices. You crushed it. ?

    Transitioning from Taycan to Etron GT

    KICK HIM OUT!!! TRAITOR!!!! ;) Have fun! I'd love to hear more about the comparison. I'm also searching for a new car. Love love love my Taycan but, well, I have a short attention span. Plue I also kind of agree with your point.. I'd rather have a NA Cayman and an electric base Macan than a...

    Porsche indicates warranty concerns if 3rd party charger used

    This is hysterical, chalk it up to the stupid shit dealerships say. You're fine, use whatever charger you want. Your warranty is solid.

    Taycan Cross Turismo v. Macan EV

    The EV Macan is now slated for mid to late 2023, FWIW. Probably no official announcement until this upcoming summer. I'll likely be moving from my Taycan to either that or an R1S and I think the Macan will be exceptionally compelling if they keep it around the current price.. but it's a ways...
