  1. Part 3: The Quest for the Perfect Tune

    I'd also be interested in trying out the revised regen, as I opted to keep it OEM to begin with. I haven't had the box installed yet, but when I do, how do I go about to carry out the update? Do I receive an .exe file from you via email that I then download to the ASG via the ENET cable (in the...
  2. TOP THREE THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT OUR TAYCANS!

    I have a 2023 GTS ST. The top three things with this car: 1) Ride quality (high comfort even during very sporty driving) 2) Performance (quick response and acceleration, especially from a standstill) 3) Design (a feast for the eyes on a daily basis) Desired improvements: 1) Lower weight...
  3. Part 3: The Quest for the Perfect Tune

    How much regen did you add, and how would you describe the difference? (Myself I initially wanted +40%, then went down to +20% to not make too much of a change, and then wound up making no changes to regen as per Dmitri’s recommendation.) I also have the insulation glass, and my solution has...
  4. some people hold both taycan and 911 ?

    Last year I had a 2014 RS6 Avant (@690 PS) and a 2021 Cayman GTS 4.0 PDK (@470 PS), and decided to replace the RS6 with a Taycan GTS Sport Turismo (as my first electric car)–but to my surprise I found that the Taycan actually replaced the Cayman more than it replaced the RS6 (at least for me)...
  5. Part 3: The Quest for the Perfect Tune

    I just yesterday finalised my order for the MapEV tune after many weeks of trying to find someone with a portable PC with an Ethernet port (as I'm a Mac user and my MacBook Air doesn't have an EtherNet port) that could help me read the OBD port with the ENET cable and then upload the data to...
  6. GTS valuation guide

    I bought my GTS Sport Turismo 2023 as the second owner here in Sweden; it is pretty loaded and cost SEK 1,910K (~200K USD/~173K EUR/~148K GBP in current values) new, while I paid SEK 1,210K (~126K/~110K EUR/~94K GBP) for it last summer (i.e. 1.5 years old and with 22K km/~ 13,7K miles on it). I...
  7. Do I really need to pay $27/month to see my Taycan’s range on my phone?

    To me it's more about the principle, not the cost per se; I'm not paying an annual fee for using my car (besides insurance...) – I have bought it and I own it, but after three years the manufacturer wants me to pay them an annual fee for some basic functionality that I feel should have been...
  8. Part 3: The Quest for the Perfect Tune

    Interested, just sent you an email :-).
  9. '24 Taycan Turbo S to '23 911 Turbo S - first impressions

    Well, that's even better then :-). I loved my Cayman GTS 4.0 and would be hard pressed to choose between a GT4 RS and a GT3, but would probably go with the latter...
  10. '24 Taycan Turbo S to '23 911 Turbo S - first impressions

    Are you getting a Cayman GTS/GT4 instead? I just went the other way around — sold my 2021 Cayman GTS 4.0 PDK and bought a 2023 Taycan GTS Sport Turismo instead. Initially I replaced my other car, an RS6 Avant, but to my surprise I discovered that the Taycan actually replaced the Cayman more...
  11. S/W update 3882 broke my charging

    Glad to hear you seem to have it under control now. I agree, the 12V management appears to be not very well handled. I've had my car parked for several weeks in a row since November, but suddenly in early February, after having only having had the car parked for around a week since my last...
  12. S/W update 3882 broke my charging

    joej, some external wall chargers use their own timers as well; I have the same Porsche app settings as chun, albeit with slightly different times (25-80% at 22.00-06.00 throughout the week plus the general setting 0-25% at any time/day), but there is also an option to set a timer schedule...
  13. Farewell Taycan GTS, Hello GT3!

    I went (kind of) the other way — from a Cayman GTS 4.0 to a Taycan GTS Sport Turismo. The Cayman GTS was/is a great car, but I don't regret the switch for a second (also, I still have my old tuned RS6 Avant so that I can enjoy a roaring V8 occasionally :–).
  14. To re-badge or de-badge... Redshift upgrade

    When ordering a new car (my latest was a Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0), I always go with the model name delete factory option, and when buying a used car (my latest was a Porsche Taycan GTS), having the model name removed is the first thing I do (the brand badge itself is of course never removed)...
  15. The (expected) ARB7 recall letter comes (my THIRD open recall...)

    I received a letter from Porsche Sweden last week, dated December 6th, with the following text regarding service action WRS0 (scanned and OCR'ed on iPhone and then google translated from Swedish to English): I had ARB7 carried out in August and were then told that there were no other...
  16. A bit of jerking when taking a deep turn

    Change "NE Scotland" to "Stockholm" and I could have written this post :-). No churning at all in the summer, but now in the winter time the front tyres churn real bad with every deep turn of the steering wheel on my 2023 GTS ST... I've never had this on any other car though (neither on my...
  17. 22 Taycan GTS Tire choice

    This is my take on the tyre question as well -- I currently have the Goodyear Eagle Performance F1 Asymmetric 3 Ultra High Performance (phew! :–) tyre on my 2023 GTS Sport Turismo (came standard), but I will change to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (or 5S, if/when they are released) when the time...
  18. There is moisture in the headlight

    Yeah, I was quite surprised over how nimble and precise the heavy Taycan actually felt — it's only during higher speeds in the bends and when breaking that I clearly feel the difference against the Cayman (despite plus ~900 kg!), otherwise the handling characteristics feels very similar to me...
  19. There is moisture in the headlight

    Cool that you also went from a Cayman to a Taycan, I don't think that's very common — myself I had a 2021 Cayman GTS 4.0 PDK, and now I have a 2023 Taycan GTS Sport Turismo instead (initially I actually intended for it to replace my 2014 RS6 Avant, but I quickly found that for me it rather...
  20. New Taycan GTS and Taycan 4 Announced

    Yeah, it's quite expensive new — the base price for the 2025 GTS ST in Sweden is appr. USD 157K, but with all the "necessary" factory options it's USD 190K... I think two or three years on that spec. will do wonders for the price (for the second owner, that is :–).
