Initially I didn't tick off the Sport Chrono Package since my thinking was that my 4S was not going to be a track day car but a grand tourer. However, I'm glad my sales representative talked me into adding it, since I cannot imaging having to go through the computer screens in order to quickly...

Right, just found this: https://newsroom.porsche.com/dam/jcr:93483663-c12b-43ca-98f5-b1b8b845e321/PAG_Taycan_Technology_PM_EN.pdf.PDF Quote: "All the systems available on the powertrain are controlled by the Porsche powertrain controller. This is where all the information is collected and the...

Thanks for your reply. I'm not too worried about discs overheating. The issue I'm trying to describe is going steep downhill, where the car invariably will "slip & slide" some, and braking actually will make it worse - so some "intelligent" brake/traction program will help greatly. This...

Hi all, just wondered if anyone've read/heard anything about how the Taycan tackles hills and winter conditions. I've seen plenty of videos of the winter testing done in Finland etc, - but can find nothing on any programs targeted towards hill descent and similar. In my BMW touring there's a...

Just for fun I decided to get a USB-C to Lightning cable and try out CarPlay tonight. Seemed to work fine, a few glitches here and there (Tidal song would play, then after parking would not start next song. Apple Music would just enter continuous loop trying to download "something"). Having...

Oh well - there goes that theory :)

Just a quick hi from me as well. Stumbled over this forum through a link to Don's road trip story (great reading - he should do more). Recently got my 4S Performance after being a BMW driver (3, 5 and 7 series) for many years. Second car I've bought brand new since cars are bl##dy expensive...

Just had a thought; do you have Apple CarPlay activated with you iPhone? That may be why the assistant button defaults to Siri, and not the Taycan assistant. I haven't activated CarPlay as of yet. (I'm old school - bluetooth is advanced enough for me)

Always been an Android phone user since the smartphone generation began. The Sony Xperia died conveniently as I was waiting for the Taycan to be produced, and since I'm not religious in any way I decided to try an iPhone on a hunch that maybe the "premium" Zuffenhausen product would prefer a...

I get the Porsche lady when pressing the button. Got my iPhone connected, but truth be told I don't use Siri on my phone (work regulations), so that may be why.

I'm able to input destinations in my 4S by voice. Should work fine. I've also had to turn off the voice activation due to multiple interruptions from the overeager assistant. But even with it off the car still randomly dials contacts on my iPhone. Quite annoying.

Picked it up Tuesday - got 600 km clocked by today (been raining each and every day since). Color is even better live than any picture can show.

I guess "essentials" are a bit dependent on your location. Up here close to the north pole, winter tires and rubber floor mats are pretty essential the coming months. That is, if you intend to expose your Taycan to the winter gods :) I do, - nothing quite as fun and exhilarating as driving a...
