  1. Born to Run... Can I do it?

    And after 6 years where pads are replaced because they get too old. But we aren't there yet.
  2. About to order. Too Many options, looking for advice

    The rear cam is even worse. But with surround cam only, you have a rim view which is very nice for exact parking. That view seems to be not available with remote park assist.
  3. About to order. Too Many options, looking for advice

    The electric (and hopefully automatic) adjustment is part of the 14 or 18 way seats (not sure if this is new). Automatic folding mirrors are standard now but the functionality can be disabled in PCM. I have seen some reports that the surround camera is quite bad as soon as you spec the remote...
  4. CT4 or ST

    Just compare the ST4S with the CT4S. The ST4S with the big battery is a tad costlier than the CT4S (in Germany at least) So the added cost in the base model is probably just that you get one more motor for 4WD. I think in J1 the panoramic roof was standard in the CT but that is no longer the...
  5. My 2025 Taycan Turbo GT has landed - First Look

    You can order a GT steering wheel on the Turbos as well now. ?
  6. Key fob battery routine replacement?!

    It was actually quoted to a guy on the German forum for 7 € for the battery and 50 € for the work + 19% VAT. Maybe it was done with one of your services - another good way to make 12345 €/h. Another person mentioned that it might take some time for the message to disappear after a change.
  7. About to order. Too Many options, looking for advice

    For the 2+1 seats: And the standard back seats: So no difference there compared to Germany, if you want to put some ski, bows or fishing rods through, get the 2+1.
  8. About to order. Too Many options, looking for advice

    2+1 seats give the ability to fold down the middle piece alone to fit through long stuff. That's the main reason I chose it. Not sure if that's different for US spec. I personally find ACC to be very good for long rides when you're stuck in traffic, makes it much more relaxed than having to...
  9. 1000 miles driven on 2025 4S CT -- Comparing to my 2022 4 CT

    I like the styling because of the arrow like shape pointing forward on the new model.
  10. Not great news for VW/Porsche...

    They are actually down by 35 %
  11. Not great news for VW/Porsche...

    The new way to make profit in Germany on service is to demount the - no idea what they are called in English - parts where the water is supposed to flow from top to bottom through the car to inspect them thoroughly. Instead of just trying if there is a blockage and then start working on it...
  12. Road trip to Stuttgart

    If you want to experience probably the only unrestricted hill climb Autobahn, drive the A8 to Munich from Stuttgart. It's roughly 35 minutes one way. But you have to hit low traffic, everyone is scared and only drives 80 up the hill ? It's my favourite piece of Autobahn. I don't know really if...
  13. Night view camera glass replacement

    You need a cover for 8 to 14 microns (LWIR) and you need to block out the other frequencies as the camera is based on microbolometers which are sensitive to basically the whole frequency spectrum. I'm not sure you can get an acrylic sheet which covers these requirements. And with the new...
  14. RWD 2025 PBP with launch control - 4.0sec

    The 4CT also has no difference in power between no LC and LC.
  15. Taycan Turbo S Refresh (J1.2) Track experience day on Spa Francorchamps

    If anyone gets the chance ask if active ride changed the geometry for the wheels, I'm especially curious about camber. I'm wondering if active ride is capable of reducing the static camber needed for cornering with such a heavy car. I don't really think it is, but then I'm not a suspension engineer.
  16. Night view camera glass replacement

    You cannot put an infrared camera behind normal glass because it is not transparent in the far infrared spectrum needed for the night vision used by the Taycan. Radar behind glass is possible but not optimal because you get near field reflections. It's easier to put it behind plastic which is...
  17. Night view camera glass replacement

    You can't put it behind the wind shield and cars with LIDAR humps above the wind screen are usually not very well received for their design - so that's probably a no go for a brand which focuses so much on brand recognition with their design. Aerodynamics also suffer probably.
  18. Check Your Tires!

    Has someone done a comparison between NF0 and non NF0 specced tires? I would assume that the high camber is known during the development of the tires and thus could work out to using a harder compound on the inner shoulder of the tire compared to normal tires. I'm also quite curious now if the...
  19. Porsche Ranks First in 2024 US Initial Auto Quality - J.D. Power Study

    My insurance quote for the 4CT is not much higher than my Honda Civic Type R (+20 %). Will be interesting how it evolves.
  20. Second-hand Market in cardiac arrest ?

    I tried selling my Ioniq 5 via a German website and they told me, there is not enough interest and they can't buy it. Their slogan is pretty much: we buy any car for a reasonable price. Carwow offer was horrendous as well. Sold it after 3 months to a private buyer. People don't understand...
