Thanks Chun for taking the time to answer. Sad to hear it seems the dealer exaggerated the software update time, and that they also would normally charge for a software update which you believe is actually covered by Porsche; I'll have to raise this with them. The reason I would like to have...

I'm having an issue with the Bluetooth connection between my iPhone 14 Pro (running iOS 18.7.1) and the Taycan PCM (I'm not using Apple CarPlay as I prefer to use just the simple Bluetooth connection to play the music library on my iPhone). Before I did the battery software update at the dealer...

Yeah, lots of people seem to have problems with pronouncing the South Korean brand: It's "Hee-on-die", as opposed to "Honn-dah" :-).

Thanks prj for always responding so fast and knowledgeable! Ok, so an open question then to all others here who also has the tune and decided to modify the level 1 regen value: What value did you go with, and how do you feel this has improved the driving experience in your case?

Has any of your customers had a tune with level 1 regen increased by 20 or 30 or 40 % yet, and if so what feedback have you received from them? (I'm still on the fence about doing this myself :–).

Yeah, I'm not too fond of coasting either, feels a bit unnatural to me... However, if I understand you correctly, is your take on this that you currently only offer modification to the level 1 value (keeping level 0 intact as OFF)? If so, then what is the new level 1 regen value that you...

Ah, that's interesting! So it would be possible then to set level 0 (OFF/coasting) to let's say the current level 1 regen value (or perhaps even slightly less), and then increase level 1 (ON/current regen) to a higher value that more mimics the behaviour of high-rev engine braking on an ICE car...

Wow, the visceral experience when driving these two cars is so different that it's actually hard to compare. The RS6 acceleration *feels* quicker and more brutal (less weight, more torque and a lot more sound :–), although in reality the Taycan probably out-accelerates it every single time...

The reason I chose to not apply the power increase in Normal mode is because I thought (and still think) it's nice to be able to shift between original and tuned setting—if my wife (or anyone else) should drive the car, it'll then behave like a regular Taycan as long as they don't go into either...

(I know there already are several threads about winter wheels for the Taycan, but rather than hijack someone else's thread I figured I'd rather create my own) I have a black GTS Sport Turismo with the 21" RS Spyder rims on my summer wheels, and have now decided to get a set of 20" rims for...

Ok, so now I've had the MAP EV tune in my 2023 GTS Sport Turismo (800 PS / 910 NM) for a short while. I haven't been able to track the car as fall has arrived and there are no more scheduled track events, but in the spring I will take it to the track and really push it. Nor have I been able to...

Here is a thorough and interesting comparison between a Taycan GTS and an Ioniq 5 N from a guy who owns both:

Could it be that steel springs *historically* has offered better driving dynamics than air suspension, while on the Taycan the air suspension has been developed and refined to a point where it supersedes the steel springs? When I ordered my Audi RS6 Avant 2014 (I still have it! :–), I opted for...

Ok, that's still pretty low compared to AWD ICE transmission losses :–). You wrote above that the output from the engines on the J1.2 4S is 940 PS, and as it was measured to be 900 PS at the wheels on the dyno, the transmission loss is only ~4.3%. Do you know of any technical reasons for it to...

Thanks. Just out of curiosity, what would you expect the output at the wheels to be then (on the J1.1. GTS), i.e. what is a likely estimate of drive train loss for these AWD cars?

Quick question: Is the figure 800 PS for the J1.1 GTS the actual output from the combined engines, or is it the output measured at the wheels (like the J1.2 4S above; hopefully this :–)? If the latter, what is the actual engines output; if the former, what is the estimated output at the wheels?

Would there be any potential downside to upgrading a GTS MY2023 from PCM 3385 to 4578, if one could get one's local PC to do this? I.e. might it in some cases become slower due to the newer software expecting different (faster) hardware, even though the architecture is the same and thus...

Again, would the following configuration be possible: 1) In Normal mode (for leisure driving like running local errands), one would have regen OFF by default, but if one turns it ON, it would then be +4.0x of the original regen value ("OPD mimicking") 2) In Sport mode (for more inspired...

Dmitri, when we discussed regen modification earlier, we talked about an increase of 30-40% (+0.3-0.4x), but if I understand correctly, you have now come to the conclusion that 400% (+4.0x) feels fine—can you elaborate a bit on the perceived difference between an increase of +0.4x (slightly more...

Great, that sounds easy enough for me (once I get around to have the ASG installed :–).
