Gloss black will dress up white. Bright silver will look cheaper. Like the choice of a standard color - spend the money saved having it glass (ceramic) coated.

And now you know why I use the shutdown procedure described previously.

Play or stream a Brown Noise track. It is much safer than a tone generator and will reveal vibrations without damaging mid-range or tweeter speakers. Ask me how I know! ?

Yes. The key is “the HOLD function is active”.

Ran a test on our 7-8% slope dry concrete driveway after reading these driving issues. First, is the parking brake (P) an emergency brake? Placed the Taycan in Neutral and let it start rolling backwards - pressed P and it stopped almost immediately. Clearly worked as a brake. Temperature was...

I have learned to especially like no regen on uphill freeway (motorway) exits. And the car is more comfortable for passengers when it simply coasts when you take your foot off the accelerator.

Part of the”problem” with the PMCC is ground-fault protection is already built in, but may be more sensitive than others. The OPEN device may be duplicating the PMCC fault protection, but I am not familiar with the PMCC UK version.

However, a single-speed smaller motor in the rear would be cheaper, lighter, and longer range. Edit: And handle like a Porsche.

Sad but true!

Cannot speak for other brands, but it would be amazing if they did not offer the ability to choose NEMA 6-50 or 14-50 input cables (if they support a home charger). Any new US EV can use the Porsche charger.

Keep the 6-50 cable and have a 6-50 receptacle installed in your garage. You lessen the chance of heat or ground-fault problems compared to a 14-50 installation.

Thes S designation with the two-speed transmission leaves room for a single-speed lower cost model (FWD range king?).

Not going to happen with any well-designed jump battery booster. The jump battery would be protected from both reverse or higher voltage connections.

Warm air comes out of the right-front wheel well when our Taycan TS is pre-heating. It would be fog if the garage were colder.

Had a different strategy - paid cash so the family would be more inclined to keep it if I died unexpectedly. They would sell it in a heartbeat if it had $3,000 car payments. ?

Edit to replace the joys of using a phone with clumsy fingers: If you divide the kWh used to charge (use the Taycan display) by the difference between STOP %SOC and START %SOC, you calculate a fairly accurate usable battery capacity.

Are you suggesting the REAL Sport+ be allocated to the Individual mode with Regen turned off? Makes sense from your description if you track the Taycan.

Porsche calls it tire scrub. Caused by steering geometry optimized for performance, not slow-speed turns (especially on slippery or sandy surfaces).

This is not rocket science but does use some fairly simple math: kWh Charge / ((Stop % SOC) - (Start % SOC)) = Usable Battery kWh e.g. Start % SOC = 10% Stop % SOC = 100% ∆ % SOC = 90% kWh Charge = 81.0 (use Taycan display) 81/(100%-10%) = 90.0 kWh Usable = 90.0 These are...

Partial load is more than the driver. No load is the driver only. Full load is maximum gross vehicle weight. Partial load is somewhere between the driver and max. gross. I use 40 psi for all four wheels (Turbo S with 21” wheels) - a close intersection to partial load.
