    Supply Chain Impact on Production

    Dealer called me a few weeks back telling me delivery will be delayed by 3+ weeks. Now, car arrived at the dealership today, so sooner than the new delivery date ;-) Quite happy!

    Rear Axle Steering

    It depends where and how you drive. Maneuvering is very different (= better) with RAS. So is high speed (>120 mph). In all other situation, the Power Steering option gives you a similar feel. If you should order depends where you live/ drive–cities, winding roads and high speed: yes; slow...

    Which extras you wouldn't order again

    21" wheel – reduce range quite a bit PDCC – awesome, but only make a difference in really fast corners and is expensive

    Taycan Turbo S is 5x faster than Tesla Model S P100D – latest track test

    No, we ex-Tesla drivers know that the car doesn't perform as tweeted. You can test yourself if you have one. On the Autobahn, a Tesla in Lud mode is done in a few mins.

    Fully Spec'd 4S or Base Turbo?

    Taycan's are basically all the same – except power train. i.e., Turbo has extras that you all can option on a 4S, except the extra torque and hp. So the question is, can you actually use the ridiculous power of a Turbo in your county?

    Sports Chrono or Rear Axle Steering?

    RAS can be somewhat replaced with the Steering Plus option. Sport Chrono is a must on Porsches as it gives you the drive modes with selector on the steering wheel. In fact, I test drove a 4S which had the Steering Plus and not RAS and I thought it would have RAS from driving. Was surprised when...

    Battery capacity dropped/reduced Update!

    I think it might be a charge calibration issue–which I had with laptop computers and smart phones. For those, a procedure to re-calibration is known. Please keep us posted!

    Have any of you had a problem-free Taycan experience?

    Zero probs so far, but only 10+ days of test drives w/ different models. My very own will be delivered in April.

    Taycan 4S vs. Turbo: Wham

    Also tested Turbo, S and 4S–same results my bottom line is, the Turbo is best price for value. Significantly faster & more push than the 4S, while no difference outside launch control compared to the Turbo S. note: the overboost power is only available for 2.5s during launch control start...

    to the limit

    The range given by the car should always be the best estimate possible. Might depend on country, but here Google's usually quite wrong.

    4S Range is never more than 170 miles on a full charge.

    Mmh...had winter here in Germany, too. Got always like > 200 miles.

    Weight: standard vs PCCB brakes

    The PCCB doesn't make a huge difference on the Porsche sports cars, unless you fit performance/ track tyres. With the – super heave & recuperating Taycan – even less so. The important difference is that they don't rust. Just like the PSCB…

    Tesla admits FSD is a pipe dream

    Well, as a Porsche driver definitely don't want FSD… Also don't want a machine that sleeps with my wife. Maybe oldschool.

    How would you spec differently next time?

    Yes, definitely. But only in corners ;-)

    Weight: standard vs PCCB brakes

    The PCCB is approx 5kg/ disc, saves ~4 x 5 kgs compared to the PSCB However, as of model year 2021, the calipers are heavier than the now 6 piston ones of the PSCB Frankly, the PCCB doesn't make sense on an EV as recup kicks in anyways and the PSCB is massive. Avoiding dust is prob the biggest...
