OK, so it is a mass damper. That’s what I thought, because it reminded me of the similar parts on Nismo cars with the same names which look like suspension dampers installed across the body instead of in the struts. It’s probably there to quiet down the vibration amplification effect of the...

Thanks for this interesting post. Nice! I recall reading that it is now possible to see up to 6 other detected vehicles (if ACC and ALK spec’ed and active probably) in the display, but I haven’t seen a picture of this. ??? When the data connection is up (subscription required?), route...

Although it looks suspiciously like two sticks of TNT, maybe it’s a vibration damper (dampener?) to keep the lid from acting like a drum?

Breakover angle is listed in the “technical specs” for the model listings on the Porsche website or also in the configurator. once you have ”technical specs”, it’s under “Terrain Features”.

So how does one know that JimBob didn’t charge their Taycan to 100% all the time and let it sit? Many people have complained that the non-intuitive software makes this all too easy, but what if an owner let this happen all the time. How can a prospective buyer detect this or the battery...

I tried this on Turbo and Turbo S sedans within 500+ radius (California essentially) and all Turbos are the same, all Turbo S the same. The price and color was all the same so I double checked a few VINs and they are indeed different in the different listings. Turbo’s are all chalk, TS’s all...

I know of a Jan placed order that delivers in US in June.

Still available option with no warnings on US configurator.

I'm now tired of all this hating, bellyaching and whining about the J1.II model. Any attempt to discuss any aspect of the refresh cars is always derailed by this bullying behavior, similar to the depreciation stuff, and repulsively like the bad behavior on rennlist from which this forum used to...

Interesting how people’s imagination runs away with their personal biases. No I don’t believe that dealers have forgone PAR because they have some insider knowledge that PAR is a useless feature and waste of money. Certainly that has never been an impediment in the car business before. I’ve...

If you want to pay $13 you can get a dump from vinanalytics.com using the VIN in the listing.

Well, that second video was interesting. Maintenance switch? Hmm… Rewrite the data to the chip on the back of the board? What chip was that? And where did they get they get the data to be written? From another Taycan? Wow, there’s just so much about these cars that remains hidden since...

Black on black with black wheels and black plastic? With a white car in the background? Wow, this dealership sure knows how to generate window shopping excitement.

Thanks for the heads up. Yes, I must have gone to audi.com and the configurator there was very bare. I tried audiusa.com and saw the packages you mentioned. To my eye, the packages on the e-tron options including prestige were nice choices, not so nice on the RS because they forced getting...

The entry lift is only a feature of Porsche Active Ride, only available as an option on the refresh Taycan and e-tron from 2025 onward. There can be no back porting of this feature to a 2021.

I'll take a stab at this even though I haven't owned a car with torque vectoring, others can maybe chime in and modify with better information. Obviously it's tied into the nannies so for example if you lose control of a slide and the car starts to oversteer drastically it will attempt to keep...

I didn’t learn much at all from this video. When was this made? Wierd that everything is so secret now that the Taycan refresh is out. The main thing that was interesting was that there was the draping over the instrument clusters to keep them secret. Although it seems unlikely that Taycan...

Wow, hope they got the battery sealant leak deal checked before wading in.

I thought Taycan sales were down because they stopped giving allocations pending the refresh, so of course noone was buying Taycan because noone could buy a Taycan.

I’m pretty unfamiliar with the stock sport sounds, but does this seem like the Porsche sport sound with a little more growl in the bass, with an addition of a high pitched “ghost flying around the room” sound? I recall not liking ANY of the 15 (?) sounds that were available, but I think this...
