    Brake-hold observation

    I'm noticing you really have to stab and press fairly hard on the brake pedal to activate brake-hold, anyone else experience this? I have a Honda HRV and once at a stop, you just push gently and it activates....seems like we really need to drop some significant pressure on the Taycan, about...

    Ceramic coatings / sealant, do details guys not like this produce because it takes their every-3-month work away from them?

    I've known a detailing guy for about 25 years and he swears on just using wax and wants to do it every 3 months. He says he's used the ceramic stuff and it's just gimmick and not worth it. He also wants $350 for his 2-hours of work (him and a helper). My hunch is that he knocks the ceramic...

    GTS 2023 or Turbo S 2021?!

    So wait a minute So wait a minute... if I turn regen on, it comes on when I lift off thre accelerator but only just a bit. Are you saying putting it into 'auto' brings the regen on stronger than a modest amount to the point that we almost don't need the brake? I'm still about 2 weeks into this...

    GTS 2023 or Turbo S 2021?!

    I'm inclined to categorically agree with you. Again, a dragster does 0-60 in 0.4 seconds which is about 650% faster than our cars but it's all relative. We're in street cars with luxury amenities, the comparison is moot. The Tesla Plaid is actually a bit faster in a straight line, it does 0-60...

    How did your friends react to the car ... ?

    Wow, I've got a LOT to say on this......hopefully insightful, humorous and entertaining First-off, the moment you start caring about what anyone else may think or feel, you've lost. That said, it's very easy to say "Don't care about what others feel" but entirely something else to implement it...

    GTS 2023 or Turbo S 2021?!

    Glad my input resonated with you. With Ferrari's, they offered a Challenge Stradale version of certain models and these were cars that were really for the track.....they had a very rigid suspension, crazy loud exhaust, lots of carbon fiber, lightweight seats, somewhat gutted interior and it was...

    GTS 2023 or Turbo S 2021?!

    This is so funny, the parallels are crazy! About 3 weeks ago I pulled the trigger on a 2021 Turbo S (with just 840 miles in flawless condition from the dealer). Another dealer tried to lure me into a new soon-arriving GTS and assured me it was the 'sweet spot' with GTS specific features, etc...

    At this point I have driven a Macan more than my Taycan

    Come on guy, let's admit that owning/driving a Taycan keeps you limber.....ain't nothing fun about that B-pillar and negotiating your way into the seat. Two words for ya: worth it!

    SoCal Taycan club interest?

    Hey guys, Anyone interested in doing a drive to a destination or doing a meet-up or something? I'm in the San Fernando Valley and I can think of a few fun drives to go on. If you're in SoCal let's see about getting a group together, anyone interested? No membership, no cost, no gimmicks or...

    Jet Metallic Black PPF finish

    Anyone got a ballpark cost on PPF? What about a ceramic sealant?

    So apparently, always charging to 100% is OK (?)

    Terrible analogy but these batteries are a bit like a propane tank.....you never fill it completely and have to leave some room for good measure. I've chatted with battery guru's and they'll all tell you different things. Some say these batteries won't benefit from going 80-85% full and others...

    Can I get an opinion on a project EV

    Okay, admittedly this is more of what i wanted to hear. I understand the idea of keeping things original but I absolutely will keep the looks entirely original but upgrade the test. Leaving the appallingly unreliable engine, oil dripping. Poor gas mileage and marginally safe brakes and overall...

    Can I get an opinion on a project EV

    Hey guys, I realize this is off-topic and the thread may be moved but I'd like to solicit the opinions of fellow Taycan owners. I'll try to keep it brief. I have an old 1937 Plymouth pick-up truck and while it's fairly rare it's not considered a classic but instead an antique, it's perhaps...

    Taycan Electric Sport Sound, does it really affect range?

    Thank you, good info to know! Yeah, is it just me or do setting you set also disappear between drives? Agreed but bass, provided by a subwoofer, definitely uses considerably more juice then typical speakers, it's literally enough energy to move a fairly heavy speaker but still, negligible...

    Taycan Electric Sport Sound, does it really affect range?

    Good G-d man, you're talking about over 3,840 1/16th inches! That's some significant range reduction! : )

    Taycan Electric Sport Sound, does it really affect range?

    Hey now, a 23 year-old scrawny nerdy kid with as little muscle mass as he has body-fat along with powerful computer skills is a formidable resource! He worked at a major Porsche dealership, at the front and wore the black shirt, granted it was likely a size small. Btw, what the hell is with...

    Taycan Electric Sport Sound, does it really affect range?

    Funny video....but yeah, the tech expert insisted that sound emulator would reduce range. I think he was confused or got bad info. It's just a few watts going into a speaker; marginal difference at best, agreed!
