fwiw, there are ways to use magnets or even some sort of cling wrap material to temporarily slap them on, then take them off when you don't need them. I looked into this option for the Model S as well, but again, for me, it wasn't worth the effort. Google around for it if you're interested...

I also never put the stickers on my Model S. I made the calculation that the number of times I would need to: 1. Drive on a trafficky freeway 2. Said freeway has a carpool lane 3. I'm driving by myself would be rare enough that it wouldn't be worth the eyesore of the stickers. In my 3 years...

Got the recall notice on My Porsche on my 2021 RWD as well.

Yes, my wheel is fully extended. I wish it could extend out further. That being said, I have a manually adjustable steering wheel, not the electric one. Not sure if the electric one has additional range.

The sunset shot with the body lines is gorgeous, well done.

I'm the same way, and I spent a bunch of time in the first couple of weeks changing my seat position and steering wheel position nonstop to try and find something that was comfortable. I'm not a particularly unusual height, 6', but I prefer the steering wheel at a height where I can put my hands...

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I actually have test driven the Model 3 before, back when my 2018 Model S lease was ending and I was trying to decide whether I would stick with my refreshed Model S LR order or go with the Taycan. The Model 3 was a longshot that I was pretty sure would not have the...

Thanks for the feedback. Did you rent from Turo? I wonder if it will be possible to test drive the LR soon. Having a Taycan now, and only one month out from driving my 2018 Model S, I'd be real curious to compare the driving experience between the 3 cars "back to back". With the reports of Plaid...

I have a couple gripes, none of which are huge deals per se: - The fact that some submenus themselves have hard to discover submenus (the 3 dot menu in bottom right), and it's not clear why some settings are in the 3 dot menu vs. not. - The lack of customization of the instrument cluster. I...

First off, make sure the screen is facing out from the console wall. Secondly, I've found the sensitivity to be finicky. Try adjusting it a couple times, taking it out and reseating it, etc. Also note that it can take a few seconds to register the phone and actually show the message on the...

I wonder how much impact Range mode has on a RWD, since supposedly the way Range mode works on the dual motor variants is by primarily using the front motor, which of course the RWD doesn't even have.

Does preconditioning warm up the battery much more than driving for an hour or two when it's 75+ degrees outside? Just curious if I should prioritize inputting destination in PCM when on a road trip or just use Carplay nav.

Is this the one that is theorized to be some sort of air pump? Does it sound like a clock ticking?

I see the same on my Charging NA app, only station 10 seems to be usable from the app. Interestingly, the Taycan in the pic above is charging on station 8. Maybe using Plug and Charge, which doesn't require use of an app to start the session?

Another strange design decision that doesn't appear to be configurable. This one caught me already too, where I was in a traffic jam with ACC on and wondered why the car wasn't moving once traffic picked up again. It's documented in GTK app that if stopped for more than 15 seconds, it will...

@DerekS I noticed the same issue with ALK. In my single test so far, I did my usual "long distance driving hand position" of single hand on the lower part of the wheel, elbow resting on the center console. I was on a straight stretch of road, in mild traffic, so I was holding the wheel with...

Curious, do most people drive with their head on the headrest? I've never done this, but I've also never owned a car where I could extend the headrest out to meet the head. That being said, if I had built my own spec instead of buying an inventory model, I most likely would have gone for the...

No, the assisting feature you're referring to is Lane Keep Assist (LKA) which is the thing that will correct your steering if you are drifting out of the lane lines. Active Lane Keep (ALK) actively steers for you to try and keep you centered in the lane, including following the curves of the...

Nice writeup. As a RWD owner with all the same specs as your loaner, I found your comparisons interesting and illuminating. This is interesting, as I've tested ACC a few times now and definitely have not gotten the sense that it is brake checking people behind me. Both the rate of acceleration...

Good point. Do we get unlimited data streaming in the Taycan? I never bothered to look it up since I figured I'd just use Carplay for anything data related, but you bring up an interesting alternative which would save my mobile data usage.
