In MA, I've paid excise tax on leased Audis, BMWs, Porsches, etc. The only manufacturer that I've dealt with that rolls excise tax into monthly payment is Ford. Sales tax is always rolled in.
For sale, set of four squared 20x9.5" +28 aftermarket rims with 285/35/R20 Bridgestone Potenza RE-71RS 200 tread wear tires. Tires have 4/32 tread left, dated '22. Rim offset is pretty aggressive. TPMS and center caps included. I've used this setup for many track days and thousands of miles of...
Are the Tesla Supercharger stations in the Tesla app for charge your other EVs? Did you select the charger number? Payment info configured in Tesla? Could be the adapter as well. I've successfully charged my Taycan at Tesla Superchargers in MA and NY with a Ford CCS <> NACS adapter. I had an...
For Taycan, I believe standard shank length is 34mm. So for 10-12mm spacer, get 44-46mm shank length. Make sure at least 10 full turns of the bolt for safety. Also make sure bolts are ball seat for OEM wheels. I've tried 3mm, 5mm, 7mm, 12mm, 20mm spacers with different rims and offsets. I...
Combination of tire compound/treadwear change and square setup helped with understeer a lot. This season, I tried square 20x9.5 rims and 20x9.5 front, 20x10.5 rear. Next season, I'll try square 20x10. Being able to rotate tires/wheels easily helps.
This Taycan doesn't have PDCC. The last Taycan...
Yes, it's unfortunate. I'm on my third set of Bridgestone RE-71RS tires (200 treadwear) this season. Each set lasted about 4-5 track days and 3,000 street miles. I bought multiple sets of tires on sale new old stock on TireRack, which helped minimize the cost. The fronts wear slightly more than...
They have nema 14-50 outlets by the garage for RVs ($50 fee to use), but stupidly I didn't check my porsche mobile EV charger beforehand and it only worked on level 1, not level 2 (incompatible cord w/ the J-plug), so I didn't even bother with that. Even on level 2, it would have only charged...
Regen off would be more like ICE. IMO regen off will get better lap times as regen will continue to scrub speed off during the corners unless you're really good at maintenance throttle.
In a 20-25 minute session, depending on how hard I was going, it might use up 50-70+% of the battery. The...
3-4 consecutive hot laps before derating. If I managed for thermal limits, I was able to stay out for at least 20-25 minute sessions, but obviously not get best lap times.
Lap time-wise, it really depends on driver skill more so than the car. In my run group (Intermediate 1), going flat out in a hot lap I may be in top 3, but might be in bottom 3 in Intermediate 2 or Advanced.
The upgrade allowed me to hit higher top speed and accelerate faster, but I was hitting...
Just sharing footage from tracking a '21 Taycan Turbo S with Map EV tune at Watkins Glen International in upstate New York with SCDA in intermediate 1 run group. Nothing too crazy for lap times as it was my first time at this track. The esses, followed by the back straight, and then the bus stop...
burlington mall
also tried again in rotterdam NY today, no go either without tesla app.
confirmed plug and charge working at EA in burlington MA and in watkins glen NY (guess where i'll be driving tomorrow :D)
my latest taycan lease came with 21" winters. one tire had a bulge in it. i had them swap them all out for summer tires. 20" winters make more sense...more sidewall, thinner tires
