IMO the 20" setup on the Taycan is the sweet spot. Here in Ohio, we have a lot of pot holes from the freezing temps. I would not want 21s for winter, so that limited me. But the ride quality of the 20s blends better with the car's chassis dynamics. Unless you're in a warm climate with smooth...
Your guess is correct. Recent driving data coupled with ambient temps, the car does its best to "guesstimate" the remaining range. Hence why colder temps vs warmer temps will see such a disparity. You can see, and in real driving realize, up to 30% loss in colder temps. So your range you see...
INITIAL THOUGHTS
Tires were installed a day earlier than expected, which has given me more time to test them out (sort of). At this point I've only put ~50 miles total on the car, a good mix of city/highway driving. It has been below freezing since I acquired the car, so I have no...
As an owner of a '21 Neptune Blue CT -- it's gorgeous! That said, there is a more pearl and sparkle to Mamba. The color of Neptune is almost muted in a way. It isn't as dark as most Blue cars out there, but it's not particularly metallic in the sunshine, compared to Mamba. I'd say in that...
There are two "clicks" that might occur here, so we need to understand which one you are talking about. First is the click of the handle physically grabbing to the top inside your car. This is part of any J1772 or CCS handle (see THIS PHOTO and the reference to the J1772 lock). In most cases...
Almost the perfect build. Biggest item for me that this is missing that was, for me personally, a "must have" was ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control). Even if you don't want ALK/PID, those features can be added FOD (feature on demand). My '21 CT came with ACC, and after a trial of ALK/PID -- I'll...

Google says 25kg per a top gear article. Also My 4S sedan had the bigger battery. So I suspect it’s close to 25kg than 250 lbs. either way I would say I noticed no delta.
Having owned a 4S sedan, a Turbo sedan, and now a CT base/4 -- I'd say the wheel/tire size has more to do with the handling than sedan vs CT. Summer tires, and 21s with stiffer side wall, make turn-in sharper and crisper, giving the sensation the car is going to rotate more. RAS obviously does...
Background: My first Taycan was a 2020 4S sedan that I purchased new, right before the winter season. I only had it for two months but in that time I found the ContiRX A/S tires were adequate in the snow we get here. I'm on the edge of the snow belt, and we do get snow storms that can at times...
Have been wondering about Gravel Mode in the snow but we only have had 1x real snowy day here in Cleveland, Ohio USA. Have some new A/S tires going on this Friday, and hopeful we'll also get more snow before the season ends, so I can try it out! :) Thanks for sharing your findings.
That is actually not yet confirmed, is it? Right now you can use a Magic Dock to charge at certain stations, but you have to drive up, open the Tesla app, enter the tower ID (eg: 1C) and then it releases the charger w/adapter. This requires a Tesla account and you're good to go.
However, with...
Looking at the thread above, plenty of people had lots to say about ALK/ACC/LKA etc -- and since my views match theirs, I won't stoke that fire. However, nobody actually really touched down on your 2nd question "correctly" -- the only reply I saw ASSUMED you were talking about DC/fast charging...
Not a single non-Tesla auto maker has released any hardware, nor any photos of hardware, that I'm aware of... as of yet. It seems likely that Ford (the first to announce the NACS adoption) will be first to market with any sort of adapter. Tesla employees even said so by accidentally leaking...
Thanks for this assistance. I'm not sure I'd try to remove the one I have unless I already had spent the $$ to have a spare around like you have now. Granted yours already did break, LOL -- but I suspect that if anything, I may order a replacement (once I identify which one I need) -- and then...
PS: From what I can tell from @DerekS post(s) -- it seems his broke off unintentionally. But that it seems to have still DC charged after? My biggest worry here is that nothing exists in the car that can detect the presence of the cover (a hidden button internally that gets depressed by the...
I vaguely recall someone posting about theirs coming off but I thought it caused issues too? Or some warning error? Hence why I asked here -- but I also couldn't find that thread -- I'll search his activity here and stalk his posts for info LOL :p
Found his thread here...
(see orange arrow as reference)
This past weekend I had a day trip and ended up DC fast charging 3x times in total. My first stop was to a Tesla Supercharger that has a MagicDock, only because I had wanted to try it out. I found the adapter clunky and barely clearing the little cover (see...
Seems like a great deal IMO -- but we are headed into a new year and prices will drop more on used. Plus we're about to head into a period where a lot of these come in off lease from 2021 which will push entire Taycan pricing down another $10k if I had to wager a guess. That said, the spec...
