Would have loved to see this car around town. Good luck in nyc

What is the status number (V #) of your order.? Your dealer should be able to give you a status number. It’s quite possible the dealer placed an order for you without an allocation in the hopes to get one (this is fairly common practice) but if Porsche is having a hard time building cars, they...

If dealer has no information they don’t have an allocation to sell you. As soon as they have an allocation the car gets an order number. They should at the least the month of the allocation. Once that happens the car will have a schedule for the build. This of course can get bumped around...

Queen City in Redmond is the only place to go. They’ll get all OEM parts and match the paint perfectly. They do most of the super high end cars in the area and are very nice and responsive.

I really love that chalk on the 992 TTS. I originally spec'd chalk but saw it on a Cayenne and thought it looked to beige so I changed to CWM but it looks amazing on the 911.....

Nice write up. I agree with you that owning both is a must at some point! I choose now

I have both (turbo s variety) and prefer the taycan 10/10 times

Totally agree Tesla is king here. Not sure I’ll get a chance to have my phone battery die to test the bmw again but kind of doubt that is the case but maybe I’ll try it. I will say the biggest issue I have with the bmw “key” it having to place it on the handle to open but even worse is the tiny...

Ok so I went into the setting of the wallet for the BMW app and enabled the "express mode" which is what it is call. I can confirm you can open and start the car (assuming you place it in the correct location of the door handle and in the small cubby for the start) without using Face ID which...

Actually Dave you are not correct on the bmw front. Sorry I know you are quite knowledgeable but I have a 2022 x5. In order to authenticate the nfc handshake you have you phone charged but actually have to authenticate the handshake with Face ID or the phones password. No way to do this with a...

Nope can’t do it with the taycan. I have a 2022 taycan turbo S and bought my wife a 2022 x5. The iPhone key works with the bmw but not like a tesla where you just need your phone with you. The BMW system you add the key to your wallet on the phone but have to hold the phone up to the door...

I agree I agree but I think some folks want to know how far they could go in a pinch or a road trip. As a daily commuter I never worry about it but did an experiment trying to “optimize” my commute in my new turbo S.. I was only able to get down to 37 kWH/100miles.In my old 4s I was able to...

?

I hope you can change this within the app retroactively at some point. My voodoo blue car shows up as green in the app (similar to the prior configuration tool)

Have you ever done any track time? I’ve done a fair amount. If so tell me the physics of what happens to a car with super hard strong braking prior to entering a turn. The more powerful brakes will have a increase downforce on the front end of the car to allow you to hold the turn better. The...

Wow. That’s pretty good @KTC This would get you well over 300miles range. Not sure if you can divide the 28 into the 93 battery pack (I assume it’s not linear like that) or you would have around 330. You have the 21 inch exclusivewheels I think so it surprising your turbo KWH is so much...

Drive both and get back to me. I’m sure you are aware the front and rear end design of the turbo S are different. Maybe not. Also saying that a a car that has toque vectoring isn’t affected by the absolute torque of the vehicle makes no sense. Maybe we need a a physicist to chime in….

Well @Archimedes i guess that may be the case who knows - but I assume you understand that the added power and torque of the turbo/s influence downforce and handling of the car. To say it doesn’t is naive. “Low spec” Not sure - it was a $140k spec which compared to my $220k turbo S I guess is...

Actually @Archimedes the Turbo S has Standard Rear Axel Steering the Porsche Torque Vectoring. I know the former is a option on the 4S (I believe only 2022) and the later is not an option. Both make draumatic difference in driving/handling. I put 9000 miles on my 4S with 20 inch turbo Wheels...

I went from a 2021 4S to a 2022 turbo S and the change is MASSIVE. Not just fast launch control which is almost too fast but in day to day highway driving it’s amazingly more nimble and planted. So far my range is still catching up as I only have a few hundred miles on the turbo S and...
