    (My service appointment was pushed back so...) tune installed! (left) original ASG (right) MapEV tuned ASG I watched the ASG removal video posted by @prj in the OP a couple times and went for it. I highly recommend watching the video for those installing the tune- it's spot on. Don't skip a...

    Part 1: MapEV Diag

    Mac-only family here as well- resurrected an old Intel unibody macbook pro which I vaguely remembered had bootcamp that was unplugged for years, collected dust under my sofa and smelled like my dog, blew out dust with compressed air, thought it would not boot but it worked, ran the mapEV program...

    Part 3: The Quest for the Perfect Tune

    I received my package containing the tuned ASG for my Taycan 4 CT today. After confirming receipt of my vehicle data, @prj shipped quickly through the US distributor and it arrived in 1 week. I'm excited to install it in my car but it will be serviced at the dealership until the end of the month.

    AIR CURTAIN/GRAVEL DEBRIS solution.......

    Thank you to OP @wurzitup and everyone's contributions. I followed @JohnPM 's approach and was able to insert as one piece, while bending the screen slightly in the middle and using my other hand on the door side opening to push the screen to position. Additional tips: - use Lift mode or set to...

    I bought a thing. Man, the prices of CPO Taycans are amazing.

    Mamba Green and Cherry Red colors are gone

    With mamba green disappearing- I have this issue of the Porsche magazine and found this funny. Reminds me of: Apple says it took 'courage' to remove the headphone jack on the iPhone 7 https://www.theverge.com/2016/9/7/12838024/apple-iphone-7-plus-headphone-jack-removal-courage

    Small dents, PDR or traditional dent repair?

    I bet it was that Swarovski covered RR.. take some crystals to offset the cost. In all seriousness, the white looks like paint transfer from the pillar; try a paint polish applied by towel first (Meguiar’s ScratchX or similar). PDR might be possible, hopefully without requiring removing the PPF.

    Is Porsche using cheap materials?

    Thanks to your post here I did some reading into Porsche's headlight coating. I think your 2002 just predated when they started it. The STEK film applied by MD in July 2020 on my Model Y still looks very good. There's one notable blemish on there which came from a significant rock strike just a...

    Is Porsche using cheap materials?

    @whitex this appears to be the UV coating layer; the underlying acrylic plastic housing should be top quality; glass headlights don’t sound like a good idea as they would shatter and are not as optically-clear as acrylic (glass usually has green cast from iron content) read...

    Ferrari Purosangue looks like a Taycan?

    you should see the Toyota… https://www.autoindustriya.com/auto-industry-news/multiverse-does-ferrari-purosangue-look-like-the-toyota-crown-suv/amp I think it was on Harry’s Garage where they really thought about the design to eliminate need for rear wiper (wish this was option on the CT)

    New Video of Face Lift 2024 Taycan & Sport Turismo

    Could be, but I suspect there are architectural/software changes being tested on each Taycan variants spied- battery capacity, motor output changes. More videos on that same Youtube channel show the Boxter EV and Macan EV in the same environment. For one, Porsche really fine-tuned the electric...

    PSCB Porsche Surface Coated Brakes supply and effect or orders

    Configurator appears to have a bug. Found a workaround by selecting all-season tire option for the appropriate wheel size first, instead of desired wheel. Works with base Taycan with Mission-E and PSCB.

    Ironic distressed wrap GTS Sports Turismo. Dirty!

    Amazing job! This is not a Cross Turismo- it’s a Sport Turismo GTS (Sport Design front, Spyder wheels, and definitely the GTS side skirts and marking)!

    Mission E Design wheels unavailable

    I’m surprised you say they’re heavy, as they are forged and a Porsche OEM wheel. The added mass may be for strength against bending, given the weight of the Taycan and aggressive driving? i have not seen posted weights for any Taycan OEM wheel. Pretty sure Tesla’s Model Y 21” wheels (not...

    Mission E Design wheels unavailable

    Agreed. I believe Fuchs produces the Mission-E design wheels https://www.fuchsfelge.com/en/wheel-program/modell/porsche-taycan.html Though for sake of preserving classic 911 heritage, they may not have another supplier.
