Nice even though conservative driving at an average of 50 MPH, still had 4 adults in the car, hit two rain storms, night time headlights, etc, is still an amazing achievement. Looking forward to the standard Car and Driver range test @ their 75 MPH, and separately Out of Spec’s standard...
As noted above, the Taycan while great in so many ways had an Achilles heel compared to some other EV’s., e.g. its lack of range. As I result and since this was going to be our first EV, we got an iX M60 (0-60 by MotorTrend in 3.2 seconds) and, apples to apples on features as much as is...
That is an excellent question. Hopefully the extra battery weight has been at least partially compensated by reduced other components’ mass. However, the Macan’s weight has not (best of my memory) yet been shared so even if we get the Tycan’s reveal next Wednesday as many expect, we might not...
Considering that for range testing Porsche is now allowing media to test drive several 2025 Taycans in California, with one of those vehicles being a 2025 Taycan Cross Turismo, I say this is totally bogus info from a dealership. Porsche would not be allowing media to tests 2025 CT’s in the...
As the risk of not pleasing some here, it is human nature that when a new model comes out, most who are not in the market for a new one find the improvements de minimus (or worse) and those who are in the market for a new model, get excited about some or most of the changes….
We realize that conditions were nearly perfect for this public event. But with 12 different media driving four Taycans, one with 22’’s, one a 4S Cross Turismo, driving them over three days, each getting over 300 miles, and with quite a few over 325 miles, this is a major improvement. Of all the...
As noted, they are mobile wheel repair facilities. They are truly amazing at what amount of damage they can return to pristine condition. The amount shown above are truly a very light amount compared to what they can easily handle, and when done they return wheel to new condition. Not to say...
ciaranob, super nice upgraded look to your car. Definitely going to do mine in gloss black/clear coat to the wheel arches to match the rest.
Questions please for you/all….
Any tips on removing just the arches plastic pieces to begin with, e.g., just needing traditional pry tool on back...
Our 2021 RAV4 Prime came standard with gloss painted wheel arches. They looked great when new, still do three years and 38,000 miles later. That look, to my wife an me, is why we are going to get to the same finish line for our CT 4S.
Big thanks to W1NGE, bsclywilly, Wuffvon Trips, Gnasher...
While the GTS Taycan comes with smoothed, gloss painted black ones, I believe all the rest come with mildly textured flat black plastic. Please correct me if I am wrong for my upcoming, incoming 4 S which will have gloss black paint on everything else so factory order-able.
If that is all on...
