Sorry about your car’s total loss but glad you in the end were made whole. I also appreciate your providing definite information about a one pay then total loss, for we have had quite a few posts here and on other forums that once you do a one pay and your car is totaled you are SOL.
I always...
As I noted above those first numbers were WLTP kilometer measurements and the second set were the conversions I always make to get to a rough approximation of EPA miles.
1) Km to miles requires a multiplier of .612137;
2) Then since all agree that WLPT figures are a gross over estimation...
Take the difference between the two numbers, e.g 318-310. Then 10miles difference from the original number of 318 miles (10/318) = approximately 3%.
Of course the overriding issue is whether having a 10 mile greater range (100% charge to 0% charge), something we almost never do, is meaningful...
Using the standard adjustments I do (and of course there are other was to make the conversion), this results in:
318 miles vs 308 miles., e..g a 2.8% difference.
If one goes to the French Taycan configuration site, as it required for all EV’s sold in that country, if you type in the two different wheels based on WLTP determination, FWIW you get these two comparison numbers with the Turbo Aero Sport wheels being the higher number.
611 km vs. 604 km*...
Despite this good news of all season finally being available for the 21” Aero Design wheels for those who want the extra range those wheels provide, we are excitedly proceeding down our original path of 21” RS Spyders for our 2027 GTS. As someone posted earlier, they are good looking enough to...
The comment today in the Project Purple current thread about better ride with 20‘ wheels and tires (a post we have seen tens of times in different threads), or course relegated to sidewall heights, got me to this morning look at the comparative sidewalls for our intended 2027 GTS. From...
The 21’ Aero Design wheels are unique, narrower 245/45 by 9” & 285/40 by 11” wheel and tires than all the rest of the 21” Taycan’s 265/40 & 305/35 tires. Up until now there was no all season tires to fit the Aero Design wheels. However, Goodyear just came out with some: “Goodyear Eagle F1 All...
Even with its premier option of Active Ride, each one of its three separate components can be easily turned off or turned on. Expect the same for the new virtual PDK and its sound, that those two components would similarly be able to be separately turned on/off.
Let’s see if it is true as TheDrive has stated when the reported that Porsche told their dealer conference in Atlanta last November, that the the 2027 Taycan has a virtual PDK that simulates torque gear changes and sounds (à la the Hyundai 5N), and that Porsche’s own physical PDK engineers...
The iX3 is the smart choice in terms of range, price, internal room, and so much more. Will be even better when the 2027 iX60 version comes out. But I cannot personally cope with its looks. Hope others can.
Suggesting but of course no yet confirming the two separeate articles in TheDrive we already have here, that the 2027 Taycan will have both simulated virtual PDK and V8 sounds. It will be easily on/off for those who want and those who never want. An option or standard is something else we...
There was also a Cayenne EV review by CAR Magazine, where at 8:40 in the video its reviewer said he prefers it without PAR, calling it “more organic and authentic without it.“
Is it worth $7,800 USD? Each of us will have to make our own decision but will there be enough customer test...
