The places to test handling limits are never cloverleafs nor public roads of any kind, but instead race tracks or if you happen to be near a massive, empty industrial parking lot without poles or any cars on it when the business is not in service.

We are getting a 2027 GTS ST Taycan with hopefully it having the rumored virtual PDK with simulated sound and torque gearing. Our current Macan EV Turbo lease ends next year so no option for us to further wait for the 2028 J.2, though might Porsche’s new CEO push it out that currently-next...

For the first time, I went to the C&D test linked in post # 135. Below was their conclusion about a Taycan Taycan Turbo S with PAR. The very last sentence was their key takeaway.

Very nice final build. Big enjoyment ahead.

Re the Sports Design visible carbon fiber exterior package, I included it in my initial configurations. However I decided against it for a few reasons — the first two interrelated. First, its price is $4,120; second, I can get four pieces of STEK’s visable carbon fiber PPF and get my detailer...

The industry average determination is that powder coating is 8-10 times stronger in resisting rock chips than is OEM paint. But like anything aftermarket, one needs to do significant research to determine that the powder coating firm you are planing to use is A grade. I have had three sets of...

Next Tuesday is when Porsche puts out its annual business report. Let’s see what it says. Any positive financial news, again a disasterous quarter of only net $40M profit, sales rebounding or what?

Another helpful tip I often use when renovating factory parts and being concerned about clip or tab breakage, is that I get our a hair dryer (not a heat gun) and warm up the part I am going to remove, for as we know the warmer plastic is the more flexible it is, the less chance of something...

Might you please have a link for those of us who would like to learn more?

That are two different companies who make a temporary protective film, e.g., XPEL’s TracWrap or TrackArmor that you can put on with one other person in about 30 minutes to protect most of ito front-facing surfaces for your ride home. These products are smartly used for folks who track their...

Alternative thought if you do not choose a Porsche Experience Center delivery, for it is a super special experience you would remember smilingly for decades. Plus getting some track time in a near identical to your Taycan with an instructor next to you helping you safely learn your cars...

Another vote for RS Spyders. The other two, my personal opinion worth about nothing, look most like wheels for an electric car and while they give a little better range, the RS Spyders could fit handsomely on an 911 GTS or similar. Our 2027 Taycan GTS will be ordered with the RS Spyders...

You are right; it was a 2025 J1.2.

Good thing about Buc-ee‘s, in addition to their food and different ambiance, isthat their corporate policy is that all new locations (they just announced seven new locations today) will have lots of EV charging stations — as almost almost all of their current ones already have.

Re the Macan EV Turbo which we have (with every performance option including RWS), it is a precise, well handling, fine steering, a fun-to-drive vehicle. But it still is a Porsche and thus it has been in the shop a fair amount for both software and hardware issues. To be fair it was made the...

For those of us who are originally ordering the 21” RS Spyders (or any other 21” wheel), there are no original-order all seasons. To go to A/S’s when the weather first dictates (but do not want/need winter tires), and thereafter for our vehicles use, though saving the OEM summer tires for use...

If you don’t have time and/or the preference to watch the video, here’s the summary with about 35 degree F average temperature throughout his four hour range test. Thank you Tom.

How did it perform Tom on your typical New Jersey testing loop?

I like Dolomite just as I do Ice Grey, for in bright sunny light they are reflective and alive. I personally however echo the above comment on cloudy and/or rainy days Ice Grey and also to me Dolomite tends to fade away. We love our Gentian but for a change will be going will Purple Sky...

Whether one likes them or not, the J1.2’s creases were designed in and result in better aero, e.g., better range.
