    2021 Audi RS e-tron GT Prototype Review

    I expect the difference to be around $30k in the US, given putting decent options on the Porsche, vs the Audi. What you get standard in an Audi is generally a lot better in the US. Look at Macan GTS vs. SQ5 for example. There will just be more options available for Porsche.

    Auto tightening seatbelts

    Yep, that's what they are.

    Gorgeous Day!! - Nov. 7th - 2nd Bay Area "meet up" - 1st annual pre-thanksgiving Taycan Fest…

    If you always just use the What's New button to browse the forum, you'll see the thread :P

    I ask and answer: Why won't my Taycan Charge as fast as I want it to?

    The right "pod" in the driver's display has one of the screens called "Information" that screen can be configured to have one of the lines in it display battery temp. I believe mine did that by default. What do you consider a "decent" charge rate?

    Adaptive cruise control vs a Porsche driver

    The times you use ACC is times you should't be doing "spirited driving" anyway. Having PID on a long trip was pretty great, especially since it's quicker to just set a speed at like 75 or 70 than trying to sneak along as quickly as possible with traffic (as using less battery = spending less...

    What are you paying for electricity per kWh?

    When I got my wife's Bolt in 2017 I looked at switching to a TOU plan, and it'd be a terrible idea, even with her driving an 80mi round trip commute daily. It's nice to have a smart meter and be able to download an excel sheet and run the actual numbers between plans. The takeaway is unless...

    Head-up Display MJ 2021

    This was the biggest reason I'm not bummed I couldn't order it, as I'm almost always wearing polarized prescription sunglasses in the car.

    Charging NA App Broken? (Not allowing 350KW EA Terminals to be selected)

    I want the old version back, now it asks you to log in every time you start it.

    Things -- namely, EA things -- are Looking Up!

    The same reason they don't sell their own gas pumps.

    Ask a Porsche Dealer Anything

    I can see hating on Lane Keep Assist (I always turned that annoying thing off on the Macan), but LCA is just some lights in the mirror, and I always found it useful.

    Audi RS e-tron GT teased as 24 Hours of Spa pace car

    Meh, I liked both of my R8's more than any similar 911. Then the Mk2 didn't have a manual. :/ I also miss my B7 RS4, but there wont ever be another car like that again.

    Can we make a Sticky about which home charger to use?

    The default NEMA 14-50 is what you want, unless you already have something installed. If you follow code and have a 50A circuit installed, you'll be fine, no matter what you plug into it.

    Taycan Turbo S with Mission E Concept style wheels

    CL's on a street car are a terrible idea (like PCCB, IMO), they look good but are an absolute PITA to deal with.

    TURBO or TURBO S

    The Taycan is only priced against other Porsche models, as that's the measuring stick. The pricing is similar to Panamera, so it's not like the Taycan deviates much from Porsche's successful formula. We just have a bunch of Tesla refugees here now, but they'll be gone once some other...

    Members Say Hello Here!

    Aren't those wheels twice as expensive as Mission E wheels? :P

    Trip Report: Sunnyvale to Vegas in a Taycan Turbo

    I've driven that route many times, it's not particularly scenic, other than on 152, and a bit on 58, maybe. Mostly it's desert. I-15 is mostly a straight line, which has been fun in the past for some serious high speed runs. (I followed a Ferrari, and an M5 hauling ass there once back when I...

    TURBO or TURBO S

    The CF bits and such are nice on the Turbo S also. And you save $2k on tires, because it comes with summer tires already. :P

    Trip Report: Sunnyvale to Vegas in a Taycan Turbo

    I'd have to go look, but it'd be whatever everyone else in the US got on the 21" wheels that didn't get a Turbo S. Can't option summer tires on the Turbo :mad:

    TURBO or TURBO S

    If there's only a $15k difference between each "tier", then I'd guess you are giving up a bunch of options for each "step". I think I'd be more interested in what options are on the car than what model. The Turbo S has PCCB and that's an anti-option for me, so I'd stick with the Turbo. But...

    Trip Report: Sunnyvale to Vegas in a Taycan Turbo

    They are the 21" Mission E wheels, with the stock all-seasons.
