So if you compare it power wise to a Turbo without PAR it's about 25% cheaper. I don't know how it drives, but charging speed is a bit faster than the J1.2 (but larger battery, so overall it's ~same), range is better and there's a lot more room inside... Realistically the Taycan now has actual...

Yeah but you selected the performance version, didn't you? That's as fast as a Turbo in launch control.

You still don't understand how the regen works on a Porsche. How are you going to "coast down the hill" exactly with the lift-off regen off? That's gonna be some crazy speed without touching the brake pedal no? So you're going to touch the brake and that's going to give you exactly as much...

I'm gonna go test drive that thing, I love the design, it's so damn pretty. I expect it to drive nothing like a Taycan with PAR, but it just looks so cool. Just need to convince the mrs somehow that she should daily that thing :P

You're wrong, because regenerative braking is around 60-70% efficient, and because on Porsche pressing the brake pedal does not engage the physical brakes until you're well into it. So by using the brake pedal you're always regenerating exactly the amount needed. Again, it's not a tesla. You're...

It's not counter intuitive, regenerating is lossy. Most efficient is to coast and regenerate only when you need it - meaning using the brake pedal or the auto mode. Having it regen all the time - the driver is human and makes mistakes, so you end up doing a bunch of regen that isn't needed and...

This issue is common and is also present on J1.2. The navi is not actually crashed, something just seems to go into a loop. Just press the phone shortcut button after 20-30s on the climate display. It will switch to phone and then you can switch to any other view and it all works. I have had it...

The AR lift does not become really useful until you're above 1m80 tall, and at 1m75 or less it's actually more comfortable to have it off. I have a CT with the offroad package and even with that it's noticeably easier to get in and out (I'm 1m87). That said, the AR lift is just an extra bonus...

The brake pads are not special.

He got 90% after driving it for 2 years, that's a jackpot win financially.

For the new car warranty it probably won't make a difference, but to add Porsche Approved with the check (when it has run out), the car must have NF marked tyres fitted or Porsche will reject it.

When they replaced the struts they also re-adjusted all the stops again, same as you did the first time. It might come back again the same way... let's hope not.

You can keep waiting then, it's not possible without doing hardware modifications (e.g. swapping in the Turbo S front inverter).

Yes, well the Turbo GT also holds the power a little better up top. The Turbo S really has the same top end as non Turbo-S. It just has a higher peak between 90 and 160km/h. But top end is the same. That's also why the difference between a Turbo S and the lower trims is quite small. E.g...

On the J1.2 every single car until the Turbo S would make their launch power from 100 to 20%. The Turbo S would make it's launch power from 100 to 40%. And it's only the Turbo GT where it's unlimited so you're battery limited. So this argument really goes out of the window on J1.2. There's no...

It's likely there's also fitting iron discs for the 2020, but have to dig in the Porsche parts bin.

He seems to have a hard time understanding that, I did a pretty thorough write-up, but when you're just comparing launch control 1/4 mile numbers and nothing else, then that doesn't help. The car is 25% faster in 99% of every day situations, just in launch control the difference is not as big...

Yes. Your car is slow ;) No issues with any wiggles.

I mean, the new Taycan will be on PPE Evo platform, so dedicated J platform is most likely dead. From the platform standpoint it's going to be more like an Audi A6. Of course the platform is very adaptable, so who knows what they manage to do with it... Whether it will be called the Panamera...
