Thanks @Mr.Smith, that puts my mind at ease!
Knowing your 'floaty' reference is relative to a GT3 (and explicitly not a Rolls/Tesla X 'waft') confirms the GTS is likely exactly what I'm looking for.
If you do manage to get some seat time in a GTS with PAR, I’d still be very curious to hear...
That would be great, thanks!
To give some context on my reference frame: I previously owned a Model S P85+ and a Model X on 22s. While my family was perfectly happy with them on long European trips, I personally found them too soft/floaty. I never really felt connected to the road.
I currently...
Have you ever driven a J1.2 GTS with PAR for comparison?
I noticed the marketing for the GTS specifically mentions a 'GTS specific tune' for the Active Ride system, while the Turbo GT (Weissach) page just shows the generic PAR description.
Since you find the GT in Normal 'too soft', I'm...
Suspension dynamics are about handling road imperfections and G-forces, not just high speed stability. PAR actually shines brightest on those bumpy B-roads and in city traffic by completely eliminating head-toss and brake dive. It's valuable exactly because you're not driving on a flat autobahn.
Great trip report! Just regarding the 150kW cap at Tesla: that’s actually a hardware bottleneck in the J1, not the charger behaving oddly.
Since most Tesla Superchargers (even those with V4 stalls with the display and longer cables) are still running on 400V V3 cabinets, the J1 has to use its...
If you only talk about low temperature, and not snow vs no snow, then I prefer to show this video from Jason:
So like Jason always says:
"If you live in mild climate and see only max 2/3 days of snow a year, the All-Season is the better 'Winter' tire."
