    Thinking of going back to ICE / hybrid - am I mad.

    It's GTS4. I'm not keen on Alcantara or sunroofs so the spec looks like this: Guards red Black leather with crayon stiching and light silver package GTS wheels in satin black Side skirts in black 18 ways Privacy glass Leather GT steering wheel Power steering plus PDCC Front axel lift Surround...

    Thinking of going back to ICE / hybrid - am I mad.

    Just to bring this thread full circle, the deal is now done. The Taycan is gone and this lovely thing has finally arrived. So that's me leaving for now at least. Unlike some who have sold and moved on I thought the Taycan was (is) a great car. Over 4 years and 40000 miles I only ever needed a...

    detected speed limit very wrong

    I tried using the speed limit detecting limiter function in order to stay the right side of the law. It's downright dangerous and after a few weeks I turned it off and only engage cruise / limit manually. Speed detection had so many false readings, I found I was regularly over the posted speed...

    Does a car have to have tailpipes and a gear shifter to have soul?

    I thought I was a complete EV convert and I totally love my 4S. However a 48 test in a 992.2 GTS easily convinced me to go back to ICE. I don’t know if it was “soul” but the size, the noise and the handling just clicked and I placed my order. Once we have lighter batteries and smaller EV sports...

    Thinking of going back to ICE / hybrid - am I mad.

    Yeah , can’t / won’t keep both. I’ll either keep the 4s or change to the gts 4. I could go for a j1.2 but feel the deprecitation is prohibitive

    Thinking of going back to ICE / hybrid - am I mad.

    Really don’t want an argument but this version did seem pure to me. If anything it felt like a 5 lt (or 6) NA to me. I thought best of both worlds.

    Thinking of going back to ICE / hybrid - am I mad.

    Have you tried the new hybrid GTS? I was quite surprised coming from a 4s. Pretty good pick up but once it’s going the 4s is dust.

    New Battery monitoring software update?

    That’s what I was looking for. No connection with the update, just coincidence . Thanks.

    Thinking of going back to ICE / hybrid - am I mad.

    Hi all Drove a 992.2 4GTS last week and cannot get it out of my mind. It’s beautiful, handles well, sounds fantastic and is very quick, it’s got under my skin. It picks up really well but not quite at full electric levels. Once it’s going it really goes. I’ve got an allocation for a GTS4. It’s...

    New Battery monitoring software update?

    True but until I made the update CarPlay and PCM pretty much always matched with expected SOC on arrival. Post the update they are not even close.

    New Battery monitoring software update?

    I installed the update a couple of weeks ago. Since then I’ve noticed the expected SOC at destination go haywire in maps on CarPlay. Sometimes it even shows a higher SOC at destination than I actually have part way through the journey. Today I got a pop up in CarPlay saying that battery...

    Planning trip to Schotland.

    With just 3 days and then back to Newcastle I would suggest you follow the SWC300. I posted a report on here last year: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/scottish-road-trip-report-with-taycan-4s.19683/

    EV Tires vs. non-EV Regular Tires - test comparison by Tire Rack

    When I had to change my tyres the only ones I could locate were in NA0 (for a 911) spec. I much prefer the grip and steering precision that the NA0s give over the NF0s and am happy to give up what I estimate to be around 6 or 7% of range for that extra grip.

    What color is this Taycan?

    My wife refers to that colour as undercoat. We both love Carmine red.

    CC2 not too good

    When I got my tyres changed at around 17k, I could only get eagle F1s in NA0 spec (911 spec). I lost around 7% range but picked up significant wet and dry grip. Clearly NA0 tyres are not geared to EV range like the NF0s are but I much prefer the higher grip compromise .

    Manchester T2 Parking

    I parked there in March. The entry and exit are fine, wide enough with good vision. I managed to find an end of row space in a corner but with a couple of car widths between me and the wall, which was marked off with yellow lines. I could take a bit of liberty and parked quite a long way from...

    Scottish road trip report with Taycan 4S

    There are a couple of short (a few miles) of single track roads that have regular passing places but nothing we experienced any challenges with (except for 1 driver who couldn't reverse the 15 meters to the last passing place and expected me to reverse around 100m instead :facepalm:). We had...
