I think that the lack of audio cue for acceleration is a prime factor, as is the instantaneous torque delivery until you get used to it. I think that passengers can help themselves by looking well ahead to anticipate where the car is heading, as if they were driving. Personally, I initially...

Same here, though I don't see so many around now- wonder where all the ones coming off lease have gone (there's no longer a wall of them filling the parking spaces at my local Porsche centre). EV Macans are conspicuous by their absence- I've only spotted 1, but they are pretty anonymous in the...

I used to enjoy some of his stuff, but this 25 minute video could easily have been distilled down to a few PowerPoint slides. It's a lot of facts to support a not very revelatory analysis.

I was pleasantly surprised at how cheap it was to hire a "Focus-sized" car for a few days for a 400 mile round trip I had to make while the Taycan was awaiting replacement wheels for those buckled beyond repair. I had the advantage of being within a couple of miles of the hire place. I was...

My senior dog who enjoyed travelling (always on back seats, even in the CT) in other cars wasn't as keen in the Taycan, even though I always took it easy with her. I assume more sensitive to the sounds (maybe even magnetic fields?), possibly also it didn't follow her learnt relationship...

I'd managed to avoid damage for 3 years on my 20" wheels, but just before Christmas on a rough country lane ran through a large puddle with such a huge bang that I assume it was potholed. I carried on as the car surprisingly felt normal, but a few miles later when I got on a smoother surface...

I managed to buckle (beyond repair) two 20" wheels driving through a puddle that was hiding a deep pothole. I'm surprised that neither tyre seems to have been damaged, they're now on the new wheels.

Why does it feel dangerous? Is it difficult to moderate accelerator input and/or is the tail significantly more wayward when accelerating out of a corner at a rate that less powerful cars manage without drama? I'm assuming the latter based on your question, so is it an issue in all drive...

Hmmm, perhaps it's prep work for this future "enhancement" :rolleyes:- https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/fake-gear-shifts-coming-to-2027-taycan-and-big-pcm-update.31899/unread

Coincidentally, I'd recently come to the conclusion that, rather than sit out winter before getting back on track, it's the perfect opportunity for some low-grip car control activities (sadly, an ice driving holiday wouldn't impress her indoors, but I've booked a few days in relatively cheap RWD...

Another data point on the Taycan can do it all theme... A MY22 Turbo Cross Turismo can, for 10 mins or so, lap a GP circuit within 4% of a 991.2 GT3 RS (with a lot less drama, though that's not necessarily a positive).

The renderings of Bordeaux are far too subdued- @prj 's link shows much more accurate representation (though, as a pre-facelift, the 2-tone has less black on the seats than does the current generation).

Sending the car to out for a day at a 3rd party diamond cut wheel "repair" specialist is fair enough. The carelessness of the Porsche centre staff would be more of an issue if you use them for long-term maintenance. I doubt that a gesture would cost them much more than just waving you goodbye.

The value of 255 could be due to a rogue process or hardware component setting all 8 bits of a byte.

At a slight tangent...when I went in to get my wheels swapped for winter, where previously there'd been a long row of used Taycans there were now only Macans.

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your search. I'm possibly misunderstanding your statement about dealer's limited options, I wouldn't expect a dealer to want to risk bringing back a Taycan that has left the Porsche sales ecosystem, and I would advise against looking for one that doesn't...

That's good in that it's a similar distance to what I got at Silverstone (International) with Turbos and Turbo S's. For my first 2 visits, PEC made a second vehicle available so that I could alternate to maximise my total track time. On my 3rd visit, they only provided a single car- fair...

How long/far were you able to run before thermal management noticeably restricted power delivery?

When I had my Cayenne hybrid, my service loaner was a Cayman T. I was so disinterested in it that I'm not even sure it wasn't a Boxster T. I couldn't wait to get back in the Cayenne with its superior practicality, comfort and silence in urban driving. They were totally different tools and...

I think that's a reasonable assumption...so why are you taking issue with me saying that the GT has 32% more drag than the GTS? Would you prefer me to say that it has at least 32% more drag (at the same speed of course...or should I say velocity if we want to get picky)?
