Which ICE car did you order?

Same here WST2 update appeared in mine the day after I did all of the recalls you mention. There must be a link. But in my case the car failed to complete the update 10 days in a row. I had to take it to service, they forced it manually without success. Finally yesterday they had to do a 12V...

Thanks. That is really what I did the first time and it failed. Now it no longer asks me about the update when I turn off the car but when I come back in the morning i get the "update failed" message.

My 2022 keeps failing to perform online update WST2 (HV battery control unit). Anyone experienced this? I charge the car to 60%+, drive it so small battery charges, update shows up on the SW update screen, I lock the car, but when i come back I get the online update failed message. This whole...

"Was never said. I said there is a difference, albeit not a huge one." "Was never said, not even remotely close." "Also not said." Sorry someone had to do this. I know you run on stamina, thinking people would give up. (and many do). These are the facts unless someone was typing on your...

Here we go again. Dude you do have a problem. You can't have a conversation. There are many sophisticated people here and you keep throwing childish insults when you face the slightest disagreement. Nothing I said above is controversial. PERIOD. Did you even read it? And the only reason we are...

In a normal car suspension the spring is the PRIMARY load-bearer, defining the vehicle’s response to action. The damper is a regulator, it does not replace the spring’s counteracting behavior but manages the rate of that behavior. They work together but for damper to regulate something there has...

You think saying this adds any value? Do you really think that I think air suspension is horizontally installed? The chasis' immediate reaction to a steering input is felt through suspension's reaction. When you give a sharp left steering input, that immediately puts pressure on the right side...

Air or gas molecules are not rigid by nature. They will always have a natural reaction delay to an impact vs steel, or any hard material. This is completely seperate than overall stiffness of the suspension air or steel. In every instance you drive an air suspension vs a steel suspension of the...

Yes but there is a layer of gas still sitting between chasis and the wheels. When you give any steering input even at low speed chasis’ immediate reaction is to lean towards the other side and it is still air (or hydrolic arm) stopping the car doing so. That split second interactions reveal the...

My understanding is with the PAR set up, separate from all fancy leveling benefits, you have more “direct” connection to the road as there is no air/gas between the road and the vehicle’s chasis, as hydraulic arms are holding the vehicle afloat (except when it is parked when the car falls on a...

Odd fact on tires, 21 inch rears have the lowest overall tire diameter. 2.7% smaller than the 20 inches. Was not expecting them to exactly match but this is a surprisingly large difference, means the 21 inch set up will have a slightly higher tractive force 🤣

How does the noise compare between the two?

Does anyone know the difference between NF0 and NF1? What improved?

How do they compare to your very first RWD?

On the latest generation panamera GTS they tuned the air suspension so stiff, many early reviews complain that the ride is borderline uncomfortable vs a silky ride in the 4S. There has to be a suspension tuning difference between GTS and 4S for taycan too. I’ve seen couple other people finding...

I owned multiple BMWs and RWD porsches over time. RWD BMWs are pretty much undriveable with snow on the ground even in flat geographies. I got stranded multiple times, in all odd and unexpected ways, until I started regularly using winter tires, which transforms the car. I find Taycan RWD a...

Thought that part is obvious was trying to clarify other controversial areas.

OP asked for a simple input. This is my subjective evaluation after 3.5 years of ownership and many loaners & test drives:

A RWD 911 Carrera saves about 45–50 kg compared to a 4 or 4S, mainly because it lacks the front differential and the driveshaft (which runs along the length of the car). That is less than a 3% weight savings, primarily from the front axle, for a car that weighs a little over 1.5 tons. Yet auto...
