    BAY AREA owners: Where do you mount your Fastrak Flex transponder?

    Good question….mine won’t work either. Do you have the privacy glass option? @CaliPorsche what about you?

    22 Taycan GTS Tire choice

    It depends on what criteria are most important to you… If performance: Michelin PS4S (or they may actually have PS5S in our size now) or Pirellis (can also go with the new Pirelli Trofeo R that the Turbo GT is equipped with). From personal experience, Michelin is generally a much better value/$...

    New 2023 Taycan GTS

    The scenario in which you would be pushing your car hard enough to notice the change in range doesn’t really exist outside of a race track. In daily usage on public roads the impact is so small I could not even give you an estimate.

    New 2023 Taycan GTS

    Congrats and welcome! While I will forever miss the raw mechanical engagement and handling of my 991.2 GT3 touring, the Taycan GTS takes the cake for the perfect daily driven sportscar If you get the itch for more power, the Redshift ECU takes an awesome car to an incredible car!

    2023 Taycan GTS Sport Turismo w/ 22" Turbo Design wheels from 9YB Cayenne Coupe

    Appreciate the input! Range really isn’t a consideration for me as I will happily sacrifice it for looks/performance, but was just curious what you were seeing and how sensitive these cars really are to different wheel/tire setups

    2023 Taycan GTS Sport Turismo w/ 22" Turbo Design wheels from 9YB Cayenne Coupe

    Would love to get your feedback on how this impacted your range (wider tires and wheels that were not designed with drag considerations in mind). My understanding is that the new 21” Aero Design wheels (which also come with narrower 285 rear tires) have been shown to increase range by something...

    Do you sell the charger with the car?

    If you want to be nice you should include it. But there is no obligation to sell the car with any component, specced as part of standard equipment or otherwise. No different than, say, removing the 6 CD changer from the trunk of your E39 M5 and then selling the car to someone else….cars for all...

    High Voltage Battery Recall EXPANDED - ARB6 & ARB7

    They arent talking about putting new monitoring software in your car. The car already sends diagnostic data to Porsche…toggle through your vehicle settings and you can see that you can disable this “feature” (because not everyone wants their car sending automatic diagnostic reporting to...

    She Pretty - Navy Blue Matte Black with Copper Wheels

    Hard to tell given the poor quality of the photos, but did you convert the hubs to center lock?

    Rusted PSCB brakes

    I believe that the rear brakes may actually be doing more work than the front. I am coming to this conclusion based on dust buildup on the wheels as my rear wheels are always dirtier (and the fact that most “regular“ braking is done via motor recuperation, eg the brakes aren’t used much). This...

    Tesla Converts? What has your experience been with your Taycan?

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion but this dog doesn’t hunt for me… Of course the Taycan doesn’t have the exact same dynamics as a 911, but coming from a 991.2 GT3 to a Taycan GTS, the car is absolutely still a Porsche

    Need Advice on Purchasing 2023 CPO vs 2025

    Really depends on how much money you are willing to throw away. If you are financially prudent, the logical approach would be to wait a year and buy a lightly used 2025. With the amount of depreciation these cars are experiencing, buying new is a pretty tough proposition. If you have to have the...

    Thanks for sharing. Very similar (as would be expected) to my GTS with Reshift tune.

    Acceleration - 2021 4S Cross vs 2024 GTS

    thanks for confirming, I often drive in Sport so, yes, that makes sense that the speed dependent lowering differs based on which drive mode you are in.

    Acceleration - 2021 4S Cross vs 2024 GTS

    I will have to confirm next time I am in the car but my GTS definitely defaults to “Low” setting (the same as Sport Plus) at certain highway speeds… I found this in the literature (but it is specifically in reference to Cross Turismo… … I am fairly certain the GTS does it at something closer...

    Acceleration - 2021 4S Cross vs 2024 GTS

    It’s not so much that it “messes up the alignment” - there is a perfectly valid reason to increase negative camber (handling in corners). I think what you are trying to say is that sport plus puts the car in its lowest possible configuration, which, of course, will result in more negative camber...

    What year is your TS? Your trap speed of 133 is pretty impressive as I believe most people are seeing sub-130

    60-130 on Turbo S from a Roll? Installing Redshift ECU Clone Today

    We discussed this in another Redshift thread… @ElectricV8Biturbo has measured 6-130 on his Turbo S without LC in the “high 8 seconds range”

    Finally got some drag times (Draggy) for my Taycan Turbo S

    This is helpful and confirms my butt-o-meter assessment that the car definitely is pulling harder than a stock Turbo/Turbo S when not in overboost. I looked through the Draggy database and there are a few datapoints of Taycan Turbo S that put down mid-7 second 60-130, so I am inclined to...
