    Official: Manthey Kit for the Turbo GT with Weissach (Nordschleife lap record: 6:55.533)

    If so, the part of Porsche that wants to kill the Taycan might finally get their way.

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    yes, exactly I use “active suspension” to describe systems like PAR. And PASM is an “adaptive suspension”, with ”adaptive dampers” or “electronically controlled damping”. All those terms. As to the Cayenne EV, I am confused by your remark, because the USA configurator allows me to add it as an...

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    I think you’re referring to the ZA0 i3M. The NA0 i3 EV was announced and there’s no active suspension option. And really I have never heard of any active suspension announcement on an upcoming model, so I’m not really hopefully that the i3M will have the option. A good place to quickly check...

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    Re: BMW active suspension: this isn't out yet. If you search, the hits and the AI summaries all just rehash the Adaptive suspension. I have "M Adaptive Suspension" on my i5 M60 with DHP package, and it is a true adaptive suspensions (i.e. the damper characteristics are computer controlled...

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    Well, this is a time of flux, the lull between a lot of new car introductions. In summary, I think this is not the time right now to switch cars.

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    I ended up ordering an 2025 i5 M60 soon after I bailed out from waiting for a J1.2 allocation in Fall 2024 (I waited an entire year and the dealer couldn’t give me one). I test drove i4 M50 and several different i5 M60’s. The i5 M60 with the Dynamic Handling Package (DHP) was noticeably...

    Underbody Protection Panel damaged. Batteries and coolant lines need inspection. $72.5K replacement & labor cost. Dealership is Tom Wood in Indiana

    I will also say these parting thoughts: The dealer and clearly PCNA is not helping and not committed to any factual evidence based diagnosis and justification for the complete battery replacement. This is a warning sign. Besides sensor data, I believe that essentially the engineering drawing...

    Underbody Protection Panel damaged. Batteries and coolant lines need inspection. $72.5K replacement & labor cost. Dealership is Tom Wood in Indiana

    I have decided not to purchase a refresh J1.II Taycan Turbo with PAR, something I have been looking forward to actually for almost a year. I’m going to stop watching this forum and sign off. I drove my M5 on typical backroads the other day, and had a great time because it was one of those...

    Underbody Protection Panel damaged. Batteries and coolant lines need inspection. $72.5K replacement & labor cost. Dealership is Tom Wood in Indiana

    I think you folks need to take it down a notch, @Maelstrom has got their hands full with this mess, so lecturing and posting outrage is probably not helping, since anyone getting tortured by a dealer like this has got plenty of their own outrage brimming over. The parts list on page 33 at...

    Underbody Protection Panel damaged. Batteries and coolant lines need inspection. $72.5K replacement & labor cost. Dealership is Tom Wood in Indiana

    Can you hire a flatbed tow truck or use your towing allowance of your insurance to pick up the non drivable car and transport it to another more reasonable facility? I don’t see that the cover necessarily needs to be replaced before transport if this dealership is unreasonable also about the...

    Turbo GT…….. delayed….

    The picture clearly shows the Turbo GT has a different rear spoiler lip than any other Taycan models.

    59 Days till my Taycan arrives, I'm so excited

    I recall the recent comments being referenced, and I think that delay was just speculation and not fact. And I believe that car was also PTS. So I believe it isn’t clear if there is currently a delay for PAR.

    Underbody Protection Panel damaged. Batteries and coolant lines need inspection. $72.5K replacement & labor cost. Dealership is Tom Wood in Indiana

    Previous posts have said “glass fiber”, i.e. “fiberglass”? I don’t know about carbon fiber, isn’t that too brittle for an underbody shield?

    Sorry if I’m naive about this, but maybe this is a matter for the police if they are refusing to give you your property back.

    Porsche EV long term reliability?

    Would you mind expanding a little bit on driver assistance improvement?

    Pricing on 2025 orders

    At least in the US, I don’t really believe this. You are negotiating too early I suspect. The wave of cookie-cutter launch vehicles hasn’t yet arrived, and what may turn out to be lackluster buyer interest in list price Taycans has yet to become apparent. I suspect that after the launch...

    2024 Model 3 Performance

    I supposed I provoked this because I used the word “perfect” without qualifying it by expressing basically the sentiment you wrote. Yes, the problem is that I’m not yet finding the right set of compromises that raises a choice to the top. I liked the way the Taycan drives, better than other...

    2024 Model 3 Performance

    Yeah I don’t know. I really wanted to buy the refresh, but more and more, it looks like Porsche really doesn’t know what they are doing with Taycan, or perhaps EVs. Yes, an EV sports car is what I’ve been waiting for, haven’t owned one yet, and was really loolking forward to the refresh with...
