I don’t find any need for that behavior but many may.

To be clear, I am not trying to spin my wheels, I see this as a bug not a feature.

traction control on? what tires? tire condition/tread depth?

 

[garegin]

I gotta check on the tires, but yes traction control is on. I have less than 1000 miles on the car, so I would think the thread is brand new. I suspect the stock tires are just garbagio.

You do have a turbo s so there will be a lot of power. In a straight line mine scrabble for grip a bit which the traction control then gets hold of. Round a bend or roundabout I can easily lose grip and start to slide. Happened today and had to reduce the power or I would have lost it completely. I blame the tyres (Pirelli Cinturato) which I don’t like at all. I used to have a 4S with Michelin tyres which was much better however now have a turbo with these ones, so not directly comparable. When I slid I am not sure if the road was slightly damp or not, but when I came home the grip still wasn’t great. 10 deg C outside, dry, tyres warm (pressure had risen a bit). Time to go back to Michelin I think

i have the Redshift upgrade on my Turbo S and notice more power yet no tire slip (Michelin Pilot 4S)

This can't be a tire issue but a TC issue.
This is extremely dangerous with the torque of an electric car in this type of season....
Please do yourself and your family a favor and visit a Porsche workshop asap.

To be fair, traction control finds grip after about 1 second, but it does take 1 second for it to stabilize

I think it’s more about acceleration control. The Turbo and Turbo S can be a bit twitchy (all high-powered cars are), so you might need to modulate your accelerator pedal input for better traction and overall control of the car.

Not with my skill level.

I rarely see the traction-control light come on, but it sure can be a little bit twitchy when you floor it at low speed/stop.
I have 21", goodyears in front and some cheap(er) non NF0 Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 in the back.
Make sure your tyre pressures are within spec, over-inflating them may give better range but will make them spin more often.
With temps dropping, its going to get worse to get those performance summer tires to stick.

You must be a hit at parties.

775 torque with zero lag will do that, 4WD or not

Looks like I got Pirelli PZeros. Not sure if those are good or ?
