Good point, I was thinking this as well. I need to double check but believe the turbo does and the 4s does not. Will verify and update thank you very much.

YES the Turbo had PDCC but the 4s did not. We will test drive another Turbo S on Tuesday, let’s see how she feels. I know o can google it but I’d might as well ask someone how knows…can you turn off PDCC in settings?

Do either the 4S or the Turbo have the performance pack with PDCC and RWS? PDCC creates a bit of a “skyhook” effect by dampening roll and pitch. RWS changes the yaw vector as well. I have it and love it but neither me or my wife suffer from motion sickness.

always on, but it functions differently depending on whether you are in normal, sport, or sport plus
for those who got sick at porscheexperience, don't feel bad-one of the sickness cases they had was a current fighter pilot

Nobody has had motion sickness in my Taycan.
Neither my son nor I, who shared the Porsche experience, had any there either.

Are you driving all these cars on the same route and in the same style? I'm surprised that one of them isn't triggering sickness when the others are. Having driven Turbo (no PDCC) and Turbo S (with PDCC) examples at up to 1.3g's in both longitudinal and lateral axes, back to back on the same track, I didn't notice any significant difference in pitch and roll- the Taycan handles fairly flat anyway- though the PDCC seemed to enabled faster cornering. Did the Taycans have the same wheels and tyres?
EDIT- my wife is generally prone to motion sickness, but the only time she's experienced it in the Taycan is when she's not watching where we're going and she's not anticipated a g-loading (this is despite my efforts to drive even more smoothly with her as a passenger).

Ionizer. Particularly when the car is new and mixing with off-gassing of materials in the vehicle. Keep the rear windows rolled down a little while driving without HVAC on.
See if any different results.

The sensations that you and your wife experienced may definitely be related to low blood sugar or an empty stomach, but it seems that suspension and ride dynamics may play a more important role.

It's worth trying the smoother settings you've already experimented with and shorter trips to see if acclimatization helps. Some people even recommend paying attention to motion sickness bands or using techniques that focus on visual cues outside the car to stabilize perception.

Knowing so much about how to maintain your health, consider becoming a doctor? lol. By the way, anyone who wants to pursue a career in healthcare should ask themselves a great question: Are you good enough to become a licensed practical nurse?
