New 2025 Taycan - the little things that are different...

[KenR]

Today I drove my GT and I loved every friggin second of it. There are negative things happening all around us, and I truly believe that we are better off focusing on the positive.

I can’t answer your questions. Users like @whitex, with more technical skill and arcane knowledge, might chime in and provide you with answers.

I don't have a 2025 Taycan, but more than likely the ISA is a software feature which can be enabled/disabled via software settings. It may have it's own ON/OFF toggle, or it may be tied to a region setting somewhere. If the latter, it could make it a bit tricky to change, as such region settings often control more than one feature at the same time, so changing it may change other features.

The two tone disaster is enough for me not to buy.............dreadful, really, really awful. What on earth were they thinking? Taking some of the IT guys pills I guess...........

I like tuboshite, it goes well with Volcano Grey but may clash with other colours. Looks good on a black leather interior. All subjective as any colour/style!

I love Turbonite. And you're right, it looks good with Volcano Grey. I've just ordered a Macan Turbo with Turbonite trim and the Turbonite RS Spyder rims, and it was based entirely on seeing a Volcano Grey Macan Turbo in the showroom, which looked stunning.

You can programme the diamond button to deactivate the acoustic speed warning. It's annoying but very simply to turn off.

Good. to change menus in the instrument cluster you just roll the wheel, no more roll then click.

Good. The new battery status / charging menu in instrument cluster.
....

In the week I had a loaner I actually didn't rate these.

Prefer the old display change method... Couldn't remember the order in which screens presented, so it was ultimately slower to change for me.

Couldn't see what you could usefully do with the charging display.

Good. It has a dedicated next song button. You can have the diamond as last song, to get almost equal features as in my previous cheep cars. (The lack of steering wheel buttons is really hurting me, just for a sleek design...)

Good. It has a colour wheel for ambient light.

Bad. It probably uses new tire pressure sensors, so old wheels are not compatible? (Needs to be checked, but different part numbers where already found)

Good. You can set ISA to with tolerance which makes it closer to real speed.

Best thing ever… I can choose the colour of the app icon on my iPhone. This makes all the difference Turbonite icon anyone?

what is this menu function??

 

[RacingDuck]

I only have the German manual, I'll try a translation:
Settings -> Assistance systems (ADAS) -> Speed warning -> Speed limit for warning -> With Tolerances

This is remembered, fixed 5 kph or 10 kph get reset.

This will allow for up to 5 kph overspeed.
My experience so far:
Up to 50 kph: 2 kph
50 to 100 (maybe 90) kph: 3 kph
100 (maybe 90) to 120: 4 kph
120 to unknown: 5 kph

I haven't measured GPS speed to see how close it really is.

I just picked up my new 2025 CT, from my dealer in the U.S. It does not warn me when I exceed the speed limit. (I did try the experiment - for science!)

This feature is an EU spec feature. In US you'd have to figure out a way to enable it. California legislature passed a law to require it, but the governor vetoed it.

Nice, where did you find the menu/option to do this? I cannot see it (using Apple iOS).

In the setting menu of the app

Account (app lower right corner) -> Settings -> App icon

I don’t have the option
