I highly recommend getting this Road & Track Volume. 23 California edition from their website.

It includes a few guides to canyon drives in the Angeles Crest mountains.
Missing is CA 33, but that's very straightforward.

Of Course Good Vibes at Newcombs Ranch Friday mornings.

Yes!
- ACH has an EA in La Canada, going up Big Tajunga
- Azusa has an EA station in San Dimas
- Lake Hughes has an EA station at the base off Newhall ranch road
- Ojai has an EA by the Ojai Valley Inn, right before the fun roads start

I see you are in Norcal, but ping me if you are down this way. I'm pretty sure ill be doing Good Vibes this Friday

Haha nice. I do come down to Socal with the Taycan, but typically with the family for a family trip, so it'll be difficult to do this.

If you come to Bay Area, I can send you a few driving suggestions

I've only driven the Taycan once spiritedly in the mountains. It definitely takes some time to get used to the weight of the vehicle and to have confidence on the braking performance. The car accelerates incredibly fast, it's very difficult to judge the speed. I'm pretty sure this car is quicker than my 997.1 GT3, but it doesn't feel like it is.

Picture from my recent mountain drive.

You feel the weight, but the instant torque from the EV power train makes up for it
