I cannot believe you haven't done it yet! When I pick mine up at ATL PEC I'll be on it!

I've had my MY21 TTS for over 3 months now. I found a long stretch of road with no people (Due to COVID and company work from home rules). I go there every weekend (with my kids) and do a few launch controls. Must have done 40-50 (if not more) by now. This is not counting the times where I have taken friends and family for a ride.
I enjoy it as much as my kids. Haven't got bored of it yet.

The only drawback is the tires are showing the wear with less than 3000 miles on the odometer.

Circa 500 launches and you'll have to go to Porsche and have them inspect the vehicle before they re-enable launch control. Just fyi.

I've yet to launch it. Not a lot of places to try it out nearby, and I refuse to do it on a public road.

Under considerable social pressure from @feye...

What are other forum members' experiences with launch control? Is it a gimmick which wears thin after a couple of times? Or is it an integral part of the Taycan's lasting identity? Would a Taycan Turbo S launch even be comfortable?
Glad did jump into the built-in roller coaster.

I think every Porsche EV must have LC - it's a sports car brand...

I found the TTS at Hockenheim track without LC brutal. Shocking and thrilling at the same time. My 4S+ with RAS and PTV+ is perfect for daily driving and eating corners...
