    🎨 PTS: PAINT TO SAMPLE Taycan Club & Photos Thread

    Looks very different in these pics. https://www.threads.com/@horsepower_hunters/post/DZ0kUF1EfAo?xmt=AQG070ejwQAbgoG5DW9nCnGIXVkF7DU2Jb3zVJ6EAqb-keoJw_SHe95Bh3Me765sssosYJtB&slof=1

    Correct tap for dashcam install-2025 Taycan 4S CT

    Would not mind seeing what the install looks like when complete. Gave up on a Blackvue because it was so impossibly big.

    Pirelli PZero PZ5 vs PZ4

    ... based on the test results on 18" tyres (?) Relevance to vastly different dimensions and load factors is to be considered with care.

    The great J1.2 reliability survey

    One year since delivery and worry-free ownership except for the active ride servo replaced under warranty. No other reliability issues, no notable glitches either other than the very occasional Android Auto brain fart. My only concern at this stage are water stains on the PPF.

    Pirelli PZero PZ5 vs PZ4

    Is anyone running the new PZero PZ5 Elect in 21" ? I am interested in it to replace my PZ4 which only have 4mm of thread left after 12kkm. I like the PZ4 grip and feel, but the main weakness is NVH resonance on rough pavement which can become really bothersome. I would like to retain the grip...

    Project Purple - MY2026 Taycan CT4

    What do you mean by tailhappy ? Prone to power oversteer ?? I find what i interpret to be PTV awesome when cornering out, but i have never felt any hint of snap oversteer. Are you happy with the RWS balance in Normal mode in mid-speed constant radius bumpy curves ? You do not feel the wiggle...

    The Macan EV is not as bad as I thought

    I had a Macan 4 EV loaner for 6 weeks while waiting for parts and found it shockingly bad in comparison with my CT4S J1.2 PAR. Not just the negative impact of a higher center of gravity, but the mushiness of the suspension and the resulting lack of accuracy in mid to high speed curves are...

    Tesla Model S - the car that started it all…

    it is not the first time that Cammisa does a Tesla informercial to clock YT minutes from fanboys. Replete with dad jokes. If you fall for these arguments and lame arguments like the 5000/3000/3% parts argument, you got the content you deserve.

    Tesla Model S - the car that started it all…

    No real understanding of the situation ... Many Tesla proponents came to cars through Model S or Model 3, and have attempted to erect the bizarre tenets of this cult as a counter automotive culture. The flacid attempts to dissociate the Tesla dumpster fire from Musk's proto fascist...

    Tesla Model S - the car that started it all…

    All i can remember is compromised packaging with tragic rear headroom, hilarious understeer, and dubious - bordering on dangerous - aluminum castings. Oh and consumer electronics grade laminated touchscreens, one of many instances of Tesla NIH culture. Model S was novel in ways that are not...

    Taycan CT 4S MY config

    Tropical storm yesterday late afternoon, drove a bit too fast into a deep pool of water. Roads have no drainage here so with the volumes that fall, things can get entertaining. Did not think much of it, but today, at the car wash, both covers were found to have popped out. I could have lost...

    Cayman EV (and Boxster EV) may axed by new CEO Michael Leiters

    On the contrary. He's got every reason to take all the bad news first, and this is the very reason why they took so many write-offs on 2025. Any seasoned exec in his position would do this.

    The great J1.2 reliability survey

    It seems obvious that there are significant improvements on the critical weaknesses of J1.1: - charger failures - heater failures with catastrophic consequences - battery module failures If you take JD Power stats, no brand is below 140 problems per 100 new vehicles in initial quality studies...

    Huge difference in consumption between tires

    Job #1, 2 & 4 of tyres is to maximize longitudinal & lateral grip in the road conditions they are designed for. EV tyres are therefore a dubious choice given the trade-off with a secondary performance indicator (rolling resistance, therefore range). So are all season tyres btw, mediocre at...
