The several variables at play here. The primary is summer or all season tires? I am certain most of you are not using 19 inch wheels. At 27k miles I just changed the tires on my 19s. The fronts were at the wear limit and the rears could have gone another 5k miles, but I wanted to switch to...
This past summer I was on a road trip up the Pacific Coast highway. There was stretch where I wanted to bridge from the EA stations in Crescent City, CA to Newport, OR – a trip of about 230 miles. The recommended routing with ABRP was to leave US 101 to recharge in Grants Pass or some other EA...
I have noticed something similar whenever I drive near a specific cell phone(?) in my area. It seems to disrupt the wireless connection between my iPhone and the PCM. Happens every time I drive by the tower.
I agree with Lazy. In Range mode on a 4S, the bias is towards a front wheel drive and you feel the traditional front wheel drive understeer. In contrast with Normal or Sport modes, you start with a rear wheel drive bias and you can apply "Big Pedal" steering inputs. This latter ability...
A few weeks ago I was driving at night in an isolated portion of I-90 between Ellensburg and Yakima in Eastern Washington State where the East and West bound portions of the highway can be widely separated, I noticed that my Matrix headlights were automatically shifting between high beams and...
@evanevery In the year since you shared your post, have you seen improvements in software and availability of EA chargers? I have only driven in Washington and Oregon, and while I have seen EA chargers that appear to be "down" - the green perimeter lights are not illuminated, all the EA...
This reminds me of cases where Porsche Dealers are claiming suspension and powertrain issues will not be covered if we used tires that are not rated "NO1."
Since this thread has shifted to the stock market and financial advice, I thought I would point out that ChargePoint, EVGo and other EV charging infrastructure stocks jumped on the Infrastructure Bill. Have any of you seen what this means for Electrify America's charging network?
Thanks in...
Yes, if I understand your question, we cannot simply do a front-rear exchange because the tire widths are different. If the tires are not directional, there can be a simple left-right wheel exchange. Perhaps this is possible with All Season tires. Most Summer Tires are probably directional...
I have yet to be stoped in while driving my Taycan 4S by a highway patrol officer. I have collected plenty of "pay to play" certificates while driving my Carrera S. At least the US rescinded the 55 MPH National Maximum Speed Limit in 1995!
Cheers,
Do you miss pulling into a gas station to fill up, and while the tank is filling, you have the nearby windshield washer bucket, and time to use the windshield cleaning tool with the sponge/bug strip on one side and the rubber squeegee on the other side?
Have you all taken to bringing windshield...
Based on information from this forum, I scheduled my update about 2 weeks before the Porsche/NHTSA safety recall notice arrived. When I first scheduled the appointment, my dealer thought the update could take to up to 4-6 hours. When I checked in for the update two days ago, the service...
I agree with Dan (Genau). I ordered my Taycan 4S with 19 inch rims and All Seasons. Once those wear out I will replace them with dedicated Winters and buy an additional set of 20 inch rims with Summers. In the snow, winter tires actually work better with the narrower cross sections that are...
Wow! Just like the Starship Enterprise. You can divert power to propulsion, life support, shields, or weapons(?!). Of course, Sport Plus mode indicate priority on propulsion.
As Spock would note, "Interesting"
Cheers
I am sure EV veterans know this, but I really appreciate that unlike ICE cars,, we don't have radiators that heat up the garage. I live in the US Pacific Northwest and we are entering a 10 day period of 100-118 degree F high temperatures.
My Taycan will also be my life raft in case there are...
Richard: I am curious,. Are you going to add ceramic coating and PPF? If so are you going with your Bellevue Porsche dealer or some other nearby shop? My Taycan 4S will be arriving at the same dealership in 2 months.
Thanks
