The square bar is 60x60 mm aluminium. I have bought profiles from a german company https://www.alu-messing-shop.de/aluminium/ I not sure 3 mm thick is enough. The bending stiffness and strength is no problem, but the torsional stiffness might be an issue (as mentioned). You might also consider...

I haven't done any upgrades. But if I would do it over again I would probably go for a tow hook like Albion suggested. I finally got the Porsche carrier, but I haven't used it since mine is much lighter and quicker to attach :) I bought the aluminum from here...

My CT was delayed in 2021 from August To November and I got the bike rack for free as a compensation.

you use a mix of water and alcohol (1:2 or 1:4 dependent on the temperature). It also helps cleaning away the nasty mix of wet snow, salt and dirt that you get sprayed with. You will find loads of wind screen washing fluid at every gas station in Scandinavia. -17 C here today and the washing...

Standard in Scandinavia.

I thought that I opt for a slightly different angle. It also gave me a black stripe for free :)

Yes, and the best combination is where torque times rpm is at max, i.e. at max power.

I think some of the confusion comes from looking at two different things: the engine and a moving system (the car). In the engine are torque and power directly correlated to each other and, as jhenson29 has pointed out, the power curve can be directly derived from the torque curve and vice...

As mentioned are the pipes 48 mm in diameter. I had to reduce the diameter by a few tenths of a mm with a belt sander to fit the receivers. The outer part is just a M10 bolt through the pipe that locks the horizontal bar. You can use a standard nut to fasten it. But the handles are more...

Yes, that might be an even better solution. In addition to keeping the Thule intact, it will also be easier to disassemble into smaller pieces. You might even be able to use it to tow light loads shorter distances :)

Waiting for the Porsche rack* I decided to make one myself. Since I already had a basic Thule rack that I used on my previous car (with towing hook). I thought I could use it to simplify things. It turned out to be relatively easy and I only used a drill and a saw. I used two 48 mm aluminum...

No, but it was full to the roof :) I also reluctant to post images that could upset sensitive visitors (those who treat their Taycan as a gem rather than as a high speed garbage truck).

We are moving after 30 years, which requires clearing the attic (sigh!). This meant driving 30 large shopping bags with books (mostly for youngsters) to a charity. My "large station wagon" (the CT) managed to get everything in one go :)

Maybe people expect it to work? I use it daily to preheat and it works about 40% of the time (same with the old app).

You also get better 80-120 acceleration with the PB+, which I think is more important than the 0-100 acc.

I have a CT4s without Sports Crono (I don’t like the hump either). I don’t have a sports+ car setting, but I have a sports+ chassis setting.

A classic Pikes Peak video in real “gravel mode” :)

I have a 2021 CT without sports crono and the button says “sports”. I also prefer to have sports instead of gravel easily accessible. My guess is that they put Gravel on the button on the demo cars that they lent to reviewers to highlight the new option. And judging from the videos I haven...

22 kW can be useful, but marginally so I would say. 22 kW is not enough for a charge only stop or even a lunch. On the other hand is 11 kW enough for an overnight charge. I didn't take the 22 kW, but I didn't think so much about it when ordering. If you have a 3x25 A main fuse you won't be able...

It had the same thought, but the workshop that change my tires strongly advised against it. The also checked with Porsche that said the same thing. The car is design to have different sizes front and back.
