    disable auto shutdown after a while?

    Anyone found better methods? I've been opening and closing the door every 30 mins to avoid the auto-shutdown.

    Broken DC Flap Causes Bad Charging Day

    @DerekS Since your little flap seems to be intact, do you think the piece of plastic that prevented charing came from the previous person who tried that dock?

    Do you think they'll allow my 7 yr old son in with my supervision?

    Time for New Tires

    What do you think of Tyre review data? (Link below). I think as far as internet data goes, this channel provides as objective as possible data. I never even knew the OE spec of the same brand tyre of the same size were different until I saw this video. So I'm pretty happy with my NF0 spec...

    Where is the cabin air filter?

    Taycan : Braking for more 🤓🤔 -- How the Taycan gets by without a larger brake system—thanks to recuperation

    I think what RWD blending strategy expressed in this chart would be something like this red curve. In other words, you'd have to brake with less input to recoup the same amount of kinetic energy. It'll be interesting to draw this chart whether the car is in 1st or 2nd gear. I suspect there...

    Actual ownership cost to own a Taycan

    I'm curious how you calculated the $4k opportunity cost and whether you've factored in the absurd inflation. :D My insurance is $1500/yr. Northern California. Zero electricity cost (EA, free charge at work) @ 20 kWh/100km Maintenance: only one brake fluid change $300 Tires sound about right

    Odd Tire Wear at 13K Miles

    I'll add to the thread with my data points. This is after 18k miles of daily med-hard driving, biweekly mountain runs in Northern California (Highway 9). The inside is consistently wearing faster than outside just like everyone else. I measured the treads remaining for your reference. I...

    Odd Tire Wear at 13K Miles

    and if I remember correctly, you did NOT opt to do a re-alignment when you switched to the Michelin PS4S, right? I think I'm gonna do the same as well. The relative high camber seems to be intentional and common amongst our Taycans. As long as the wear is similar on L/R sides I suppose it's fine.

    How many Amps are used in Launch control

    Your math looks right if it's a single DC motor. But it's AC and 3 phases x Front/Rear, so... actual instantaneous current will be more complicated depending on how they quoted the 560kW output number. this article (great read) also quotes some peak current numbers for the front and rear...

    EV Tires Education - Performance vs. Efficiency (by Motortrend)

    This independent test by Tire Reviews on Youtube also gives a different perspective. Instead of EV tires vs normal tires, he compares ECO tires vs its mainstream tire (same marketing name).

    [SOLD] 20-inch Taycan aero rims with black center caps

    1) I presume this doesn't come with the tires? (worth asking). 2) Nice new wheels. Did you notice any real world range degradation?
