    Driver Control Required message

    When I was last in for maintenance, the tech told me that 2020 sensed your hands resisting the wheel movement (torque?) and 2021 and beyond have capacitance sensors in the 10 and 2 positions. So if you drive with your hands at 6 position as a example, it thinks you don't have your hands on the...

    Yes, or just use the brakes, it is all recoup. If I am cruising the hills, i like the feel of the rcoup.

    271 miles! 100% charged. What’s your range shown?

    Highway, no recouperation or auto reupe if there is traffic. In town, no recoup. On PCA tour through hills, recoup on (gives me a little feel of engine braking). Going up and down hills in the country seemed to keep the battery in pretty good charge.

    New Taycan and new Panamera under one roof ….our debate is underway!

    Two different 4 doors for 2 different purposes. Both great cars in their own right. Panamera 4 has bigger interior and 630 miles range, with a liftback. Taycan 4S has smoother ride, amazing acceleration and 270 mile range. Long trips are in Pan 4, PCA tours are in the Taycan 4S. We like...

    First real OTA update for the Taycan 2020 and 2021 happening April 27th…

    Followup Comment. Two days later, everything looks sorted out. All functions work. In fact, internet radio seems faster to connect now. I wonder if every time you select an internet related function (radio, Apple Play, the delay is due to the car validating the account with the server.

    First real OTA update for the Taycan 2020 and 2021 happening April 27th…

    2021 4S. I dutifully followed the instructions (written/video). After logging back in I lost all internet related connectivity (internet radio, Apple Music grayed out). It said that the PCM was in privacy mode, althought the setting said that privacy mode was disabled. Internal wifi...

    Taycan Made Better?

    Don't know what improvement number we are up to, but .. Some driver display positives from my Panamera that should be applied to the Taycan: 1) It would be less distracting if you could roll through each tube selection on the driver's display, rather than roll through a list of displays and...

    Has anyone used a surge protector on the charger?

    You can add a whole house surge protector to your electric panel. Two of them (1 for each 110v side) install like breakers and have a green LED that indicates they are operating. They just need to be matched to your panel. Good for the entire house. .

    Driver Control Required message

    I discussed this with the Taycan Tech at my dealer about this, he told me the MY20 uses force feedback on the steering wheel to detect user steering interaction. He said Porsche switched to capacitive detection in the steering wheel that detects the hands at 9 and 3 o'clock position (probably...

    My Views After Test Driving RWD & 4S Both today!

    As for brake pads, as others have said, you will hardly use the pads. Regen is there for 95% of your braking. I did a rally with PCA on the back roads to West Virginia. At each stop, all the other participants (i was the only Taycan) were astounded that my brake rotors were ambient...

    Has Adaptive Cruise Control including Active Lane Keeping improved yet ?

    ALK and ACC work better on my Taycan than on my Volvo V90 CC. No complaints.
