    Taycan Brakes fail in wet conditions - NHTSA complaint March 2, 2023

    yes but that's regular or constant brake pedal issues. Mine (and others who experienced it) is just in these rainy situations. People who reported that didn't report the rain issues. what i'm saying to you is - most people who reported almost dying from the lack of brakes in the rain - also...

    Taycan Brakes fail in wet conditions - NHTSA complaint March 2, 2023

    final question/response - i'm not saying i have a soft/limp/etc brake pedal at all times (minds out of the gutters everyone) - i'm saying that when my car has the issue where it won't stop in the heavy water instances - that at those times, the brake pedal has the soft/limp issue. like it's...

    Taycan Brakes fail in wet conditions - NHTSA complaint March 2, 2023

    so am i paraphrasing correctly - jam the _____ on the brakes 4-5 times when you first get into the car, and you haven't experienced it since doing that? i've had this brake issue happen at the end of a medium length trip when the other 15 stops were fine, i am fairly certain it's rain (or water...

    Taycan Brakes fail in wet conditions - NHTSA complaint March 2, 2023

    i drive like a granda's grandma in the rain to avoid having this issue i went a LONG WHILE without heavy rains - and there were a few updates - i thought it was fixed with an OTA update. but alas - i did experience it again in the last month or so what chaps my @$$ the most about this - is...

    Taycan headlight alignment?

    i thnk this is as by design - stating what "allroadusa" said a little differently - many cars aim the driver side (left for you) a little lower so as not to shine in oncoming driver's eyes, but the other side a little higher so you can see further and not blind people at least that's the case...

    Brake (Rear) Light bar not illuminating

    believe it or not, i don't often press my brake light and then run around the car so fast i can see what it looks like while it's illuminated. i'm ALMOST that fast. almost followed my wife in my car today - and noticed the large light bar wasn't lighting when the brakes were pressed i see...

    Anyone looking at the new Lotus Eletre as an alternative to the Taycan?

    BLAH. i hate hearing this. But i love hearing this. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. How did you feel about the looks in person? in videos i like it a lot from certain angles - others i'm not sure about. I see you're in the USA - how the heck did you find one to drive? Do the Lotus...

    Anyone looking at the new Lotus Eletre as an alternative to the Taycan?

    LOL - i've seen the video reviews, read them, etc. Car journalists sometimes come from a weird place (doesn't that one start with one of the reviewers in a tree making gorilla noises) Let me re-state: "I'd love to hear from a TAYCAN OWNER who's had a chance to spend a little time with an...

    Anyone looking at the new Lotus Eletre as an alternative to the Taycan?

    we won't see these for another year in the states - i'd love to hear from anyone who's seen them in person or actually driven one. Also not sure how it'll work in the states with so few lotus dealers and none near me... HOPEFULLY by the time they make it across the pond they'll have worked...

    How many would buy again?

    I have a slightly different view about this than many of these answers. I agree with: -Love the car, love how practical and how great a daily driver it is (when it works) -i dont' know what i'd ever move to - i'm HOPING the Lotus electric SUV and sedan look great in person - i can't tell with...

    Private plates - cheesy or cool?

    i think it's highly regional. In the US - the state (sorry, COMMONWEALTH) of virginia everyone has them - they give you NINE letters - NINE is crazy. I only get SIX in my state. Depends on if you want to blend in or stand out. I kind of want to blend in in the Taycan in case i blow through...

    'Place Hands on Wheel' Message

    i must have a light grip- i've gotten this on our Volvo, Audi, and now Porsche. to me it's a simple squeeze. i guess i barely have a finger or two on the wheel (mainly highway) and when it gives this warning i jsut squeeze the wheel - without rotating it at all, and it goes away i'm not...

    What is your TRUE mileage?

    i haven't spent much time with that part of the app before - very interesting. but no - it's no where consistent with what i got (for those two trips). I found the trip from Jan where i got home with 3 miles left - it's telling me- 198miles, 2.7 mi/kWh - as an aside - it's saying 48 mph avg -...

    What is your TRUE mileage?

    stock 4s. stock wheels - but not aero - they are 21" - the black and silver ones - still have my summer tires on for the trip a few weeks ago.. i don't live on these boards. i read them occasionally - don't crucify me for this - i was under the impression (read? was told? imagined?) that...

    What is your TRUE mileage?

    I agree with the comment - as long as your driving is similar, it's fairly accurate. I'm 2 years 20k miles as well - 2021 4s i mainly mainly do city driving - in the off chance i have 100% highway driving - it drops FAST. i had a trip to get my kid from an airport 88.3 miles away. Round...

    Reverse beep

    Keith/KTC - is a friend playing a practical joke on you? One can buy backup light bulbs for most cars that beep when they're on (which is only when you're backing up) which is an INSTANT easy back-up beep gag. we used to do it to friends that were bad parkers. Lolololol I don't know they...

    Homelink Shortcuts Not Available When Using Backup Camera

    i think this is a design issue and decision. They don't want ANYTHING else on the screen when backup camera is on - i have overhead camera and homelink as my two star shortcuts (diamond shortcuts) - and do what you say- but using the shortcut diamonds makes it quick and painless
