    Wheel regrets?

    The advantage is a turning circle that’s smaller by about 2 ft (60 cm), so if that’s important to you and you have the funds go for it. I didn’t option it and am quite happy with how the car handles (w/ Power Steering Plus). Can’t really comment on the 21” wheels as I have the 20s, but I’m glad...

    Order PDCC -- yay or nay?

    There’s this sinking feeling I’m starting to have that the Taycan might be great to drive even with zero options ticked…

    My Dolomite Silver CT 4 has arrived at the dealer

    I have PSP but not RAS and the steering honestly feels spot on. Don’t miss RAS at all, but also have never tried it. Could also be the fact that I’m coming from a car with a bigger turning radius than the Taycan. As for the comfort access, I might try it through FoD one of these days.

    My Dolomite Silver CT 4 has arrived at the dealer

    Do you know if the loaner had Power Steering Plus? If not, might explain why it didn’t feel as light to steer.

    First Long-Distance Trip In My 3-Week-Old Taycan RWD

    Wow, you really cut it close with 4%! Range anxiety clearly doesn’t get to you. Interested to hear how the rest of the trip goes.

    FoD (Function on Demand) available for 2022 Taycan in US?

    I just ordered ALK as well. Don’t really know what to expect, but the first 3 months are free, so might as well try some of these features out!

    Mercedes locks faster acceleration behind a yearly $1,200 subscription - The Verge

    It was pretty egregious IMHO when they locked rear wheel steering behind a paywall, seems they’re going ever further in the same direction

    GTS Sport Turismo Build Slot Offered

    Haven’t driven the GTS, but the 4S is so good that I’d think twice before going through with the order-wait process again (with the attendant uncertainty of whether the car will have a 12V battery, Bose/Burmester or whatever the key missing component in the future will be)

    Condensation after PPF

    I’ve seen this too in my new ’23, both headlamps. A cursory forum search led me to believe it is normal. Maybe to do with taking it outdoors after being stored inside?

    Dealer Goodies at delivery?

    I got a bottle of champagne too, but not Porsche branded! I wonder if they brew it at the factory in Zuffenhausen? (No, I don’t know how champagne is made)

    Adding power charge port sensor to non-power door?

    I feared malfunction, particularly during deep winter, so I de-specced the powered door… Although the drawback with the manual door is that it protrudes quite a bit when open.

    Adding power charge port sensor to non-power door?

    The charge port door looks better flush with the surface IMHO, although the powered door action itself is very cool :cool:

    Watch collectors - let's talk watches here!

    The Sea-Dweller is a chunky boy. But at least you’d be getting a Rolex at retail. If it doesn’t fit your wrist I suppose you could flip it without taking a hit? Would buying the watch bump you up on a waitlist at the AD for a Sub?

    Anyone done Xpel PPF on Carrera White?

    So the high pressure water jets at the car wash haven’t made the film begin to peel off? I’m just having PPF installed and I’m new to this whole PPF game.

    Range in cold temperature weather

    I would second this - the detriment to battery longevity will be negligible and far outweighed by the reduced risk of being stranded and having to call a tow truck.

    Should Cyclist's help the economy and pay road tax and have insurance

    Good thing your previous PM and chancellor’s plan didn’t go through, otherwise pedestrians would soon be charged for walking on the pavement to pay for it… ;)

    Pink Wrapped Taycan

    Like a cherry blossom, well done 👍 Anything planned for the stock wheels?

    LED Matrix Headlights

    And while you’re at it, figure out how to code the base PLDS+ headlights to have the matrix function for those of us who couldn’t spec them because of component shortages… Or maybe I’ll just duct tape a couple dozen of these on the hood and program a Raspberry Pi to operate them in a matrix...

    Major Taycan accomplishment thanks to this forum 🛒

    That it’s a big pick-up truck parked next to an EV something tells me this might not have been accidental…? o_O

    Jet Metallic Black PPF finish

    Matte black runs the risk of appearing a bit cheap, I would go gloss…
