2 days with my new Taycan Sport Turismo GTS

[DK1987]

Hello All, I've been following this forum silently for the last months when ordering my CT 4s, finding tons of useful inputs.
My CT 4s was supposed to arrive this month but dealer advised me about general delays and new ETA not before May -_-

I decided to cancel my order and get this ST GTS (stock car just arrived last week) after testing it for few hours.

I previously owned different M's Bmw and my last car was a 992 2s. When I tried a CT 4s last year I was impressed about handling, grip and power..and of course all the other nice feelings that you can't find on different car brands.

Cons regarding my ST GTS after 2 days:
InnoDrive and road signs recognition doesn't work well in Switzerland (not part of EU and some road signs might not be "standard")
Lower than my 992 and in Range Mode/Low setting, easy to slide on some speed bumps

Pros
Feels faster than the 4s, just few hp more but I guess torque makes somehow the difference with EVs
Average consumption around 20,5kW/100km when driving "normally"
Great interior details with GTS interior package


Questions for the experts:
What's the difference between ECO and ECO+ (ventilation/AC)?
Are all the new Taycan's 21' delivered with GoodYear's?
Approved 21' Winter tyres are still not available, correct? What about All seasons?

Thanks and cheers from Switzerland

Lovely looking vehicle, congrats!

Looks awesome. Glad you are pleased as I have a GTS ST on order

hi there. welcome and car looks fantastic. Im driving an ST GTS too, and just about approaching 1000kms in mine. My power consumption is similar to yours although hoping it will improve as the mileage is added and the climate warms up.

On your questions:
What's the difference between ECO and ECO+ (ventilation/AC)? I think its mainly fan speed/assistance and personally I find ECO+ pretty unusable if there is any moisture around (which there is a lot of in Wales!) and not worth the range-saving. ECO is fine.

Are all the new Taycan's 21' delivered with GoodYear's? Mine was.

Approved 21' Winter tyres are still not available, correct? What about All seasons? Probably a Swiss-market specific question, sorry cant help there.

Hope you keep loving the car.

In Eco-Mode the ventilation is active as in normal Mode, just more efficient. In eco+ ventilation will just get on if required.
21" could be delivered as Pirelli or GoodYear
There are generally no 21" Winter tyres with Porsche Taycan Approval signs NF0 or NF1

Lovely looking car for sure - health to enjoy.

My MY23 car has arrived with Pirelli tyres fitted on the 21'.

I also received Pirellis on my23.

Really hoping the Michelin Pilot EV makes it in taycan sizes soon.

 

[Leverage]

Pirellis R21 on my 23 too

ECO+ is available inRange mode only. IMO, it could be useful only before hot summer and before cold winter.
Don’t know if all 21” comes with goodyear, i had pirelli.
Speaking about winter: my dealer suggested 20” as they are more appropriate on snow.
All seasons in Switzerland? I couldn’t imagine all seasons with your winters….

Congratulations. It is a long wait for sure. I'm not far behind you.

Eco and Eco Plus relate to the usage or not of the AC compressor and the level of air drying.

In Eco mode the use of the compressor is reduced thereby using slightly less energy.

In Range Drive mode you can configure and enable Eco Plus. This reduces the power further of the compressor to the extent that it is effectively disabled. Additionally, if you have rear AC and no rear passengers it will be disabled. Various control settings are also disabled.

Impact is the reduction in drying incoming air and so depending on the ambient air temp can lead to the misting of the windows. Air quality is also impaired.

Suggest to use Eco Plus if running low on juice.

Eco mode on AC has been in vehicles for decades.

Lovely car.
Really like the blue Porsche lettering on the back.....wish I had specced it now.

Nice plate. Did you get it by chance or you can choose your own number in Canton Ticino?

 

[DK1987]

Thanks for all the details
Hope Porsche is finally releasing some 21" NF0 and NF1 for 911s and Taycan

In Svizzera la targa rimane alla persona. Di base vengono assegnate a caso al momento d'acquisto della prima auto. Cosa positiva è che sono trasferibili tra veicoli, si paga quindi 1 solo "bollo" e una sola assicurazione anche avendo piu macchine.
Ci sono poi delle aste pubbliche dove numeri speciali vengono messi in vendita (come questa..).

Bellissima auto!
Io con taycan ct in 8 mila km ho il consumo totale a 24kw/100km, peró faccio quasi tutti i giorni 60km a 110 in superstrada e qualche salita. Non riuscirei mai a stare sui tuoi valori, solo nel traffico extraurbano lo vedo scendere bene.
Complimenti ancora per la bella GTS
