Coming from a Tesla, I have to say that the gear shift is more noticeable than I thought it would be. I haven't experimented with it enough, but it seems like there is a difference in the shift timing depending on the mode you are in (normal, sport, sport plus). I've found that when I'm in normal mode and I come onto the highway at 30-40mph and then put the accelerator all the way down, there can be a significant hesitation in power during the shift. It also seems like the shift happens at different speeds and different points during acceleration, I'm not sure why that would be - before I drove the car I assumed it would always be at low speeds as it was mainly for the fast launch ability combined with better accelerations at high speeds.
The smoothness of the transmission is one of the main appealing factors of an EV for me so this is a bit of a negative for me. I already find myself looking forward to the second generation Taycan and I've only had the car for a month.
Is this normal? Is it affected by the modes? Is there a way to always start the car in Sport Plus mode?
