Tesla M3P, Taycan on order

I have placed an order for a Sport Tourismo GTS, as far as I can tell it has the same ground clearance as the saloon/sedan, am I correct?

I'm borrowing a CT this week to see if I can get it on my driveway but I'm aware that these have a different ride height. If I can reverse up the drive with it in Sport+ I think it's all good, otherwise I'm going to have to dig up the drive and lower it or move house ? I've found a few threads about ride heights but nothing definitive about the GTS and max/min height.

My current Tesla M3P is fine with the angles but I couldn't reverse my Golf GTE up it. We have a steep camber on the road followed by a steep driveway in the other direction. I'll report back once the experiment is done, might be useful for other Tesla migrants.

This may help - but it does not give the overhang to compare to other cars - but when comparing between taycan models then the overhangs should be the same. GTS will be the same as saloon and ST.

You’re not going to be able to reverse ‘up’ anything in Sport+ (ie the lowest setting) in a sedan or ST. It’s crazy low and will scrape everywhere. You will need to hit the little magic button to activate the lift and then save the location.

Happy days, I reverse up in lowest setting so lift mode should be fine with the GTS.

I'm quite surprised how jerky it is reversing uphill though compared to my Tesla with hold mode, will have to dig deeper into the settings and see if anything is missing, it does show HOLD on the display in reverse ?

You can't configure Hold and feathering of the throttle can cause it to activate just when you don't want it to. I'm sure you'll master it.

Found this thread after searching for ground clearance of my GTS ST.

I can confirm, do not put it in low :)
