I’m quite bitter inside about this! Only reason I justified the 21 emission/ brake combo was the 10 pot callipers. Gutted when I saw the downgrade, but too far in to change and still wanted the wheels. Very disappointing and even more annoying that the lack of these is causing a delay. Bolt on the 10 pots and deliver my car! !
I was told last week by my dealer that I should be fine with a January 15 production date. I sure hope it doesn't go longer as like most, I have been waiting forever.
My dealer told me that and the production date is for sometime in December, but right now my order has a code that is problematic because of the brakes so the date is not showing.
My dealer just called me, and got off a call with Atlanta. He said, yes, it is starting up again in January, but that there is an 8 week delay on all orders, so that is where he got the Feb/March date that he gave me.
My order was delayed (supposedly) 7 weeks with a in production date of 1/15/2021 and a delivery estimate of 3/5. This was to have been started 11/27 and delivered 2/20 as no 2021 model in the US can be delivered prior to January 1, 2021 (probably because of some US Government rule) as that is the official on sale date for US 2021 Taycans.
Is your 7 week delay now taking you a 1/15/2021 production date? If so, that puts you in the front of the line. My production date is in late December, so my 8 weeks puts my production date much later than yours.
Yes from 11/27 to 1/15. Not sure at the front of any line when we don’t even know if they have PSCB in the bin to use in January.
Well, whatever line, real or imaginary, you are way ahead of me.
I would agree with you, I just don’t see the issue, yes they look a bit smaller but still look cool. The standard steel brakes are just fine, the brakes discs and pads are just not used in general driving so there is little to no dust anyway
I hate to be uninformed here, but can you please explain to me why the discs and pads are not used in general driving?
When you press the brake pedal it is actually starting regen rather than pressing the discs brakes and pads. The Taycan was produce 270kw of regen when braking versus 77kw on a Tesla model 3. Hence the brakes are rarely used. this regen function of the brake pedal is not Dependant on the regen switch selection. I think it produces something like 0.4g retardation before the brake pads start to do there work.
