Rear wheel steering in the Taycan

[NewPdude]

Hello all! I’m approaching the change freeze point (3/31/22) and seriously considering adding rear wheel steering (or possibly the performance package) to the car. Just curious if this is a must have (never driven a car with it) and what it adds to the driving experience. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Tick the box - great for parking and low speed manoeuvres - power steering plus bundled (a must on its own) - superb handling car so you likely won't notice much at speed.

There are a few posts here discussing this. The gist is if you can afford it, do it. I have no first hand experience with RWS, but after reading here added it to my car. Bottom line is it improves handling and is very handy in small spaces.

Has your change freeze date changed at all on TYD?

Yes it has… originally 3/19. Then changed to 4/19 last Tuesday, yesterday 3/31 and the delivery date has now slid 21 days. Placed the order on 1/28/22

Without hijacking this topic, I’m wondering why some TYDs work and others have no date… (mine is blank)

Interesting… the TYD has always shown the complete timeline whenever I’ve signed in to my acct. Now I can say that the dealer/SA has shown different dates on their system when I’ve called in. This was mostly to make changes (I’ve made three so far). As of yesterday they are identical.

+1.
it’s much easier to park (or turn) Taycan with RWS than shorter cars without that.
go for it, you won’t regret.

We don't have the service in UK so don't sweat it!

I have it, makes definitely worth it. Maneuverability is great, really notice it when you have to do a u-turn! Definitely makes it feel a smaller car than it really is when throwing it into a tight corner….

Add the whole Performance Package. You won’t regret it.

My only regret as I didn't spec it. I use park assist all the time but occasionally it has trouble like when evil pedestrians walk by really close causing an abort so I have to manually parallel park.

Definitely worth going for with significant benefits at manoeuvring speeds but noticeably more nimble, say when you go through a roundabout at speed. Seems to take 500kg of weight off the car.
