Hi all,
Had my Taycan for six months and 3,800 miles in, loving it so far.
One fairly tiny issue that is bugging me more than it should, though.
When I drive home, go round the back of the house navigating a gravel driveway and do a 3 point turn (so the car is facing the right way to leave later) the car always appears to be in lift mode - leaving a large gap above the wheels - the rear wheel gap looks particularly bad. This has happened when I come home with wife and child in the car - so one backseat occupied (and thus door opened for child to get out).
Even if I manually make sure it's in 'low' it makes no difference. If I force it to lift I hear the hydraulics and feel it lift, then press low and I think it only ever drops it to medium - which just doesn't look good.
I know when I parked it on the street the other day it remained in low (and looked considerably more badass). Note - only I was in the car on that occaision.
Why is it remaining in med/high mode when I park around the back of my house? Could it be:
1: It doesn't like all the slow speed manoeuvring I am doing and thinks there might be obstacles (seems like a bit of a long shot)
2: It does't like parking with passengers in the back - so if they open the door during/after a parking sequence it raises the suspension?
3: My car has a fault meaning it ignores the button press to lower the car.
Has anyone else replicated this? I'm particularly interested about the rear door theory.
