The up arrows are when accelerating, down for decelerating, 0 through 3 are from lowered to raised all the way.
For example, launch control starts at first position up.

Definitely huge improvements.

But I did notice the facelift on the video still has the teardrop look on the headlights. Thought they did away with that....have to find some pics in the wild
Huge improvements?
0.2 sec 0-60
0.5 sec ¼ mile
10 mph higher trap speed (139 vs 129)?
All for $100,000+ price difference vs. slightly used Turbo S ('20-'22)?

The magnetic plate has double sided tape. Stick it here, put the GPS unit on it.
but it will look ugly over there and taking it off at some point will leave marks forever :(
and i 've got the DRG70, but it flips between "low satellite" or no connection and i live in an open area.

Yes huge improvements! 0-60 is more an indication of traction management than outright performance. And 0.2 second improvement from 2.6 seconds is quite a huge improvement.
Other metrics are much much improved also.

Now price was not a.factor in the improvements. And you cannot compare a new car to a.used car price to determine the merits of performance improvements.
There are quite a few options that are cheaper than a Porsche even a used one (a 2021 plaid for.instance is faster and cheaper)

It doesn't permanently stick. It's removable
I use the Dragy only for testing, then remove it

I understand about how it looks. That's why I don't even use my radar detector

Where does he mount the draggy do you think?
I have to find out if gluing the magnetic pad on top of my dashboard is necessary or not?
I am getting "low satellites" message on my draggy all the time.
Same here. I used some tape and put it on the windscreen outside. Not ideal. Is there a good place to put the dragy? Perhaps near the mirror / top console.

Some Dragy times with the Facelift Taycan Turbo S


- 0-100km: 2.4sec
- 100-200km: 5 sec (2 sec improvement over current Taycan Turbo S)
- 1/4mile: 9.83sec.

Plaid still much faster because the Turbo S has less HP when not in overboost




This is a tired comparison.

get the corresponding windshield mount available on Amazon and attach it to the glass roof if you have that option on your car. I have the insulated windshield as well and was getting no sat message when I had mounted it on the windshiel. Once I attached it to the glass roof no further issue.

Do all Taycans retract the rear spoiler when launching? I didn’t know that…
You mean "extend".

"Retract" is when it goes back in.

I know the perfect numbers of Plaids, but those are in special Plaid mode with horribe pre-heating procedure and fans running like hell.
What are the Plaid accelleration numbers when you take your Plaid out of the garage at 20°C with 75% SoC?

I placed the Dragy in the back seat area, wedged against the rear window, with no tape or magnets or other mounting method. Then I forgot about it for a few weeks - and it was still in place. Thinking about it, a GPS doesn't need to be mounted at the front of the car at all, just somewhere where it won't move and has good visibility to the GPS satellites.
