Dropped off mine for a scheduled Transport damage repair today and attached this TSB (Long Brake Pedal Travel) and 2 others to check on (HV battery update and Compressor mounts). Will report back on the outcome.
Off topic but: They gave me a 992 S to drive that is for sale with 5K miles or so. I have never owned or driven one, thinking, if I do then I will want one. They said given my status they can get me one (not the GT3 kind, which would not be anything like that), that surprised me given many years wait everyone else is reporting. A 10-mile drive from the dealership to home was very underwhelming, as I am looking for a smooth/comfy daily driver with fun and power to go around town (lots of round abouts and ramps to do so). Lots of drama with engine noise (not pleasant to my ears in sound, frequency, or vibration feedback), and PDK shifts super quick, but the shifts are felt in the seat, sluggish at low speeds, and the only way to get the power is to keep it revved up which is not possible in slow going around town traffic, even with stretches of longer 60mph roads. I guess I am too young and/or too stupid to appreciate this thing (Judd Apatow story comes to mind when he bought one and then returned it right away), so I was thinking to myself, Taycan is just way too much fun to drive and nothing with wheels should be doing this, where in this 922 S, I was thinking, I do not get it, certainly not for me for daily driving and for sure not be relaxing for a weekend stroll, which is when I see most of them around town. I felt the same way when they gave me a Cayenne GT, a lot of drama, noise, lots of abrupt power with harsh and jarring ride (22-inch set with summers and they do special toe angle something on it), so getting back in our Cayenne Turbo was where we belong, which is comfy/fun and sublime in a daily or long-distance cruising (which is what we use it for most), and Taycan to me is in a totally different league as it comes to daily driving with instant power with no drama, as you feel you are not even touching the ground when passing or carving a corner.
