Travelled yesterday in very wet conditions with the first 10 miles or so on part flooded country roads driving through water inches deep.
The brakes performed exactly as I would expect, the regenerative braking was obviously unaffected but braking at low speed was typical "cleaning the water film off the disc" feel I would expect followed after seconds with normal performance.
I have my favoured cast iron rotors.
I didn't think wet braking was an inherent problem in the Taycan before this and am quite sure now that it is not.
People with a problem probably just need their brakes bleeding thoroughly with the correct procedure.
I don't know how plated or ceramic discs would be in the same conditions, of course.
