The tire lottery can be a good thing. It has caused me to live with tires I would not normally choose and learn that factory Pirelli summer tires on a Taycan Turbo S are significantly smoother and quieter than Goodyear N rated tires, even with sound insulating glass. The measured sound level may...

Porsche wheel weights are tough to find - having a tire shop weigh them works well. The lightest ones I have seen are 29 lbs. I had a set of forged, 13-spoke HRE wheels made for our ICE Macan Turbo (one inch wider than factory wheels with offset aligned with factory wheel outside positions) -...

Our 2020 Taycan TS sedan has no wiper - love the appearance and too far ahead of everyone else to be concerned about seeing them!

At least it is an upgrade from paper tape - my first computer experience!

Our Taycan Turbo S is over four years old and has never been back to the dealer for a software problem - all problems have been solved by locking the car and making sure both keys are >33 feet (10 meters) away for more than 15 minutes. Or place both keys in separate RFID pouches and wait nearby...

Agree. However, on the road with Electrify America chargers, connecting often requires both hands and a lot of space to connect - the cable is heavy and stiff, the connector is large (and slippery in the rain), and the cable length is often too short. I need all the space around the socket as...

It will deliver 40A and remember it once changed in settings if you upgrade the firmware to 3030. Upgraded ours via Wi-Fi at home - it has the original NEMA 6-50 wall plug.

In our 2020 Taycan Turbo S, we use PCM maps and Apple map voice at the same time without using Apple Car Play. The voice instructions tend to occur at different times, making it easy choose a different route on the way and still end at the same place. They tend to have slightly different traffic...

That picture alone makes me happy we chose the powered door!

Agree, and we do not bother plugging in until it is below 50%.

Looks like the same basic mount used for the Taycan - it should be very easy to quick dismount.

There is a possibility that local regulations control the type of refrigerant (not likely). Freon has been banned for years in most counties (it still works best but cannot be used in some new systems).

Very nice overview!

Our 2015 Macan Turbo (with Burmester) rear luggage space is virtually identical to an Acura RDX or Honda CRV. The Macan electric is about the same.

Most likely yes - our Taycan ports can be open from the PCM console screen (which the Macan electric does not have).

Nice post, Diego! You must have missed a lot of wine taking all those photos!

Look at the good side - it will close itself and you have half the fingerprints on the door!

Very nice solution. It is easy to forget how good-looking standard black is!

Test drove the turbo electric on a short drive with too much traffic and concur with Frank’s observations except the turbo has no shortage of power, even though it was not equipped with Sport Chrono. It drives like a polite Taycan compared to our Turbo S. The throttle mapping is longer and very...

Your photos show the clear resemblance of Aventurine Green and Agate Grey.
