For those of you with Rear Wheel steering... happy with it?

Not to get off topic from Rear Axle Steering but according to online sources: “The WLTP range of the Porsche Macan 4S and Turbo are often reported as the same because they share the same electric motor and battery system, with the primary difference being the power output management, which means the Turbo may utilize more power for quicker acceleration but doesn't necessarily impact the overall range significantly in standard driving conditions.

Sure? I thought the Turbo had a bigger engine and all the others were software tuned or inverter … but I’m not sure …

when i asked this of my SA a while back, he was under the impression that they all had different motors. we know that this can controlled via software, but i'm doubtful that's the case.
Why put more copper in the electric motor than ppl are paying for...And I also think, if the motors were the same, but power mgmt was different, that the Range on the 4S would be greater than the turbo.... just my guess

I originally opted out but included it before freeze date. I do notice it just driving around tight curves. Feels like the car is going where you want is more rapidly or effortlessly. It comes with power steering plus and I do notice it in a parking lot. Also I noticed in on the highway changing lanes on heavy rain. it honestly felt magical, a level of stability I have never had in a car. I have never owned a car with RAS and before and was worried that it might be just another thing to fail or require extra $$ for maintenance but if you want that little extra special difference then it’s worth it. I don’t think it is a must have but because it enhances the drive experience at least what I have hadI think it’s one of the best options to get.
