Anyone placed an Order for the Taycan yet?

[pmanson]

Hi All,

Does any one know if there is a plan for a Sport Turismo? Or is the only estate option the Cross Turismo?

AFAIK the CT is the estate/touring Taycan, and that's your lot. You get a choice of ride heights within the options on the CT.

Ah that's a shame.

Quick question...

For my CT, I'm ordering the 21" Cross Turismo Design wheels with an additional set of 20" Taycan Turbo S Aero Design winter wheels & tyres.

I notice on the Tequipment Accessories section of the configurator that on the 20" winter wheel set it says "The wheel hub covers (Part number 9J1 073 002) are not included in the scope of supply."

Is this the same thing as the 'Porsche crest wheel centres' which will already be on the 21s and can I just swap them between wheels when I change them over?

It should be but maybe different wheels have different covers. A quick call to your OPC Parts Dept should reveal all !

Have I missed any essentials from this spec?

Do they all come with the big battery now? If not I'd have thought that was just about the only essential option in the UK. It's a big car too; depending where you live and park RWS might be useful

From memory I think all the cross turismos do

1,000 miles down now and this thing impresses me more and more.

Sure, it's missing the noise, but it doesn't lack in anything else and it certainly doesn't feel it's weight. It's got all the optional wizardry available, rear wheel steering, torque vectoring, dynamic chassis control etc - I don't know how much is attributed to this as I haven't driven one without.

It really is a lot of fun. I suggest anyone who isn't convinced should drive one.

I’m wavering on RWS. My car’s a daily/bike and dog carrier and I have a GT3 for fun, so won’t use it as a ‘driver’, per se. Would I notice or get value from the option?

Nice Cordylines there. We can’t have those out front as, believe it or not, deer love them.

This is the one thing I suspect I’ll regret. I haven’t had long enough in the car to fully understand it yet, but it does suffer with understeer. There’s a high chance that this is all driver error and I just need to be a bit more aggressive with the steering angle, but I wonder if RWS would be helpful here. It’s gorgeous driving it within its limits, but pushing this thing requires a bit of recalibration of the senses, as it’s still a big, heavy lump of a car, despite hiding it well.

I've only driven one with rws and it didn't suffer from understeer as far as I could tell, at least not on the fast tightening roundabout that induces it in everything else I take round there. The reason I got it though was when my friend asked me to park it in his garage it looked uncomfortably tight turn to me but it did it easily which I assume was due to the tighter turning circle. Hard to say without back to back drives.

On the tight switchback type corners at PEC Silverstone, you could definitely feel the RWS when I tried the 991.1 GT3 and RS. The feeling is very similar to the way your centre of mass moves on a counterbalance lift truck. Bu faster.

I hadn’t thought about low speed manoeuvring either. That’s another aspect I suppose.

Quick question for existing owners... Can the Porsche Connect App be used by more than one person? My wife and I have an electric Mini and only one of us can have the app installed and registered to the car... we will also be sharing the Taycan when it arrives and wonder if it will be the same as the Mini or if we can both install the Porsche Connect app and register the Taycan so we both have it on our phones?

Yes you can, we do this.

Brilliant thanks! It's a bit of a pain with the Mini so that's good to know.

[danjp]

You can do this with the mini app too - just login the same user on 2 phones - both work.

That's good to know, I couldn't get it to work when I tried.... although I probably didn't try very hard! Thanks, I'll have another go.

Are these 4 or 5 seaters ? The Panamera estate was a nice looking thing but the interior space was awful for such a big car. The rear middle seat was almost unusable do to the huge transmission tunnel
