After a day with the thing...
Getting used to the one-pedal-driving. It super-offended me at first but it's already starting to feel normal.
It's a lot faster than my base Taycan off the line
Really appreciating the seamless radio and increasingly bitter about it.
Still can't wait to get back...
Well my base Taycan has coil suspension too, but it doesn't feel like this thing.
As for regen options they are not present at all...apparently a recent-ish change, as my wife's 2018 has regen settings.
My Taycan is in the shop so I rented a Model Y from Hertz.
I was genuinely curious about how this would go. Do they have chargers on site?

Her car is definitely faster off the line.
The Taycan has better driving feel though, and it's still plenty fast...it feels a lot faster than my prior 991.1 Targa 4S (even though on paper it's not.)
I plan to order a 2023 in PTS Guards Red and...

Ugh sorry buddy. I've had a windshield on order since the original date of this post back in August...I think I am going to cancel the order as my damage is all very tiny nicks, not actual stars or cracks.
At first it bugged me but as the windshield wears down it looks better...it's really...
