Why is it not “as doable”? What would prevent no fuel/no brake in a middle accelerator pedal position and downshifting and/or applying brake in a lift off pedal position?
…asking as someone who has implemented numerous automatic mechanical braking control applications…
Um, Taycan regens WAY more than any Tesla. Maybe more than all 4 of their models combined. I don’t know. Someone else can look that up.
So….who’s playing catch up there?
And that’s aside from the fact that coasting is more efficient than regen.
So, double win for the Taycan. ??
That’s your...
I don’t understand the “drive like an EV”.
Just because Tesla and some others have one pedal driving doesn’t mean that’s how EVs drive.
It’s not like electric motors naturally regen when you lift off the accelerator. With no control applied, they coast, as the Taycan does.
The one-pedal...
Panamera has more options, like power adjust rear seats and power rear sunshades.
I had the power rear sunshades and they were really nice. I wouldn’t get a Panamera over a Taycan because of them, but stuff like that makes me think it’s more luxury.
I don’t know how low and the car isn’t home (neither am I) to measure. There are some threads in the RL 992 forum that talk about it.
Here’s the info from the Porsche website.
911 GTS Cab
Taycan 4S
I don’t believe anything is essential.
I would generally recommend getting it (FAL), but I...
I had a Panamera for 6 years. Taycan for 2 years. I wouldn’t go back to a Panamera over a Taycan. The Taycan looks much nicer, drive much better, and feels much smaller (despite not really being significantly smaller).
I also don’t have any reason to drive my Taycan further than half its range...
Sure. ? My comment wasn’t intended as Taycan has lightest doors ever. Just noticeably lighter than my 911.
When I get my 911 back, I’m going to get some measurements on heights of things like seats, floorboard, steering wheel, and windshield across the 911, Taycan, and Macan and post for...
I was playing this video this morning and my wife walks over and asks “What’s that noise?”
“It’s a car.”
“Oh….I though you were watching a vacuum cleaner.”

I agree with the quiet being desirable for most driving.
However, in the case of just accelerating flat out for a period of time, it just feels weird. And add to that how smooth it is, there just’s no change; It doesn’t feel like anything is going on at all, for such a long period of time. The...
An update: I drove the Taycan to work today, and I drove myself and two coworkers to lunch. After, we went for a short “test drive”. Part of that was accelerating flat out for a period of time.
And it was boring. So boring. The first second or two, yeah, okay, but after that…
There’s no...
