    Chart: Taycan Cross Turismo ground clearance heights -- with and without Offroad Design Package

    default in ORDP can be set to higher clearance, you can change this back to normal in the default profile or change to personal profile and leave height at normal. based on my memory when I first started playing with it, haven't change since. I drive with sport suspension on in normal, so that...

    One week after 6 years in Tesla Model S to Taycan Turbo

    Wait. I thought PID only monitors speed, so it can vary speed depending on your driving and road topography. There is no lane control in PID. ALK does the lane controls. for something similar to Tesla EAP. You'll need PID, ACC and ALK. Tesla EAP and AutoPilot is way better than PID (if we...

    BMW i4 M50

    I only have EVs now, the Porsche is the daily driver. I drive my Percy everywhere. 31k miles, had it for 13 months. 2nd set of tires already. Launch it when I get the opportunity. Canyon carving almost every weekend. daily commute in Bay Area traffic. Have to wash it almost every week...

    Will you test drive the Mercedes EQS?

    I really wanted the EQS SUV for this tax year. 179 write-off. BUT, the local dealers want $25k - $50k markup. the higher the trim, the higher the mark up. One dealer was able to do MSRP, but no delivery in 2022 unless I paid markup. Argh. Endup with a X Plaid due to end of quarter end...

    Road-trip planning: Taycan vs. Tesla

    Just came back from a trip. At a EA site. there was only 2 350kW chargers, one was open and actively being worked on by a tech. The only 350kW left, was occupied by a KONA! a 50kW KONA! with a couple of 150kW working. Argh. Then I look down the aisle and across the parking to the 50 Tesla...

    Input Needed - Taycan trade in for RS6

    RS6 is also one of my bucket cars, till the Cross Turismo was announced. Then I dropped the RS6 like a bad habit. Nothing wrong with it, but I now prefer my 4S CT everyday. Why not go with the Taycan GTS ST, or the 4S and above for the CT. None of the nice engine sound of the RS, but...

    A Taycan Owner Buys a Tesla: Informal Battle of Two (Very Different) EVs!

    I run into similar problems as Margaret, but I enjoy the driving portion more, so I overlook the software issues. Lots of PCM boot issues. Black screen with Porsche on it and that's it. German search bar. km per hour on main screen, miles per hour on input screen during charging. GPS not...

    A Taycan Owner Buys a Tesla: Informal Battle of Two (Very Different) EVs!

    as noted in countless other threads. Teslas are not as bad as this forum makes it sound. It's a great bang for what you're paying. The screen and menu issues will become less and less of an issue once you get used to it. You're used to PCM, and just retrain your brain for the Tesla OS...

    Test drove EV6, ID.4 and Polestar 2

    Ioniq 5 looks way cooler than the EV6. Did you guys skip Hyundai for a reason? Love that retro pixel LED look. Seen quite a few in the Bay Area to my surprise. -ThinkMac-

    Lotus Eletre

    I'm very excited for the Eletre. Waiting for local sales to answer a few questions before placing an order. Full size SUV qualifies for Section 179 write-off for business. With fast depreciation. Will be a huge saving. Geely makes the Polestars, and everybody thinks the build quality is...

    Scared to ask... anyone tempted by Model S Plaid?

    I think we should accept the fact that Tesla has great tech, Plaid is an awesome car. I think you just can't wipe away their impact on the EV world, period. No Tesla Model S, no Taycan. I love my Teslas for what they are, EVs with great range and charging network. I'm ordering a Cross...

    Chart: Taycan Cross Turismo ground clearance heights -- with and without Offroad Design Package

    All reviews I read or watch indicates that this is a software suspension package, and that at the highest level, it's the same with or without the ORDP. The only difference is that it's exactly like chart indicates, that it's sits higher at ORDP normal level vs a non ORDP CT. so ORDP normal is...
