I find it more likely that the OP is simply not a forum person, and got what they needed, than an actual troll. If they have a sister who is 80, likely they are in the same age bracket....and pretty likely they aren't going to be hanging out on forums on which they don't own a car. They did...

The handling of a 911 Turbo S to a Taycan? You can't compare at all. The Taycan is very sure footed and very planted and that's about the only thing it shares with a 911 Turbo since it's well over 1,000 lbs heavier and also has air suspension. Even crazy german engineering can't make up for...

So buy a nicely equipped 4S for about the same price as a Plaid. For that you get the following: a real steering wheel, better gauge cluster, HUD, much nicer interior, better handling and brakes, faster charging and almost ultimate customization. Real world range? I bet it's pretty close...

Which model Taycan did you get?

Not a troll. Owned Model 3 since late 2018. Driven 70k miles plus. V10 made things harder to use, V11 makes things even harder. When you're actually driving the vehicle, even on TACC/AS, there are a bunch of functions which take too much time off the screen. Fonts even smaller. Scroll bar...

Uh, those are FACTORY recommendations that are printed in the FACTORY manual regarding air pressure vs. load. Is that few enough words? I never, ever, said anything about selecting a tire which didn't meet load requirements. In that, you are completely correct. If a car requires a...

Agree with you on towing. This has been borne out by Model X owners. Range really drops. 80% of drivers don't tow...in your area maybe. Come to the South. I grew up in North East. You need to live in an area like mine to believe the way people use (abuse) trucks. But honestly, if...

Why no way? Supposedly the Ford ratings factor in a 1,000 lb payload. Plus, many other EV's meet or beat their EPA range, because they don't use the full testing method that Tesla does and de-rate voluntarily. It's not uncommon for a 220 mile Taycan to easily go 265 miles. Whereas in my...

What's the stocking status of these?

Learned my lesson after last year’s “double fire” (guess Elon meant dumpster) update. IMO, that update was much more of a step back than this one. So after waiting 2-3 days, I downloaded this one.

Thought of some more: 15. Not showing the charge at arrival in the navigation small box? Having to scroll down to the bottom of the turn list? Dumb. Like, why did you remove this? 16. Following up on that....did the navigation box get bigger, covering more map, yet shows less information...

Have driven on it some more. This update shows some promise, but many things remain stupid. 1. Separation of speed limit / speedometer at top of screen; good. Larger (?) speedo; good. 2. Thinner fonts overall? Bad 3. Card for trips and wipers gone; dumb. Why? You literally get nothing...

Nailed it. A few cool things. A lot of “doesn’t do anything but why, because now I have to learn a new thing for no real benefit” and a bunch of “this is really stupid and A Step backwards”

Try rebooting the car again. Sounds like a glitch (the part about not shutting down).

Yup. And while some of it is definitely just not wanting something new, there definitely are legitimate gaffes That could be addressed.
