Default Is your 992 equipped with RAS?

Hello,

Trying to make myself feel better so posting this poll. If your 992 variant had the option to configure Rear Axle Steering (RAS / RWS), is that a box you ticked or left it out?
There are a number of threads on RAS with opinions split so Poll should suffice unless you really have something else to say lol.

Thanks!

I have RAS, but I don't know what it does on a day-to-day basis. So I could probably get by without it.

Just a better way to present data found in multiple threads via numbers

Yes but I will say I don't notice it or wouldn't know what it would be like without it. The turning feels tight but I can't say it wouldn't feel tight without it.

I think there is some thought that RAS drains the battery?

I almost didn't spec mine due to that but I'm not sure if this claim is even true?

I have yet to see any convincing comparison of any kind.

I think RAS comes with the light weight battery, which for some unfortunate rennlisters who had to replace said batter, found the cost to be unusually high and worth not getting RAS in the first place.

RAS comes with the Li-ion battery and there are reported issues with it being susceptible to discharging when parked after just a few days or a couple of weeks. Plus Porsche is requiring you drive a certain number of miles per year to maintain the battery warranty. And it's like $2500 to replace.

RAS almost feels as if the back end of the car is sliding out during U-turns and going around roundabouts. Takes some getting used to but it’s cool to feel the back end rotating around you.

I would spec it again.
