I currently own 2 taycans and looking at trading them for the GTS sport models. After owing these for a year and dominating the intersection stoplights 0-50 km category lol , I have had multiple recalls and time in the shop went through 2 sets of tires upgraded to custom 2 piece wheels vinyl wrapped once, this car has been fun to drive on road trips and a pain to charge even when I’m hi jacking Tesla chargers with the tap “ love seeing there reactions” but I have some questions before I upgrade , and I’m seeking if anyone else has had this.
After longer drives…..headaches , restless sleeps , upper neck tension “ even after I use the seat massage lol” feeling vibratey, I’m I pretty healthy guy and owned a lot of cars and never really felt this way after driving one. Is anyone else having this ? Or am I just a lone duck here.
There is a long thread on TMC about some owners who are sensitive to the frequencies put out by the heat pump, I think. Caused headaches / ear aches. Maybe you have something similar? Could be from the motors or the inverter?
Just curious, if you've had issues with yours and have physical issues after long rides, why trade them on GTS's rather than something else? I love my problem-free Taycan 4S and have had no issues like you describe in 17,000 miles yet look forward to when my Lucid Air arrives to take its place. These cars are like cell phones-gotta get the newest and best. What's an EMF?

I assume he means electro-magnetic-field... they make the Lucid about 60 or so miles south of me though I've never seen one on the road. They definitely intrigue me but I sure wouldn't want to be a beta tester for them! Would want them to be around for a while before taking the plunge. Waiting now to see if I get my allocation for a GTS ST...
Hi! I bought a Taycan GTS hoping it would be better as far as the bothersome, dull headache I get immediately when I get in my Tesla Plaid - but no luck. Man, I love the GTS but I still have the same issues. People on forums treat you like you’re nuts when you bring this up. I think it’s a reaction to their own fear they could be endangering themselves in something they paid over a hundred thousand dollars for. “But there’s no verifiable information showing it’s harmful” yet with a short search you can find plenty of info on the harmful effects of emf’s on humans - just pick up a welding manual. It’s definitely a real issue. I’m not some loon wearing a tinfoil hat. I don’t experience it anywhere else except when I drive an electric car. I have no other health issues. What’s crazy is if you do a 20 second search online you realize there are tens of thousands of people out there with the same issues.
