Blaming the wifey, I see?
"There is a left turn that I routinely take at speed in the Taycan GTS"
This afternoon saw a person making a U turn (with lawnmower trailer) ignoring all oncoming traffic. Tomorrow I'll upload the spectacular dashcam video...

"not opting for the passenger dash screen."
Agreed. That passenger dash screen has to be one of the most useless features imaginable. Whoever thought of that worthless gimmickry?
Of course, stay tuned for the hundreds of replies opining passenger dash screen is one of the best features since sliced bread.

she/I miss it in our 2021 Cayenne and 2022 911…
basically the passenger screen is _NOT_ the best thing since sliced bread, but can be considers a more interesting alternative vs. blank gloss black/carbon/leather/wood plastic. Navigation, weather, media are all interesting on longer trips on the 2nd screen.
if it's an option my wife has requested it on future Porsche products we may ore may not consider.
the good news is we can now discuss this option also in the Cayenne forum - and I'm guessing soon the Macan EV forum…
it will be like:
- pdk vs. manual
- PCCB's vs. steels
- GT4 vs. GT3
- power door ports vs. manual
- smaller vs. bigger battery

The U turn was really quite bad and luckily, no accident. People are … not smart. As for FroYo - im torn but my last 4 Porsches have been white (3) and black (1) so I’m pretty boring in that regard. I’ll be getting my Taycan GTS ST this week and sadly , I’m trading in my 992 C2S. I’m ready for a new P car experience and for now , I will appreciate actual rear seats and I will be able to get my dogs in the hatch too !?! No doubt I’ll be back to a “proper” P car and I’ll bet it’ll be a cayman next time. We’ve got a Tesla Y so I’m very used to charging , lack of exhaust note ( I’ll miss exhaust sound most of all). Anyone who’s made a similar move - what are your thoughts ? I feel like a traitor.

Our Taycan GTS is our ninth Porsche. All the others except for the Cayenne e-hybrid that preceded it have been sports cars, most recently the 992 Turbo S we own now and formerly a GT3, a Turbo S, Turbo, etc. I’m a big fan of a good exhaust note, but I find that the Taycan GTS is such a different driving experience that, when I’m driving the Taycan I’m never thinking: “Boy, I’d rather be driving the Turbo S.” And it’s true the other way around because both cars are so good. The ability to rocket off the line and get an amazing shove when accelerating from say 30 or 40 in traffic is amazing. I’ve always been a sport exhaust guy - always on - and I love snaps, cracks and burbles, but the Taycan is so engaging that I don’t miss the sound and I’m not even using the Star-Trekkie sport sound. The Taycan GTS weighs about 1,400 pounds more than my Turbo S, but somehow Porsche has hidden the weight well, and as some reviewers have noted, the Taycan shrinks around the driver. Let us know what you think once you’ve driven it for a while.
