Great video, my Taycan is down to the steel treads on the driver side inner front tire. The car only has 9000 miles on it. I just emailed Porsche about this issue because I’m not about to pay $3k for an alignment and new tires.
Sadly we’ve had a few Taycans with this issue that have burnt through several sets of tyres! Luckily the ones we’ve already sorted the alignment on have been much better with a more even wear pattern :) Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and let us know about your car! Keep us up to date with how you get on!
As mentioned in the video, it’s the combination of very high caster angle, combined with camber and toe being quite aggressive. The level of caster exaggerates this.
@@Carbonwurksroughly 8 degrees of caster is not particularly high. 7-8 is typical in most cars, as it eases steering efforts. Caster has no effect on the tire contact patch except when turning. It's the toe. Toe causes a constant slip angle and is the main source of high wear. You can drive cars with two degrees or more camber on the road with near zero toe and not see hardly any excess inside wear.

Great video! Thank you very much for the information!
Hopefully it provided some insight!
This isn't enough camber to cause high wear by itself. It's the toe.
