  1. Is Porsche Selling Our Driving Data?

    Porsche can't even make their own app to work, nevermind selling some data to some clever people...
  2. Thudding noise from front of car

    not sure about the noise, but WPK0 campaign helped my "strange" brakes, they are much better now
  3. Recommended insurers UK

    Admiral seems the most popular option
  4. Taycan re-sale issues

    Well-priced examples do sell indeed. I am watching a handful of cars (mostly because of the academic interest) - and out of 5 vehicles three are sold within a month, albeit they had to discount them heavily (pre-registered 11/2023 Turbo S £116k->£112k, pre-registered 10/2023 4 £92k-£89k, 3000...
  5. Taycan re-sale issues

    Tell that to a Porsche dealer. The lots are brimming with used taycans of all shapes and ages. Very sad view considering how wonderful these machines are…
  6. Recall WPS9 -- Does anyone know what this does and why?

    My WPS9 was done recently. I only had sport sound only in Sport Plus before that so it’s probably not directly linked. But now my heater blasts as if almost on the max (as if it were on the defrosting setting- not as much but the fan noise and “wind” is very annoying in the front). Did anyone...
  7. Thermally & Noise Insulated Glass and 20" wheels is the way to go

    I was 'lucky' enough to test drive a normal (4s) taycan with and without the noise insulated glass, and it was noticeably noisier. Whilst recently I had a Turbo loaner without this noise insulated glass, it was largely the same as in my Turbo with that glass. My theory is that the "thermal...
  8. PSCB Stopping Question

    I have just had WPK0 campaign done to my 2021 Turbo, and the brakes feel much more 'natural' - and I only noticed how weird they were after driving a 2023 loaner that seems to have had this update already. so if anyone had an issue with the brake 'feel' (for me it was mostly that I had to push...
  9. Brand new Porsche Charging Tariff Premium - you can now charge at attractive conditions (maybe)

    Looks like our friends at Porsche have masterminded a new pricing structure for Taycan charging subscription. It appears now as a monthly subscription at £29.99/month, with the following charges: AC Charging - £0.54/kw then £0.20/min after 4 hours. DC charging £0.74/kw then £0.20/min after 60...
  10. Nick says: Never Buy the Taycan Turbo S - video

    I wonder what would be the reason for the worse range?.. I think there is only a very subtle difference in some "inventors" for a faster launch control - otherwise turbo and turbo s are identical?
  11. Battery Longevity Strategies

    My non-scientific view (which seems to be supported by a graph of state of health topic) is that no matter what you do the battery loses 10% in the first year, and then it all stabilizes... and if it goes lower than 80% in 3 years or 70% in 3-8 years it's a warranty claim...
  12. Why does manual pre-conditioning not use shore power?

    maybe it has something to do with the state of charge... Recently I was hoping that I could pre-heat the 100% charged car before a very long journey (in hope to save a little more energy), but it won't have any electricity from a charger until 15-20 minutes pre-conditioning - so it looks like...
  13. Winter Tyres Dilemma: Seeking Advice on Taycan Wheels

    You can still buy a used electric car (that’s what we did). The only difference is that you cannot claim 100% offset for corporation tax, but 19% annually is not bad (you would still have to add the residual price to profit when you dispose the car)
  14. Winter Tyres Dilemma: Seeking Advice on Taycan Wheels

    Yeah… looks like we have the same accountant! Very interesting, thank you for sharing. As for winter tyres, I bought a set of used 20” taycan turbo wheels and put winter tyres on them. (Was a little less hesitant because it’s a tax deductible expense). But I only did that because we have a few...
  15. Winter Tyres Dilemma: Seeking Advice on Taycan Wheels

    hi Peter, it’s very unlikely to qualify for a 100% allowance in the first year as it was pre-registered. It’s probably VAT qualifying, but most businesses can’t claim that VAT. It’s not the end of the world, you can still claim 19% allowance every year, just not 100% immediately..
  16. Intersection Assist not on 2025 Taycan configurator?

    Apologies for my ignorance in advance. I have this feature, but I am still unsure what practical use of it is? Say if I am driving from the side road and about to hit another road user, will my car give me a little jingle bell? Just not sure what it would help with (or how) in real life...
  17. RWD-4s-Turbo back-to-back driving

    My situation is a little surreal... I bought an 'approve used' Turbo, but it seems they had forgotten to put it back together properly (mostly around interior) after some major works... so various items kept falling off, even after 3 visits to fix it. Now I think they are getting closer to...
  18. RWD-4s-Turbo back-to-back driving

    There have been thousands of topics of a similar nature, but I thought I'd share my experience as I had all three cars to drive in one day. I own a turbo, and after some problems with it went to explore alternatives. The first car was a newish Sport Turismo RWD. This was gutless. I floored the...
  19. BBC NEWS- Electric cars: Lords urge action on 'misinformation' in press [CLOSED DUE TO POLITICS]

    well, I was (still probably am) a big EV fan. we had an i3 since 2018. But when public charging hit 70p-80p/kwh it is very difficult to remain enthusiastic...
