What’s needed is a contact email that we can all respond with our concerns and, obviously, put our comments over as, “they must have made a mistake”. Always need to leave Porsche with a way out, rather than a cornered cat. . . .

I think we should all try and get to the bottom of this UK ripoff by Porsche UK! I know we expect it on extras, but this is at a new level, even for them. . . . . My first service is coming up next July, so not that far away.

I’ve had the same problem. I’m sure it’s because the car tries to reach the charge level by the departure time in one go. If there’s not enough time, it will start early to accomplish this, rather than - say - charge to the required level over multiple charging days. For my case ( I only want to...

When I went you could only drive the same model that you had ordered.

Maybe they wanted to do testing on poor roads?

My 4S was just over 100K last July. Against a new replacement I was verbally quoted 90K for it. When you think there’s a chunk of VAT in that, I would be happy.

My 4S has standard brakes and after more than 12 months have never needed to clean brake dust from the wheels. . . . I’ve never had cleaner wheels on a car.

You will have plenty of opportunity when you get your track day at Silverstone ?

UPDATE: A software update is now available to correct the “dipped beam converted “ fault. Mine was fixed this week?

I remember having to wait 18 months when I ordered a Macan at the launch, and when replaced with a Panamera, that arrived in 6 weeks!

I have an update! Looks like a software update is available at last. My 4S is booked in September for the fix. it’s only been around 14 months in the waiting. . . . . .

Why would Porsche have such a stupid system? Especially as they are trying to stop us all charging above 80 - 85%?

I remember taking a similar photo. . . .

But what happens if you reach your target charge level BEFORE timer departure time? From what I’ve seen, it will continue to charge above your set threshold.

On it?

That’s why I wanted to use a profile, so the start is also fixed. What I was hoping was only to charge within the 4 hours from 0:30. If the 85% was reached within this time it would stop. If not it would stop at 4:30 until the next day when the cycle would repeat until the car reached 85%...

Could I just check when you say “it will fix the problem”. If I use a timer only and no profile, how will that guarantee starting at 0:30 and end by either reaching 4:30, or the 85% limit? Thanks.

Was there a reason both general profile and home profile were ticked?

The Zappi 2 is 7kW and SOC ( from memory) was 77% so the car would have reached 85% before the 4 hour charge period. I was expecting either condition (charge level, or time limit) to stop the charging? Next time I’ll try with a lower state of charge so the 85% cannot be reached in the 4 hours...

Charging is via Zappi 2. I was just being safe with the 12V issue as all was working with manual charging.
