Does make you wonder why a company as big as the VW group has a single source for the battery? Although I’m sure everyone in purchasing will be Teflon coated and the fault will be engineering! Not that I used to work in automotive design?

Did seem to be a biased list with Thatcham sponsorship! Especially as BMW is one of the easy makes for the thieves. I think I’ll still keep my keys in a tin and forgo the comfort entry. . .

Yes my GTS ST is stuck at Emden awaiting the 12V battery! Should have been at the dealership next week. The good news, it is built. . . Kinda worrying a battery factory goes up in flames. Let’s hope these 12V batteries aren’t from LG Chem? Haven’t been working well in iPace and Bolt. Although...

Yes, also. After the update. I’ve not got comfort entry, don’t trust it, but it was handy having handles lift if car was unlocked when you approach. Apparently that feature was a bug and has been removed. . .

I was lucky, phoned the dealer on Nov 17 last year at 9:00am with the instruction “ place a dummy GTS ST order now and I will come in later and amend the spec’.” I was the first in the queue for an ST. Car is built and - should - be here 12th August, maybe. Unfortunately the second buyer on the...

My feeling is - unless you must have mission E wheels - not to bother. Reason? My 4S has lived outside in the UK for over 2 years. Has never been in the garage and yet, no sign of any rust or corrosion on any of the discs. In fact I’m not sure if they are even used. If you go by the amount of...

And think of the cost. Say 100 something an hour, times 75,000 cars at a book time of 3hrs. That 26 million! And it’s taking days, not hours. They really do need OTA updates to work better. They also need WiFi connection as well when we are at home. . .

Mine entered paint today, details from SA. Nothing showing on website.

Still in! Looks like a 3 day job. Tech’ told me book time is 3.5 hours. At this rate, with 75,000 to update, it’s going to cost Porsche a lot of money not using OTA updates. . Hoping to pick car up tomorrow morning.

Mine was started today (with the seat mod as well). Should - fingers crossed - return tomorrow. . .

The important bit is I2R losses. End of story. Higher the voltage, lower the current, lower losses. That’s why 66kV overhead supply lines are so small And large factories are powered from 11kV supplies. Porsche started with the correct voltage, not Tesla.

Yes thanks, done that now it sort of works. Saying that, I think the display is better just using the iPhone as a player, rather than car play!

I had it working with wired connection only. So you think it should work over blue tooth on a 2020 model?

I just want Apple car play to work wireless!

For me the HUD has an issue when I drove a car with it. Having older eyes, I was finding focussing on it started to induce eye strain. Therefore, was off my list.

While you are at it, I keep getting a prompt about media player (my iPhone) volume to get the best quality. It’s ticked to not show again but does daily!

I understand most of your points and i fully agree batteries are the future and the key. However, Porsche will protect its cars, especially the Taycan. You wouldn’t buy a 911 to get 50 mpg? And I’m sure range didn’t stop you ordering a Taycan. I suspect Porsche will - at a price - do a battery...

How about a red overboost button in the centre of the drive select switch? Would be great to get the extra power option on demand, even if only for 10 seconds a time.

20 inch turbo aero wheels and Michelin tyres.

So the trip back: weather not so good and quite windy. Nevertheless still very good mileage. Started 100% and back home with 62%, so 38% used for the 120 mile trip. Equates to better than 315 mile for a full charge. I’m more than happy with that. I know all the numbers don’t all agree, must be...
