The thing I find strange is how dealers who quote £250ph labour for a Taycan, can do a full service (Inc brake fluid and pollen filter change) for £500-£600. How much are the parts and how much labour/time is involved? I am assuming the hourly rate suddenly becomes more 'flexible' when it's...

I dropped a couple of things down the side of my Taycan drivers seat over the years. Some things got stuck under the rail. After spending ages trying different things, I found some very long (flexible) cable ties in my garage and was able to push the objects out by sliding and wiggling the...

There are so many used Taycans - it's a buyers market. If you do want another, I would be tempted to say that you will only purchase it, if you have the option to return it for a full refund (without question) if it develops any faults within the first x weeks. Personally, I moved on due to...

I would be looking to return the car as well... 'Water ingress along the windshield' does not sound like something you want to be dealing with, as you wonder how many electrical items will succumb to rust damage over the years to come.

I wonder if the Chinese will be having the same high employment costs that VW had, if they take over a VW German plant with German workers? Or had VW unions screwed the company into the ground over the decades and a new overseas employer will not have the same burden? Just interested, as it...

So they issue a recall on safety grounds....... Some batteries may have faults and risk catching fire. So much so that we are advising some people not to park in or near buildings, and charge only to 80% away from buildings. It's so serious we need all relevant cars to be brought in to have...

When I got the same message (manual port doors) there was nothing impeding the door. It went to the dealers and they replaced the charging port unit.

It's great to see all the new suggested names from people who only read the original post and can't be bothered reading the rest of the thread. ? For all those tldr people.... The car has now been named. She is Magdalena. Ps It's amazing how slow the phone charges considering it gets hotter...

I thought all the broken heaters and long waits for replacements was a relic of winters past, but obviously not. Ultimately, the (lack of) dealer support was the main reason I eventually parted ways with my Taycan. I honestly could not stand the thought of being treated like a mug one more...

I had to go through the dealer to take out the combined warranty/roadside policy. I think it's due to all the financial regulation disclosure documents etc on selling insurance. Ultimately it is an insurance policy through a third party. I found this out when I went to cancel it and also has...

Point of interest there..... it takes a full working week (min 35 hrs) just to replace faulty battery cells.

Chester are probably the best dealer in the area by some margin imo. They have got a good reputation with other Porsche owners I know. You can walk over to Cheshire Oaks while waiting as well.

I live in Sth Mcr/Cheshire area and took a quick blast up the M62 to Leeds and waited for my 1st service. My posts on this thread at the time.... https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/uk-service-costs.7305/post-251649

I always feel the Taycan was rushed to market. Far too many issues that should have come to light under testing. I assume they produced it along their usual timescales, without thinking about the intricacies of it being the first of a kind, with a whole new spectrum of teething problems. IMO...

I bet they would manage to find the part if it was their car.

Glad it's getting sorted. Was it the dealer who quoted to replace the whole unit? I think it's borderline theft/fraud the way some dealers lie about stuff like this. Its like asking a plumber to replace a radiator valve and they just lie and say it can't be done you have to replace the whole...

Off your list, I really like Fritzi. The Fritz bit being very German, but it sounds cute once the 'i' is added. I also think a nickname works best when it's got fewer syllables, which is why say Christopher gets shortened to Chris or Jonathon to Jon etc. Some of the choices have too many imo...

Here's the thread.... https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/uk-service-costs.7305/ It's quite long now and things changed a lot over the years, so it probably worth reading newest first.

Am I also right in thinking Tesla guessometer uses the official range- and then part way through a journey recalculated the range and it can fall drastically?

It may not be all bad news for private owners though...... As long as you want to stay with an EV, you may have poor residuals - but you can make it back on your next cars discounts. I px my Taycan in Nov (nearly 50% after 3+ years and 23k miles). But I got nearly 40%/£30k off list for a...
