Good point, but OP was over a year ago.

The reason I looked into this was when our next door neighbours elderly father visited and somehow managed to 'miss' their drive and crashed into my wife's car parked on our drive, saying he thought he must have misjudged it. I confirmed to him that he definitely had misjudged it, but it was...

Unfortunately the stats show this to be very true (see pic). When I was a young hooligan 😁 people like me were a big problem and struggled with insurance. At that time everyone's Gran and Grandad used to get the bus. But now the Baby Boomers (including me) are getting on in years - but...

Looking into this a bit more from a legal viewpoint its all quite interesting. As mentioned previously, the 8 year / 100k warranty at 70% is mandatory. The 2026/27 EU battery passport regs will have a big impact. Also worth noting the secondary market is now starting to get its act...

Let's be honest, if its being leaked that they are thinking about cancelling them, due to costs - and looking at the state of the business, its a done deal. And yet the landscape could so easily swing back in favour for EV's. In fact I am certain it will. All it takes is say an oil shock event...

I think whenever an ICE car driver encounters an EV - they should be forced to stop and stand at the side of the road and applaud as we drive past. Or even just a simple salute if they haven't got the energy to clap. Partly because we are saving the planet for their children and grandchildren...

To be fair this thread is in the 'Porsche Taycan versus' section. Pretty pointless having this section at all if other makes & models can't be discussed.

The 111 point check isn't always all its cracked up to be....... https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/intermittent-red-warning-j1-2.31295/post-494349

Its a brave choice on most UK roads going Low or Lowered ride height, once you are aware of the 3mm battery cover achilles heel. Too many speed bumps etc. Hence, when I had my Taycan I used to just stick with Normal ride height and Sport chassis with Auto regen.

....especially if these newly announced EU (Greenland) tariffs are relevant to cars and push US prices up. Not sure if cars have a carve out clause on tariffs? It changes so offen I've given up trying to keep track.

Porsche suffers biggest sales fall since 2009 FT: https://www.ft.com/content/21760d4a-7150-43c5-b090-bd050c571d7e

I've no skin in the game as I sold my J1.1 Taycan well over a year ago and moved to BMW. No doubt for me, the J1.1 is the winner. I sometimes admire certain Taycans looks while out and about, but its never J1.2 models.

You need to go in pleasant, but very firm on this imo. Tell them what you want exactly and leave them in no uncertain terms that you will not be palmed off and you will have no problem in escalating things. They need to be more concerned about what is to come if they don't sort it now. We have...

How many heaters is that though? You may win on lowest mileage (did it break on the way back from the dealer 😆). But I think we have had 5 replacements on here? Anyway, it suggests they've obviously not fixed it with the latest version then.

Just a question I would be interested in from our US members. Do many people in the US prefer to buy Tesla because they are an American company (national loyalty)?

Just read a few articles re UK new car sales figures for 2025. Basically saying that EV prices will have to go up, as they are currently costing manufacturers £11k per car sold. Completely unsustainable. If new prices increase, I would imagine used will start to follow.

It is a very good question. Look forward to seeing if it works or not.

I've learned that discussing politics is futile, especially on car forums. ......even though that's what I'm doing now! 🤣 Infinite dynamics and personal circumstances means one size can never fit all. Interestingly, looking at just my own leanings over the last few years has seen many changes...

.......looking at pic. Assuming this chain aren't chasing Michelin Stars? 😁 If they are, they may need to add a few delicate coloured little petals with a pair of tweezers and 7 drops of strategically placed 'Jus' round the edge.

But to actually do the 1.9s....... it will require a 1ft roll out on a hot drag strip, with special tyres after the car has waited to get into its special mode for a few minutes. Then it will do it once on a full charge (if the planets also align at the same time and you are wearing your lucky...
