I guess trade offs have to be made. Is there any loss of efficiency by using a gearbox - presumably very small losses due to additional friction vs being directly coupled?

Didn’t think about wheels but its single motor was the reason I compared it to the RWD Taycan.

Have just been browsing through Apple News+ and came upon a Car review of an ID7 … Not that interesting in itself but it quoted a range of 384 miles from its 77kWh battery which seemed a lot for a car that weighs 2,172kg per the article. This is equivalent of 5 miles per kWh! Initially I...

Thanks all. The 20kw DC charger is about £5k so probably around 3x the cost of an 22kw AC ones - expensive but not prohibitively so if it can then be used on any car. I didn’t like the idea of optioning 22kw inverter on the Taycan as it’s expensive option and given my car is on a lease you...

I’m in the process of building a new house and have been considering options for charging. I will have a 3 phase supply able to cater for 2x 22kwh AC chargers but was also exploring the option of 20kwh DC charger as both of my cars can only accommodate 11kwh AC … Has anyone installed a home...

Came back to the car after leaving it at the airport for a few days and luckily the yellow warning was gone. The old switch it off and on again seemed to have done the trick for now. I fast charged at Ionity an hour later and had no further issues.

Looks like I have joined the club … Car is about 4 months old and less than 3,000 miles. I was charging slowly overnight so wonder if it’s related to that. I was able to drive (had to as had an early flight this morning - and had no time to mess about to see if it would reset itself) and...

It can’t be unicorn tears as I think they went into this one which is about $15 for 1/4 of the quantity of the the above … As it turns out when we bought the current house almost 10 years ago there was a tiny bottle of this stuff left in the garage by the previous owner … little did I...

Haha, certainly picked up a fair bit of it tonight on the way up to the Scottish Highlands

No washer system on my MY24 CT4S so even more puzzling … maybe just a generic warning that they didn’t bother customising for the Taycan manual on the Porsche app?

Hi, just about to refill the washer fluid ahead of winter for the first time and saw that Porsche recommends fluid that is safe for plastic headlights … 1. Does anyone know what the potential issues could be with plastic headlight lenses? Is a particular fluid ingredient a problem? 2. Any idea...

Here is my CT4S at the Tesla charger in Aviemore. I typically have to use two bays so tend to use it when things are quiet. There is also some parking to the right of the chargers so when there is a free space to the right of the right most charger I will park there and only take up one charging...
