I’m sure I read at the time I ordered that you need this to be able to put the back seats down which is why I optioned it. I could be misremembering though

It sounds like the guessometer is adjusting to your driving style which could be more, err, adventurous than the previous owner’s. Could also be due to temperature changes. Has it got cooler where you are in the last couple of days?

Just to be clear, I’m a physicist by education not by vocation. It’s been about 20 years since I did any serious physics. I mean, earlier in this thread I was getting power and force confused which shows you where I’m at these days. One is a vector and the other is a scalar ffs, I should have my...

Haha, fair enough. It’s just I find that the cliché “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing” is very often true. I’ve had people telling me I’m wrong about things I know from my job I spent 15 years doing and it’s very frustrating. I imagine f1eng is experiencing something similar here. I hope...

Yeah, that’s what I’d conclude with my limited knowledge of this but like I said I’ve had zero years experience designing cars for motorsports whereas f1eng has had 40+ so I’m happy to defer to him

Did you turn the AC off? I find that adds about 15 miles of range

Also, has your regen braking kicked in yet? Usually takes about 250-500 miles before that happens and that will improve range

I have the RWD with performance battery plus. Those are the sort of numbers I see when I’ve been doing mainly town/city driving. I get up to the 300 mark with motorway/dual carriageway driving. I’d say there’s nothing to worry about if you’ve been doing mainly urban driving especially if your...

If you think a big part of the high quotes is the value of the car having the tracker activated may bring premiums down. I don't think this is an option on the comparison sites so you may have to directly to the insurers to have that included when they provide you with a quote. NFU wouldn't even...

OK, right, so it's the force from the engine that generates torque and power and the two are related by a factor of the engine speed (times a constant)? In that case, I'll admit that I don't understand @f1eng's point about power being more important than torque but I'm loath to disagree with...

I could be wrong but I think this argument has arisen in the context of an interview question to make sure the candidate understands that it's the power that generates torque not the other way around and at the fundamental level an engineer joining an F1 team really needs to understand that. I...

I think a lot of UK based people on here are with Admiral as they usually give the best quote so if they are giving you such a high quote you could be out of luck. I went with NFU Mutual (who aren't on the comparison sites), premium was £680 (in March this year) with three years no claims...

I think @f1eng's point is at the most fundamental level it is power that generates torque not the other way around. No power = no torque. It's like arguing that it's the sun's gravity that is the most important thing in the force that it exerts on the earth. No, it's its mass that is the most...

Ah, right. It seems pretty definitive that the retrofit will not happen. I didn't option it though so don't know if that's been 100% confirmed or what the compensation will be if it has

Yeah, there's a long thread about it: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/taycans-affected-by-wme3-will-not-be-retrofitted-with-an-electronic-steering-column-adjustment.10199/ Basically, retrofit will not happen, Porsche is offering compensation instead

I received two keys but the second one was not a Taycan key because the fourth button was 'open soft top' rather than 'open boot'! Still waiting for the proper Taycan second key which was promised. I'm not that bothered at the moment, just might be an issue at resale

I was hoping someone could tell me

The letter that came with my, err, award(?) was from the sales manager at Mid-Sussex. They are a Sytner Group dealership. I think @W1NGE is based in Scotland and Edinburgh and Glasgow are also Sytner so assuming he bought his Taycan from one of those maybe this is a Sytner thing

I like the exterior look but the interior is not something I would ever go for. If I’m being kind I’d say i marginally prefer it to that watermelon thing

Mid-Sussex. I was also given a Porsche branded drinks holder thing that keeps your coffee warm but they gave that to me on the day. I looked it up and it would usually cost £41
