    Sudden lag during an overtake today. Is this normal?

    I love this solution: Just drive in Sport mode all the time to avoid it.

    MAMBA GREEN Taycan Club

    I finally have some production images of mine thanks to some jiggery pokery from a fellow forum member. The level of excitement is becoming quite unbearable.

    4S maxed out at 154 MPH

    I need to ask, you were doing 154, whipped out your phone and took a picture of the dashboard? Balls of steel!

    June 2023 Deliveries

    I've just had an update to say mine is now waiting in Emden, due to sail to Sheerness on Friday and arriving at the dealers w/c 19th. Fingers crossed I'm hoping 21st pick-up and a nice drive back from Reading up to South Yorkshire. Been the longest 12 months of my life. The app still says...

    Extended test drive?

    I did from the Sheffield branch yes, so it's a thing you can do. I had it overnight so about 36 hours in total. Be aware if you charge it, the parking bays are sometimes in places where you need to either sign-in (hotels), or visit the shop (like Iceland in Huddersfield). If you've owned an EV...

    Disable Rear Axle Steering?

    It truly is an impressive level of parking.

    The Lotus Eletre R is pretty quick then

    It's an option, you can have a rear bench.

    The Lotus Eletre R is pretty quick then

    Very true. I'd still (and have) take the Turbo S over this but as a fast family wagon, its quite a compelling thing.

    The Lotus Eletre R is pretty quick then

    Carwow: Whilst it's an SUV, if I needed the space it would probably be this over a model x. The performance is very close to a Turbo S Taycan and it wouldn't surprise me if it was a little quicker if you take the launch out of it. Impressive stuff.

    Porsche experience centre - non drivers

    You can "gift" some of your time to other family members so you can spread it out a little. I did that with my 16 year-old who had a couple of hot laps with the instructor. It might be worth doing something like this. They'll probably be bored however, the setting is nice though, food, free...

    *Beep* on skipping audio tracks

    Whilst I'd be happy to blame almost anything on Brexit, this does seem a bit of a push.

    Anyone change factory tires yet? Stayed with the Michelin PS4's or go for something else?

    Whilst I'm waiting for my Taycan, hopefully June now, I would recommend sticking with the PS4. On my M3P I swapped to Goodyear Eagles and they lasted about 6000 miles vs about 16000 in the Michelin. On an M5 i had where grip was at a premium, I did once swap to some P Zero's but they had less...

    Porsche Charging Network

    I had an experience in a supermarket (Iceland) car park in Huddersfield, when test driving the Taycan. Went to an Instavolt, drove in (missed the sign on the way in as you are pulling of a relatively busy road) parked in a charging bay for 20 minutes, stayed with the car, left. Later I was sent...

    Mamba Green and Cherry Red colors are gone

    Green on the wheels looks horrific. I personally like the yellow callipers, it immediately shouts ceramic brakes to me.

    sound system option

    Wow! Art as well as sound.

    sound system option

    I'm sure you can, I just don't shop in places that sell such high-end equipment. This is what sparked the intrigue to see what 100k of audio equipment looks like. The most I've spent is about 5k on a 5.1 surround system.

    UK order status and delays?

    I agree, customer expectations vs customer reality do seem some way apart and sadly all too common an issue. Given its a premium product I do expect a premium service, I don't think that is unreasonable. I wonder if dealers read these forums, we should name and shame.

    sound system option

    I'm intrigued as to what such a system consists of to cost that amount of money? You clearly don't shop at Richer Sounds.

    Mamba Green and Cherry Red colors are gone

    Does anyone know or care to speculate if this means my order, which is for a mamba green car, is likely to require a change now? The build has not been locked but I'm told its imminent with a May delivery scheduled.

    Can you add Taycan GTS Sport Sound file to other models?

    I would really like the option of customised sounds and not just a GTS. Imagine if you could choose any car from their range. I would happily pay a one-off fee for this.
