    Why I Dumped Carplay

    It’s funny since CarPlay Is my go to. Yes I can get streaming services but having tracks dowloaded on your phone and played by carplay is great. I like it a lot. Maybe my expectations are not as high. Perhaps the experiences on each side of the Atlantic are different?

    Salary Sacrifice - Lex

    Honestly, salary sacrifice if you can get it is a no brainer. I’ve gone from paying 100k+ * 37% * 45% (you work it out, I don’t want to see the numbers?) to 2% * 45% of the cost of the car. I understand that those not in the know have questions, but if you can get SS why are you doubting this?

    Why I Dumped Carplay

    Of course if that’s your measure then that’s meaningful for you and should be your bench. I’m just saying (and asking) that for me the balance of all the aspects of the car ends up as a fantastic experience. Yes, I‘ve had better software on previous cars but man, the overall package is just...

    My loaner while my car gets the ANA6...

    Thanks for the post. I’ve got a 4s with every performance option. I’m still surprised that you think a 4s is close to a TTS or even a TT on a pull. The difference in % power and torque is at least the difference between a base car and a stage 1. Normally this is a very clear difference and on...

    Does anyone actually use launch control?

    Like almost everyone else I’d like it on demand via sport chrono. I still use it all the time but really cannot tell the difference until the 40 to 60 mph split. That‘s not a surprise though since why would Porsche use up all the goodies by adding additional torque early if their aim was to...

    Why I Dumped Carplay

    This won’t be popular post and I expect a few down votes. I know that given we all bought 6 figure cars we should expect everything to be perfect but here is my experience; yes sometimes you get a few strange messages popping up, yes car play can play something you hadn’t planned and yes...

    Should I get 4 zone climate control

    I skipped it and then read somewhere that it also allows you to have better control of the airflows at the front too. I particularly like warm air on the feet and cold on the face. I don’t seem to be able to get it with the standard set up but apparently it’s possible with the 4 zone. I would...

    "System Meltdown - DC Fast Charging in America" - Video by Kyle of Out of Spec

    Same here, Ionity has always given me faultless plug and charge with speeds in excess of 240kW until limited by the car.

    Just found out why I couldn't find....

    Interested to see where this goes. I've got a 22 4S with PCM 6 and can call up PDCC but not power distribution. Your post seems to suggest they are linked to the same hardware, if I am reading it correctly. Unless they are covered by separate chips and I just got lucky with PDCC then I'm...

    Porsche finance

    I came from an M4CS to my Taycan and bought through salary sacrifice. The savings were enormous, even though I spent £30k more on the Taycan than the BMW. Not only do you benefit from the tax savings, you don’t get the ruinous BMW depreciation. I would run some more numbers and look at other...

    Never noticed before. Launch control turns off AC?

    I’ve had times when selecting sports plus turns off the AC. I didn’t see the message for the first few months I had the car but several times recently. It’s a bit of a problem for me since sports plus is my go to mode……

    Brand new RWD or 2yr old 4S?

    This, you could be waiting a long time for a new RWD so why not enjoy depreciation free motoring in a 4s while you wait?

    Another great longish distance experience

    Once again a great experience to take the Taycan on a bit of a road trip. Today was from the north midlands to Cornwall, almost 300 miles. Like always the car was a pleasure to drive; smooth, quiet, responsive. I charged at Collumpton Ionity. Plug and charge worked faultlessly and had us back...

    Question for those who have sports plus

    I'm not trying to put words in your mouth so please correct me if I have mis interpreted your reply but it seems that you believe the additional cooling of sports plus means that there is an overall (but not published) performance advantage over the other modes? Correct?

    Question for those who have sports plus

    I played around a little with this yesterday. Sport seemed to change up in the late 70s just like sport plus but there was no sensation of the kick in the back you get with sports plus, just a smooth progression. In sport plus it felt like more of a change in power levels than a faster and less...

    Question for those who have sports plus

    Hi all, I’ve got a 2022 4s+ with sports chrono. I’ve always assumed that to make maximum progress I should select sports plus but today I used sport (which I very seldom do) and it felt faster in the 60 to 80mph range range. Anyone experienced this or does my butt dyno need recalibrating? I...

    Much improved range due to unusually warm weather-UK

    I’d like more than 2 days though :)

    Much improved range due to unusually warm weather-UK

    I was mostly in eco but did flirt a few times with max. I’m on 21 inch wheels too. Let’s say 80% eco.

    Much improved range due to unusually warm weather-UK

    For those who are not aware the UK is experiencing some unusually hot weather (high 30s right now). it's been my first opportunity to experience the range that some of you who live in warmer climates are accustomed to. I'm normally at around 215 miles in winter and 245 in summer, but today I...

    Porsche Driving Experience

    It's a great day out, I went last month and found it brilliant with 121 instruction, a great environment and good food. In my case I had had the car for a while and had to chase my invitation. If you go before you get your car and then have to back out of buying for any reason you have to pay...
