In terms of reported depreciation it does not necessarily reflect the true depreciation. The depreciation I see is against list price - who orders and buys a Porsche without any options. I would reckon the average options are above 15% so an apparent 50% drop is really 65% Years ago, I bought a...

I was at the dealers last week and had a chat with the salesman who I dealt with earlier this year. He has had the most successful year ever and has already exceeded his target. He says he is taking orders for the Macan EV which will be manufactured end of Q2. He is finding some repeat customers...

In terms of the Chinese market I would think the 25% tariff on European luxury cars didn't help.

Perhaps chun is really in Beijing !

The Chinese government play the long game in trade. Over years they acquired the companies world wide that are involved in heavy metals. They achieved a strangle hold and are now using it to impose pressure on governments. I see the flooding of the car markets with far lower cost cars in a...

There is an article about Porsche and the Macan 4S vs X3 M50 vs SQ5. Macan comes 2nd. The interesting thing for this thread is what it says about Porsche‘s difficulty.

Having bought one of the first Lexus RZ450e Takumi’s in the UK, I can absolutely tell you it is not a competitor for the Cayenne ! The RX may be but the RZ is a very poor EV and car. I know you’re comparing against ICE’s but the RZ range is so poor Lexus have had to offer the free use of an ICE...

Mine certainly did and I think it’s very worthwhile. Others on here have also found it very worthwhile. W1nge, were you offered it when you bought your alternative to the EV ? Surely it’s also worth asking if future scuffs can be skimmed.

I would get them to provide Alloy Wheel and Tyre insurance. It’s a dealer option. If the wheels are diamond cut then they can only be refurbed a limited number of times so you may find a minor scuff you do may mean a new wheel. Others on here may be able to tell you how many times you can get...

Keegs- I bought my Macan 4S from them. I found every aspect of them to be excellent. Have you found them to be sound too ?

Isn’t this all a bit unnecessary. The failure was when the owner was using his 11kv charger. He doesn’t own a 22kv charger so having a 11kv charging unit in the car means he has lost nothing. If on a reasonable distance journey a recharge is needed then I very much doubt you would go to (if you...

Has IOS 26 turned off ‘live activity’ in the App ?

It’s funny that they don’t include GRIDSERVE and Fastned in the list of participants. I charged recently at them and instead of their standard fee of £ 0.79 on the Porsche Charging invoice I was charged only 59p.

It starts by saying “those in the know will nod approvingly”. I think that says it all.

Western companies flocked to China as they saw massive opportunities due the to the vast number of potential sales. Unfortunately it was all for short term gain as they trained and provided all the designs and research giving away intellectual rights thus saving the Chinese billions in...

I’m with Eon - when they first announced their EV tariff the peak rate was well over standard rate so it didn’t work for me. They changed and I’m on their EV tariff and it’s saving me over £ 50 / month and I don’t drive that far. Although it’s called their EV tariff the very low rate is for any...

My chargecard works fine too :-

There is some really useful advice on this website- although anyone getting legal advise will already know all this, I’m sure https://www.thecarexpert.co.uk/rejecting-a-car/2/

Reading the announcement it does seem to indicate a change of system rather than improvements. It refers to a fundamental change, new hardware and it doesn't say it is an update to the existing system. Also, if it’s using the same App Centre as the Macan then wouldn’t they be Android apps ? I...
