    Taycan ski trip - UK to the Alps

    Also interested in a response to this. Perhaps the predicted range the car gives could be slightly affected? Very strange as Porsche do offer 21” NF0 winter tyres, yet aren’t on the PCM 🤔

    Taycan ski trip - UK to the Alps

    The kind words are very much appreciated. Yes, funnily enough we had some music from Top Gear playing on parts of the journey (more so while travelling back through the night). There’s something wonderfully road-trippy and almost space-age about a lot of that music, which is perfect for long...

    Taycan ski trip - UK to the Alps

    100% agree with the overall point but it’s important to note that it is hard not to overcharge in certain circumstances, especially with a car that charges so fast. I disagree with the overnight charge (or least in our circumstances). There are 12 Superchargers on site (no AC), and only 5–6...

    Taycan ski trip - UK to the Alps

    We awoke relaxed and ready for the day ahead and enjoyed breakfast at a nice cafe beside the beautiful Lake Geneva. We set off on around 45% having decided not to charge at one of the two 22kW destination chargers the hotel’s underground parking offered despite having optioned the 22kW On-board...

    Taycan ski trip - UK to the Alps

    We found ‘Sport’ mode to be the perfect match with its more weighted steering and rear wheel biased set up, and accompanied it with the electric sport sound. Recuperation ON is necessary to keep the car from 'rolling away' and also of course puts energy back into the battery pack.

    Taycan ski trip - UK to the Alps

    Much appreciated, we drove from Northern England to the South East and got the Eurotunnel train (LeShuttle now). This takes around 20-25 minutes at 100mph which goes from Folkestone (UK) to Calais (FR).

    Taycan ski trip - UK to the Alps

    PORSCHE CHARGING LOUNGE NYON A QR-code given to us on the My Porsche App opened the automatic gates, welcoming us with four 400kW chargers and an empty, heated lounge all to ourselves, with a coffee and vending machine, books, toy cars, toilets etc. The Taycan charged from 16-54% SOC...

    Taycan ski trip - UK to the Alps

    We seamlessly boarded a busy, but not overcrowded, Eurotunnel train at 7 in the morning filled with plenty of UK cars that were heading into the continent for Christmas. We were ready to embark on our 500-mile journey to Geneva with 92% SOC, and 176 miles of range. After plenty of potholes...

    Taycan ski trip - UK to the Alps

    Hello and welcome to our first big proper continental European road trip in our March 2023 [MY23] Taycan 4S Cross Turismo. The car is fitted with 21-Inch Cross Turismo Design wheels, a panoramic roof, and we swapped the regular 265/35/21 and 305/30/21 Pirelli P-Zero Elect NF0 summer tyres for...

    The Porsche Taycan is my biggest disappointment this decade

    Zero complaints about mine, love it. 👍

    Base Spec Musts (UK)

    - Full leather interior, if you can! Not sure with this gen, but the last had a rubber dash which imo felt extremely cheap for a 100k car. - 4+1 seats, convenient for the odd time you need to carry an extra passenger. - Electric Sport Sound, I drive with it all the time & it’s amazing IMO. -...

    Best Winter Tyres for Taycan?

    Planning a trip to Switzerland from the UK in winter in my 2023 4S CT. Need some winter tyres for the trip of course, just wondering which ones to get. I am on 265/35 R21 and 305/30 R21 ‘Cross Turismo Design’ alloys. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated ?

    Taycan roof rack and accessories

    Hello all, My new Taycan CT has arrived and I specced it with no roof rails and I am wondering if the rail-less bars from Porsche Tequipment will work on the wagon? My car does have a pan roof so it looks like it may be available. Thanks in advance,
