Given it's only done 30 miles total I'm not too worried about what the range is telling me yet. Interestingly the dealer told me yesterday that for the first 2-300 miles the regen isn't working, as the car beds in the brakes first / so at the moment whenever I brake its straight to wheel braking...

Colour is chalk inside and volcano grey outside. Chalk has hint of grey and matches well Here's a couple more pics!

I took it for a short spin yesterday - to take bread and milk to my 85 year old mum! Only did 10 miles. Will try to find legitimate excuses over next few days to give it some miles and put a smile on my face. I'm thrilled to have it but also very sober about the context of everything else that's...

4S in volcano grey received 24 March in UK, drives beautifully. Updated with first impressions: I took it for a short spin yesterday - to take bread and milk to my 85 year old mum! Only did 10 miles. Will try to find legitimate excuses over next few days to give it some miles and put a smile...

I was very lucky - I got my 4S minutes before lockdown

Wouldn't that mean no UK Taycans get delivered at all, as I thought the first day for collection was meant to be tomorrow?

The launch date for UK cars is tomorrow (Tuesday 24th), so any cars we see until then are at the dealer waiting to be released. They'll all be right hand drive but it's likely the government will lock down all non essential business in the next couple of days so there may be no or literally only...

Chester

You're right it's in transport mode (and the wheels are 20 inch rather than the standard 19s)

Mine arrived at the dealer yesterday - nearly three weeks early! Only one they've got for now and don't know when any more will arrive

Hmmm. So they're telling us that our body is 60% water and the rest is soul. I hope their command of science is more fact-based with the Taycan than it is with human biology! Otherwise I'll be giving back my 4S when it arrives next month ;)

Congrats on being the first in the UK - although that's a limited celebration given you can't get your hands or feet on your beautiful car! Mine's a few weeks behind you but we may end up with it at the same time. FWIW, my Andersen arrived unannounced via a courier yesterday, a month before the...

Chester. They're very helpful, I speak to them every couple of weeks and they check the schedules and let me know any changes. I guess they're no more in control of the process than we are so they're very noncommittal about whether the dates are 'firm' or how much more slippage there may be...

Yes, I heard that the Chester one will be April 2

I visited my UK dealer this morning - he's kindly lent me a 911 4S for the day so I have some fun while I'm waiting for my Taycan! What a fabulous car. I took the chance to check on production. Previously my car was due at the dealership March 27, now it's slipped 14 days to April 10. He also...

@louv Thanks for this fabulous thread. A non technical question - are you (or, sorry, more accurately, is the car!) attracting lots of attention everywhere you go? And if so is it mainly car nerds (like us?!) or general public won over by the car's looks? I know that when I'm out with my...

@Austin_yeahbaby mine's a 4S. Thanks for the update, I'm hoping that mine will only be delayed a week or two given that i already wasn't getting it until first week in April - to be fair they have always been cagey about committing to a set date of course! I'll keep you posted on what I find out...

That's a very fair point and I'm sure a very relevant one for highly skilled drivers who will be exploring the limits of the car's handling and for whom each kg is a factor. That's not me, but I'm sure it is a real issue for some people. I guess those people will also be opting for dynamic...

My order is also from Chester and was locked down a couple of weeks before Christmas. When I last spoke to them last week, factory completion is due 21 Feb and the car is due at the dealer 27 March for collection first week in April - but I'm seeing them Monday and will check again.
