No, I totally respect your opinion and in fact if you search my previous posts I’ve actually echoed it numerous times before, and people haven’t liked it. If you buy a 100k car you can’t moan at the ongoing costs.
I also don’t believe that Connect is a premium product. And I also don’t believe...
Only person arguing is you, everyone else is giving their alternate point of view. The discussion may be useless to you but you’re very welcome to stop responding to every counter-opinion with another repeat of yours.
Forums are for debate and discussion, ideally politely and remembering that...
I guess the suggestion here is that people who can afford a Porsche have enough money to easily afford the Connect subscription
What’s being missed is that, in my experience, people who have enough money to afford lots of nice things also have high standards and high expectations. Spending...
I'm banking on 2029 for something new, sticking another 3 year extended warranty on, 3 years tyre/alloy cover, 3 years Porsche assistance. That said, that would mean 6 years total with this car which has been a huge PITA and I've never kept even cars I love for that long.
Sadly OVO needs the Connect package to work so the dilemma is whether the monthly service charge for Porsche Connect is worth it to benefit from 14p/kWh Charge Anytime rate vs your standard rate. You'd need to charge with approx 290kWh a month to break even.
I'm in the same dilemma and...
Porsche designed the Taycan to feel as much like ICE as an EV can so not to lose its driving experience. I suspect that's why it has things like this that are different to most other EVs.
That said, it's exactly the same in our Mini
No concrete news on a J1.3 let alone a J2.1, so a good time to buy. Estimates are 2029 I believe for a facelift or new model, at least that's what I keep being told.
For us in the UK, not really. Most people are on a fixed rate plan at home, and while I don't charge at public chargers very often I've been looking ready for 3 long trips this month and the prices don't seem any higher than usual.
What's interesting to me is that for the first time I've had numerous people comment "I bet you haven't actually noticed any difference in motoring costs since the war" and "you're laughing with cheap motoring". Previously the only cost related comments I'd ever had were "isn't it more...
It took my 8 months for them to admit there was a problem and stop claiming they'd never heard of nav issues before...so that doesn't surprise me. I'm booked in for MOT in mid-June so hoping they'll have figured it out by then
I'm off to Europe late May too, but am planning on using CarPlay mainly rather than miss out the opportunity to use the Taycan on the nice highways. Since disabling charge planning mine has been fine too
55k to a dealer who won't kick the tyres and try to screw you down (presumably), and you know are good for the money and the money hasn't been laundered...I'd bite their arm off.
I’m a motorcycle rider of over 20yrs including multiple advanced training and certification. I’d hope that my punctures aren’t, as others keep suggesting, a result of my poor driving or “old” age (I’m 44)
Yeh I’ve got a repair to my other front tyre - dealer refused but local tyre place had no worries about it. Sadly this one was a particularly nasty angle and the tyre shop wanted to repair but couldn’t.
I have that, it's paid back many times over - but sadly limited to 2 claims per year for tyres so I've used that up this year a couple times over. I paid £450 originally and have claimed 1 repair, 3 tyres and 1 alloy wheel refurb so it's been worth every penny. The policy expires in June so...
Not at all, this thread has convinced me that it’s pure bad luck and coincidence, and that when I asked the same question on social media the fact I got the opposite response to on here proves the low value of social media and it’s algorithm designed to amplify your views rather than challenge...
