    Why is the Taycan so prone to tire punctures?

    In the same period, same (getting old at 44) driver, same driving ability, same roads and same routes - and same enemies lol - I’ve driven other vehicles for similar distances (14k on my other personal vehicle, and I also run other company vehicles locally) which haven’t suffered the same rate...

    Broken Britain :) Our roads are embarrassing

    Why is the Taycan so prone to tire punctures?

    That makes sense - someone else had also mentioned that it’s an EV thing

    Why is the Taycan so prone to tire punctures?

    Before getting my Taycan I’d been driving 24 years and had one puncture in that time. Since having the Taycan (almost 3 years) I’ve suffered 7. Annoyingly 3 in the last 3 weeks. I’ve only done 16k miles over those 3 years too. It’s been a mix of screw, nail, cuts to the rubber down to the...

    EU/UK: Ongoing navigation issues [Solved with PCM v3892]

    Don’t worry, I’m in a “better laugh it off” phase with this car. 1 week later I got an irreparable puncture in another tyre too. I’ve already made my max 2 tyre claims on insurance this year so it’s been an expensive month. On the plus side, the navigation continues to work fine with charge...

    Cayenne EV First-Drive Reviews Are Here

    Jaguar do the I-Pace which is an all electric SUV, I was wrong about Lambo, no idea where I got that info from. It was a genuine question because I drove a brand new Cayenne last week but it was a hybrid and it wasn’t a “fun” drive, it felt no different to any other large SUV. I know the...

    Cayenne EV First-Drive Reviews Are Here

    Is “fun to drive” unique among all electric SUVs then? The Cayenne is the only one that’s fun to drive? What about the Lotus, Jaguar, Lambo ones? Genuine question as I haven’t driven the new Cayenne, only the hybrid and that wasn’t fun at all

    Cayenne EV First-Drive Reviews Are Here

    I’m not sure what sets this EV SUV apart from any other electric SUV. Other than brand loyalty, what’s the unique selling point?

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    When the Mission E was announced the pics really made me lust after one. I’m feeling the same with the RS5 which I haven’t felt for years with any car

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    This is exactly where I am. Plan to keep the Taycan but will absolutely test drive the RS5 Avant and change to that if it’s any good

    EU/UK: Ongoing navigation issues [Solved with PCM v3892]

    They found a number of large slits down to the cords on the rears - I believe because I had to drive ver debris from a recent accident on the way..the accident had happened minutes before, so they weren't safe to drive. To be fair I always prefer having tyres done at the OPC because when I had...

    EU/UK: Ongoing navigation issues [Solved with PCM v3892]

    Got mine back, they didn’t update the PCM afterall and just told me the workaround is to disable charge planning (which to be fair as worked). Mind you they also couldn’t replicate any of my numerous other issues, creaks, rattles etc so basically did nothing other than sell me 2 new unexpected...

    Can you still upgrade to power steering plus OTA?

    thank you, I didn’t know about that website. It’s showing there so will upgrade :)

    Can you still upgrade to power steering plus OTA?

    When I first got the car, upgrading to power steering plus was an option on the (now defunct) My Porsche website as a one off charge, OTA upgrade. With that website now replaced by the app is it still possible to purchase the upgrade? I’ve always thought it made the steering too light and...

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    Sit rep - I think the best alternative to the J1.1 is actually the J1.2 so kudos to those who said exactly that earlier in this thread. I’m currently in a base spec J1.2 loaner and the range - 340 showing at 100%, 300 still left after pottering around all day - is a game changer vs the 1.1...

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    Had to give the Cayenne back, now in a J1.2 base, poverty spec. But even that is awesome to drive, perhaps because I jumped out of a tank immediately before.

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    Matt grey and Bristol for me :) I almost fell out the chair going through the first roundabout a bit too enthusiastically. Regardless of how much hassle it gives me, you just can't beat the Taycan for driving experience (ignoring the 911)

    What's the best alternative to the Taycan?

    I'm in a Cayenne hybrid today, it's a tank. Having stuck a couple hours charge in (the battery was flat on pickup) it's definitely interesting being able to switch from battery (in town) to engine (which I used on the motorway), and also letting the car choose (which seemed to follow no...

    Porsche mulling Panamera and Taycan Merger

    My dealer this morning is still saying they're expecting a new Taycan in 28/29 and haven't heard anything different. Though often the sales guys and gals are the least in-the-know
