Just had an email from Osprey charging to say their rapid chargers will be going up to £1 / kWh. At that rate, a diesel car is going to be much cheaper to run

Got a message today on starting the car: "Emergency call function fault. Inspection necessary" Came on this morning. Got where I was going then parked all day. Came on again this evening. No obvious lack of car functionality including connects to app and allows me to send navigation locations to...

Hi. Sorry if this is covered but I can’t find it anywhere. I have only charged at home and at work so far but understand the need to pre condition the battery if charging at a DC charger to get the best rates. But how do I do this if the charger isn’t a Porsche one? I am using My Porsche and was...

Hi, this question is specific to the Andersen charger in the UK. I have one fitted with a CT clamp on my incoming power supply. Initially the clamp was fitted the wrong way round but is now the correct way round. When I look in the energy tab of the Konnect app, it shows -0.5kW usage. It goes...

I can‘t find this anywhere but also can’t believe it would not be an available function… is there any way to add the current location of the car as a favourite or as my home address? I could just add the post code, which comes close, but sometimes search areas are a bit off and if it is a...

Hi all. I think I know the answer to this one, but looking at Zap-Map there are quite a few charge points with type 2 43kW and CCS 50kW. If I plug into the CCS then I should get 50kW. If I plug into the type 2, is that AC charging? So I would only get 11kW (or 22kW if having the 22kW charger for...

This is probably a stupid question… But is is possible the get the sport chrono clock to do anything other than tick round the second hand? I know there’s a digital display and you can use it as a stopwatch, but can you get it to just tell the time? Like an ordinary watch? Or can you only do...

I had an extra test drive yesterday. Intended just to go an listen to the stereos and check the seats but was booked in to take the car for a few hours. As time was a little short, I drove home up the motorway. I hadn’t intended to take the car on the motorway and as it was quite busy I tried...

I am interested in how many have the pano roof in the UK. Apparently “most people want it” but some threads from hotter countries suggest that it may be unpleasant in hot sunny weather. I am not sure whether to spec it, mainly for resale in 3-4 years. I know that some on here will tell me that...

As far as I can tell, a UK Taycan comes with a mobile charger. There are (I think) 2 cables that come with this. The first is a 13A connector that goes in any ordinary socket. The second seems to be a plug that goes in a red 32A industrial outlet. This second cable can optionally be swapped for...

Hi all. Question for the UK members. Just got a build slot and in the paperwork is the list of optional extras. I had wondered about a ceramic coating but thought it might be too much of a nuisance to get done as I would be without my only car for 2-3 days. The dealer is offering G techniq...

Hi. Just specking a 4S build and the dealer recommended the ambient lighting option. No too expensive at £299 but I am not sure that I really need it. My question is what it gives you that is extra. I know it allows you to have coloured lights in various areas like the cup holders and foot...

Looking at charging now I have an order in place. At one end of my house is a blue 3 point socket that previous owners used to plug in a caravan. I understand they come in 16 and 32 amp. I am guessing this is 16 looking at the cover - does anyone know for certain if I am correct? Thanks

Having been for a test drive Test drive 911 and Taycan | Porsche Taycan Forum - TaycanForum.com I have put together a draft spec. Any comments welcome - although I understand this is a risky business and you will collectively try to add £10k to the build cost! Here is the Porsche code...

Having been wondering about a 911 I posted on here a couple of weeks ago and got your views on a 911 vs Taycan (obviously in favour of the Taycan) and took both for a test drive. My 19 year old son insisted on coming along. The 911 Carerra 4S was up first and it is fair to say my son had...

I am considering buying a Taycan (test drive next week) and have been doing a bit of research on the forum. The biggest concern I found was buried in the posts from a few months ago. It seems that (in common with all EVs - apparently) that as the level of charge drops below 50% the available...

Hi all. Just researching whether a Taycan is the right car for me. I see that BP are supposed to be rolling out 150kW charging on their forecourts. I can’t find a definitive answer to the voltage that they will be using. Presumably if 400V then the Taycan can only take advantage of this with the...

Hi all. Loving reading your forum and the wealth of information. I have been in a Macan for the last 4 years and feel it is time for a change. 1 son has mostly left home and can drive himself, so less need for ferrying around. I have always fancied a 911 and was looking into this possibility...
