It's lovely for left handers like me, same as manual gear changes too, always that bit slicker in a RHD car when you're a lefty. I fond the touchpad on the dial in the i3 super slick for entering postcodes/addresses as it was better positioned than the trackpad in the Taycan. Haven't used the...

I get the sense data is much more regulated or limited in the US than in Europe. I've certainly been used to unlimited Europe wide data for at least a decade now so I never have to think about it I just use it so this is extremely incongruous and should be a very simple solution. In fact the...

I'm fully aware that video uses data thanks. I have unlimited data for exactly that reason. My point is that Porsche shouldn't sell you a PRSE that cannot work because of their errors. If they set it up to stream only then they should provide the necessary data to allow it to work It...

It seems to be an iPad per se with no storage, just a wifi enabled screen. If I wanted to use my phone as the driver/tether then I can't use Carplay. 6 years with the Cayenne PRSE from 2010 and it was great, DVDs, TV reception for sport, crosslink so they could watch stuff in sync etc...

Update: drove back from the Alps yesterday. Data had reactivated Jan 8 and so we all settled in for the 1200kms with all toys connected and no iPads connected to the WLAN. Only the PRSE was linked. Boys switched on Netflix once near Albertville and the road stopped winding. 5 hours later they...

I have it too, got the car mid December. You do need the data add on for it to work easily. The problem is the 7gb runs out quite easily, especially if other devices are being used on the network. At the point it runs out the car is offline apart from charger info in the nav until the data...

Ironically the inbuilt SIM and I presume therefore WLAN provider is Vodafone and it’s a +44 (UK) so how they’ve messed up the data and geolocation is beyond me.

We’ll see. Only had the car a week before the data ran out so need it back, happens Sunday, and then can resume testing and workarounds. One definitive learning is not to do Teams video calls using the WLAN!

Mine said ‘Electric Steering Column’ on other options but that was untrue.

Simply because you need it for the rear seat entertainment, which I have, to work. I have unlimited European data on my phone which is increasing my frustration significantly. There is some kind of Catch-22 here based on my pre Xmas experience. In order to cast a World Cup game to the PRSE I...

Think I said this elsewhere but the 2 big issues we have had with the data is 1. When you hit 7gb which we did in one day driving to France every connected part of the car is gone until the next monthly renewal as there is no top up available. Porsche Smart Mobility UK are currently talking to...

I have watched lots of videos of EVs being flung around the Anglesey circuit so I would have thought there must be a fast charger there? Driving to Holyhead I am expecting to use Porsche Chester and 80% from there should easily get me to IONITY well south of Dublin. As for plug and charge, it...

Looking at the IONITY map for Ireland I can see a certain logic to where they are and why they’re not rushing to build more. That said you feel putting some east and west of Cork or near the tunnel to cover both and around Limerick would really help. A friend’s wife spent 6 hours queueing at...

Yes thanks, not using the car much for the next few weeks so will see what happens Jan 8 and work from there. Unless Porsche AG come back to me in the meantime.

I would have said all of this too but everything was working fine until the data text from Porsche to say we’d run out. All your logical points I agree with but I can assure you I tried various workarounds to no avail. No Spotify/Apple Music/Podcasts. The data upgrade does allow use as a...

If we’d known it devoured that much data she wouldn’t have been on camera. We were trying to understand how it had happened and Google showed lots of people had blown their data limits using Teams. It won’t happen again. The data costs £20 a month for 7gb Europe wide. You buy it via the Porsche...

I think you get 1gb standard and can buy 7gb extra a month. There is no top up possibility either, I spent an hour on the phone to Porsche Smart Mobility last Saturday and in the end they said they’d have to escalate it to Germany. My wife doing a long Teams call on camera blew the entire 7gb...

You might have used up your data allowance for the month. That has happened me, the wifi is used to connect Carplay but because it has no data left nothing works.

Interesting note on the range prediction. I was in a ski resort the other day, car at 63% and predicting 190kms pottering about. Went to leave and put my destination in the nav and the range instantly jumped to 248kms as it knew it was going downhill for a big stretch. The topography and...

I was quite happy to be honest. Temperature never got above zero and we were doing 135 on the French motorways most of the way until the heavens opened. Normal mode, heated seats, wheel, full a/c. UK end was miserable left at 922 and didn’t reach France until 1500 which brought the average...
