    Insurance

    My Taycan GTS was new in May 23, at which point I paid £1000 for insurance (£600 less than I was paying for a Cayenne E-Hybrid), my renewal is coming round now at the cheapest I am getting through Compare The Market is £4000. What the hell is going on?

    Fuel vs Electron

    When I first got charge anytime I used to set a “ready by” time, but now I just leave it as “charge asap” and it always charges the car straight away without stopping

    Fuel vs Electron

    After reading this thread I can’t believe nobody has mentioned OVO Drive anytime. When I first got my Taycan in May they were offering car charge rates at £0.10 at any time of the day with no negative impact on the cost of household electricity use, they have recently dropped this cost to £0.07...

    UK order status and delays?

    Mine seemed to run smoothly… original completion date slipped by 2 weeks, but it completed on that exact day (24th March) at which point the car went to stage 4 on“myporsche”. It then made its way to Emden and the ship left on the 7th April and arrived in the UK on the 10th April. It then...

    MyPorsche APP - does delayed stage progression mean a delayed car or is the App rubbish?

    I kept reading on here that the Porsche app is completely wrong and lags behind the actual process by around 2 weeks. But my dealer told me my car was due to compete on the 24th March, and on the evening of 24th March my app went to stage 4. So for me it seems to have been perfectly accurate

    Remove front lip

    That looks great. Did you take any photos along the way? Also, does your car have spacers fitted? The stance really looks good in that pic

    Bonehead move - poured washer fluid in brake fluid receptacle

    It needs draining asap as the washer fluid is likely lighter than the brake fluid (like when you mix oil and vinegar) so could find it’s way downwards into the callipers, at which point it will boil when you brake hard and will give you brake fade. It won’t be as bad on a EV compared to an ICE...

    UK order status and delays?

    The completion date of my GTS slipped a few times (by around 4-6 weeks in total), but I was told by my dealer a few weeks ago that my car was due to complete on the 24th March, and hey presto I got the news…..

    Remove front lip

    I’d be very interested to see pics of the whole process as this is a mod I am considering on my GTS when it arrives. Also could you please share the part numbers for the required parts? And an idea of cost? Thanks

    UK friends... anyone due for April delivery aware of any delays ?

    So based on the above some people are experiencing delays longer than 2 weeks already. I feel like this might be the new 12v battery delay all over again. My vin ends 44527 but wasn’t meant to start production until early March, so I don’t think we can use VIN numbers as a guide here

    UK friends... anyone due for April delivery aware of any delays ?

    My GTS was due to be built early March for delivery late March. I spoke to them last week and was told it has been delayed by a few weeks, it is due to complete build on the 24th March ready for mid-April delivery

    Minor Crash / Porsche Hatfield

    Hi mate, fellow UK member here, and I work in the “trade”. I would consider getting the ball rolling with an insurance claim here, for various reasons: - Wheel alignment on a Taycan is a massive job and involves removal of the front bumper, and re-initialisation of the front cameras...

    Road trip charging - London to North East

    I’m in the same boat, I live in Dunstable which is just north of London, and travel to Redcar / Whitby a few times each year and am wondering how I will do it in the Taycan when it comes. I usually stop at Woodall services (on the M1) in my Cayenne so presumed I would do the same in the Taycan...

    Trip Report: my first relative long distance trip - about 350 miles

    Sorry to jump in on this thread with a newbie question, but have I got this right?….. You need to make a 350 mile trip, and you are setting off with a 100% charged battery and you need to make 3 stops along the way in order to complete this journey? I thought the range was around 280 miles with...

    BOSE Delays

    Having driven a demo for the weekend that had the standard stereo there is no way I would accept the car without Bose. My 2021 Cayenne Coupe has Bose and my family genuinely laughed at the quality of the standard stereo. I am still yet to get an allocation for my GTS Saloon, but if they try...

    gtechniqplatinum ceramic coating

    I had the GTech platinum applied to my 2021 Cayenne Coupe by Porsche East London when it was new, and I ordered Solid black as I believe it is the best finish when clean…. I have been disappointed by bird poo damaging the paint finish, even if cleaned off straight away (it got crapped on when I...

    Question for car tinkerers...

    If it were me I would go with the Porsche Specialist, either company would be able to do the job but I would bet the Porsche specialist would be more careful
