    RWD Traction Concerns

    I'm currently considering purchasing a Taycan, but I have reservations about the RWD basic model. Speed isn't a major concern for me, but I am apprehensive about potential loss of traction, especially in wet conditions. Have you noticed the rear end slipping out frequently when driving the RWD...

    Winter Tyres Dilemma: Seeking Advice on Taycan Wheels

    You might find this interesting. There's a guy in Norway conducting thorough battery tests. He's quite geeky but has conducted tests on how long batteries retain their charge, how quickly they charge, what factors affect battery degradation, and which ones degrade the most, etc. You can download...

    Winter Tyres Dilemma: Seeking Advice on Taycan Wheels

    I wouldn't think so, but I'm no accountant. I would just rely on what they state on the HRMC website to play it safe.

    Would you buy a Taycan again?

    Best home charger for the Taycan?

    Apologies if this has already been posted, but every time I search, it directs me to the US forum. What are the best home chargers for the Taycan? Any suggestions, or did you simply go with Porsche's recommendation, which I believe is Andersen EV?

    Winter Tyres Dilemma: Seeking Advice on Taycan Wheels

    Obviously I'm not talking about a new car with 50 miles, hence why I used the word used.

    Winter Tyres Dilemma: Seeking Advice on Taycan Wheels

    I'm concerned about how it was charged and the state of the battery, etc. While with combustion cars, I can assess the vehicle from its service history, when it comes to the battery, there's no way to determine its degradation. For example, how was it charged? Has it undergone fast charging...

    Winter Tyres Dilemma: Seeking Advice on Taycan Wheels

    You're welcome! I might consider buying a used car privately, leading to a higher tax payment in the 40% bracket. Despite capital allowances, the possible depreciation may outweigh the benefits. This prompts me to consider purchasing a combustion engine, eliminating all the hassles associated...

    Winter Tyres Dilemma: Seeking Advice on Taycan Wheels

    My useless accountant told me that too. To be honest, hardly anyone knows, but it's incorrect, and here's why. This is taken from the HRMC manual CA23145... https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-allowances-manual/ca23145 "What is meant by ‘unused and not second hand’? A vehicle is...

    Winter Tyres Dilemma: Seeking Advice on Taycan Wheels

    I'm considering giving it another try next week. I'll pose the question and act disappointed, hoping that the dealership might throw in some winter wheels for free or knock down the price. I'm skeptical, but it's worth a shot . One thing I've observed is that Porsche sells all-season 21-inch...

    Winter Tyres Dilemma: Seeking Advice on Taycan Wheels

    Thanks for your response. Initially, I had planned to purchase a Taycan as a company car a few days ago. It was an ex-demo model with a reduced price, only 50 miles on the odometer, full extras, and qualified for a 100% capital allowance. However, I'm reluctant to deal with the hassle of...

    Winter Tyres Dilemma: Seeking Advice on Taycan Wheels

    Hi everyone, I'm new here and not very knowledgeable about cars. Yesterday, I was considering buying a Taycan, but I decided against it due to a concern about the wheels. The Porsche dealership couldn't provide me with a satisfactory answer, so I'm hoping one of you knowledgeable folks might...
