    Guardian article on the woes of charging ( taycan )

    This might help, there is another page by Porsche which shows a 3-year plan with ionity. I will dig that out. More than 200 Ionity fast-charging parks are already in operation along motorways and main traffic routes in Europe. By the end of 2020, the number is expected to be around 400...

    12 volt dead battery POLL

    Sorry you are having this problem. This is coming up far too often. I wonder if one could put a return car contract in place with a dealer if this happened a new car, given most deny its an issue. Probably not but worth a go.

    Discounts on in-stock 2020 4S

    A discount from Porsche in the UK is not an easy thing to get, unless I am bad at negotiating :p

    Turbo ordered - freeze date tomorrow ( 22nd Dec ) - missed anything??

    I reckon I might be on my own here but I drive a lot around Silverstone and track days and I never look at the dash or a HUD. It all detracts from the feel of the car and engine. As EV is worse for feeling the car as its so damned silent, perhaps HUD helps more on EVs?

    Taycan Waiting Room: Who has ordered and a delivery date?

    I did get some good news. Apparently, a memorandum has been sent to Porsche dealers that January deliveries will not be hit with a price hike despite Brexit and possibly not at all. It's a bit "loose" but it sounds like they may have found a workaround.

    Turbo ordered - freeze date tomorrow ( 22nd Dec ) - missed anything??

    Yes I did consider that but other than going carbon fibre which isn't an option, I think black is still better than silver, peronsal opinion of course. :cool:

    Turbo ordered - freeze date tomorrow ( 22nd Dec ) - missed anything??

    Looks fantastic. I am not convinced about the 150 charger either but ordered it just in case. The only addition and it's free, is: Door Sill Guards brushed Aluminium in Black if you wanted the black similar to window surrounds?

    Taycan Waiting Room: Who has ordered and a delivery date?

    Mine just sent me this :( Status showing as ‘ Port Emden’ – see below. It’s not looking very likely that it will arrive here any time soon as lots of the cars are being held back at the ports in Germany and the UK. Hope to have more of an update next week for you. Ho-hum, if it doesn't arrive...

    Car died over night…

    Was it just the battery issue, or other issues with the car that made you cancel the order?

    One week in

    I wanted Red leather but was not plucky enough, sure it's awesome to sit in but the wife would have smacked my bottom if I chose it (I also wanted carmine red and wasn't allowed that either :CWL:). Having had the Model 3, I really enjoyed autopilot and still use it when grabbing my sunglasses or...

    One week in

    Hi, I have a similar car on order with Bristol, it's built and sitting in a port somewhere - hopefully in my hands before Brexit but not entirely hopeful. I will have to see what happens. This is mine, what wheels did you get, be good to get your full spec if you have time...

    Taycan Waiting Room: Who has ordered and a delivery date?

    Hopefully when all the poop has passed from 2020, someone will organise a Taycan beer day? :please:

    Taycan Waiting Room: Who has ordered and a delivery date?

    Sounds like you both got it just about right time wise. It's touch and go as to whether mine will land in time. Dealer suspects they can assign car to me as soon as it hits the UK port.

    Which options improve range?

    Agreed. I have owned Tesla's and frankly, I don't think they make 400-mile cars either. I don't really see anyone can, it's down to the pure maths of EV cars - yes tyres and drag all make differences but put a 19" Tesla 100D (400 stated range) here in a UK winter on a motorway at 70/80mph and...

    Taycan Waiting Room: Who has ordered and a delivery date?

    Car built 12th December, on the way to Emden now. Hopefully here before Brexit - we shall see! http://www.porsche-code.com/PMEF8M57

    Guardian article on the woes of charging ( taycan )

    I have learnt something there. I even wrote to Ionity to ask them about prices and they didn't mention this. That makes a huge difference, thank you for that enlightenment.

    Guardian article on the woes of charging ( taycan )

    My biggest gripe with Ionity is the price. At £0.69 per kwh they are three times the price of a tesla charger and a whopping 14 times the price of off-peak overnight charging. I think the realistic range of a Taycan 200/250 miles suits UK roads fairly well, so this shouldn't be a big issue as...
