That sounds like a loose connection somewhere. I can understand that there wouldn’t be a fault code if the car thinks you’ve pressed the power button to switch it off. Obviously that’s pretty serious. I’d be parking that at the dealer until they’d sorted it.

Got mine back a day early.

Juts collected from the detailers after a full week of work and ceramic coating.

My business partner has had it for the last couple of months whilst he's waiting on his (delayed) Taycan arriving. I'm looking forward to getting it back though. It's great for throwing around country lanes and the exhaust note is terrific!

Its the favourable tax regime for EVs that is the very cause of the steep depreciation that you describe. The market for used Taycan's does not have the tax incentive to create the same demand.

On ICE cars the stability control system relies on the ABS speed sensors (and I'll assume that the same is true here) to work properly so the PSM error message suggests that there is definitely a fault with at least one of the braking mechanisms somewhere, so this is definitely not just "normal...

Why on earth would you want to do this? Nothing but hassle, inconvenience and a complete lack of buyers at re-sale time. £120,000 is $150,000 then you'll have import costs, shipping costs, and local taxes to pay. Then you have the differences in charging connector standards between the UK/EU...

You get what you pay for. ;)

I always get my cars ceramic coated but have never done PPF. On the Taycan I did install some PPF sheets myself that I templated and cut with a vinyl cutter I have. Mainly around the back of the wheel arches as I’m running spacers.

£1200. That’s for a full decontamination wash (gets rid of iron, tar etc), 2-stage machine polish of the whole car then coatings applied. The coating is cured using infrared heat-lamps and the car then needs to sit for 2 days. There’s a specialist coating for the textured plastics and the...

Doesn't need doing immediately. The car will be waxed by the dealer and that'll last a while. Personally, I applied a coat of Fusso Wax myself, the weekend I got it. Also it's not like PPF, don't let anyone try to tell you that ceramic coatings protect against physical damage like stone chips...

Difference is all of that £800 is going to them and they have the GTechniq accreditation, which means they're using a professional GTechniq product instead of one that anyone can buy off the net. I'm not saying thats the case with what the OPCs are offering but at least you know exactly what...

Your local detailer is going to charge you the same price whether it comes directly from the dealer to him or whether you drive it around for a couple of months. Might as well get your money's worth out of the polishing stage. I normally get my cars and run then for a few months before I put...

£899 is far too cheap for that job to be done properly and for them to make a decent margin on it. They push it heavily alongside their insurance products. Going rate for a car that size directly with a detailer is about £1000. There are "detailers" out there that advertise 10 year ceramic...

The GTechniq application service the dealers offer is vastly inferior to what you would get from a dedicated detailing company. The fact that they have so much margin to play with is testament to that. It really is the same old “Supaguard” con of old but with a sexier name. My car is currently...

Heat it up with a hair dryer and slide it back on.

Here’s a bit of progress with my little project. This is a generic fibre optic strip connected at both ends to two OEM Porsche LED drivers. These are the standard drivers already found inside the door card that provide light for the door pocket and door pull (wired up to a 12v DC power...

Easy enough to paint or gold plate a set of letters but to get the PORSCHE logo in gold, you'd need to crack open the clear plastic strip (without damaging it) to access the letters inside and then re-seal it up again.

Honestly, it's impossible to say. We ordered two GTSs. One was due in Feb and the other in March. The Feb car has been delayed until sometime between July & September as it's sitting in a German compound with no heater installed. The March car arrived at the end of April, but not before I'd...
