Did you hear from the dealer or check in with them Gary to confirm your car arrived today?

I’d guess so. However, my salesperson is now on holiday until a week Monday. Hence I’ll be flying blind for the next 9 days. Thanks for sharing. I had no idea Monday was the potential landing date for the car at the dealership. Are you planning to ask to see yours on Monday?

I always said, if you could build a car engineered by Porsche but running Tesla software….now that would be utopia! The only issue would be it would be 3 years late coming to market after preview!

Is that Carmine Red or PTS Guards Red Matt? Looks the business! If I get around to having a third Taycan, I think red will be next.

Ignore that last post. Found you can access the full specification via My Porsche on the web. Like you Gary, relieved to say…the Matrix lights are there! ??

How did you access the area where you can see what parts have been fitted to your vehicle Gary, like the Matrix lights? I can’t find that via the My Porsche app.

No, my car is not at the dealership. Told still at Grimsby, but the systems are starting to come alive via My Porsche etc. The dealer contacted me rather than the other way around. I’m lucky that my particular salesperson at the dealership is quite senior and very experienced. I know from my own...

As I’ve mentioned on another thread, I’ve learned from Porsche GB today via my dealer that there are currently no plans to update MY22 Taycans to the latest PCM software build, but that a decision may be made in the future to provide this update, which would be orchestrated via a visit to a...

So, a mixed day today. Received two different comms from my dealer. One, together with Porsche, was the setup code for ‘My Porsche’ to link to my vehicle. The other was more disappointing. Apparently the car cannot be updated to the latest build version of PCM software prior to handover. My...

Congratulations Iain!

I plan to once I receive an update on when they expect the transporter to arrive. They normally get 24 hours’ notice apparently. Are you going to ask also?

Depends whether part of your salary package you give to yourself has justification for a company car to take you to and from your place of work and visiting clients etc. if your business mileage that you would declare on the car is nil, then you would obviously struggle and be open to challenge...

You can claim the full capital allowance against a full EV over 3 years, hence offsetting the full cost in that period against tax due from profits. However, you need to ensure your business has title to the car or have finance where you have to take title the car at the end of the term. If you...

For reference, post Brexit, it can take at least 7 days to clear customs at U.K. ports. Assuming there are no issues with the paperwork. I assume this is the cause for delay. Congrats Gary on your good news! Think it’s safe to assume our vehicles will now arrive at the dealership on the same...

I’ll be definitely asking the question. They certainly have time to complete the update, assuming dealers have now been given instructions on how to update to the new variant (does anyone know if they have yet in the UK?); I’ve provisionally agreed with the dealership to register mine as a 22...

Having had a Taycan previously, I have to say range anxiety was never a problem. Even going to London, it’s easy to plan a route taking in Ionity fast chargers. The car is recharged in the time it takes to get a Starbucks and pay a call of nature. Plus, you have the satisfaction of knowing...

Not sure if you have seen it but Oliver Blume, Porsche’s CEO, gave an interview to one of Germany’s leading newspapers (available throughout the Porsche Newsroom website) in recent days. He was pressed hard on the semiconductor shortages and suggested that Porsche expect this to affect new...

Fit parts not for parts. Far fingers this morning.

I’m told they go around the area where they’ve been holding the cars at the docks in golf karts and for parts as hoc as necessary. Does make you worry. One suspects that’s work that’s outsourced to cheap labour. Or maybe I’m just pessimistic. Ignorance is bliss.

There does appear to be increasing credence to the fact that any non Turbo / Turbo S vehicle built from Jan 1 2022 doesn’t have Matrix at present. As to your own predicament, as someone who has only ever spec‘d cars for the past 20 years with the most powerful lights available, I couldn’t accept...
