    Besides Its Considerable Price, Active Ride Considerations.

    PAR is on all the time if you spec it, it cannot be disabled, and it is active in all modes. Only in normal mode you can update the setting to dial it up by enabling the 'active lean' and 'comfort braking + acceleration' functions as per Mr.Smith above. Having these settings turned on means...

    2025 Taycan TPMS issue after 3B.24 PCM update

    Do you have original J1.2 wheels on? Previous model J1.1 TPMS is not compatible. If not sounds like a bug to get dealer to fix.

    C&D on PAR

    Interesting read, PAR is the best feature on my J1.2, it shows most strongly smoothing out larger bumps and dips at higher speeds, the car is so stable, smooth and relaxing. It is an expensive option but worth it for me driving over 20k miles PA.

    Besides Its Considerable Price, Active Ride Considerations.

    After 10k miles PAR is the best part of my J1.2, I love it, the ride quality and stability, especially at higher speeds, is superb, best I've experienced in any car by some margin (and my previous J1.1 CT was a pretty good start point). When cornering you still know you are going round a corner...

    Retrofit of the J1II HV Battery into J1I vehicles

    It is great the J1.2 battery can be retrofitted to J1.1 cars, Porsche not abandoning the original vehicles. Will be interesting to see if anyone on here gets one.

    ARB6 Recall notice UK....

    This is a perfect storm for Porsche: 1: the complexity of the issue from diagnosis to repair 2: the lack of knowledge and HV electric qualified skill across the service network 3: the scale, Porsche sold more Taycan than it expected c. 151k cars They will want to fix all cars but simply...

    "Porsche issues parking warning to EV owners to prevent devastating fires" - article

    at least they state that electric cars are 20 times less likely to catch fire than petrol/diesel cars....... sadly in the small print.

    J1.2 battery charging looks much less lossy than my J1

    I have noticed the reduced losses when charging, small help but I miss the 22kW option on my J1. @daveo4EV it is inserting the 9.6kW thing, Porsche now quote this is a specific AC charging speed for both the Taycan and Macan. I get why you'd be pissed if the advertised speed is 11kW however it...

    Mountain Test Drive of the 2025 Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo J1.2

    I had the performance + in the J1 and the same battery in the J1.2 has 15% more capacity (something like 84 vs 97 useable kWh) but weighs less. It is due primarily to different chemistry between J1 and J1.2 batteries so the J1.2 also charges faster and operates at a wider temp range, for example...

    Bottomed Out - £6,000 Bill + £26,000 for a battery

    I doubt +22mm would have made much difference, the dent may have been a little less, perhaps 6mm. Hope the repair is not too difficult.

    Mountain Test Drive of the 2025 Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo J1.2

    I use my J1.2 daily and cover a lot of miles commuting and it s c. 15% more efficient than my J1, add the 15% bigger battery it has c. 30% more range. I have not changed body style, so saloon to CT may/will be cancelling out the efficiency gain, in particular at motorway speeds. Enjoy the...

    How reliable (or unreliable) are these cars.... really ?!?

    Taycan has been the least reliable car I've ever owned (by a fair margin) but I still love it due to the performance

    New J1.2 Taycan Software Update -- New Features Detailed

    My car was in for warranty work and got this update, here are the new performance menus in English. Much of it is meh but the real time consumption and real time overboost power is interesting. The real time consumption will more easily demonstrate how different motorway cruise speeds...

    Defeating Active Ride Suspension ‘Comfort Entry’

    Dealer error. It is found here in the menu: Comfort -> Porsche Active Ride -> "Comfort Entry Height" Not to be mistaken with: Comfort -> "Comfort Entry" (which is the seat and steering wheel moving)

    Buying Advice, new Porsche (Taycan Turbo S)

    Get a price from your local dealer for a battery health check and try to negotiate the same amount off the new car price if the supplying dealer refuses to do it for you. Also get confirmation in writing that the under tray is undamaged with photos, this would be a deal breaker for me given the...

    Defeating Active Ride Suspension ‘Comfort Entry’

    this is correct, it's a feature and easily turned on or off in the PCM.

    Bottomed Out - £6,000 Bill + £26,000 for a battery

    Your dent is not in the centre so the bigger tolerance may apply. I’d want an official written confirmation from Porsche Germany on the tolerances before they start taking it to pieces and ramping up costs. We know from user experiences the tolerance ranges from 3mm to 10mm depending on the...

    Taycan Charging Speeds on UK Chargers

    I make a reasonable amount of longer trips with high power DC charging and the J1.2 holds a high curve consistently well, it is noticeably improved vs my previous J1. I mostly use Ionity due to low cost and consistent speed and have very rarely been throttled with them. The J1.2 also indicates...
