    Instavolt 120kw 400v chargers

    Have done a lot of Googling on this but still a bit lost. Seeking the wisdom of the forum. I charged up recently on a 120kw Instvolt and only got ~60kw. Some factors: Charged from about 10%-75% over 45 mins or so Battery was cold on arrival For most of the time there was another car using the...

    What’s your Taycan's winter / cold weather range?

    Have done a bunch of long trips over the xmas period and consumption has ranged from 2.2-2.4mi/kwh, which gives a full range of 190-210 miles in temperatures generally between 5-10 degrees. For short trips consumption is much worse but it also doesn't really matter for those. It's a new car so...

    How to get battery to preheat for charger not recognised by Porsche nav

    If I set the destination or stopover as a charger shown in the Porsche sat nav the car will preheat the battery. But if I want to stop at a charger not shown in the navigation, is there a way to get the car to preheat for that stop? I thought of two things that might work: 1) Add a...

    It’s snowing …..

    Do you have the 21s? In which case which tyres did you get or did you get a whole new set of wheels? I thought there weren't good winter tyres compatible with the 21s.

    It’s snowing …..

    Have you guys with 21s and stock tires had any issues with the conditions? I picked up my keys yesterday and am keen to avoid sliding into things.

    UK order status and delays?

    One of my main learnings from this forum is that if I order a Taycan again and don't want to wait forever I should do so from Reading

    It’s snowing …..

    It's an edited version of the Venum logo isn't it? I've seen you around on the forum and wondered what the story is. Do tell.

    UK order status and delays?

    So close though. Only a few days now surely.

    UK order status and delays?

    My dealer is also East London and I just today turned down the Gtechniq option @ £899 (ceramic coating) or BodyCare @ £549 (wax based coating). I never had paint protection before and wasn't sure if it's worth having. Presumably it's cheaper to get elsewhere anyway I thought.

    Road trip charging - London to North East

    Nice I hadn't considered a couple of them. Just to be clear, have you used these ones yourself?

    UK order status and delays?

    Gleaned from vesselfinder by searching the name of the boat they told me and checking the arrive/depart times at Sheerness. The dealer's info I assume comes from the order system but I've never seen a screenshot of that as others on the forum have. Hoping to get mine within a week or so. Good luck!

    UK order status and delays?

    When my dealer told me it was on a boat (and the name of the boat) I checked vesselfinder and that boat had already arrived and subsequently left Sheerness a couple of days earlier. Some days later they updated me that the car was at Sheerness (after it had been there for a week). So there might...

    Road trip charging - London to North East

    Those Wetherby chargers are in the ideal location for me but the reviews on Zap Map aren't very encouraging. Leeds would be good but there's only six and all the reviews complain about speed. It's really hard to interpret reviews as there's no way to know which problems are user error (not...

    Road trip charging - London to North East

    My car is due to arrive soon, so I've been checking chargers on Zap Map to plan a journey I'll have to do fairly regularly - which is to drive from London to either Darlington or Northumberland with no charging at the destinations. Looking at the reviews of chargers like Wetherby (new Gridserve...

    UK order status and delays?

    I just found today that the car made a boat , so the wait was about 2 weeks at emden, It remains to be seen how long it now takes to get to the dealer.

    UK order status and delays?

    My car's been sat at Emden for 2 weeks now. Is that a normal time to wait to get on a boat (presumably to Sheerness given London dealership)?

    Trip Report: my first relative long distance trip - about 350 miles

    Is there no way to tell the Taycan's nav to go to a specific charger (as recommended by ABRP) such that it pre-heats the battery for arrival?

    Noise insulating glass and mobile reception

    Thanks for the comments. It reckon it weakens signal strength, so if you're in a good signal area it'll be fine but if out in the sticks the noise insulating glass might be the difference between signal or not. The UK is pretty well covered so probably this affects US people more than the UK...
