    Uk price rise possibly

    If we don't strike a free trade agreement with the EU then we default to WTO tariffs: Fixed at 10%, Do not delineate between EV and ICE cars Are not on a sliding scale

    Completion date at factory 12th November - when can I pick it up?

    Just for good order, the 10% "brexit" premium after 1st Jan only applies if the UK and the EU haven't reached a trade deal, in which case WTO tariffs apply (10% on cars, 22% on vans and trucks :oops: ) Both sides are motivated to make a deal, I'd be mildly optimistic it gets sorted, and cars go...

    Pod point a good choice and where to mount?

    The Andersen is only really worth getting for the aesthetics. It does have an Alexa skill though :CWL:

    How many of you would still own the Taycan if it wasn’t better for the environment than a combustion car?

    100% my primary reason was the eco impact. I kinda work in the green sector, so I guess I have some personal motivation that others may not. I like my "toy" cars but there was no EV that fitted the bill as "fast and fun" for me until the Taycan. I went half way with my last car (i8) which...

    Pod point a good choice and where to mount?

    Andersen and Zappi seem fairly similar in functionality (Andersen also does solar), I went for the Andersen as it is installed on an exterior wall so the better looking unit with the hidden cable was important to me. One other thing to factor into a smart home charger choice could be your wifi...

    Pod point a good choice and where to mount?

    I will chime in on Pod Point. I invested in them via crowdfunding back in 2015, so have followed their fortunes for personal reasons as well as for charging my previous i8 and now Taycan. Charging experience on their public posts over the years has been pretty poor, I was always reporting...

    Octopus Energy £100 New Customer Credit.

    Yes your night time rate will drop to 8bp but your daytime rate goes up! For me in London it would go up to 18p which really isn't worth it... EDF EV rates here

    Taycan Crap Nav

    I am an the verge of the doing the same after a week. The car is brilliant. But charging is a nightmare. 37 Hours on 32A at home and work. Many wasted hours driving to chargers that don't work. 37 hours on 32A doesn't sound right, you must be on normal 13A mains?

    TPMS not resetting!

    I wonder if you are having the same issue I had a while ago. https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/tyre-pressure-monitor-tpm-reset.2030/ Select another tyre type, doesn’t matter which one, then reselect the right one. This resets the monitors. Good luck.

    Ionity Bill UK

    There are only 3 new stations under construction which is pretty pathetic really. This site is useful for keeping tabs: https://www.ionitychargers.com/ UK and France both have population of 66m people and sell more or less same amount of EV every year. France has 222 Ionity CCS chargers, UK...

    Turbo Spec in

    It is easier for the passenger to use that display without reaching across yes. Use case: when setting off on a journey I often use the centre screen for setting the nav. My son, eager to get his *incredible* music playing, uses the passenger screen. Is it worth the money, probably not. Is it...

    Turbo Spec in

    My 17 year old son loves the passenger display. Not just wife-friendly, but also teen-friendly :)

    Recommendations for a detailer to do a Ceramic coating in West London

    Charge scheduling - through the car or the home charger?

    The documented 12V battery issue from other forum members seem to stem from issues on charging profiles being amended (intentionally or not) via the Connect app. For that reason I have only set my "General" profile to recommended 85% and not set any timed profiles to minimise the risk of any 12V...

    New Owner (To be) Questions

    Ah sorry you were right, I have "normal" saved in the individual mode. My bad.

    New Owner (To be) Questions

    I have set the Individual drive mode to have the highest suspension setting, so when leaving my drive or approaching speed bumps I turn the dial on the steering wheel (have you specced sport chrono?) and I find it the quickest / easiest way to do this. Depends where you will driving? Have a...

    Taycan Crap Nav

    Generally agree the satnav is pretty poor, although I'd stop short of saying it makes the whole car unfit for purpose. As per the OP, I research I route before I leave, plan where I am going to stop and charge and navigate to there. It's fairly minor inconvenience in the scheme of things, and...

    OLEV grant dependent on registered keeper?

    That is correct now, but previously the Taycan was eligible for a grant, the change was made in the March budget earlier this year. This thread is about people ordering before the budget change but not yet having taken delivery and ensuring that the grant was still paid (it was).

    Road Trip to Southampton

    It is using the standard Ionity tariff of 69p/kWh, however using your Porsche card / app it actually only costs 31p/kWh (equates to 12p per mile on your calc)
