Is it just me, or is the Taycan the hardest car in the world to reverse at night? If it's dark and there's no street lighting, my reversing light turns on but doesn't project enough light so I can clearly see where I'm going. It's about as useful as a tiny candle! The only way I can get enough...

This is the first winter with my Taycan 4s. (It's my daily and parked on the driveway, not garaged.) How do you find your performs on a very cold day? I have a set of winter wheels and tyres and they are performing exceptionally well on the slush, snow (only a tiny amount so far) and...

Hi, Whilst cleaning my summer wheels, I noticed a couple of stone chips on the dark [titanium?] paint. Does anyone know the paint code so I can buy some touch up paint (UK)? Many thanks.

Beware when using a theoretically very fast charger if it's only giving you an actual slow charge rate ... My car was at 10% battery towards the end of a long drive. The battery was conditioned using the Porsche Charging Planner, so was ready for a very fast charge. I needed a very small charge...

Hi, I'm finding the Apple Watch App really useful. Eg, whilst brushing my teeth I can set the climate and heated seats, which is far more efficient option than setting a ready by time for most of my short office journeys. However, the app almost never works unless I first wake it up by using...

About to throw in the towel with Ovo. I’ve been using the Ovo Charge Anytime tariff and Ovo app since Jan. And it’s been ok. However, I have a second EV coming next which is not supported by the Ovo app, so I need a new charging strategy. This week I’ve tried using the Ovo and Hypervolt Home 3...

Anyone else get these errors? Now it is colder (UK), most mornings and many evenings I get sensor errors. I suspect this is because condensation is getting to the sensor on the inside of the screen (see image). My routine is: Start preconditioning, perhaps 20 mins before I get in the car...

I'll be fitting my winter wheels this weekend (a weekend later than ideal, but never mind). Do / should you put anti-seize on the wheel hub? Ie, where the hub is in contact with the wheel. Thank you in advance.

This forum is a great source of info. Would welcome any suggestions on a charging issue: UK driver - I’ve had a Taycan for the past several months and the home charging using Ovo Charge Anytime has been reliable. However, last night the car did not start charging until a very short time...

After several months' ownership, I'm yet to find a single use for this massive amount of real estate on the lower console. What do you use it for? My ideal, would be to add 3 large buttons - one to change media source, one for previous and another for next station / track.

Hi, now it's getting colder in the UK, what's the best way to preheat / demist my car? Ideally, I want a short 10 min or other user defined time. - Using the app starts a 1 hour preheat process. Which is too much, and there's no point in wasting the battery's charge. - If I open unlock my car...

A weekend in Wales - great. At Rhug Estate Shop and want to DC charge to 100% because of the lack of chargers in central and northern Wales. However, no matter what I do, charging stops at 80%. - Tried 3 machines, 4 credit cards, the app etc. Always stops at 80%. - Car has DC on. - Tried a...

Hi, I'm on Ovo Anytime for their 7p rate; which is great. I use the Ovo app for home charge scheduling and tend to have it set to stop at 75%. A few days ago, I plugged in and the following morning it had charged to 80% - which is fine. I didn't unplug the car because I didn't need it that day...

Most - but not all - of the time when I get in my car, the media selection defaults to Apple Car play and it plays the last track I selected on Spotify on my phone. This would fine, except when I was last in the car I was listening to the car's DAB radio and the Spotify app is closed on my...

Washed my car on a warm day and the headlights had lots of internal condensation. Probably doesn’t bode well for longevity. Anytime else have this? Should I be concerned?

Hi, Has anyone has white worm on their Porsche wheels and what was Porsche's response - fobbed off, refurb or replacement? Many thanks.

My car is having a few things done and I have a new Taycan 4s CT courtesy car for the next couple of days. It has regular glass and 21" rims. After the first hour in it, I think Thermally & Noise Insulated Glass and 20" wheels is definitely the way to go. The ride on my car with "20 inch...

Hi, Question: why is my home charging going to 100% when my schedule is set to 80%? I'm new to this - only done 3 home charges so far - so I'm sure it's user error. Any advice? Public charging (just Pod Point so so) has been fine; for which I enable the Porsche charging "General" profile with...

My battery % and indicated range is plummeting much faster than expected; and I had low expectations to start with. For example, the car had an indicated 72% charge and 168 miles showing on Tuesday night. When I got to work today (Fri am), I’d driven a total of 30 miles and the battery was...

Hi - still getting used to my Taycan. Mild frost today - loving the preheat timer so the car, seat and wheel are warm when I get in. My only issue is demisting the rear side windows. Played around with the settings but with little impact. Seems like there are no vents that can direct air to the...
