  1. Porsche Says One-Pedal Driving In EVs Isn't Efficient

    There is no reason why you can’t coast with one pedal driving as long as there is a suitable power/regen display on the dash and some decent software controlling the motor. I used to regularly coast in my i3 and rarely used the brake pedal. Make for a much better, if different, driving experience.
  2. UK order status and delays?

    Mine went through production early Feb. There was a 1 week slip in projected production started date from what was originally scheduled in Nov 2022. This has resulted in a corresponding 1 week slip in delivery to PRG Reading. Of course, I haven’t taken delivery yet, so there could be further...
  3. MAMBA GREEN Taycan Club

    Another MGM on its way to the UK soon; just clicked over to step 4/5.
  4. REPLACEMENT HEATER WAIT TIMES (uk)

    I sure hope so; mines in the middle of the production line right now.
  5. Track my Porsche not working?

    Before anything can happen, I think you need to get your SA to associate your order with the account you recently set up in My Porsche app.
  6. No Burmester now but the return of the Bose??

    Just checked the UK configurator; you can now add Bose to the RWD base model, so I guess the Bose amp shortage is history. Bit annoyed really, my order is headed for production end Jan without Bose but is would had added it if I could.
  7. Instavolt 120kw 400v chargers

    I guess the likes of ZapMap et al need to start reporting the power contention ratio of charging devices on their maps so we can gauge likely charge rates based on device availability.
  8. Can The Porsche Taycan REALLY Beat The 911? -- Drag Race & Track Battle

    I run a 23 year old mk1 Lotus Elise for my ICE fix. It weighs a measured 715Kg, 220hp and no power anything not even servo brake. It is mid(ish) engined but hardly perfectly balanced with a 38/62 weight split and has some interesting liftoff oversteer characteristics. it makes a wonderful...
  9. Watch collectors - let's talk watches here!

    Agree - I have one of these but do wear mechanicals when I don't need the monitoring stuff.
  10. UK order status and delays?

    And breathe.… Order freeze date today and SA has gone home. I can now stop messing about with the configurator and dithering over options. At least I know I got the colour right; Mamba Green and no glass roof either. Build date is set for mid Jan for end Feb/early Mar delivery. Can’t wait!
  11. Porsche surface coated brakes, (i.e 21 Mission E wheels) Bose, Burmeister no longer available on options. Just received a call form Porsche UK

    The disk and calliper looks kind of lost behind those wheels; I think I’ll stick with the 20-Inch Taycan Turbo Aero Wheels with the added metalwork.
  12. Listening to music in a Taycan - formats and sources!

    I think the Samsung mini USB-C drive appears to be the smallest currently available. There is also a Sony drive that’s about the same size, but with much less capacity. Both of these drives protrude so much more that the old USB-A flash drives because it seems that the manufacturers used to...
  13. Listening to music in a Taycan - formats and sources!

    Hey Frank, if you’ve got some ALAC format files, can you give one a whirl? I’d love to finally be able to abandon ALAC to FLAC conversion that I only ever use in car.
  14. Listening to music in a Taycan - formats and sources!

    *sigh* seems like no one makes a type C only flash drive that is as small as the type a flash drives I used in my 535i F11 all those years ago. Most available type c flash drives appear to have a type a connector at the other end making them so much bigger than the need to be.
  15. Listening to music in a Taycan - formats and sources!

    Any old USB-C device that has enough capacity to hold all the music you want should be OK. However, you want to look for one that is as physically small as possible so it doesn’t stick out too far when plugged in. In the days of USB2, you could get flash drivers that were only a few mm bigger...
  16. Listening to music in a Taycan - formats and sources!

    I don’t have a Taycan yet, but I use .flac files on an SD card in my Cayenne E-hybrid. Works well, and doesn’t require the phone to connect or to mess around with CarPlay. Of course, in a Taycan, you’ll need USB-C storage.
  17. UK order status and delays?

    My order also switched to Phase 3 a couple of days ago. I also phone up my SA to enquire about production dates etc. The freeze date has come forward a couple of days but the enter/exit production and delivery dates remain as before, so I think it’s just the back end servers having a laugh.
  18. Charger

    By the way, make sure your house fuse is big enough to run 32A into your EVSE at the same time as the max load from the rest of the house. Some older house fuses are only 60A…
  19. Front and rear dashcam preparation option

    I could not add it to my RWD order without added a glass roof that I absolutely don’t want. Maybe the glass roof is require if it’s a saloon?
  20. GTS Sport Turismo - What are your "must have" options?

    The Preparation for Porsche dash cam option seems to require a glass sunroof which is unfortunate for those of us that prefer the aluminium sculpted roof without the horrible step where the roof pillars joins the roof front an d back
