    UK Taycan Insurance

    Thanks for the advice. I spoke to Novo insurance this morning who have recommended first speciality who are underwritten by first prestige (related to first point?). They have mirrored my NCD, offered me a Porsche approved repairer scheme, guaranteed porsche courtesy car, fully comprehensive...

    Shmee150 Review: Is the Taycan Turbo S the Electric Car for Me to Buy

    I live in the UK and I am new to EV’s so information like this is invaluable to me. I have crammed as much resources in as I can but we all have to learn in the real world somewhere. He has to change his sign off though. Cheeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrssssssss :)

    External mirrors misting up !

    You could try some anti-fog spray (you can buy them for spectacles). Do so at your own risk though! Also love the comment about having to turn the de-mister on by pressing a button being so 20th century. “Alexa, de-mist my mirrors”:CWL:

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

    They’ve told me to collect on Tuesday so I’m assuming the car is there. In the “olden days”, when they commissioned the car at the dealership, your app would alert you and you could see remotely where it was. Now it appears to be behind a privacy setting so I am relying on the dealership...

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

    Stunning, absolutely stunning. Mine was completed on the 7th of December and I am scheduled to collect from the OPC on the 22nd, which is 15 days in total. How quick is that?

    Glad you heard the same about the transition period up to the end of Feb. Also glad your car is in the U.K. Mine arrived into Grimsby last Sunday & I’ve been given a collection date of this Tuesday. We can now look forward instead of over our shoulders.

    Esim & Data packages. Any alternatives?

    Pick the car up on Tuesday so haven’t familiarised myself with everything yet, so forgive me if this is a silly question. Do I need to purchase the data package to get the satellite view on the navigation system and Apple Music through the PCM? Is there anything else that won’t work without it...

    Data - PCM question

    I get my car on Tuesday so forgive me if my preconceptions are incorrect. However, it looks like your phone is still connected to your home router (WiFi) and I believe it needs to be connected to your cars WiFi. That’s how it is with my 911. I also need to leave the connect app running or I...

    UK Taycan Insurance

    I talked through my options with NFU but insuring it as a separate stand alone policy seems my only choice. They did say they’d offer me a NCB boost for being an existing customer but my 3 points denied me that privilege. I can’t drive both cars simultaneously so mileage will drop on the 911...

    My Turbo S is being leased as a company vehicle directly from VWFS. This will be my 2nd vehicle as I’m keeping my 911. My goodness, I’ve never struggled more to insure a vehicle. Even though I’m 50, been driving since I was 17, only 3 points for a minor Sp30 indiscretion & 25+years of no claims...

    Taycan Waiting Room: Who has ordered and a delivery date?

    Mine arrived in Grimsby last Sunday & dealership contacted me today to arrange collection on Tuesday. After the huge swing of emotions over the last few weeks it is nice to finally realise this is actually happening.

    Porsche claim the 10% figure was taken from the U.K. Global tariff as a reasonable benchmark.

    Post Brexit deliveries into Britain.

    Agree communication has been woeful and I’ve been lucky really as it could have been much much worse. This is my 4th Porsche from the same dealership & I understand prices can fluctuate up to lockdown, but in no other situation would you be expected to just take such a gigantic price rise on...

    Post Brexit deliveries into Britain.

    Between Christmas & New Year has been mooted. I won’t mention the dealership other than to say it’s in the North East.

    Post Brexit deliveries into Britain.

    I totally agree that the whole leave situation is a mess and not helped by either side being unable to agree on anything. It kind of feels like we will be late to our own funeral. I was not told of any potential price increases until about 3 weeks ago and that was only because I heard a rumour...

    Post Brexit deliveries into Britain.

    This is turning political and I feel you’re missing the point. Most of us weren’t informed about any rise when we handed over our deposits. Regardless of the reason behind the rise it was up to Porsche to communicate this rise and leave us with a choice of whether to proceed or not. As it stood...
