    Taycan 20,000 miles

    I'm on 21,000. No issues till now - the brake pedal is travelling much lower and when the mechanical brakes blend in I need to apply more pressure so it goes lower still. Its a little disconcerting at times - lots of travel. Obvs a brake fluid change is imminent at 2 yrs old and its booked in...

    TSB: Check High-Voltage Battery; Leak testing details (WNW3) - Aug 4 2023

    :crying: If they find a leak do you get the car back until a new battery is ready?

    UK service & costs

    So much shenanigans over this. Absolute buffoonery. I'm driving 160 miles to Bournemouth for £474 inc club discount. The not Lovett dealer SW monopoly 2 miles away wants Over £800. No chance. We will have a coastal weekend break and still save a few quid. Such nonsense.

    What is the truth on huge service costs and 'drain holes'?

    This is the issue - are they all quoting for the same? I found it to be an absolute mess with huge misinformation.

    What is the truth on huge service costs and 'drain holes'?

    The pano roof doesn't have drains - being one solid piece of glass?

    What is the truth on huge service costs and 'drain holes'?

    Been shopping round for `1st service cost and some dealers want 4 figures as they have to clear 'drain holes'. Checking Pano roof drains aren't blocked is one thing (except mine is a solid roof:crying:) but what the heck is going on here? Is it job creation or do they really have to take a few...

    Alea yacta est. the dice has rolled…

    The other bonus of the less sexy 20" wheels are of course up to 10% extra range; that swung it for me and they look OK from 10 metres or 2 pints away ;-) I like my PDCC - its decouples ARB (think you call them sway bars in USA) so a better ride straight ahead (its astonishingly good with air)...

    Taycan depreciation

    I'm sure you are right, but its funny how no one saw it coming - it was all about battery tech improvements giving it a hit! Much of the upside of buying via your company now seems to be being ported straight over to the next owner rather than those that risked an EV purchase or/and took a big...

    Brake lights during recuperation?

    Personally, if its doing high retardation I'd want to know that car behind is getting some brake lights. I think ACC does but Auto Regen doesn't brake hard enough to warrant it? I think I need to get my GoPros out and hover the drone over J32 of the very downhill mile of the M4 exit slip road E...

    Brake lights during recuperation?

    Because it can ACTIVELY regen-brake at a rate far higher than lifting off in third in any ICE car... Auto regen based on distance to the slower car in front can be quite strong.

    Goodness! Sounds like it SHOULD?

    Best electricity tariff for EV switching today

    I will trailblaze once the panels are in! I know it will be a manual affair but hopefully setting charger to solar charge once we have min 6 amps and Anytime to Charge Now will work? Anytime doesn't talk with the EVSE does it - it manages charging by sending profiles to the car and enabling...

    Taycan depreciation

    I think that WAS the perceived wisdom mate when times were good. Now its a glut of used cars, reality biting on EV tax perks affecting used values, many cancelled orders due to recession with huge interest rates + now abysmal residuals where once it was 'overs'... Why would you not ask? I wont...

    Best electricity tariff for EV switching today

    So - no one seemed to have the answer to my q - but surely you can defeat Enode profile wotsnot and just set your wall charger to charge by available solar with the Charge Anytime app set to CHARGE NOW? This would be good to work out as the 10p charging will be v useful for winter...

    Taycan depreciation

    I definitely disagree...? Plus, for reasons stated previously is it right that Porsche expect to waltz on as if nothing is happening economically or that residuals aare going through the floor? Much as they'd love to?

    Taycan depreciation

    You cant get the VAT back too mate and sleep at night... ANY personal use kills it on a PURCHASE. Ask someone who just had a VAT investigation like me and slept like a baby...:clap: I think you can get 50% LEASE vat back even if you have personal use (which you will as it isn't actually a...
