    Purchase of Stock 2025 Taycan stating it has Adaptive CC + Active Safe but day after buying and paying noticed it doesn't

    Good luck with that. This is a simple case of human error when describing the car for sale rather than a deliberate / intentional act of misrepresentation. As an aside ACC isn't all that good - various issues with it in my experience - handy but flawed. By default you will get cruise...

    Purchase of Stock 2025 Taycan stating it has Adaptive CC + Active Safe but day after buying and paying noticed it doesn't

    That's all very well BUT the small print will invariably make some caveats around the accuracy of the descriptions provided in any sale / advert. The fact that a refund / reduction in price has been offered is generous if you still want to take the car. The car is not faulty (another reason to...

    2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo - Isn't this a Good Deal

    One of the options listed - front axle lift - has never been an option so worth a clarification. All Taycans with air suspension have geolocation based Smart Lifr which raises the car both front and rear. Front axle lift is an option on 911s.

    Purchase of Stock 2025 Taycan stating it has Adaptive CC + Active Safe but day after buying and paying noticed it doesn't

    The car quite clearly doesn't have ACC - no radar dome beneath the front number plate which is what you will notice on most Porsches (of all ages) which have this feature (Macan EV has a slight different implementation - no dome but a flat panel in the same position. The compensation is...

    Porsche unable to engineer a reliable heater?

    Indeed. But presumably other EVs use this part and if also 800v then there are recalls far and wide. I had one failure and a stop sale to replace the heater before taking delivery. Nuts to think J1.2 will go the same way and presumably the Macan and dare I say it the Cayenne.

    Porsche unable to engineer a reliable heater?

    It is a worry and clearly HV heaters are a different beast to anything on an ICE. Surely the manufacturer (Webasto?) has some questions to answer?

    Just put a deposit on a 21 4S CPO! What can I expect when I pick it up?

    Yes it is and I would not have driven off in the car until this setup was 100% operational. Until your id is associated with your VIN all you can do is login as Guest (nothing saved and no online services).

    Just put a deposit on a 21 4S CPO! What can I expect when I pick it up?

    Already covered elsewhere in the forum At a minimum check that you can login on the PCM with your My Porsche ID. Check that the SOS led is green. Enjoy!

    used car buying guide?

    This will be MY21 and as long as you source from an official Porsche dealership then all recalls, software updates, servicing etc will have been applied. 2019 MY20 was the launch year. Seems expensive though for the age - UK price would be £55K (or less). Get the battery State of Health and...

    Sudden stops when reversing

    Tap the rear collision icon on the park assist screen (turns blue) to disable during reversing - only active when reversing. I do this ever day when reversing out of my garage to avoid this issue.

    "Some form of gesture" - what should I expect/ask for?

    Nope, Porsche Centre Glasgow doesn't offer it (offer a paint protection respray over 2 years instead) and Porsche Aberdeen did - had it on my Taycans and wife's Macan T. Absolutely worth having that said. BMW (Aberdeen) didn't offer it either until recently.

    "Some form of gesture" - what should I expect/ask for?

    Not all dealers in UK offer tyre and alloy insurance.

    "Some form of gesture" - what should I expect/ask for?

    It is generous but in reality it is another month's depreciation rather than a goodwill gesture. Call me a cynic but unfortunately Taycan values continue to slide more than most.

    MY 25 Taycan CT 4S, suspension sound

    What height do you have the suspension set to and what speed are you approaching? If low / lowered rather than 'normal' then the there is less distance to travel and may bottom out. Set Smartlift for these bumps and slow down in good time to allow NAV to catch up and raise the car.

    Cayenne EV range test result = 350 miles @ 70mph (real world range)

    Mobile Chargers on ebay?

    It is not voltage but kW! The max standard AC charging power the Taycan can take is 11kW. The PMCC EVSE is the only option that could charge to the max as it can deliver up to 22kW of power on a suitable supply. All UK homes have single phase 7.4kW power supply which is why the PMC+ (or any...

    New Taycan Owner – Range Concerns & DC Charging Issue – Advice Appreciated

    Your consumption is on the high side - should be on average 2.7 mi / kWh for a GTS ST - but as you do mostly motorway driving then your numbers are probably okay - anything on a motorway is pretty poor due to lack of regen options and high constant speed.

    Mobile Chargers on ebay?

    Yep. Hard to see the 13A 3 pin but if its there then you'll have all that you need. There should also be a white envelope containing the passwords for the web interface. If you don't plan to hook this up to your home network then you won't need it. There isn't much you can do with the web...
