    My Other Car’s an Etron!

    I never worry at under 160 miles - especially in summer - Just gentle cruise - Efficiency mode no problem If up to 200 miles I rag the nuts off it in Dynamic mode and find a fast charger. Car can do both, just not as well as a Taycan

    My Other Car’s an Etron!

    I completely understand you points - The range is crap I think its the least efficient car (except the heavier 55) on the entire market We have had a better time than you though. Didnt ever connect Apps and the only fault ever is the parking brake last week which has not inconvenienced us in the...

    My Other Car’s an Etron!

    Make sure if you get the Jaaaag it comes with the right specification. The slipper warmer, pipe holder and gold plated disabled parking badge clip will make it much easier to sell to the usual Jaguar owner demographic when the Taycan arrives! I am much pleased to read in another thread that you...

    Taking the watermelon spec to the next level

    Absolutely with you on the Privacy glass. To be fair you don’t have to be a drug dealer. Chavs love Privacy too. Chris Harris spends a fortune changing standard privacy back to clear.

    Taycan - What options/spec? (£87K budget)

    Totally agree I would buy the big battery for resale but for OP with lease, allowance limit and low mileage I would definitely not bother. I had 4S with big battery for 18 months. Low mileage like OP. Probably benefited no more than twice! Was either not going far enough or big road trip when...

    Taycan - What options/spec? (£87K budget)

    Just to clarify they all have PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management 2WD is coils springs with PASM Or it’s Air suspension with PASM ?

    Taycan - What options/spec? (£87K budget)

    Just to be accurate the standard battery is the ‘Performance Battery’ The upgrade just adds a plus + Nonsense Porsche nomenclature. You DEFINITELY don’t need the + battery at 6000 miles a year. Go for the 4S! Woo Hoo

    Taycan - What options/spec? (£87K budget)

    Here are my one-eyed opinions! The only thing I am ADDING. Everything else you haven’t added doesn’t need adding! Auto dimming essential. Lovely frameless mirror. Base thing with a tag looks like 1970s Vauxhall. Plain white I think is better than Carrera. Don’t forget 3 of the super...

    Taycan - What options/spec? (£87K budget)

    Here’s my alternative! Don’t dismiss 4S with smaller battery. It’s MUCH quicker, more fun and safer on soggy Uk roads. Don’t fret range anxiety. You get air suspension and better PDLS (Porsche Dynamic Lighting System) PLUS included. Wheels, Paint, Auto dimming mirrors and Driver Memory Pack...

    GTS Orders UK

    BIK tax is set at 2% until April 2025 Going from 2% to 5% is a pessimistic guess I think. A £110k GTS even at that 5% is £2200 a year BIK for a 40% tax payer. If you keep yourself at 20% via the Ltd Co. it’s only £1100. My GTS coming in June is £110k At 2% BIK this year for a 20% tax payer...

    Uk Configurator Updated with new MY pricing

    Similar story. I discussed adding the Party Trick Roof to my GTS when delivery was delayed by Pootin. Originally I was locked in Feb for March build April delivery. Now May build June delivery. I was told ANY changes to original build could throw massive spanner in the works. ‘At least 3...

    150kW on-board DC-DC converter - do I need to order this in UK?

    Cheers! Will be going to France 3 times in the 12 months after getting the GTS ? so might come in useful there..?! Less stress as you say with the ‘just in case’ insurance and it was spec locked before Pootin invaded Ukraine so too late for any changes!

    150kW on-board DC-DC converter - do I need to order this in UK?

    Thank you, I was suspecting this as it seemed to be the tech chat on this forum! Everything I read and was told 2 years ago implied that 800v was unique to Taycan/Ionity. I was thoroughly mis-sold this as many seem to have been but to be fair back in 2020 no-one had a clue. I was told that to...

    150kW on-board DC-DC converter - do I need to order this in UK?

    I know you will know this! I see people are getting the DC 150kw upgrade to potentially take advantage of the Tesla network. I thought that without the 150 upgrade the ONLY place you could charge at over 50kw was at 800v Ionity. I got the 150 upgrade to charge at all the other chargers over...

    Auto deploy door handles

    If you DONT have Comfort Access and the car is LOCKED the door handles will NOT auto deploy. There is a bit of auto deployment if the car is UNLOCKED. I noticed this by accident after getting out of my car, the door handles will fold away if you move away from the car without locking it. The...
