My ST Turbo is expected at the dealer mid-May (which is about a month behind schedule)

Say you buy the Taycan for 100k, wouldn’t the company be taxed on the 100k gain if you sold it at the same price in two years, cancelling out your 19% (and corporate tax rates are going up!) plus dividend tax (or income tax)? Or is the idea you keep rolling it into the next vehicle

It would be interesting to compare this with salary sacrifice for the OP, and genuinely interested to see how this could be better. You're talking about saving 19% on the car purchase price, but no VAT as I understand it (if you have any personal use at all?) With salary sacrifice, you save...

Stunning, congrats. Love the stitching.

Again, would be keen to understand how this could be better than salary sacrifice

Not to turn this into an accounting forum but I’d be interested in your analysis, TaycanHero, as it’s of huge interest to UK buyers. I am wondering how it can possibly be better buying vs a contract hire by your company which then leases the car to you via salary sacrifice, where you would save...

It was meant to be light humour / buyer beware for people currently speccing their cars. Personally, I wouldn’t mind if someone said “lucky I didn’t take that feature” to me if I pointed out I was having trouble with something, and would be glad to have let people know of the potential trouble...

Glad I didn't spec the fancy charge port doors - for precisely this reason!

as a lucky recipient of a keyless entry theft in the past (in central London), I am strongly averse to comfort access. In fact, I actively avoid brands where it can't be deleted, and would genuinely even pay to *not* have it

Shouldn't maintenance be the same as a Volvo, or Polestar? Even if it isn't, you could argue the other side and say it isn't pitched - size, speed, design, etc anywhere near a Macan - it's meant to be a Urus, DBX, etc. competitor. There isn't an EV in that space, maybe the hybrid Purosangue -...

Ha ha love the strength of opinion on this one. Clearly it's built in Wuhan, but it's been designed in the UK, and they are gunning for Lamborghini, supposedly. Even though I am buying a Taycan, I am not convinced it is any better quality than a Geely product based on what I read on here, or...

Put a deposit down on one of these earlier in the year. Not sure about all angles when they released it yesterday, but it's growing on me. It's huge. It's probably the most direct competitor to the Turbo ST I have coming. Thoughts? https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/eletre/

From Porsche's landing page - I do like the Spyders, but the 20s are no less attractive to my eye, and arguably better suited to an EV and just better looking

We recently moved to a semi-rural area with many potholed roads, and have already had a bubble on my rental EQC (which is extremely heavy). I am going with 20s (I have a ST GTS and Turbo on order, but the Turbo got allocated first so going with that) because apart from not wanting tiny sidewalls...

Just reviving this thread as I have had a CT and ST on order. If I understand the above, the CT is not in fact higher than the ST (or saloon/sedan) at all because the cladding eats up the extra 10mm??? For context, I'm semi-rural, with many potholed/muddy/gravel roads, but am in dire need of a...

I just got confirmation that my car went into production last Tuesday (UK order) so seems odd you were advised that - assume one of us is not being told the truth!

Actually I think you're wrong - these are indeed the rules under the Distance Selling Regulations, so I believe TaycanBoss is right - there is a right of cancellation up until 14 days after delivery. I have seen this discussed in the UK context in other threads so I thought it might be helpful...

I've never had anything but quality trouble from German cars (Porsche x1, BMWx1, Audi x1, Mercs x2). Perception over reality. I've never had a single sign of trouble from my Land Rover, Range Rover, and Jaguar. Reality over misperception.
