Do you always set a timer for your departure? I only charge my car to 60% when I finish with it and then set the timer to charge the car to 75% to 85% when I use it the next time. It also sorts out the cabin and windows. Battery starts its day at 13° even when its 0° outside. My journeys are...

My mission e rims are perfect, but maybe that’s because I have aero winter wheels and tyres on atm so have only driven 20 miles in the mission e’s! All the 21” rims look amazing and the spyders are stunning (and classic Porsche) but you have to be very careful to avoid kerbing anything with low...

I do agree with you, but it’s important to remember that summer tyres are unsafe in temperatures below 7°c due to the compound, so, it’s not just about tread pattern. I’m truth, I think running all season tyres is fine for pretty much everyone. You shouldn’t run summer tyres in winter though...

OMG. You are all so much more patient than I am. I tried the Spotify integration (briefly) couldn’t get past ‘login’ and headed to CarPlay. My big annoyance is that CarPlay keeps butting in when I’m listening to the radio. Any ideas how I stop that? The other downside of CarPlay is having to...

Far better people in car parks think ‘look at that prat with his fake EV sound’ than ‘what just ran over me’! I think it’s important that these things make a noise when there are pedestrians about, especially as they’re often distracted by their phones, so they’re only using their ears to...

In built up areas with pedestrians around it’s very useful and I switch it on whenever I’m in these situations. . The car needs to make some noise in town so why not amplify the noise from the motors? When driving aggressively on back country roads with the music loud it definitely adds to the...

Understood. The problem is, if you’re known for digging holes with golden shovels and you turn up with an excavator, everyone will be disappointed because there are people who are much better at digging holes with excavators. Having run much smaller businesses than Porsche and agonised over...

My response was ‘tongue in cheek’. It wasn’t supposed to be taken seriously. But there is a serious point to be made and that’s this. Porsche build sports cars and although the Taycan isn’t a sports thoroughbred it’s from the same stable and this will guide the creation of their products...

Let’s face it , Porsches are totally unnecessary. Too fast, too luxurious, too expensive. Performance and handling totally unnecessary. £4K brake options unnecessary, Mamba Green - VERY unnecessary, variable light roof, ridiculously unnecessary. Thank goodness for unnecessary!

I had a similar dilemma but golf, not kids, was my challenge. The sedan trunk is reasonable and I don’t think you’ll have a problem with the bags kids need for their various activities. But it’s not wide enough for a set of golf clubs to fit comfortably and access is restricted (so much so that...

I once saw a guy, 30ish, step out of a Lamborghini Aventador and head into a swanky London hotel. He was Italian looking, dressed in a superb suit and the car was stunning in black. I really admired the car and kinda wished I had his style and dress sense but I never thought ‘I gotta key that...

What a refreshing thread. I’ve seen so many discussions on how to eke out the miles and I’ve just thought to myself ‘Why on earth are people spending all this money on an electric Porsche? A model 3 would give them at least 60 miles more range, a superior charging network and £40k to £80k in...

RWS is at the edge of the curve stuff. If you like to throw the thing around on country lanes or you’re gonna do track days, you’ll definitely feel the benefits. It will help with parking in tight spots, although you will head to the far end of the car park to avoid door dinks, so how often...

I got myself a second set of wheels to for summer/winter. Changes the appearance quite a bit.

I had an iPace, ran it for 3 years, and had a few issues. Dealer was local and sorted them out with various software updates and a few recalls. Always provided a courtesy car. All in all it was a positive experience. Judging by the forums I’ve read on hear, I’m expecting a similar experience...

I guess the tax concessions are driving behaviours as intended then.

VLC roof is great. Not worth it, if you’re on a budget and sacrificing other things you want. I think rear wheel steering is more important for example. Certainly, not worth changing the car for, unless money’s no object but if that’s the case, have you seen the new all electric Maserati?!!!

Let’s face it, the Taycan is an amazing EV. IMHO it can’t be beaten. It’s a fantastic drive, has 4 full seats and a decent boot. However, it has all of the range and charging challenges or any EV. If you want an ICE alternative from the Porsche range, then the Panamera is the obvious choice...

Totally! Good spot! ?

Yep - my steering wheel diamond button is devoted to the sound or speed too!
