    Review my CTS build please

    That’s such an expensive build. I was surprised how well the exterior and interior colours worked, though I wouldn’t choose either. I’d personally cut back on the wheels, Sport Chrono,( hideous clock ) Electric sound for a start. The standard interior is surprisingly dull. I chose Chalk seat...

    Charging Port Impaired - "Left (or right) charging port impaired" error message

    Fair point. I am now taking the car to the dealership 50 miles away and getting a loan car. Not good for a six month old car costing well into six figures.

    Charging Port Impaired - "Left (or right) charging port impaired" error message

    My Porsche dealership has advised that if the problem hasn’t righted itself by now, they will need to send a low-loader to collect the car and take it away. They will then analyse what’s wrong and order a part from The Fatherland. Then they will fit the part and deliver the car back - some time...

    Charging Port Impaired - "Left (or right) charging port impaired" error message

    I now have the problem that the right hand port ( driver’s side for me ) is stuck open and won’t charge either AND the left hand side won’t open. The warning light states that the left hand side is “impaired”. Last time something similar happened, it righted itself, but it’s been 48 hours now...

    Unwanted media-link

    That didn’t work either! Now the radio comes on automatically…. Never mind. I’ll live with it. Thanks again for the comments.

    Unwanted media-link

    Thank you for your responses. I think I have stopped it, by tuning in to a radio station and then pausing it. I don’t use Apple Music at all. Can’t say I’m impressed with the PCM. Or maybe it’s me.

    Unwanted media-link

    Every time I get in the car, the media-system picks up my i-phone play list and starts to play it, whether I want it to or not. Is there any way of stopping this happening before it starts ?

    Please critique my build :)

    I think the extended options list is there for people to personalise their car to their own taste. Customers should be able to expect that their £100k car is fully loaded with all relevant safety measures - these should not be extras. For that matter, neither should fold-back mirrors, to name...

    Please critique my build :)

    I agree and I think that has always been the case, especially with German brands. I always ask the salesman what options he considers “essential” ( I take his views with a large dose of salt to compensate for bias ) Odd colours don’t fare well apparently and whilst it might be debatable what...

    First cold snap of the year...just watch that range tumble!

    My last charge was a record low 211 miles. Best high was 281. Pretty scary !

    Please critique my build :)

    I rarely use the Sports Chrono selector on the steering wheel and the dashboard ‘clock’ is just hideous, especially the naff looking digital part. It looks like a petrol station free gift from the late 1980’s

    I couldn’t agree more !

    Please critique my build :)

    I considered the Dolomite Silver, but eventually opted for Gentian Blue. The car can take a bold colour. I didn’t think the black/crayon ( chalk ) went well with the blueish sllver - they’re different greys altogether. I specced the chalk seat belts too. Glass roof for sure - it’s a dark...

    -20% loss in battery capacity due to outside temperature drop.

    Only 225 miles on a full charge today, which is a record low - 20% less than my top figure of 281 miles back in Summer. Had some big problems last week in Scotland. Firstly, ZapMap indicated there was a charging point in West Linton - there wasn’t and secondly, the Porsche SatNav indicated...

    hmmm - my lovely Taycan is limited to 220 miles range - [Edit] I think it's the tires…

    I haven’t changed my driving habits, so it’s not that, Needsdecaf. However, Doc B’s explanation would appear to answer the question. It’ll be interesting to see if I have the same experience as you when it gets cold. It really is an amazing difference. Thank you, both.

    hmmm - my lovely Taycan is limited to 220 miles range - [Edit] I think it's the tires…

    I have a March ‘21 Taycan S with the performance battery. Latterly, on 100% charge, the range has been 249 miles on its two most recent charges. A couple of months ago it was a minimum of 270 miles and I had one reading of 284 miles. The change in temperature has not been that great over the...

    Do you have a pano roof?

    I specced the pano-roof. The interior without it is gloomy and I have had no hot weather issues. Previous posters state that the car looks better without. I don’t agree, but if you’re driving it you don’t see the outside anyway ! My interior is black/crayon with crayon belts : the interior is...

    Judge my configuration. Lock date soon!

    Re : electric noise. Definitely not necessary, but Ido use it in townon the advice of my blind brother in law, who “ sees ( ! ) electric cars as a silent threat “ ( his words )

    Judge my configuration. Lock date soon!

    I wouldn’t have an all-black interior for all the tea in China - makes the cabin even more claustrophobic. Is Cyprus too sunny for the glass roof ? My interior is two-tone black/crayon with crayon belts, but I’m not sure how that would go with the Carrera White exterior ( mine is Gentian Blue )...
