  1. Good choice as a first EV?

    I would strongly advise surround view option for parking in the UK, as a must have option. Visibility is minimal when parking - and it's quite a big car.
  2. Good choice as a first EV?

    Yes - buy one. ? ......as long as you can charge at home. Absolute bargain used prices at the moment! And loads of choice to drive a bargain. Model choice is personal - but I'm happy with my RWD on UK roads. Ignore 0—60 as real world (overtaking speeds) it is nippy enough. But the AWD on...
  3. Toyota claim solid state breakthrough

    It's interesting Toyota making these claims when you look at their performance in this area (FT article from this week). Although I don't know if battery tech is specifically covered by 'digital innovation'.
  4. Anyone else got Porsche Connect problems?

    My Internet radio is not working today (any stations). Which is a pain as its what I usually listen to. When you try and use it it's mostly silence, but sometimes it's intermittent off/on/off/on with a couple of seconds of each.
  5. 45K? How low can it go (depreciation)?

    If they do put petrol up 10p litre (done deal some say) it will be intersting. https://moneyweek.com/personal-finance/tax/will-fuel-duty-rise-in-october-budget I expect it will fire up the anti EV brigade even further.....but surely it will help firm up used ev prices. The people who can't...
  6. 45K? How low can it go (depreciation)?

    I also hedged my bets. I did it on PCP (6%) and invested the capital. Investments have done very well.....my job. I can hand it back after 4 years or buy it for £32k. I will look forward to the negotiations. ?
  7. 45K? How low can it go (depreciation)?

    Because the car has frustrated the hell out of me with recalls and warranty work. So I have been looking at alternatives. And thats how I have fallen back in love with my car. Yes there are faults, but for a first EV, Porsche got the basics spot on. How it drives and looks after 3 years, it's...
  8. 45K? How low can it go (depreciation)?

    I am one of the few that bought privately in the UK 3 years ago. But it's still saved me about £300-£500pm in fuel / road tax / servicing compared to say an M4 (ICE I would have bought). About £15k. Its a RWD specced how I wanted and after 3 years it is still probably worth more than 50% of its...
  9. J1 vs. J1.2 TTS Side by Side Pics (2025 Taycan Turbo vs. 2020)

    It's funny, that new designs normally grow on me. At first they seem strange, then as I get accustomed to them, the old design suddenly seems dated. But it's not the case here...... Every time I see the new front end, I feel it's lost a major part of it's character. The front lights were a...
  10. How low of a price needed to sell barely used 6k mile loaded 2022 Taycan Turbo S?

    Are those US only figures, or global figures?
  11. Opinions please - tyre/tire wear

    To OP. The reason people are asking if the shoulder wear is on the inside edge or not is due to this thread - and a common issue affecting members here. Not sure if you are aware of it or not? https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/taycan-problem-potential-catastrophic-tire-failure.16788/
  12. Opinions please - tyre/tire wear

    Outer or inner edges worn?
  13. Redshift ECU Upgrade on my 2024 Taycan GTS -- Dragy Performance Results

    I dread to think what a base Macan feels like when your car goes in for service. ?
  14. Redshift ECU Upgrade on my 2024 Taycan GTS -- Dragy Performance Results

    I am genuinely gobsmacked that a standard Taycan Turbo S feels slow on UK roads.
  15. Not great news for VW/Porsche...

    Interesting article in the FT on this subject today. A couple of charts that stand out for me on the subject:
  16. Octopus Free electricity

    Good job sir! Next time, you could also run an extension lead onto the footpath in front of your house and put a post up on the neighbourhood WhatsApp asking all the neighbours to plug their kettles in. ?
  17. "VW considers closing German factory for first time in 87-year history" - article

    The Chinese are coming. Slowly, but surely - just like the tide coming in. Today's press..... https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c74jgk1kw87o I see them challenging the bread and butter brands, like VW. But they are far more efficient. These new cars have to take somebody's market share. It...
  18. Taycan battery

    That list makes me laugh.... I can imagine going to buy a used Taycan. Choice of two - similar spec, but each has a single fault not covered with extended warranty, so you ask the salesman. 'This one has got a major fault with the main battery, and this one needs a new wiper blade (passenger...
  19. Wife's BMW i4 M50

    If I get rid of the Taycan, the i4 is top of my list currently.
  20. Caen to Lisbon - advice, ideas and now Trip Report

    Portugal charging has its nuances apparently. There is a thread on here about it - courtesy of @tchavei https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/charging-in-portugal-almost-everything-you-need-to-know.14997/
