    PCM is working better lately…

    I had mine in for a recall to update the main instrument cluster last Thursday. Didn't have a problem with it. And the recall wasn't emailed or communicated. The service guy just mentioned it while I was there. I was just told they would do it when I was there getting the SOS call error function...

    21" Aero Blades Kerb Scraggs (Curb Rash) Repaired - it happened again!

    Using park assist it got confused and scragged the rear wheel in. The problem was I was wedged in with no room in front to get out so I had to scrag the front wheel to dig myself out. Obviously I cried as I didn't get Alloy insurance. However, I have been using a guy from Essex Smart Repairs to...

    But not new car transports. Those are all bad roll on/roll off ferry disasters mainly in 3rd world that Lloyds would not be insuring. How many new car transports sunk?

    4S CT ownership didn't get off to a good start

    Have you tried South London Centre. I just am gobsmacked they cannot inspect a sealed unit and would want to replace 'just in case'. Never heard of that. Looks like the boyz at M&A Coachworks are making some money. +£700k cash increase to Mar 21. application-pdf

    "Is It Safe to Ship Thousands of Electric Cars on Big Ships?" - Article link

    How many ships carry cars sunk in the last 10 years writing off the cargo? 1? Lloyds of London names will have made a tidy return underwriting car shipment merchant vessels over that time.

    Dealers having stock and selling for over list

    30%-40% over the RRP? I don't believe that. 10% yes. No one is going to buy, for example, a 100k RWD for 130k-140k with a 300 miles on it.

    Taycan - Worth the Wait?

    VW Tiguans currently have a 12 month wait. I am sure the Taycan is a better wait.

    Drive Mode gripe

    Speaking from experience (2 BMWs back to back) and my last a 2020 Series 3 Xdrive 3.0L diesel the BMW always starts in Normal mode which is NOT ECO PRO mode. I always wished it started in Sport mode. My dealer said most of his clients wished it started in ECO PRO mode.

    This is really painful... crashed my Taycan into a cement pillar

    Sorry to see that. Those evil concrete pillars are ninjas and sneak up on you when you least expect it.

    3.7 vs 4 secs. You going to notice that? They are big heavy cars. Sounds like you need a Turbo.

    Comments on my UK GTS Build

    I park at the station regularly. You need to park on the passenger side white line to give you room to get in and out driver side. So you need to find a spot where the car to the left has the passenger side next to you. Otherwise you'll leave them no room to get in the driver's side and they...

    Comments on my UK GTS Build

    Yeh. When I looked into it I was “where’s the catch?”. Did the maths and concluded I could get a 100k Taycan for the overall running cost of my 50k BMW series 3 muscle. I didn’t even test drive one. I just said “where do I sign?”. I had no idea what I was getting.

    Comments on my UK GTS Build

    Yes salary sacrifice. It's brilliant. Instead of paying 10k extra in tax it pays for half the lease. They only had 6 December RWD builds when I signed in August 21. Tbh I would have got an RWD even if they had 4S. It's amazing and drives like it's on rails.

    Mine is with Octopus Mine is with Octopus. The sales team were in a few weeks ago so I asked about the current wait for a Taycan. The reply was 70 weeks. I signed mid Aug 21 delivered 1st week of Jan 22. I was well lucky.

    Very similar to me. Great rid of: Passenger display - who really is going to use it and for what? Electric charging cover - 500 quid seriously? Just press the flap. Just another thing that can go wrong and then you cannot charge. Panoramic roof - I got this. Waste of money. The front passengers...

    The Iconic 911 vs The (future-iconic) Taycan

    My friend has a 911. Massive Porsche fan. Had many. Test drove a Taycan for the day. Said the Taycan drove like a 911 but was also a better ride.
