I switched to Intelligent Octopus yesterday based on the really useful info in this thread (thanks!). I was already with Octopus so could switch straight away and it looked like the cheapest option for me anyway (7.5p from 23:30 - 05:30, 31.03p at other times, plus 42.01p/day standing charge)...

I took delivery of my 4S PB in January 2021, so now 2.5 years into ownership and nearly 19k miles. My driving pattern probably hasn’t changed much in that time, although I do use recuperation less after adjusting away from “engine braking” (manually toggling recuperation on and off rather than...

Problem solved, I’d never seen those options before - I really appreciate all the feedback!

Thanks for the reply - how are you accessing the options, is it from the button on the control stalk? … I’d never thought of that so? Unfortunately I’m away for a few days now so I’ll have to be patient until I get back!

Does anyone know how to show a zoomed in view of the map in the centre of the instrument cluster display? I may be mistaken, but I’m sure that’s how it was a few months ago and now it just shows the complete journey - I can only get the zoomed in view on the central display. The instrument...

Actually now you mention it, I think that has been the case after the recent update - I’d just dismissed it as one of those occasional random anomalies! I’ll pay more attention to it, but hopefully it’s a fix :) … and making an edit to this - I’ve used the car a lot since I posted this and...

I took my car over recently and it automatically switched the headlights. For travelling in Europe I recommend the RAC website, e.g. https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/travel/country/france/ I do recommend planning ahead on the emissions stickers for different countries (Crit’Air in France). I left...

I did exactly that - after trying PS+ for a few days I decided the steering was too light at low speed for my liking so I removed it (although it took some weeks before reverting back)

Thank you - looks fantastic and I’m going there in less than 2 weeks!

If only ? … I left my car connected to the EVSE and the 12V battery went flat.

Interesting, I hadn’t heard of that one thanks - my car is MY20

I was away for over 3 weeks, but because the problem triggered as a theft alarm I know it occurred when the car hadn’t been used for just 12 days. It really shouldn’t be necessary to have to use a trickle charger or go through the “AA rigmarole” for such a short period of time. In the two...

I finally arrived back home last night and, as expected, the car was dead. It went exactly as TAYC4S described and Porsche Assistance/AA had the car up and running again in no time at all. The AA chap said he‘d dealt with a number of calls like this and he also suspected a software issue. The...

My car was uPdated at the end of November so hopefully that included the patch you mention, but I will check thanks. I left the car connected to the EVSE and I have a charging timer that runs every night to take the battery to the recommended 85%. I know I left the car completely closed and...

Thanks for the advice, I’ll be getting home soon and that makes me a bit more optimistic!

I left the UK a few days before Christmas for a break and received this worrying notification from the Porsche app yesterday. Before heading off I’d locked the car in my garage, which is connected to the house alarm system - as that hadn’t triggered I was fairly confident this would turn out to...

Agreed … it was just in the context of the program …

I did think it ironic that they talked about EVs not needing a gearbox alongside the only EV that has one (as far as I know!) ?

I find Carplay really useful and reliable too. I use the voice command button on the steering wheel to activate it (rather than saying Hey Siri) but the ‘ready’ tone changed after I replaced my iPhone and it’s difficult to hear now - if anyone can tell me how to change the tone (or its volume)...

I’m interested to know if you get charging errors reported by the car with the smart charger controlling things? I originally tried to do it this way (using an Ohme smart charger), but because of charging errors I decided against it - I thought it might be interfering with battery management or...
