    Charging timer / schedule for home charging not working in app

    I’m on Octopus Go, same as the OP, and this is exactly what I do. You might want to also take a look at this thread: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/fixed-charging-period-with-octopus-go.7582/

    Actual ownership cost to own a Taycan

    I’m in the UK and obviously there are differences, but coming up to having a 4S+ for two years and it appears I could sell it for about £5,000 (USD5,800) less than I originally paid (that’s just the figure I get online from a company I’ve used to sell cars before - on both previous occasions I...

    Anyone considered the Lotus Eletre?

    An SUV doesn’t strike me as an alternative to the Taycan ... The Lotus website says it has a “porous design” - that’ll be fun in the rain ?

    How to stop Spotify autostarting ?

    I’ve not been able to resolve this with Apple CarPlay either. The best workaround I’ve found is to set the instrument cluster quick access button to change the audio source, so when CarPlay starts I press it twice to get back to the radio. I don’t use Spotify but presume it would similarly help.

    Night time driving, cabin too bright!?

    The overhead light doesn’t bother me, but I tend to switch off the PCM display for longer night time journeys

    Secure automated car park in Birmingham

    I’ll be spending a lot of time in central Birmingham over the coming months and looking for secure parking found this: https://www.thecube.co.uk/park/ It’s fully automated (take a look at the video!) and looks ideal, does anyone have any experience here or somewhere similar?

    Park assist with surround view ?

    I went for surround view to ”protect my investment” and avoid accidental dings on the car from bollards etc that you can’t easily see when manoeuvring. I’ve found it very helpful and would definitely choose it again.

    Voice Control

    General consensus isn’t very favourable then! It works well enough for me to avoid looking down at the lower screen to change temperature etc., but I agree for voice control it’s not a patch on Siri. Bsclwilly - thanks for the list of voice commands. Nothing much came up when I did a search...

    Voice Control

    I always thought voice control was just a gimmick, but often use it now - mostly for climate control when I don’t want to look away from the road. I’m curious to know if voice control is widely used, but also more specifically, does anyone know what the ”Short Dialogue“ commands are? It’s an...

    Best Value UK Tarriff for Charging

    I picked an Ohme after going around this loop 18 months ago before taking delivery. However, trying to use it to control the charging results in errors and to avoid this I control everything through the car instead - take a look at this thread...

    Best Value UK Tarriff for Charging

    I’m on the same tariff and that’s exactly what I do - it makes the Taycan so cheap to run! To get the Octopus Go tariff you have to sign up to one of their standard tariffs first and then switch, but I found it very quick and easy.

    Bentley EV 0-60 in 1.5!

    Interesting article thanks, but not my cup of tea. A mode to slow it down doesn’t strike me as new - isn’t that the same as having “sport” mode on by default and then switching it off?

    Gap insurance

    I recommend you check with your standard motor insurance provider as they may well include some cover when the car is brand new - my insurance with DirectLine did for the first year, so I then waited until the car was nearly a year old and took out specific gap insurance (with ALA) for a further...

    Inverted setting of dipped beam

    It should be ok - I’ve not had this problem at all since mine was updated last year

    Charging and health

    Radiation concerns in an EV due to high voltage? … spark plugs in an ICE require >20,000 volts …

    Dog harness suggestions

    I’m impressed - those are big dogs for a Taycan (and pretty much anything else I would think!). It would be fun to see a picture of them on-board ?

    Dog harness suggestions

    I use the medium size Henry Wag material create for my cocker spaniel, which I just put on the back seat (not folded down) with a webbing strap securing it to the seat belt and a blanket underneath to level it up a bit...
