How so? A car with active ride has no springs or conventional dampers and is under computer control in every mode - it has to be. Some of the comfort functions will be switched off when going into another mode but it will still be controlled by a microprocessor with settings chosen by the...

I have an Andersen charge box which is weather proof has an app that meters each use and can it be switched off and locked remotely from its app. It was the Porsche UK recommendation when I installed it soon after I ordered (but a year before delivery) of my Taycan. I have used it to charge...

The yellow side markers still have a yellow light in them, it is just the cover is clear. I tend to agree about dark tinted windows, I hate them though so not a problem for me. The most dangerous thing I have noticed travelling the world for work is places where it is legal to have red rear...

There is no question that active ride can have a sport setting WAY more sporty than any conventional suspension could be capable of, and with Porsche I would assume that will be available. More comfort is an easily programmed bonus which is there probably as a sales feature for a lot of...

Well I was looking to a quiet comfortable car with a good turn of speed when I wanted it. I already have a sports car. The Taycan would not be on my list of actual sports cars, it is too heavy. Having written that as somebody who was a pioneer of active suspension in Formula One before it was...

Mine is like this. I had assumed the reset after overnight wasn't immediately happening. It seems to have been like this since my service in January when there was definitely some software shenanigans. My blind spot warning doesn't work since then either and can't be switched on either because...

Indeed, trades pay well. I often get young people wanting to work in motor racing asking my advice and as soon as I tell them there is no shortage of software specialists and modellers but a lack of people who understand the less easily modelled (and in some cases more important) parameters...

The reality is that the skill required to repair the car to like new condition, particularly many modern paints, is rare and justifiably expensive since so few people can do it. Unfortunately there is little push to get people to train in needed crafts and trades. I used to get shed loads of PhD...

The body shop in Swindon have quoted just under £11k to my insurer but they are being pretty careful IMO and including a new wheel and tyre and full alignment because of a nick in the rim.

It is a rare option but would be a must have for me now! In fact when I searched used cars for options which must have and not having options I hate there still aren't any Taycans for sale in the UK I would buy.

I actually use the massage function more than the ventilation in mine but do find the ventilation pleasant when I need it.

I carry the cable just in case. I used to use it every time I went to Oxford parking at the Westgate where the chargers have no cable but they are expensive now and it is cheaper to charge at home so not used much recently.

A friend of my daughter is a specialist who used to work for an insurance company assessing claims and he estimates £6000 :(

Dick Lovett at Swindon was where I bought the car and I know Peter Lovett, though I haven't seen him for years he retired ages ago. My daughter has a close friend that restores vintage cars beautifully and he will have a look - not sure ally is his thing and the wrinkle where the hinge hard...

Splendid, that is where I bought my car.

Just SW of Oxford.

I shall renew and I would prefer it to be free, but free software with free updates is only worth nothing too.

Thanks. My inserts and wheels are Vesuvius grey and I was thinking the insert will need respraying so a good time to refurb the 2 wheels I have scuffed too :(

I have never needed to repair a car before, do I need to talk to insurance first? Do I need to ask my dealer for a Porsche approved repairer? Most of the damage is on the rear door but there is a small dent on the front door too, am I likely to need new doors? All advice and comment welcome...

Mine never went wrong but was changed FOC anyway. I must say set to A/C eco and 21C my cabin is always comfortable so I am sure something is wrong if loads of adjustments are needed.
