It is expensive so easy to see why some would find other options more valuable to them. With the standard settings of the Cross Turismo the superb ride was the first thing I noticed leaving the dealer on my first demo, I haven't experienced the saloon or GTS. Mine is already the best riding car...

My wife is a superb map reader and navigator and I relied on her a lot when congestion slowed our chosen route pre-sat-nav's existence and I would still favour her reading of the map over the sat nav best efforts based on my trip through Wales alone last week.

I had a similar experience with Waze, scratched the paintwork on both sides of my car, luckily not the Taycan it would have been jammed between two stone walls it is so wide. I haven't used Waze for anything but town traffic since. I think the problem is they all assume time is your key...

I have very little road car experience but Gordon Murray and Alpine have the sort of passive suspension I like. My Taycan is a superb compromise in "Normal" IMO. My Ferrari 355 is pretty good. Outside that I don't know enough to comment.

Maybe but ignorance can be bliss...

AFAIK no update has been done, I certainly haven't had the warning panel asking for agreement to do it.

So I took my dog out into the countryside for a walk. 10 miles there and back and when I got back and switched off I got a warning box saying PCM can't be used because battery is low. I got out my new CTEK charger which showed the battery was >95% yesterday and it started charging and took...

At my service in early January they said it was due to become available during Q1 but not to be surprised if it was towards the end, ie end of March. If this is it excellent but I am not an early adopter of new software, been doing it too long ;)

I can't imagine Porsche losing the ability to produce a sporty feeling car using an expensive option which offers the chassis engineers more parameters to play around with and optimise for each setting. I see it is not "necessary" but IMO improvements in chassis dynamics are felt every drive...

It isn't expensive but a bit of a PITA. I am thinking of getting my 20" wheels with winter tyres stripped and painted Vesuvius Grey to match my 21s and the inserts on my CT when I put the summers back on.

I am the opposite, any wheel painted gloss black with machined highlights looks awful to me :) The CT ones are the only 20" wheel I quite liked but not available painted (to get rid of the "diamond turned" highlights I dislike so much).

I don't like low profile tyres at all but the only 2 wheels available for a Taycan that I like the styling of are 21" :(

My suspicion is that there has been far more activity over the air than usual because of the HV battery concern. Presumably Porsche had to monitor -something- on customer's cars to decide which letter to send - don't charge above 80% or not, and maybe this takes far more than the expected power...

When I looked there was only one CTEK supporting Li batteries. I seem to remember there was a Porsche branded charger suitable for both offered at one time but I couldn't find it listed any more when I looked earlier this week so I bought the CTEK which arrived today and works fine - including a...

They are interchangeable. I have a 21" set for summer and 20" with winter tyres. The ride is not as good on the 21" but overall the ride is very good anyway, one of the notable features of the car. The sidewalls are very prone to pothole damage on the 21" and since they are wider they have more...

Agreed. And since humans have decided to do little or nothing about it Mother Nature will deal with us.

My CTEK Li battery charger arrived this morning so I connected it, it was straightforward. It went through the sequence of indicators quickly, showing the charge was over 95% and it could hold 12V loaded. So battery OK. Difficult to check much else unless I spend a while deliberately using a...

I had seen the explanation that the HV battery will be called upon to charge the 12V battery up to 8 times written somewhere else, I don't remember where unfortunately. The article said it would keep the 12V at working voltage for many months. My car with HV battery at 76% had a dead 12V after 9...

Mine does, a bit, because the maximum output from my dispenser is 7.1kW whereas the heater is 10kW so it does drop my charge by about 1% even when plugged in. I get 2.4 miles/kWh at the moment on a long run, 1.8 to 2.2 on shorter runs and 2.7 to 2.8 on long runs in summer.
