    Taycan fire

    Yes it does, I only noticed the location of the 12V lithium battery when mine was flat and had to be re-set. Maybe that was what caught fire in both incidents.

    Taycan fire

    The location of the flames looks close to the 12V battery.

    I only read the post because you wrote "May of made a mistake" rather than "may have made a mistake" and wondered if English was your first language ;)

    I seem to remember a Porsche 911 cost around £7500 when I was a schoolboy. When Porsche developed the first Cayenne SUV it was because they were not able to sell enough 911s to be profitable and if they have been profitable in more recent years it is because they have become, relatively...

    Financial markets are hugely influenced by rumour and fashion and seem to be interested in very short term huge gains irrespective of how, or mythical long term bonanzas which rarely have much basis in fact. ;)

    Trump's freeze on investment in charging points probably not going to help sales in the USA which is already poorly served by electric infrastructure and heavily driven by petrodollars.

    Just returned a ‘25 RWD loaner for my ‘23 GTS…some differences

    All season tyres are not supplied by Porsche here in the UK, you get whatever summer tyres they are fitting at the time, mine came on Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3. You can buy winter wheels and tyres as an option to be supplied as well, which I did mine being 20" Pirelli P Zero winters, which...

    Just returned a ‘25 RWD loaner for my ‘23 GTS…some differences

    Not on snow it isn't ;) The latest are usually the best. I am pleased with the Goodyears my car came on. Do they make the Assymetric 5 in the weight and EV spec?

    Extras added by dealer after purchase

    No it is a hardware addition.

    Extras added by dealer after purchase

    Generally not. Hardware is often different. I hate ACC and was delighted to find it was an option on my Taycan so I could avoid it (it has been imposed on me in most new cars for years and never works the way I want) and I was warned there is radar hardware fitted if you choose the option which...

    Things I hate about my Taycan

    I looked at my phone before I got into my car at the end of my dog walk 3 bars of 4g. Got in car shut door waited a bit - no change. I had intended to look when I got home but forgot - phone function in my car is of vanishingly small consequence and so wasn't paying enough attention, sorry. We...

    RWD, 4s, none? Help me decide, please!

    We will probably be well into the exchange rebuilt possibilities by then. The battery assembly contains lots of expensive parts which may well last longer than the cells so I would imagine exchange units will be an economical way to keep an older car running, as it is with IC engines. I would be...

    Things I hate about my Taycan

    Not sure but probably 2022. Ordered July 2021, completed August 2022 but then kept in storage due to lack of 12V batteries and received on 1 December 2022 by which time quite a few 2023 MY cars had been delivered since they re-started production once 12V battery deliveries were available and...

    Things I hate about my Taycan

    Not in mine over the last 2 years. Never had to open a window, I was mildly concerned since a number of people attributed phone problems to their car having insulated glass on forums but for me never a problem. The A5 through Wales has a few poor spots but not worse than I have experienced with...

    Things I hate about my Taycan

    I don't use my phone much but am unaware of it ever having particular connection problems. I have the laminated insulated glass and use the inbuilt hands free function and usually have the phone in a cup holder or the tray under the lower display.

    Anyone else find reversing a Taycan in the dark almost impossible

    It only gives a jet of water if you use the rear wash/wipe whilst in reverse. Mine works better than it looks like it should...

    Can I remove the fake vent inserts from Turbo rear bumper?

    Stying trim panels that are really just pointless ballast on an already heavy car are annoying. I would check if the j1 rear panel fits and use that if it does.

    What a complete load of old balderdash. You qualify for the ignore list. Goodbye.
