    Driving review - Taycan GTS versus RS e-tron GT

    I feel I’m beyond ICE noise. Where I used to associate it with sheer power, I now think if it as unnecessary ricers, a lot of drama, less performance. let alone the fumes that come out of the exhaust. Really bad. The Taycan sound is not trying to mimic a cat removed ricer exhaust, It’s aural...

    Car won't start, dead 12v battery. Jump or service for new battery?

    But you can turn PH on, wait for app confirmation and cancel it again, you don’t need to sit out the whole process, It’s like a mouse cancelling a screen saver. I don’t understand the 8x limit either, an arbitrary 16x limit would give it 2x the idle time.

    Some tried to steel my wheel caps

    This had me thinking maybe it did happen when assembling at dealership and I didn’t notice yet because of wheel position, The car is with Porsche to reset service interval, replace the combox and re-align the hood (2mm mounted to the left) Without arguing they offered to replace the hub for...

    Minor Crash / Porsche Hatfield

    Can tell you already those wheels are scruffed to deep to recut in a maschine, that’s like 4-5mm deep on some parts. That means one, possibly 2 new rims as you don’t want 2 rims to look “beheaded” for the rest I can’t tell, but if your wheel was pushed into the car forcefully by a slam against...

    UK - Porsche list of discounted charging networks?

    Porsche card is crazy expensive, the plug & charge option is just another sales tool to make sure you pay the Porsche prem/min on top of the competitors rates. enable Plug & Charge = make sure you play double.

    Why do you LOVE your Taycan ?

    Yes, this “proof a point” thingy is strong when they see the Taycan, expecially amongst the VW Polo/Golf BMW3 and Audi A3 chipped diesel ricer crew.

    Let’s talk about depreciation (UK)!

    In NL the Taycan prices at dealerships are only going up. there is an understream of 2nd hand Taycans sold by lease companies and non dealers. But these are typically low spec barebone RWD’s in order to fit company car budget. These go <100k€ but are not the ones you want. I would not buy a 2nd...

    Why do you LOVE your Taycan ?

    The Taycan is definitely moving the envy needle way beyond Merc or BMW, It’s also the car Tesla company car drivers really want. Everyone just looks, you see 10 year old boys drop their jaws, pointing fingers saying “dad, dad, look!” and then their fathers acting like you’re not there and...

    Any good contact for rims repair shop in Belgium ?

    I’m the guy that blocks the road just standing still untill I can make a turn 100% comfortable. I’m a slug on parking lot spirals and always have my daughter getting out of the car pulling cards in machines. I had my fair share of rims damaged, but now I’m no longer getting me rushed by other...

    Big detail today!

    The bolts have been reused from my 20” aero turbo’s they had marks, the Spyders came with the caps and are only 2 weeks old. This happened after Porsche mounted the Spyders.

    Why go for the Performance Battery Plus?

    Dunno, I have the carbon racetex wheel with sports chrono dial (range > normal > sport > sport plus > individual) can’t live without it :)

    Taycan Artificial Exhaust Sound Option Worth Adding?

    I don’t like pano, mine is closed, I do like sports sound, it’s the amplified electric sound blended with some synthesized rumble. I love it, very well engineered.

    Why go for the Performance Battery Plus?

    I don’t like the touch screens, for tactile changes, my eyes always need to seek the right icon. The ergonomics of the dial are worth it alone. Further the clock is nice to look at, since the only other clock is behind the steering wheel, need to look around the steering wheel to see it.

    Why go for the Performance Battery Plus?

    Sports chrono is essential: drive modes and ride heights. That’s the one function I use daily together with Sports Sound. the Taycan is very quick with launch control, left foot on brake, right on throttle, launch mode engages immediately, release brake, get launched. It’s the muscle memory that...
