I've been struggling to get my car to talk with Intelligent Octopus Go and have had a reminder I need to regularly connect if I want to stay on the tariff.
The problem is my car is not listed as compliant, either in the Octopus App or their website. But when I first joined IOGo, it worked fine...
I've received the 'Checking HV battery cell modules' letter today. My Taycan is MY 2022.
The letter includes this:
The prerequisite for this is that the online transmission of fault analysis logs is activated, the vehicle is not in Privacy mode and it must be connected to the internet at least...
Can't believe my Taycan is now 3 years old. Booked a local garage for its first MoT, mainly because I didn't want to drive 30 miles to my usual OPC. A simple MoT shouldn't be a problem?

Changed the fob battery, held the fob at the top right of the rear...
I love the interior of the Taycan, but it's not particularly practical. The shelf under the lower screen is pretty useless, as is wrestling with the armrest storage. Neither are good places to store my iphone.
Porsche (and Saab) used to do some great cupholders, but I'm not keen on them...
