Had my J1.1 updated today and am fiddling with the settings. I’ve enabled “prefer Porsche Charging Service” (which is my preference), but I notice there’s also a new function to search and add another operator. If I add one here - for example Tesla because often the price is cheaper than PCS...

Before getting my Taycan I’d been driving 24 years and had one puncture in that time. Since having the Taycan (almost 3 years) I’ve suffered 7. Annoyingly 3 in the last 3 weeks. I’ve only done 16k miles over those 3 years too. It’s been a mix of screw, nail, cuts to the rubber down to the...

When I first got the car, upgrading to power steering plus was an option on the (now defunct) My Porsche website as a one off charge, OTA upgrade. With that website now replaced by the app is it still possible to purchase the upgrade? I’ve always thought it made the steering too light and...

I've had enough now so ready to bail out, cut my losses and get rid of this car. Nav doesn't work, no fix until June if we're lucky. I've had all the recalls, new windscreen from manufacturing fault, it's been in the OPC more than any other car I've owned, there are squeaks and rattles...

So clearly there are huge issues with the Taycan’s 22kw charger and I don’t particularly want to blow mine up. I charge using the cable I got with the car often which means only getting 11kw from the 22kw capable chargers I usually use. if I buy a cable capable of 22kw is that then putting the...

Just had an email - the summary being that our 7p/kWh rate is doubling on 4th Nov to 14p, or we can subscribe to a couple of monthly plans that include a certain number of Kwh for home and public charging too. The paid rates seem to include 175kWh for home, which works out at the same price...

I’ve checked my charging service is still active, but for the last few times I’ve tried to use GRIDSERVE chargers they don’t seem to accept the Porsche Charge Card. Today it just keep saying words to the effect of try a different payment card. Any ideas? I’ve just checked the app to double...

My car’s now completely up to date with all updates and recalls and I’m seeing a huge improvement in both economy and range. Mine’s a 2022 4S with bigger battery. Previously I’d have to work hard at driving sedately on a long drive to see 3mi/kwh and my regular commute was nailed on at...

I noticed this changed about a month ago and assumed it was a blip but have just tried again and it’s the same. For the first 2 years of ownership I could stick the car in Transport mode and set any end time I wanted. I travel on ferries a lot so use it often. Now when I go to set it, I only...

Mines an MY22, no issues so far with the heater until today when I decided it was a bit cold. Even set to MAX it’s blowing out cold air only despite being fine all winter (never hot like other cars I’ve owned but always warm). I’ve had a read through the many many threads about heaters on here...

When starting the car today the maps don’t load - “unable to load map” on the driver console and “navigation loading” on the centre console. Even while driving (albeit short journeys only today) the navigation doesn’t ever load. LTE connection is strong and the car was turned off and on...

Just had an email from OVO saying they're updating their T&Cs: These changes won’t affect the way Charge Anytime works. Instead, they’ll include more information on how we optimise your vehicle's charging to help balance supply and demand across the grid, and how we use your charging data. I...

I might be being blind but I’ve searched the manual and the forums. I’m now wondering if heater mirrors was an option I forgot to tick, but also don’t remember suffering last winter with not being able to see anything in the mirrors when they’re damp or cold. Do these cars have heated mirrors...

So we collected our new Mini Cooper SE Sport last week, it's a 52kWh battery and about 220bhp. It's Chinese made, shouldn't be called "Mini" and is overpriced for a Chinese import but my wife's a die-hard Mini fan. Straight away there's some useful tech on there that the Taycan is missing...

First major trip in the car after having it 11 months and despite a couple mishaps it was a really decent trip. The Taycan is just made for long distance cruising and compared to previous cars I ended the journey far less fatigued. The traffic sign display and auto headlamp adjustment made...

Has anyone had this before? Yesterday the nav started my regular journey telling me I’d have 70% battery left at destination. Usually I can increase this a bit by driving carefully, so I didn’t think much of it as it started to tick up to begin with. I even commented to my wife how awesome my...

I've had an invitation to a pre-launch test for OVO's Charge Anytime for those of us with Solar. I'm not 100% sure I understand how it measures what's solar and what isn't, but it reads like I'll get a credit for any juice put in the car purely from solar (which is most of it - I'm very careful...

This has long been my favourite driving road, since my motorcycle days. Now very lucky to spend a lot of time on the IoW and today was my first drive of this road in the Porsche. Very little traffic and the few cars that came along (6mins in ish) were very easy to get round. Could have been a...

So I understand that if you use the Porsche navigation and set chargers as destinations or waypoints, the car will warm the battery ready for your arrival to get the best possible charge rate. What if I decide last min to charge or aren’t using the navigation? Today for example I was near a...

I’m assuming this bit is to protect a vulnerable area from chips but as soon as there’s any dust or dirt they stick out like a sore thumb on a light colour. To the point 3 people have pointed to them today alone to say “that bit looks a bit rubbish” Is anyone else suffering with these? Any...
