  1. UK service & costs

    I’ve just been quoted £901 for a 2 year service from Porsche Stockport. They are adamant that the brake fluid needs replacing as the brake hose recall didn’t include a flush. Looks like I’ll be doing some phoning around tomorrow. Can anybody recommend somewhere in the northwest or midlands? I...
  2. Would you buy again ?

    I probably won’t buy another one but that’s mainly because I’m 60 and insurance in the UK is going to get more and more expensive as I get older. I reckon I’ll sell it when I’m 65 and see if I can’t buy something weird to drive around in. May be there’ll be a Zeekr 009 equiv in the UK by then.
  3. Anyone else got Porsche Connect problems?

    I was working near the Porsche dealers today so thought I'd drive over and see what they have to say. 200m from the dealers, the phone disconnects from the PCM and re-connects. When I get to the dealers, everything is working fine so I turned around and went back to work.
  4. Anyone else got Porsche Connect problems?

    I hadn’t seen that, thanks
  5. Anyone else got Porsche Connect problems?

    Great. I’ll do battle with the timer/profile to make sure I charge at cheap rate and hope it fixes itself in a few days
  6. Anyone else got Porsche Connect problems?

    My app is reporting a charge level of 94% and thatvthe charging plug is inserted. The battery is at 46% and charging away according to the pcm.
  7. Connected Services inactive

    Mine is back working now too. Now I’m wondering if Octopus smart charging will work once the Connect subscription ends.
  8. 2024 Model 3 Performance

    I can see an insurance problem with the roof crack and the insurer arguing whether it is a manufacturing defect or accident. But I've never had a claim where the insurer refused to pay out what what was quoted for the repair. Is insurers doing this some sort of American thing? Anytime I've had...
  9. 2024 Model 3 Performance

    I made a similar list when I bought my Taycan. It’s interesting that you put navigation on your list. I’ve never bothered with any cars in build nav and always used Apple or Google maps. I do wish I could display Apple Maps on the drivers screen though. As for the infamous 3.3mm dent, that...
  10. EV's vs PHEV's - what makes sense in the next 10 years?

    You're right about the problem with long trips even if 99% of your trips are < 100 miles. You're wrong that PHEV is the answer. It might be the answer for you but for others the answer might be a second car or just deal with the charging infrastructure, which is my solution as the Taycan is my...
  11. How do I find Porsche Charging Service chargers?

    My Taycan came with a subscription to the Porsche charging service. Which is all very nice, but how do I find supported chargers so I only pay the discounted rate? This weekend, for example, I was visiting Bletchley Park and wanted to find a near by charger as I had a bit of spare time and it...
  12. Taycan Secret Tips and Functions

    Press the menu/ac button on the lower centre screen changes the upper screen to the heating/ventilation screen. But press it again and it takes you back to the previous screen it was on, whether it’s Car Play, radio etc.
  13. Perf. plus battery owners: 100% charge gives you how many mileage/km?

    @Jm13rs I’ve got the same car and wheels and get about the same range as you’re getting. I have no idea how people are getting ranges towards 300 miles. I bought an obd dongle to check the battery health in case that was a problem. It’s at 92.2%, to pretty normal for the mileage on the car. My...
  14. EV Tires vs. non-EV Regular Tires - test comparison by Tire Rack

    The last three characters in the tyre spec give the weight and speed rating. Eg W rating is for up to 168mph. Have a search, there are plenty of charts in line.
  15. Range and Battery performance data @ 24,000 km

    A theoretical range of 322 miles and 27.6kwh/100 miles is way more than I get on my 4S CT. I think my is reporting about 40kwh/100 miles.
  16. 🔋 Baseline for HV Battery SoH Performance (Battery Degradation Data by Taycan Owners)

    1) Delivery Soh - no idea, bought second hand 2) Current SoH - 92.2% 3) Current mileage 18300 miles 4) kWh DC charging - no idea unless it in the car scanner app somewhere. I’ve only done 1k miles since I got it 5) MY2023 climate is cool (old England)
  17. At what discounted price would you buy 2023 vs 2025 Taycan?

    In the UK i paid £68k for my MY2023 CT 4S with 16k miles and a reasonable spec. You can have a look at the official Porsche finder site to see how prices compare https://finder.porsche.com/kr/ko-KR/search/taycan?model=taycan
  18. Is there any way to change the brake pedal height

    It’s a minor issue but I dislike how high the brake pedal is compared to the throttle pedal. I’d prefer them closer in height so I can slide my foot over rather than lift it up. Is there any way to change their relative heights?
  19. What is the target SoC to initiate topping up to 85% in order to optimize battery life?

    Mine (in the UK) says 85% for daily driving Use the timer function to programme a high-voltage battery charge level of approx. 85 % for daily use of the vehicle without any long-distance driving.
  20. Has your Porsche Taycan got many stone chip marks on the front of the car? How are you fixing it?

    I bought insurance from a 3rd party, separate from my usual car insurance, that covers me for minor damage to body work, dinged alloys or a flat or damaged tyre. So for example if somebody opens their door in a car park and puts a small dent in my car, I should be able to get it repaired under...
