The Taycan is the linked car to IO and it automatically maps the charge whenever it's plugged in, as per the settings in the Octopus app. The BMW has no link to IO at all and we just use the cars own standard timers when it's plugged in (11.30—05.30) to charge at cheap rate. No need to...

Strange it happened to a few of us last week. Makes me think there may have been some kind of issue.

We've got 2 electric cars (well Taycan and a BMW PHEV). The Taycan is linked to IO, but the charger just works as a dumb charger on the BMW (11.30—05.30) and it works fine.

Fortunate I just read this. Only recently moved to OI and left my car plugged in for 2 nights (set to 85%) and found it at 99%. I wondered what the issue was. I shall unplug it after night 1 going forward. 👍

Things that I have noted about Musks behaviour lately. Just my 2p for what it's worth....... 1. He seems to mostly focus on one thing at a time. It was all Twitter/X, now it's switched back to Tesla (since Cybertruck) . Imo there are too many major roles for one man (a dictator) to manage...

It will still drive ok in that position. So I just drive it till the catch works again. I have tried covers etc when it's cold, but they don't work. Took it to the dealers, but they said they would need to see it when faulty/frozen to see what was wrong. I asked about bringing it in next...

Only issue I have is with manual charging flap. They freeze in the open position when it's about -5c or colder. They will not 'latch' shut till it warms up. In the pic if you try and close it, it just bounces back to the position shown. Leave it in the sun a while and it then closes normally.

Is this what leads to the mould/algae growth on the ends?

It's been a disappointing first Porsche ownership for me. Its one thing the car having issues, but unforgivable imo that there are not enough Techs to fix them and decent courtesy cars. Having to wait months to even get the car looked at is unforgivable. If you can't fix and service the...

Thanks W1NGE. I was thinking i may be missing out on something game-changing not using AA. Truth is I only listen to Internet radio in my car (a couple of friends dj on fringe music stations - which I can surprisingly get!). And I seldom have Bluetooth on in the car. I don't like taking calls...

I tried it once and haven't used it since. Same on the wife's car. I don't really see any added value for me over the cars own system. Maybe speed cameras on Waze would be useful - but otherwise I don't really see what it brings to the party?

I wonder how the corporate investors feel over such drastic and spontaneous decisions of a single man? I would be quite concerned over the governance of the company if it were me.

I really, really hope it's not something we should need to think about. Ideally, fully qualified engineers at Porsche will have actually thought about this (hopefully more than a quick natter over a cup of tea) ....... and will not be leaving it to some banana brained noggin from Manchester...

I have had the yellow warning twice now. First time a few months ago - then again today. Luckily I contacted the dealer and made an appt the first time it happened - when there were no service spots for Taycans for months ahead. So luckily it's now booked in, in about 2 weeks time. I have now...

My guess-both Directors from the same business playing tennis together and it's an insurance requirement.

Straying slightly off topic - to Taycan used prices in general. I have been thinking why used prices have gone from sky high to rock bottom (ignoring covid related bonkers factors) since I got my car in 2021. My (UK based) conclusion: When I got mine, I assumed used values would hold up much...

Looking at that, I reckon people in Dubai mustn't be used to rain or understand how 'wetness' works. When you live in the UK - we automatically become an expert on water falling out of the sky and accumulating on the ground for months on end I bet they don't even rush out to get burnt every...

In retrospect I wouldn't have bothered with it either. No kids and you don't really notice it in the front. I wish I'd spent the money on brightening up the interior instead - BUT, I listened to my wife who really wanted the pano roof and a black interior. 😔 I must remember to stick my oar...

Pure speculation from me here, but I bet the market (UK) for a Porsche EV in the future will be something like 5:1 (Macan v Taycan). Its a lot cheaper, more practical and won't have the bad rep for reliability the Taycan now has. I won't guess on retained values, as previously I thought the...

Lovely.....reminds me of a PP Nautilus.
