This car should definitiy be called Barry. Nice job on al the paintings. Nice touch leaving the bumper and side trims silver. Gloss black would haven been a too big contrast. Same silver finish for the wheels may also have worked.

The rubber around the rear wiper was a problem. The changed it in mine for water in the trunk. It was another problem however. In mine the leaking was through the hooks for the cover. At the end it was a rubber between the roof and hatch that was not well fixed.

Just make sure you can also book the charger. Accor hotels usually do this. Or book one with lots of chargers.

I have been avoiding to travel on saturdays during the holidays for this. Black saturdays around lunch time must be a disaster. I did found a solution in the Porsche charging lounge because it is only for Porsche and really big IONITY stations with more than 20 charters or even Tesla with more...

In Europe Aactive ride is not available on the RWD only on 4 wd models.

Thats a choice made a couple of years earlier ?

You are correct of course, after years of experience. I think we have all been there just before starting on our first long road trip with the family. Anxious if everything will work out. Not beiing stranded with an empty battery with an angry wife on the passenger seat who you convinced a...

Many thanks for these tips. The NC 500 looks like a great adventure but it would take to long for this trip.

Perfectly normal. The first miles your car neads to heat the cabine with energy from the battery. That can take quite some energy at low temperatures. The battery it self warms up while driving from being used. If you pre condition the car while plugged in before departure it is better. Or when...

65 K is quite expensive for a 3 year old base. I would go for a new one.

for a split second I wondered why you would pay 350 dollar more for a Tesla model S. I hope it is a Taycan 4S ?

The app isnt actually that precise. Beter tot do it in the car it takes temperatures and elevation in account. Which is actually quite important when driving from and to the alps. For the return trip I usually need one charge stop less. And personale I prefere less but longer stops.

Youre milage isnt actually too bad. But what EV car producers should give is the range at highway speed at optimaal and cold temperatures. That actually is the only range that really matters. All the range figures given are at speeds and temperatures that dont really matter and may fool the...

Fully loaded in the winter with 21 inch winterwheels ar highway peage speeds in France will be around 28-30 kwh/ 100 km in my experience. Good thing ontbindt too cold now, that does make a big difference. If you put on a rooftop box it Will be less. If you are worried about the range, decrease...

Thanks @W1NGE . I am actually also looking for tips for the 3 day road trip after Edinburgh. Never been to Scotland before exept for a meeting in Edinburgh for 3 days long time ago. but didnt see much of the city. I was thinking of driving 2-3 hours a day and hiking for 3-4 hours in the...

Hi Guys. Lots of experienced road trippers on this forum and I am looking for some tips for a trip to Schotland. Haven t booked anything yet. From april 12 th to friday april 17 / 18th. Current plan is the boat from IJmuiden to Newcastle. Seems more comfortable than the tunnel from Calais to...

Yes correct EVSE showing 40 kW charging rate after the power out by the Taycan. Which is impossible with my 22 kW EVSE of course. Out CLA hybrid shows the kW in the charge screen and it was still giving 3,6 kW like it should but the Wallbox app indicated it was 40 kW. Something wrong with the...

I ended up installing a new one. They first changed the power meter but that didnt solve it. The charger worked but I couldnt register anymore wich was necessairy for my company. I didnt forward the costs to Porsche because I didnt want to give them a possibilty to blame Wallbox for the defect...

Nice! Very low consumption for the temperature and average speed. Must be the RWD and 19 inch wheels. How much was your total travel time including charging ? How many charges did you need ?

Wow you’re are keeping us busy. First I thought ze we were narrowing down to 4s and a GTS but now you are adding 911 and Model S. didn’t you like the test drive in the Taycan ?
