    Bay Area Taycan Depreciation

    Much more relevant- Taycans need to be compared to their 4-door peers, and the equivalent competition, rather than out-and-out sports cars.

    Ford vs Porsche and “other drivers”

    Same here, In fact get let out in traffic etc. much more in the Taycan ( which is Carmine, so not subtle) than in any other car

    Home charging issues

    I have exactly the same issue-the Zappi charger shuts down and restarts a couple of times before I get the charge completely error- I’ve noticed the mains voltage plunging to below 200v during the charging, and know the Zappi has a limit of 207v before it trips out- network provider...

    Complete Charge error on Zappi

    My MY 22 RWD Taycan continuously throws up a ‘complete charge’ message and stops charging at random Intervals when plugged into my new Zappi V2. I’ve adjusted the power from 7kw right down to 2 kW to see if that helped but to no avail. However, it works fine when I use the Porsche mobile...

    New Charger 7.4kw installed only charging at 1.4kw

    We had the same when our new Zappi was installed- turns out it was a configuration issue in the charger that required a firmware update to sort

    Should I let my 17 year old son drive my car?

    Due to its width and restricted visibility, the Taycan is actually a pretty intimidating car to drive for an inexperienced driver, and easy to make a mistake in. I know my kids would be very upset if they damaged my pride and joy so wouldn't put them in that position. Supervised would be fine...

    Retro Fit Adaptive Cruise Control

    Thanks. I'll look that up. Great advice. Press and hold the regen button to activate, or set as 'on' in individual mode

    Retro Fit Adaptive Cruise Control

    the standard Auto regen function does a great job of managing the distance to the car in front on a trailing throttle- not full ACC for sure but I'm surprised how often i use it in spite of having ACC fitted, especially in suburban scenarios

    Range after 3 years of DC charging

    i think the key factor here is the climate the car is operating in -outside temp is shown as 28 degrees-those of us in Northern climates operate more that 10 degrees C below that ( and a lot lower in winter) - we all see the degradation of range as the temperature cools, so no surprise the...

    Brake Feel Improved After Flush

    I had exactly the same experience- I suspect more than just a flush was done- either they’ve learned to bleed the system properly or the regen engagement has been recalibrated to give a more natural experience.- maybe both. Whatever it was, it worked

    Struggling to understand Taycan regen brakes

    I disagree regarding Auto regen (which is activated by holding the regen steering wheel button down for a few seconds) - although I have active cruise control available, I use auto regen regularly and find it very intuitive. it controls relative speed and space to other vehicles very well...

    Broken heater - there was an error during preheating / cooling

    Had this recently, and mine has been diagnosed with a faulty servo- this prevents air from getting in, hence foggy windows. Workaround from dealer whilst waiting for the part is to activate air recirculation- this will heat/ clear windows. I open a window slightly too to let fresh air in.

    Judder from tyres when cold
