    My Taycan Boot (US:Trunk) Won't Open

    Hopefully yours as reset now and was just software glitch but I had this on my 2020 4s a couple of years back. It was initially intermittent, seemingly leaving the car overnight and going back to it worked a few times but then it completely stopping working. Turned out to be a broken wire which...

    Help needed - stupid and potentially expensive issue

    I had an issue with mine where the boot/trunk stopped opening. Took it to dealer and it turned out to be a faulty wire. On querying with them about an emergency mechanical release, it turns out there isn’t one directly accessible. I believe they had to drill into the plastic covering the latch...

    UK: Any recent order of Taycan, 4S or GTS with Bose

    Thanks for the replies. Spoke to SA and they are going to retry adding it before lock, which has now moved out a few more weeks due to the delays. - moved from May to June.

    UK: Any recent order of Taycan, 4S or GTS with Bose

    Sutton Coldfield - They have been very good and I know he tried putting the initial build with it on but it wouldn't accept it.

    UK: Any recent order of Taycan, 4S or GTS with Bose

    Hi All, I am in the process of finalising a build for a new 4S and wanted to include Bose, as I have it on my current 4S. However, the SA is saying it isn't possible due to the current supply issues. I was therefore wondering if anyone in the UK has been able to fix their order recently with...

    Why go for the Performance Battery Plus?

    One other thought, albeit minor, is that the cost of charging might also be a consideration for some in determination of benefits of PB+. Charging over night costs me 7.5p on Octopus Go, whereas charging away has seen me pay up to £0.76 KWh. So you can get an extra ~10Kw at home rather than...

    Why go for the Performance Battery Plus?

    From my point of view having PB+ has saved me a few times and certainly helps reduce the range anxiety on longer trips. I think having just the standard PB battery could be fine but it is the unexpected times where it helps, from unexpected trips/diversions to unexpected failures of the over...

    UK Insurance - selecting repairer rules?

    Started using Admiral when I got the car in 2020 and like you was a bit dubious about how they would be if I needed to claim but given the significant difference in quotes and the fact that a number on the forum were using them I decided to go with them. Unfortunately earlier this year I had...

    Purchasing and adding features via.. Function On Demand

    Mine is exactly the same, just have the data package. The car doesn't have Power Steering Plus or Innodrive (do have acc) so was expecting these to show up in FoD as available options.

    New owner query

    That is my understanding also, so it should have only done the pre-conditioning on the Monday morning which I wouldn't expect to account for a 30% loss. The only other things I can think of that might cause it to start pre-conditioning is if you open the car with the key or maybe if you have...

    New owner query

    Just re-read your message and noted that you are using the timer, this could certainly explain some loss given that it will pre-condition each time and if the weather is really cold it has a lot of work to do. I had mine pre-condition a couple of weeks ago while not connected to a charger and...

    New owner query

    I wouldn't have thought the percentage would drop due to the cold, it is usually the range that is impacted - so the 95% only gets you say 200 miles in the colder weather instead of 240 miles in warmer but happy to be corrected. One thing that could consume energy is if you have timed...

    Porsche connect - server to car failed to connect again but does this resolve it or is it just coincidental?

    Just tried to use Porsche connect app on the phone and online with neither of them being able to communicate with the car. The connection to the Porsche server was showing ok but nothing being passed from the Porsche server to the car. This has happened on a fair number of occasions over the...

    PCM connection to Porsche Server

    Connection is back up and running for me now. Pretty certain it was Porsche server side as none of the things I tried over the previous days did anything and it just came back online. Hopefully it is now working for the rest of you.

    UK insurer recommendation please

    I too am with Admiral and renewed again with them this year - they did increase renewal quote by 30% but they dropped it a bit after calling. I did try a number of others including specialist brokers, the only one to come close this year was NFU Mutual but be prepared to spend quite a bit of...

    PCM connection to Porsche Server

    Maybe coincidental but mine also went off around the time of a DC fast charge.

    PCM connection to Porsche Server

    I have the same issue, data showing in the app is over two days old. Have tried re-installing but no joy. LTE connection is showing in car but porsche server doesn't appear to be connecting to car. It is rather frustrating that the connect functionality is so lacking when compared to other...

    Park button - a little fact for an emergency situation

    Hi All, Attended a PEC session yesterday and thought I'd pass on a little fact that I was not aware of, you'll all probably shout already knew that! as having checked it is in the manual under "activating the emergency braking function". Anyway, holding in the Park button for around 4 secs...

    Silverstone Experiance Day

    After owning the car for just over a year I managed to get to Silverstone yesterday for my Porsche experience and what an absolutely brilliant day! Even though there were still a few covid restrictions in place and one of the tracks was not available, apparently there is some sort of event on...
