    Did you touch up paint on your car before? How was the result?

    Your mileage may vary, but I got the touchup paint from Porsche themselves and it was awful for Dolomite. I have chipex, but have yet to try it out

    I just scraped the side of my car on a steel post

    I had mine repaired at the DL Swindon bodyshop and the work was excellent. Photo is what mine looked like after someone didn't look when changing lanes on a roundabout, but with new panels and extensive blending of the paint it is as good a factory.

    "Denza Z9 GT Is Coming To Europe To Undercut Porsche Taycan" - article & video

    Always enjoy Thomas’ videos and he does seem, ahem, diplomatic. Can’t see me choosing something like this over a Taycan, but maybe someone does really want a non-folding rear fridge

    "Denza Z9 GT Is Coming To Europe To Undercut Porsche Taycan" - article & video

    Thread resurrection, but now confirmed for 2025. Mad rear wheel steer angle of 15 degrees, and a tyre shredding parking feature

    Vehicle Unlocking Itself

    Not sure this is 100% helpful, but if I press the button on the boot itself as I walk away, then click the lock button on the remote before the boot has close, I get a little chirp, but then the locking completes. So that indicates to me the chirp is a sort of 'pay attention'. A few times I...

    Changing mid lease

    It’s a company lease, so virtually zero deposit and ultimately costs me about £1k a year in the tax

    Changing mid lease

    Currently on a 4 year lease, £1400 per month for 15k miles per year (I’ll be well over!). car value was £112k. I’ve had a look at what is around and available and nothing takes my fancy immediately. I’m not expecting great things from them, but as I don’t have an itch to change, I won’t be...

    Changing mid lease

    Hi. I'm about 18 months and 35k miles in to a 4 year company lease with my 4SCT. I'm heading in for some service work and have just been contacted by my local dealer to see if I would be interested in changing. I hadn't thought about that at all as I'm pretty happy, but it has of course got...

    How good is your Taycan at winter?

    It was about -4 in Somerset this morning and there was a thick glaze of ice on the car and I had a similar-ish situation with the door glass. I wonder if last night it got warmer at some point, then re-froze as I also had big globs of ice on the front wings that didn't de-frost even after an...

    AC charging

    Real shame if 22Kw doesn't make an appearance on the J1.2. I picked it for the 22KW charging at work, plus the 150Kw 400W for occasional Tesla usage and both have been really useful for me.

    Excessive tyre wear.

    Taycan seems to be the most variable car for tyre wear. My 4SCT, new in July 23, has just passed 29k miles and the front are wearing evening and on 6mm. Rears were just replaced and they were at 5mm across most, but worn much more on the inner shoulder. Given the car is rear wheel drive for...

    Taycan dealer stock current sale pricing

    So just strolling around Porsche Reading whilst mine is having the hoses done. Nice looking brand new J1.2 Turbo S in the window in Jet Black for £167k. Walk around the showroom and there is a J1 Turbo S with 50 miles on it for £105K. Astonishing

    RECALL : UK ONLY THREAD: Brake Hose Pipes (ARB0) - 21,466 cars will be recalled.

    Mine is in at Porsche Reading today too (working in their little business centre upstairs). Interestingly, as well as the hoses, they said there is another software recall/update to be done to re-programme the brake pedal feel as well. Something to do with positioning I was told. I was a...

    Taycan dealer stock current sale pricing

    I have olea in basalt/atacama on my J1 4sCT and agree that the new iteration looks to be a step backwards. Looks a bit like the old Mercedes C55 AMG two Tone now. I'm interested in the Pepita interior @snb7x for my next Taycan. What exterior colour did you pair it with? I felt the...

    More charge than available capacity?

    I'm sure I am not the first on this, but my 2023 4SCT ran down to 0% charge today on the way in to work (sort of by design, but did get a little squeaky towards the end). It took 4hr 15m at 20kW to get to 100%, but the charger says that it squeezed in 87.6kWh in that time, so almost 4kWh more...

    Charging in Portugal: (almost) everything you need to know!

    To add a footnote to my charging in Portugal, specifically using the Miio App. It seems that the app is a microcosm of the chaos that the OP pointed out about charging in Portugal! This may only affect people if they are using a credit card to pre-pay and load up €20 or so at a time, but this...
