    21 inch tires or 20 inch tires

    Depends on brand more than diameter I think. PS4S regarded as a quieter tyre than Pirelli for eg. But again depends on which Pirelli etc... My Taycan very smooth on 20" PS4 - I'd say the perfect compromise between 19 and 21. But no one is going to say the ride is poor on 21" - as it isn't -...

    21 inch tires or 20 inch tires

    I so pondered this! I decided on 20" on my air 4S CT. The ride is exceptionally good - far better than anything BMW or Audi on steels. It is SO incredibly smooth. The handling and grip are excellent and I push this car on Welsh B roads. It has PDCC (active anti roll bars) which may again...

    Interesting, so, say you add a year 4 warranty the battery gets 9 years then?

    Extended Warranty Options for HV Battery?

    I can see that requiring clarity and options later on maybe but don't you have about 5 years left on the battery only warranty?

    Does the Webasto heat the battery?

    Its this device right - definitely seems to have coolant pipes in and out despite being called 'blower motor fan'!!! 👍 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275747014541

    Does the Webasto heat the battery?

    Interesting! When I looked into it (and what the problem was) it was a silicon based resistive device - but it sits in water?

    Taycan 2 Year Service

    Never have I been fed so much nonsense and BS. Best I got was £470 with a 3 hr drive but I managed to get local dealer down from £840 to £650 after 2 weeks. Some say it is time to read the modules for error codes or its unscrewing wheel arch liners to check drains etc - depends on the mood...

    Taycan 20,000 miles

    Hate unnecessary spends and maintenance but my 20yr old daughter had an accident as she lost brake pressure on a big downhill. She got the Golf after her grandmother passed and I guess brake fluid changes had not been done despite the car being serviced... She was fine but shaken and needed a...

    Taycan 20,000 miles

    I'm on 21,000. No issues till now - the brake pedal is travelling much lower and when the mechanical brakes blend in I need to apply more pressure so it goes lower still. Its a little disconcerting at times - lots of travel. Obvs a brake fluid change is imminent at 2 yrs old and its booked in...

    TSB: Check High-Voltage Battery; Leak testing details (WNW3) - Aug 4 2023

    :crying: If they find a leak do you get the car back until a new battery is ready?

    UK service & costs

    So much shenanigans over this. Absolute buffoonery. I'm driving 160 miles to Bournemouth for £474 inc club discount. The not Lovett dealer SW monopoly 2 miles away wants Over £800. No chance. We will have a coastal weekend break and still save a few quid. Such nonsense.

    What is the truth on huge service costs and 'drain holes'?

    This is the issue - are they all quoting for the same? I found it to be an absolute mess with huge misinformation.

    What is the truth on huge service costs and 'drain holes'?

    The pano roof doesn't have drains - being one solid piece of glass?

    What is the truth on huge service costs and 'drain holes'?

    Was this recently and are you happy to name the dealer? DM if pref.

    What is the truth on huge service costs and 'drain holes'?

    Been shopping round for `1st service cost and some dealers want 4 figures as they have to clear 'drain holes'. Checking Pano roof drains aren't blocked is one thing (except mine is a solid roof:crying:) but what the heck is going on here? Is it job creation or do they really have to take a few...

    Alea yacta est. the dice has rolled…

    The other bonus of the less sexy 20" wheels are of course up to 10% extra range; that swung it for me and they look OK from 10 metres or 2 pints away ;-) I like my PDCC - its decouples ARB (think you call them sway bars in USA) so a better ride straight ahead (its astonishingly good with air)...

    Taycan depreciation

    I'm sure you are right, but its funny how no one saw it coming - it was all about battery tech improvements giving it a hit! Much of the upside of buying via your company now seems to be being ported straight over to the next owner rather than those that risked an EV purchase or/and took a big...

    Brake lights during recuperation?

    Personally, if its doing high retardation I'd want to know that car behind is getting some brake lights. I think ACC does but Auto Regen doesn't brake hard enough to warrant it? I think I need to get my GoPros out and hover the drone over J32 of the very downhill mile of the M4 exit slip road E...
