    PVTS weirdness - can’t set an end time

    I noticed this changed about a month ago and assumed it was a blip but have just tried again and it’s the same. For the first 2 years of ownership I could stick the car in Transport mode and set any end time I wanted. I travel on ferries a lot so use it often. Now when I go to set it, I only...

    My turn for a heater failure

    Mines an MY22, no issues so far with the heater until today when I decided it was a bit cold. Even set to MAX it’s blowing out cold air only despite being fine all winter (never hot like other cars I’ve owned but always warm). I’ve had a read through the many many threads about heaters on here...

    Maps / Navigation not loading

    When starting the car today the maps don’t load - “unable to load map” on the driver console and “navigation loading” on the centre console. Even while driving (albeit short journeys only today) the navigation doesn’t ever load. LTE connection is strong and the car was turned off and on...

    OVO Charge Anytime price increase

    Just had an email from OVO saying they're updating their T&Cs: These changes won’t affect the way Charge Anytime works. Instead, they’ll include more information on how we optimise your vehicle's charging to help balance supply and demand across the grid, and how we use your charging data. I...

    Heated mirrors?

    I might be being blind but I’ve searched the manual and the forums. I’m now wondering if heater mirrors was an option I forgot to tick, but also don’t remember suffering last winter with not being able to see anything in the mirrors when they’re damp or cold. Do these cars have heated mirrors...

    Better tech in the new Mini

    So we collected our new Mini Cooper SE Sport last week, it's a 52kWh battery and about 220bhp. It's Chinese made, shouldn't be called "Mini" and is overpriced for a Chinese import but my wife's a die-hard Mini fan. Straight away there's some useful tech on there that the Taycan is missing...

    South West UK to Disneyland Paris

    First major trip in the car after having it 11 months and despite a couple mishaps it was a really decent trip. The Taycan is just made for long distance cruising and compared to previous cars I ended the journey far less fatigued. The traffic sign display and auto headlamp adjustment made...

    Nav increasing battery %age at destination

    Has anyone had this before? Yesterday the nav started my regular journey telling me I’d have 70% battery left at destination. Usually I can increase this a bit by driving carefully, so I didn’t think much of it as it started to tick up to begin with. I even commented to my wife how awesome my...

    OVO Charge Anytime now supports solar

    I've had an invitation to a pre-launch test for OVO's Charge Anytime for those of us with Solar. I'm not 100% sure I understand how it measures what's solar and what isn't, but it reads like I'll get a credit for any juice put in the car purely from solar (which is most of it - I'm very careful...

    Military Road, Isle of Wight (video)

    This has long been my favourite driving road, since my motorcycle days. Now very lucky to spend a lot of time on the IoW and today was my first drive of this road in the Porsche. Very little traffic and the few cars that came along (6mins in ish) were very easy to get round. Could have been a...

    How to prepare the battery for a charge

    So I understand that if you use the Porsche navigation and set chargers as destinations or waypoints, the car will warm the battery ready for your arrival to get the best possible charge rate. What if I decide last min to charge or aren’t using the navigation? Today for example I was near a...

    Annoying plastic paint protector?

    I’m assuming this bit is to protect a vulnerable area from chips but as soon as there’s any dust or dirt they stick out like a sore thumb on a light colour. To the point 3 people have pointed to them today alone to say “that bit looks a bit rubbish” Is anyone else suffering with these? Any...

    Wavy windscreen

    I thought I was maybe imagining it at first, but there's an annoying wavy section on the windscreen of my new Taycan which is making my eyes sore when driving. It's a bit like those joke mirrors - there's a slight wavy distortion and typically it's right where my eyes focus on the road. Does...

    It’s here and the wait is all forgotten

    As per title, 12 months now seems like nothing. Scared my wife with the acceleration on the way home, scared myself on the motorway how quick it reaches 90-100. Otherwise all good and driving through our thin village isn’t nearly as bad as I was worried about. apparently I was very lucky to...

    What’s all this about then? (Letter from Porsche in German)

    Got this in the post today, all in German. Other than the VIN and date of production it’s all gobledegook. Also the car has been entirely registered to and purchased via my business address and this came to home.

    Will this fit the key?

    Getting ahead of myself (car is due sometime in June…maybe…) but will this fit the Taycan key? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384991362306?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=TxSvfvjbRNO&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=pZyhdWL_Rj2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I like the clip, handy for belt hoops

    Tyre & Alloy Insurance

    Dealer has quoted £585 for 3 years. TidyAlloys is £395 for the top package but without specifics of the Porsche package it’s hard to compare. Any advice from people on here?

    BMW i4 M50

    Haven’t read about these before but honestly if these were available now I think I’d be sorely tempted to save 30k vs my 4S build and get one. Maybe next car! https://configure.bmw.co.uk/en_GB/configid/ip58ji2m

    Ambient lighting - what’s lit without it?

    I’d not noticed the ambient lighting option until today and haven’t specced it. Without the option ticked, what interior lights are there as standard? Is it just the overhead lights when the door opens, or are there guide lights for door handles etc?

    Any third party roof bar feet yet?

    I’m surprised Thule haven’t released a compatible set of roof bar feet yet. Does anyone know of any? Porsche ones seem overpriced and the beauty of Thule is that I’ve always just swapped the feet with each change of car
