    TSB: Re-Programming PSM Control Unit - WPK0 - Brake pedal feel recuperative & hydraulic braking - April 23, 2024

    I have had this update on my Taycan GTS. I am please to state that brakes feel and respond 100% better. No more "sponginess" and lengthy travel of the brake pedal. Best update I have had for the vehicle.

    Teen Driver Rolls Taycan at 100 MPH

    How he missed and went between A) the two fuelling islands, B) the parked red car, C) the "4" numbered post for the parking bay and D) finally the stone boulder in the bottom left hand corner is just remarkable.... Wow this boy was lucky, it could have been way worse!!!

    🚨 2025 Taycan Officially Revealed! Specs, Wallpaper Photos, Videos & US Pricing

    I personally think kudos to Porsche for larger batter, better range and more efficiency. The reworked body is OK, very much in line with Porsche design evolution rather than revolution. But the price is wow! I priced a 4S to the same specification as my GTS and it was over £15,000 more than what...

    Turbo S, Breakdown within the first 24hours of collecting the car

    Feel for you man... I am having a couple of issues with my GTS, nothing too serious but still disappointing. Plus Porsche customer service and workshop experience has been a mixed bag, ranging from awful to good. Have to say, spending this much money on a car with the Porsche brand and having...

    September OTA Update Coming

    That's a bit of a low blow. I have a GTS and a P100D Model S. Both cars have their pros/cons.

    High pitched noise low speed - light acceleration or light braking

    is there a pattern to which cars have this sound or is it completely random?

    High pitched noise low speed - light acceleration or light braking

    I have driven dozens of different of electric cars, none of the make this noise. What else squeals on the car other than possibly brakes?

    High pitched noise low speed - light acceleration or light braking

    Basically, they put the car on a roller/ramp and let it run. They were under the car whilst it was running, removed the bottom cover plate and isolated the sound to front and rear motors. The rest is rubbish and I don't believe this 'tolerance' aspect, whilst I believe the majority of Taycans...

    High pitched noise low speed - light acceleration or light braking

    So an update all. After Porsche saying it was the PSCB (brakes) which I refuted, they have now confirmed that the noise is from the motors and is within "tolerance". Hence, they stated they will not change the motors. Unbelievable! I have driven several different electric cars for over 6 years...

    High pitched noise low speed - light acceleration or light braking

    Porsche Reading have now confirmed the noise is from the motors and not brakes. They told me the noise is within tolerance. I have asked them to define this. There is no way I am accepting this. No other electric car makes this sound. They expect me to accept some Taycan’s do and others don’t...

    High pitched noise low speed - light acceleration or light braking

    @GreenHornet can you ask your Porsche why some make the noise and other's don't? Would they be willing to change the inverter.

    High pitched noise low speed - light acceleration or light braking

    Dear All, this is really useful and i think some pressure needs to be put on Porsche. I reckon alot more people have this issue but don't really realise. I am going to ask Porsche to change the inverter on my car. I am not certain how intrusive/difficult this process would be. I am glad that...

    Do you have anything writing that you could share with us?

    High pitched noise low speed - light acceleration or light braking

    Why do some Taycans make the noise and others don’t? Is it just changing the inverter??

    High pitched noise low speed - light acceleration or light braking

    I think Porsche don’t know themselves, yet. There definitely is an issue and it’s not the brakes. I’m still fighting my corner on this one with Porsche. It’s a sad situation that I’m even doing so give my GTS is only 4 months old and I had to wait over a year for it!!!

    High pitched noise low speed - light acceleration or light braking

    @offplan how many miles/km have you done on your Taycan now? Have you driven it hard and braked hard too?
