With the weather warming up, today was the first time this year that I needed to turn the aircon on to cool the car down. It was only about a week ago, I was using the heater to defrost the car. Angway, it Just got me wondering which uses the most energy (battery) cooling when it's hot, or...

So what happens with the front air vents when we are driving.....and what does it achieve? I don't think I have seen this mentioned anywhere on here previously. ?

Marvin was a visionary imo. 51 years on and this seem more relevant than ever. Just in case anyone doesnt know the song, or not taken any notice of the lyrics....

Interesting article here saying that the cost of commodities used in EV batteries has more than doubled since the start of the year. https://www.cityam.com/commodities-boom-causes-ev-battery-costs-to-more-than-double/ I wonder whether we will be seeing a more substantial price increase for...

I was reading an article just now comparing a BMW i4 / Polestar 2 / Tesla M3 (BMW won btw) and was looking in the tech comparison at the end. https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/bmw/i4/357296/bmw-i4-vs-polestar-2-vs-tesla-model-3-2022-group-test-review I was surprised to see how little reserve is...

Need to remove a wheel tmrw to repair a curbed alloy. So I am just wondering what everyone else got in the wheel removal puncture dept? I have got the locking wheel nut in the front right compartment and a small 3 piece tool kit. Then a towing eye in the front left compartment. And that's...

This story popped up on my news feed. https://windsorstar.com/news/local-news/windsor-police-warn-of-carjackers-after-electric-porsche-stolen-at-gunpoint Hopefully the driver is ok and the car is tracked.

Most of my previous cars had a small indicator incorporated in the side mirrors. So you could make sure you were indicating at a glance when making a manoeuvre without having to check the dash. I really miss it in this car. Was it an option at all, or just not something Porsche do?

I read on here recently about things that 'age' the battery. One of them was constant fast discharges (acceleration) iirc. So it got me thinking, if different models used the same battery and are driven typical to their potential (TS>T>4S>RWD) will this have an impact on battery degredation...

After 5 months of trouble free use of the PCM, for some reason today it suddenly logged me out. Went to start a journey and the continue as guest screen came up. I did the 2 finger soft reset of the PCM to see if that would help (no change) and then continued as a guest (as my account was...

This is a new series all about electric cars. Last nights main feature was Taycan Turbo v RS Etron GT. Its on Quest on Thu eve, this was episode 2. I recorded it on Freeview as we don't bother with paid TV (Sky / Virgin / BT etc). They did say something about catchup on Discovery+ as well I...

This is my first Porsche and as soon as I picked it up I just threw the Porsche charger and also my home charging lead in the Frunk (or Froot in the UK ?). Seems to make more sense as I am more likely to use the boot (trunk) for other things.....shopping etc. And the leads just fit in there...

I am surprised the new ISA regulations aren't being discussed more on car forums. This will have a huge impact on cars sold in the EU/UK from next July...... https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/103530/uk-set-to-adopt-eu-mandated-speed-limiters I don't want to get into the rights or wrongs...

The Taycan is my first EV and I know very little about them from a long term durability perspective. Especially compared to ICE cars that I have been used to. I am guessing that enough people have now had EVs (Teslas?) longer term and may have some input on this. I appreciate the batteries...

Just wondering if anyone has experienced this before..... Rear door handle extends on unlock and door actually locks and unlocks normally. But the handle does not retract when you press the lock button on the keyfob. You can push it back in manually (with a bit of force). And the door opens...

I have got the RWD without Sport Chrono so my options are Range, Normal and Sport. I never use Range unless the car defaults to it. But I was just wondering what exactly the differences are between Normal and Sport? And do you get an actual performance improvement in sport, in that if you...

I have always charged from home so far.....with a single test charge at a nearby Gridserve. Got some longer journeys planned and just wondering which providers to generally target and which to avoid? Ionity obv if nearby I do know.

Following the thread on the general servicing section about servicing costs, it would appear that the UK buyers are paying more than other countries for servicing. As some cars approach first service time, could members just update this thread with their experiences / costs please. In the...
