Iām just resurrecting this old post from Graham which is amazingly helpful.
I am currently in discussion with my local Centre about first service. They have advised me that if I skip the water ingress drain checks there is likely to be an issue with claiming on my warranty for anything related...
Great write up and lovely car. Sorry if you already know this but if you get really annoyed with having to turn the sport sound on you can always configure it as one of the diamond buttons and then itās a quick flick on when you want it. That way you can control both regen and sound with two...
The bit I perhaps wasn't clear about was that neither party I spoke to wanted to bid for the car. And it has a very salable spec (I think!). I hope you are all right, but I think everyone should have their eyes open currently, thats the message.
Just to add some colour to this.... As i am hopefully approaching Autumn delivery of my next Taycan I have started making a few enquiries with dealers to sell my current 4S. Interestingly a couple of them I have spoken to so far say they are sitting on more stock than they are comfortable with...
I guess this confirms what we have always known, that manufacturers fit functionality that hasnāt even been optioned by owner number one.
Still a bit shocking to read and shows how little it just actually cost to add certain functions at build and how much margin must be in them when ticked...
I received the call I was hoping for this morning. Finally news on my allocation for an ST GTS. Build slot in August for a late Sept/Oct delivery with any luck. I was apparently no 1 on their list after the lie own demonstrator. Deposit taken on launch day.
Congrats. Great to see it has started. To whet your appetite, this is Cardiffās showroom car on display at a PCGB event this evening. Ignore the colour. The wheels and shape are glorious.
Can I ask please how you got the build loaded into the app in the first place? Did that happen once you got your allocation automatically? Thanks and congrats!
I got in my car yesterday to drive it to the dealer, and all errors and problems had stopped! Working a treat again now. Iāve got an appointment for a months time for recalls anyway so going to hope it was just a glitch and monitor it.
Iāve just had a total failure of both charge port doors out of the blue today. Tried various resets. Porsche assistance came out and canāt fix it so it needs to go to the dealer. Sheesh.
I also had this same situation. I had the WNA5 update need flagged by the web application (MyPorsche) but not on the app. I contacted dealer to book it in, and he has booked me in for this, plus a TMPS (tyre pressure sensor) recall, and a second "pressure sensor" issue that he didnt know much...
Hi there. Iām a fair bit older than you and have been thro a far few cars in my 20s - 40s and I would definately say a 380bhp car that handles well is leagues above a 500bhp car that accelerates quicker but handles like poo. So if you canāt stretch to the Taycan and the only reason to consider...
