    Tall drivers long journeys

    I'm a fairly tall guy - around 6ft 3in - and on long journeys of over an hour or two I find I get quite uncomfortable in the seat. This didn't happen in my old VW Golf and my partner who is 5ft 5in has no issues on the same journeys in the passanger seat. Any other tall drivers find this? How...

    How to get battery to preheat for charger not recognised by Porsche nav

    If I set the destination or stopover as a charger shown in the Porsche sat nav the car will preheat the battery. But if I want to stop at a charger not shown in the navigation, is there a way to get the car to preheat for that stop? I thought of two things that might work: 1) Add a...

Looking at the reviews of chargers like Wetherby (new Gridserve...

    Noise insulating glass and mobile reception

    Carbon cost of Taycan production

    I've got a deposit down for a new Taycan Turbo which I expect to be delivered at some point in the distant future. Since EVs generally cost more carbon to produce than non-EVs (although generally less over the lifetime of the vehicle) I'm interested in how much it would cost for me to offset my...

    Cabin noise difference between 20 inch and 21 inch wheels

    Does anyone have experience with both the 20s and 21s and can comment on the cabin noise? The Mission E wheels looks fabulous but I would also like a relatively quiet cabin at motorway speeds.

    Car size for city streets and country lanes

    I live in East London where the streets can often get narrow when there's two way traffic and cars parked down both sides. In my Golf GTE I'm often squeezing through little gaps and I'm aware that I won't be able to do that so well in the Taycan. Do any of you find the car is just a bit...

    Will different UK Porsche centres have different build dates?

    I see US people saying that their dealerships have allocations and so wait times for new orders can vary. In this case it makes to call around when placing a new order. Is it the same here or does it not matter where you place your order?

    Will Porsche address software issues

    I’m close to ordering a new 4s, but due to wait times it’ll be a year until I actually get it. I see a lot of complaints about software issues which seem fixable. I’m wondering if Porsche has a good track record on other cars for fixing software issues? In which case by the time I get the car...
