  1. How I fixed the door rattles

    I had an early Taycan Turbo S. It was a rattlefest - ten rattles from doors, the dash, the headliner.. creaks, cracks and squeaks. I took it back and got a refund. It was just too much and felt it would be a wack-a-mole. However ... my 911 991.1 Turbo S rattled.. took 6 months to resolve. My...
  2. Taycan Lands on Roof of Another Car in Home Crash

    Happened to me when I first past my test.. some ... ahem... years ago. I was in a queue of traffic at some lights. Had a mate in the back, turned around to brag about the stereo I'd just put in with its whopping 20watts of power, foot slipped off clutch and I was into the back of the car in...
  3. Noises driving me nuts

    Kind of acceptable driving a rental car with 100k miles on it and having rattles. Rentals aren't exactly looked after :) I have this feeling that if your Taycan had that many rattles it would have been launched through your dealer's window by now.
  4. Noises driving me nuts

    I'm sorry to say I had at whopping ten (or more) different rattles, squeaks and buzzes. Door cards all of them, headliner, seats, dash board, speaker grill passenger side, dashboard near steering wheel, trim above door, seat belt outlets.. Some were quietish. Some, when they happened were...
  5. Does anyone else with full PPF have a seam like this?

    Hmmm I don't think I have a DM from you? However thanks for the suggestion. I'm not after anything at the moment but always useful to have a list of reputable companies. :)
  6. Does anyone else with full PPF have a seam like this?

    As mentioned in my post this kind of seam has always been my experience with every installer I've used. I don't really see how an acute angle corner can be wrapped with PPF but it would appear from other members that it is possible. @awhawton 250 microns is pretty impressive. Do you have any...
  7. Does anyone else with full PPF have a seam like this?

    I have had several cars wrapped from a "bra" to a full PPF by several reputable film installers. In all cases there were seams visible in places but they should not be as visible as they are in the pic from Dave T. Generally you should see no more than a couple of mm of exposed paint. However...
  8. Demonstration / discussion of burmester sound system in taycan turbo

    Burmester in the Taycan is as good a sound system as I've heard in a car and this includes my RS6 with B&O which was superb. Totally agree - Insulated glass is close to essential. with Burmester ticked.
  9. Lucid Air launch today.

    Great interior, looks like a Taycan on steroids. Exterior is a little strange. Looks big. Perhaps in the err "metal.." it might look quite good. If it were between that and a Model S it would win hands down.
  10. 22KW charging

    I was told by my dealer that MY20 cars would not be upgradeable to 22kw A/C charging.
  11. 22KW charging

    I think he is referring to your comment " 380V 30A, gives me 34.2kW " W=V*A 380x30=11400W (11.4kW) EDIT:~ Which would be correct(ish) for single phase but not for 3 phase! (My error) As mentioned by Scandinavian in a later post the correct figure is around 20kW.
  12. 22KW charging

    This might help answer this to at least an extent.. https://www.westernpower.co.uk/downloads-view-reciteme/29134
  13. 22KW charging

    This is correct. Andersen told me that to have anything more they needed a 3 phase supply. Even 11kw requires 3 phase. Also worth pointing out that the power company wanted justification for the 100 amp fuse. Andersen asked me to provide a list of power hungry electrical devices so they could...
  14. 22KW charging

    In the UK most homes are single phase so you get a max of about 7kw anyway. 22kw is doable at many work places where 3 phase is common. I had an Andersen charger installed at home on a single phase supply, I also had to get my supply fuse changed from a 60amp to 100amp. In practice 7kw is fine...
  15. How do you stuff over 1700 ponies in your stable ?

    First red taycan with the red black wheel combo I've seen. Very nice indeed!
  16. Passenger Display

    I would be worried about the work required to fix the problem if it means dash out but I just would not be able to live with a scratched display on a new car. IMO you should keep fingers crossed and get it fixed. It might be more straightforward to replace it than you think.
  17. Don’t curb the wheels!!

    The wheel can be cosmetically fixed as far as I can see. I'm not sure what your dealer is really trying to say.
  18. Convince me to make the change!

    You are a higher rate tax payer.. cars is £100k.. You take money out of the company to buy it so roughly £140k to get £100k.. Cost to the company - £140k However, maybe I'm completely wrong here but the company can claim... half of the vat back on the car AND offset the car against corp tax at...
  19. Convince me to make the change!

    Cars with CO2 emissions of less than 50g/km are also eligible for 100% first year capital allowances. This means with electric cars, you can deduct the full cost from your pre-tax profits. On a car costing around £40,000 this could amount to a tax relief of £7,600 in the first year...
  20. Passenger Display

    The screen is useful for passengers. Looks good in the car... not exactly essential but I would spec it again.
