  1. Porsche Assistance loan vehicle

    In my experience, for Porsche assist, you do very well to get anything decent! I've had a Renault Kajar, Audi A1, Jaguar shitbox, heavily crash damaged Audi A3., Seat Leon., etc.. (This list alone tells you a lot about early Taycan reliability) Never had a premium car from them (Unless you...
  2. Octopus Intelligent - No Profiles added

    I haven't found the fix, and ive tried. As you say, the price for Intelligent Octopus's cheap charging is that you lose the luxury of getting into a warm/thawed car each morning. Octopus disable any timed entries that already exisit. Really annoying.
  3. 4S vs GTS

    I feel that the difference is greater than the simple specs make out. (Although that does seem to be something agreed by many) . I've had 2 years in a 4S, and near 2 months in the GTS. I am surprised at how much stronger the GTS feels than my old 4S (It also had the big battery). Overall, it...
  4. (UK) Charge point recommendations for workplace

    I can say what I wouldn''t buy.. I wouldnt touch Rolec ever again. I've had 4 units and they all break. From failed internal components to melted internal cables, to damage to the actual type 2 cable plugs. Historically we had a wall charger but quickly realised that we had created a tripping...
  5. Winter And Cold Temperature Weather EV Range Loss - % loss in popular models (chart)

    This morning my GTS reported 132 miles of range on 85% charge. Thats was at -6 degrees. I can also confirm the windscreen washing system isn't good enough to defrost itself at -6. How do they cope in proper cold climates! :-)
  6. UK order status and delays?

    Another GTS. My battery is finally in the car too. Hopefully here for Christmas.
  7. Giving up my GTS order arriving next month

    Agreed.. Quality! Some of the early cars were fine. However, some were unacceptable bad. Mine is a 2020. I'll be glad to get out of it and into a new one that was built properly!
  8. Taycan and UK flooding

    Apparently the battery is sealed so that water isn't really an issue (apart from the corrosion risk of driving through deep water). I've driven through too much deep water and it hasn't caused any problems. Depending on where you live, I would say the UK problem is pot holes .. Heavy car, 21"...
  9. New PCM update and it’s ugly android style buttons.

    Had my Taycan over 2 years, just got the update. Mine looks great. Coloured buttons - long overdue. Mine looked dull and lacklustre before. What were Porsche thinking? A Colour display with mono buttons. On a new car? Why? Will it change? Hopefully more colour. Still way too many mono...
  10. UK order status and delays?

    I think mine was made in July. Are they attempting to make 40K cars per annum? This might mean I have 6000+ cars parked in front of mine :-) :-)
  11. UK order status and delays?

    I might need to eat my words then :-). OPC said 'Ignore that email - Sorry - Everyone is getting them - Your car is still waiting in Emden'
  12. UK order status and delays?

    Its an automated email and means nothing, Sorry. I had one too, about 8 weeks ago. Car still doesn't have a battery.
  13. Taycan 4S vs GTS

    They quote that 850Nm as a maximum torque with launch control. I think it is just marketing to make you know that you are getting the same motors as the turbo. Regardless of how much torque they can make, performance is wound down to a mid point to be better than the lesser car, and not as good...
  14. Taycan 4S vs GTS

    In terms of performance, 0-60 times don't really give the best indication. I think the 0-125mph (0-200) is the one that shows it best (official figures) 4S - 12.9 GTS - 12.0 Turbo 10.6 So, to say the GTS isn't much faster than a 4S is true. Then again, the Turbo isn't really that much faster...
  15. Pictures from production

    Pictures are not always available. My GTS is built and awaiting a battery at Emden, however when i sift through the code on the Porsche website I have : hasProductionPictures: false productionImages: null Which i think is self explanatory. No pictures for me.
  16. Taycan is an ugly car

    My opinion varies slightly. I think Porsche have produced quite a lot of bad looking cars. I'm not sure how anyone can not consider the Cayenne as ugly. I think it rates up there as one of the ugliest cars Porsche has ever made. The original one was shockingly bad (to my eyes anyway!). I would...
  17. New PCM look

    Sorry, but yes . Just got mine done. RIP monochrome icons 🤣🤣
  18. Enterprise hire cars warning!

    I'm Jealous. An S Class!! My 4S is in at the moment, and I have an Audi A3 - 999cc. I had a Renault Kajar but complained that I didn't like it. Enterprise claim to be so short of cars that they have nothing better to offer. Cars in the so called 'Premium' class are in short supply, so I had to...
  19. When’s it’s zero how far do you have

    Just saw one of old responses before the car arrived.. Newer cars may be different but zero means zero on mine . When I stopped the car (on zero) ,it wouldnt pull away. I had to power it down and on again to make it move . But I've never tested it on the move between 0 and -1 . That behaviour...
  20. Tire and Wheel protection from Porsche?

    I cannot comment on other parts of the world, but for certain parts of the UK it is a must. My Taycan is 2 years old and I have blown 3 tyres already (21" wheels). I have never had a car that consumes tyres so quickly. If I lived in an area with smooth roads this wouldn't be an issue, but the...
