So found out on another thread you can have solar, batteries, export to grid and have an ev tariff so my interest has been resparked. Interested to know if anyone has this set up and how it’s performing, and any regrets? Are you all using Octopus intelligent and their outgoing 15p export...

So, not really a Porsche specific q. Currently with OVO and very happy with ability to charge the Taycan anytime and all at 7p. It’s so stress free and love it! But, looked at replacing the wife’s evoque today with a hybrid 2021 evoque so need to charge this as plan is to run on ev daily as...

Hi- interested in views from anyone on octopus go. I’m currently on 15p day rate and 5p for 4 hours overnight. Contract was due up on Dec 21 but for some unbeknown to me reason rolled automatically for another year so now due to expire in 31 days in 21st Dec 22. Happy days had a year of super...

Hi All- Brakes have been particularity erratic last few days. Wet weather, not working, next day dry weather still very hit and miss when peddle first hit. Several braking scenarios that really made me slightly nervous when simply braking either behind a car or when stopping at a junction...

So, energy crisis well documented. As ev owners this could increase costs significantly, and I’d imagine many are on octopus go. I was on 5p for 4 hours and 14p for day rate, 25p standing. Contact date said ended 21st December and my tariff was octopus go 2018 ( I only joined dec2020). New...

So, luckily I never charge out in the wild. On Thursday have a work meeting at Brighton, overnight stay at the ‘grand Brighton’ and drive home Friday afternoon. I’ve checked zap map and struggling to find any quick chargers to stop at. Basically a12, m25, m23, a23. 120 or so miles one way...

So, had my software update at Porsche yesterday. As usual plug my car in and top up on cheap charge from 1230-0430 and been doing this for 3 months with a profile. No issues in 3 months. Woke up this morning and car not charged. Luckily I was local so manged to get by on 30% battery. Checked my...

Obviously can’t see what it does, but following my business partners taycan who hasn’t got sports Chrono seems to just raise a tiny amount. He says mine raises a lot sometimes ( I have sports Chrono). Found this thread but doesn’t seem conclusive...

When I first got the car couple of weeks back range mode seemed to be limited to 60mph then increase to 90 mph after some time. I presumed this was to do with the batteries warming and becoming efficient or similar. For the last week range mode won’t go above 60 mph. This is even after a trip...

Didn’t spec the all black/ red/ gold crest wheel caps at £114 and now regret it. Anyone know what size caps I need or a part number? Or the price from the dealers for a set? Grey and black ones currently. Anyone found some aftermarket good quality versions? Also fancy the dust caps but...

So, nothing serious, but 3 sets of warming lights today. It was a frosty morning, and I’d left the car outside last night. Used pre heat to warm car up and it did this very well. Got in and drive off and got, various dash warnings. Cameras not working, brake assist not working, headlight...

Did find it a bit annoying to be fair and had contemplated turning it off, but now it’s vanished anyway? No indicator at the bottom of the dash and clearly not working. checked settings and it’s still in the menu and ticked ‘on’ Any ideas why/ where it’s gone?

So, didnt really need to but decide to graze a few kw’s, and had my first public charge. B&m ( podpoint I think) and very successful. Plugged in and off I went. Not so successful, 50kw charger and needed to park In town so had to pay £1.30 an hour for parking so thought I’d give it a go...

Probably being thick but can’t get this to work. Should be wireless as 2021 model. Read the good to know app and even went for what I thought was the Manual in the boot only to find out all 4 books were differing language version for the mobile connect charger! Managed to get the car play...

Tend to carry a few bags in the boot and as I’ve only had my cars a few days still currently keep booting it and backing off. Sure this will wear off... But, thinking I need a cargo net. Anybody bought one and can recommend? Is the Porsche one silly money?

So. Picked up my car this evening, but been having to get the merc c63 ready since I got home as being picked up tomorrow by it’s new owner( washing it in the dark and raining, sure it will look spot on tomorrow!). Sure these are basic questions so thank in advance. Just plugged it into my...

Following My business partners Taycan yesterday. Rear light bar not on then came on. Light conditions didn’t really change and don’t think the front lights came on. When is the light bar on and any way of keeping it on? I’m a bit sad I admit but the light bar looks super cool When in even during...

Hi, car due soon and a quick q on ride nights. When the cars parked what ride height is it set to and is this a choice? I have sports Chrono on a 4s ordered, so have sports plus mode. Can you set it to stay at a certain height or is this mode dependent, eg range, sport plus etc. Prefer the...

So, colleague got his Taycan at the weekend. Hasn’t been able to charge it except on very slow 3 pin charge as got an untethered pod point thinking the Porsche cable would work. It doesn’t. Also, Attempting to charge at a free charger today ( b&m, over the road from work) also couldn’t be done...
