    Porsche Tracker Holder

    The Porsche tracker fob is such an awkward shape, I used to keep it in my wallet, but recently bought one of these, still not ideal but an improvement. What do you do, other than leave it in the car? Porsche Tracker Holder – Coupland Leather

    Domestic Wall Chargers Not Andersen, how about Porsche or Tesla or ?

    I've had an Andersen wall charger at home for over 3 years and it kept failing. It still charges but there is no app control and a red light. Andersen want the price of a new one to fix it and to be honest it's my second Andersen unit and they have both failed on a regular basis, with numerous...

    Turbo vs Turbo S

    I recently replaced me Taycan Turbo 2020 with a Taycan ST Turbo S, pretty much identical spec, except I changed vegan interior to leather and added a HUD. Would I do it again, absolutely not! Aside from the insurance costing four times as much (separate thread), there is minimal performance...

    Insurance Problem between Taycan Turbo and Turbo S

    Hi All, I've recently moved from a Taycan Turbo to a Turbo S and Porsche Insurance refused to insure the Turbo S due to the value. I had to cancel it and go through another underwriter, which cost four times that of the Turbo. Moreover, I have to ensure the gate to our driveway is shut every night!

    Taycan in the Scottish Highlands and Islands

    If you're thinking of touring Scotland, I thought I'd share my thoughts. We've just has a week touring Scotland in the Taycan and charging was a nightmare, we used the ChargeScotland App but didn't have the RFID card, around 40% of the chargers were broken, especially at the ferry ports and...

    Loss of Internet Access From Car

    I'm unable to connect to the car from the App and within the car I have no satellite imagery on the map, no route updates for travelling, no weather, etc. I've tried the 2 finger death punch and that made no difference. Porsche dealership (South Lakes) told me to contact Porsche Connect and...

    Sudden Massive Depreciation In Used Value

    Last year (2022) I chose to replace my fully loaded Taycan Turbo as it was less than a year away from the PCP contract ending. I asked what my trade in value would be and was offered £105,000 (25% depreciation over 2.5 years) by Porsche in Bristol, I was happy and ordered a new Porsche Turbo S...

    Another External Squeak, This Time It's The Wheel - >20K Miles

    I followed the previous thread about a constant squeal at low speed, which was present for weeks, the suggestion of bedding in, isn't correct as I'd done 19,000 miles. However, a return trip to the Isle of Man seemed to cure it (600 miles), sort of, I now have an unrelated squeak from the front...

    Taycan is a bag of bollox!

    In addition to it randomly turning the radio to full volume when locked and unattended, the boot (trunk) opening, the wing mirrors not dipping when it’s reversing, the parking sensors being over sensitive and alerting on 4 inch kerbs, not connecting to a mobile phone for a week, online radio not...

    Taycan Crap Nav

    Great car to drive but an absolute nightmare on a long journey, it’s like stepping back 15 years to those early sat navs. I’ve even had to resort to pen and paper and make a note of which service stations have which chargers for long journeys. I have now travelled well over 2000 miles and these...

    Why is 85% battery recommended as the normal maximum?

    I was diligently charging the Taycan to 85% unless I had a long trip planned, when a friend who is an EV veteran told me that the 85% is only for when you are using fast chargers, due to the heat and that with the low wattage domestic chargers 100% would be okay all the time. Has anyone looked...

    Taycan Data Package

    I wanted to avoid purchasing the Taycan Data Package, which at £19 per month for 7GB is daylight robbery! (Shame on you Porsche) With Audi you can use any mobile SIM. Has anyone used the included data (I think it is 1GB per month?

    After 1200 miles, what I love and what I wouldn't configure

    The fire extinguisher, in front of the passenger seat is an obstruction and I removed it. The leather free interior isn't as supple as leather, I wish I'd opted for the leather. The panoramic sunroof gets really hot when very sunny With the white colour, every insect impact leaves blood, I wish...
