  1. Re-programming 22kw (OBC) High -Voltage Charger

    Just to say, noting we collected our Taycan’s from the same dealer at similar time, while I had the update you refer to a couple of months ago with no issues, our dealer is now able to offer the major software ‘uPdate’ (as it’s being labelled) from this week. They expect to need the car for 48...
  2. Key Fob Cloned - Car Broken Into

    Just to add some further perspective from the UK…. Last month, my neighbour’s Mercedes’ recently new estate vehicle was stolen in dawn twilight at around 4am by a 2 man gang. The whole episode was caught on my CCTV (happy to post if anyone would like to see). Both the speed and brazenness were...
  3. UK service & costs

    Someone mentioned earlier in a post on this thread that Porsche GB had said that having the car serviced outside of the U.K. would invalidate the service warranty. I’m no lawyer but, I think that’s not the case. The warranty contract is I believe with Porsche GmbH and is global subject to the...
  4. Tesla’s UK charging network opens to all electric cars

    Does anyone know where there is an info resource available listing which Tesla sites are open to use by other brands? Will Porsche charger planning software be updated to reflect this? Perhaps forum members from territories where the Tesla pilot has been longer running could advise on this?
  5. UK service & costs

    Huge thanks for this! This is where forums come into their own. Do dealers not realise nowadays that enjoying margins far richer than they should be v competitors can come back to bite and is far less easy to get away with? I still think change is coming. We are living in times where demand...
  6. Taycan the (front) tyre killer!

    Personally, I think you’re overreacting. The Taycan uses a standard P Zero, which can be swapped for a Michelin variant. It’s not a Veyron using bespoke tyres.
  7. Delivery Delays

    If I may ask, what’s your rationale for switching to a Turbo from a 4S? Real world, there’s little noticeable difference in performance and the waiting list, given the factory shutdown and waiting list, is likely going to see you waiting 12 months. New model year Taycan’s typically launch...
  8. Delivery Delays

    It shows how mad (first world problems mad I hasten to add, unlike people losing lives & homes elsewhere en masse right now)things are getting when Tom Hartley currently have a delivery mileage 22 plate Taycan Turbo on sale for ~£160k! Granted, that’s screen price not deal price but crikey! Be...
  9. Taycan the (front) tyre killer!

    Is that what Porsche Preston quoted per tyre out of interest?
  10. Delivery Delays

    Glad you’re enjoying your new car! I’d be surprised if a Porsche dealer would agree to fit tyres not supplied by them. I’d expect a high street tyre merchant to be significantly cheaper. However, would I personally trust them to understand to use lift mode and not make contact with the battery...

    Pleased with the new car and the spec I went for. Thankfully, this one works! Yet to really drive it, since it’s been receiving PPF this week. I’ve had Mission E wheels on both my Taycan’s but have only covered 2000 miles collectively across the pair. Hence, couldn’t really gauge tyre wear...

    Glad you’ve thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. The two plastic tags you refer to sound like the tracker fobs for Porsche VTS.
  13. Delivery Delays

    Congratulations! Are you pleased with it? In defence of your wife, it is a very wide car and takes some getting used to if spatial awareness isn’t your strength. Most UK drive throughs are out of bounds if you want to avoid kerbing your alloys with the Taycan, as can be a lot of multi story car...

    How did your new car day go Gary? Guessing from the silence you’re busy enjoying it, clocking up the miles!
  15. Delivery Delays

    I'll consider things sorted once the car is safely delivered without blemishes or faults. Definitely not before. Excuse the pessimism.

    Thanks Soawjo. Now collecting mine on Saturday. Was offered Friday collection but now likely flying back from New York Friday so Saturday will suffice.

    Enjoy tomorrow! Look forward to seeing the pictures once you post them.
  18. OTA software updates

    Can anyone tell me what are the benefits of activating this service? I was surprised to find this buried within the option menu of the My Porsche web app (not the iOS app). Do you need the 7Gb data per month data package option selected for this to work? It seems to suggest that it can reduce...

    Nope.
  20. Operating Taycan while stationary and connected to charger

    The same. Green release light indicating that it’s pulling power from the grid. Still switches off after 15 mins.
