    Pot holes 1,000s of 'em

    Similar issues in Cambridge. In January, I went over a huge pothole hidden by water whilst only doing 30mph, and it resulted in needing a new wheel. Cost over £2k to get it fixed and I was without a car for two weeks. The council fixed the hole about four weeks later, but it's now already...

    52p per KW … ( the new electricity domestic UK cap)

    I too would be interested in any recommendations for solar installers. We're fortunate to have a 3 acre garden, so I've received quotes for building a system away from the house, that way we can keep expanding it when/if the indoor pool gets built.

    To conclude this thread, whilst I put a deposit down for the Kia EV6, we got a Ford Mustang Mach-E. My problem with Kia is probably what those waiting on their order are likely feeling with Porsche right now. We were just never given any updates on when it was likely we would get it. All the...

    Learning to drive in a Taycan Turbo

    It's now over a year since I passed my driving test and ventured out with a Taycan Turbo as my first car. So first of all, yes, I am still alive and this is not my widowed wife typing this, nor have I come back from the afterlife to seek vengeance on the salesman that sold me the car. In fact...

    Crack in REAR window

    Had the same thing happen to my MY22 Turbo S a few weeks ago. It started very small and now it's spreading like monkey pox. Porsche Cambridge had not seen it before but the warranty covered it and they'll resolve it in a few weeks.

    Taycan v Kia EV6 GT

    I ordered a Kia EV6 GT-Line S as a second car earlier in the year. We test drove a Tesla Model 3, Ioniq 5, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Jaguar iPace and it felt the best of them all. It's still very clearly not at the level of a Taycan in terms of looks and quality, but then it costs 3x less than...

    Poll - Has your Taycan shifted to P or N automatically?

    And Turbo S. Ours has done it multiple times.

    Taycan 4S -> Taycan Turbo S

    I always enjoy your write-ups, Damien. Glad to see you join us in the No Rationality Zone AKA the Turbo S. I mentioned before that the steering wheel wasn't worth the carbon fibre, but I do think it looks amazing on the mirrors. I added £24k of options to my Turbo S and I don't regret any...

    Curious to see Everyone's Automotive Journey That Lead You to the Taycan (pic heavy)...

    I didn't start lessons until I was 33 (in 2020), then lockdowns happened and I passed three months after the Turbo arrived in 2021. I bought it for my wife and said I wouldn't be so stupid to have it as my first car. The worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves; I have, in fact, never driven...

    We also went to see a BMW i4 but in the end bought a Kia EV6 GT Line S AWD in Steel Matt Grey, like this https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/2gkBg/s1/2022-kia-ev6-us.jpg Will pick it up in August

    EV6 is one of the cars we're going to test drive this coming weekend. It looks good, the reviews are great, it's got a boot size very similar to a Mach-E and it's cheap at £50k for their (current) top-end model. My wife keeps saying "Great, so you get to tell everyone you drive a Porsche...

    Your other electric vehicle

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. We went to look at the Mach-E GT and Jaguar I-Pace earlier. It's hard to get excited when you already have your dream car and you're looking at something that is 75% cheaper, so I mostly looked at the boot space and asked "when you say OTA software updates...

    For those that love their Taycans and will give up their firstborn prior to their beloved car, but need another electric car, what do you drive or what do you have on order? My wife is car hunting for something we can take ownership of before the year-end, with significantly more storage...

    Confirming the MY of a Porsche

    I wanted a MY2022 Turbo S, so paid the deposit in May 2021 with the dealer being aware that I would wait until they became available. I still used the existing configurator in the meantime to create a spec that was used for the order, but once the new one came out my dealer contacted me to...

    Fifth Gear: Recharged. Taycan v RS Etron GT

    MY2021 Turbo bought for £131k in March 2021, sold in December 2021 with 4k miles and replaced with a MY2022 Turbo S. I tried WBAC, Wizzle and Motorway and no one beat the original dealer, who bought it back for £120k . I see it now for sale on Porsche.com for £133k, so perhaps if I went private...
