I have had crayon / Black in my Trubo for almost 5 years and its still like new - do get blue denim stain on it but it cleans off with leather cleaner car has done 17K - Its going now ending my time with the Taycan been almost faultless - want to buy it make an offer ! Only thing Ive notice on...
It's not about your Solar panel Array size its about your inverter. All your Solar power generation goes through you Inverter ( coverts the Solar DC to AC ) and then into your house - or feed back to the energy supplier.
Your home charging point draws 7KW AC on average to charge your car...
I had mine MOT'ed about a month ago. No issues with the suspension just as it is.
I've had one tyre changed about 3 months ago - blister in the side wall front nearside due to pot hole - I was advised on the MOT that all the other tyres are wearing on the inside shoulder - other front is...
I recently reinsured with Admiral who Ive been with since I purchased the car 3 years ago and the premium had gone up considerably - I called then and had a long discussion changed a few things - named driver off ( saved £165 ) Got around to discussing the insured value of the car and it still...
UPDATE 10TH JANUARY
Well 3 weeks plus in now and still no new heater unit from Porsche !! I thought the idea of buying a car was to have it available to use at my discretion not have it sitting in a dealership waiting to be repaired. The dealership can offer no indication as to when I might...
Unit availability seems to still be a problem. Spoke to the garage between Christmas and New Year and a new unit was on order but the holidays certainly didn't help ! Its a 6 hr job apparently, so I will be lucky to have the car back this week. but they are covering the cost of the Enterprise...
They seem very helpful - worth a call for sure - they supply a car for up to 5 days initially. What happens if your car is not repaired in that time - don't know yet, but it is still Porsche's problem and I expect I will find out !
Well I hope you have better luck with your local Porsche dealer - I've played the Porsche Assist card and had the car collected Saturday as unfit to drive - which it looks like you have found is also the case. I have to say that Porsche Assist could not have been more helpful with calls back...
Yes it was somewhat disconcerting when the dealership told me it was a known problem !
The fact that I can't get it looked at until the 10th January and there are no loan cars available is also very poor support. It is becoming dangerous to use with the screen misting up and no way of clearing...
The heating in my Taycan Turbo 2020 has stopped working. The remote function in the app says its heating / cooling but its not and when driving the car there is only cold air coming from the vents. I took it to may Local Porsche dealer and they tell me its a know problem with the high voltage...
Hey Bill - I've got another wheel company to look at the repair - ever hopeful someone will step up and give it a go. WRT rapid charge points in the Bournemouth area - nothing above 50KWh is the answer. The new Porsche facility in Ferndown is meant to be getting 6 points but I think they will...
A word of warning - don't curb them. I have Taycan Exclusive Porsche Design 21 inch in gloss black - a common option as you will know. I clipped the curb side in a momentary lapse of concentration ( messing with the onboard displays after a service update that changed everything ) not bad, quite...
Seems this SW upgrade implementation is a mess. it took me a month to get the car booked in to my local Dealer and today - 2 days before it was due, I get a call to postpone it until the 24th May because they are having big problems with every one that they have attempted so far.
Have Porsche...
Well I have installed a dash cam in my Taycan so I can advise on an ACC connection if you want to do it, but its on fuse panel in the right hand ( drivers ) foot well. I went for the power resources on that side since that's where the - get you out of trouble, open the bonnet when the battery is...
I have had the 12 volt flat battery problem but ....
It was parked in the garage and was not on charge and had not been used for a couple of days. The 12 volt battery is quite small - compared with an ICE car - it is not required to start an engine after all. I had Garmin Dash camera connected...
Hi Rob
No it charges on a timed charge - by which I mean ready to go by a specific time and optimised charging schedule is used in conjunction with that - the timer and the charging profile work hand in hand. Optimised takes it to 85% of full charge for a couple of reasons
Firstly - that's the...
Hi Graham - Thanks for your thoughts, you are way ahead of the game having owned Teslas for quite a while. I would agree you have far more charging stations in on your side of the south coast. Its not so much the local options but the lack of super fast chargers - like Ionity around the country...
Seems to me is what 'we' need here in the UK is a Porsche Taycan representative expert - like the US one on the site but understands what is and is not available - or will be available, on UK cars because the options and availably seem to be very different in various regions world wide. Come on...
Appreciate that feedback. Living down on the south coast my options are limited - i think my nearest Ionity is 100 miles away. Its a bit frustrating to think that the world wants to adopt cleaner energy but the ability to do that is restricted by availably and the need to factor in a possible...
