    Battery died at 14,000 Miles

    Hi Christina, I had exactly the same experience at about 12k miles. The local Norwich Porsche dealership were quite condescending when i had a few episodes of the car not starting- telling me to wait for a bit and then try starting it again (this worked twice). Told me that there was nothing...

    Real Range of Taycan

    Yes I would agree with this too Frank. I had a particularly difficult drive home from Stansted to Norwich on a foggy, icy evening. Needed several stops to charge up. Was quite unsettled with just how quickly the battery was running down.

    Real Range of Taycan

    Have had my 4S for 4 years, 20” wheels. In the warm weather 220-240 miles on a full charge. I was really disappointed during a particularly cold snap last year to find I was only getting a maximum of 160 miles when icy outside.

    A Taycan or an BMW I5 M60- what would you do?

    I have too. Driven BMWs for maybe 15yrs, mostly 6s, occasionally a 5 or 7. This has been my first porsche. Will it be the second is the question.

    What battery level you guys recommend charging and up to what max level ?

    Have had mine for 3yrs and tend to charge to 85% for normal driving around, but will fully charge if planning a long journey.

    A Taycan or an BMW I5 M60- what would you do?

    This is my concern about EV reliability of Lotus as I had all the bumpiness at the start with the 4S in Dec2020

    A Taycan or an BMW I5 M60- what would you do?

    I know. I am trying to be openminded (I am not really open minded about this). Thanks for sending me this, it has made me laugh. The battery episode was a disgrace and Porsche really let themselves down imho telling me there was nothing wrong, just turn it off, let it sit for a while and then...

    A Taycan or an BMW I5 M60- what would you do?

    The look of the car is important to me, the lines of the Taycan are beautiful. Aesthetically it appeals more than any other car I’ve owned. I enjoy the drive, the instant power, and the quiet. All of it. I have enjoyed driving it immensely.

    A Taycan or an BMW I5 M60- what would you do?

    If I get another, it will be red, dolmite silver or white. Having a look and may be timely for one coming into a dealership in East of England soon. Have never had a day driving this one where I have wished for a colour other than red.

    A Taycan or an BMW I5 M60- what would you do?

    Think I already know the answer. And it is the same again.

    A Taycan or an BMW I5 M60- what would you do?

    If I am completely honest, I love the instant power of the Taycan and the lack of noise. When it has gone in for services / recalls they have given me other non electric models which I haven’t enjoyed (not a 911 though). The Taycan is my first Porsche.

    A Taycan or an BMW I5 M60- what would you do?

    Before I had my 4S, I drove BMWs for about 15yrs- mostly 6s, had a 5 and a 7 too. Hence having a look.

    A Taycan or an BMW I5 M60- what would you do?

    Hi Ian, Yes it has been better since the battery was replaced. Stayed of the forum as was unwell for a bit, better now. Still love my red 4S. Would it be wrong to get another almost exactly the same colour?

    A Taycan or an BMW I5 M60- what would you do?

    I think I already know the answer, which is another Taycan. We had some teething issues with the Taycan when we got it, that first year seemed troubled with minor things until the battery died. The Lotus Emira or electre and the Polestar 5 as they are so new, make me somewhat wary of having a...

    A Taycan or an BMW I5 M60- what would you do?

    Not sure that I try like the outside if them either. Don’t want an ipace or tesla. Trying to be balanced and look at some other cars.

    A Taycan or an BMW I5 M60- what would you do?

    My Carmine Red 4S lease ends in December. I got her in Dec 2020, and she has 33k miles on the clock. Had the battery replaced in Oct 21, having had repeated episodes if battery failure that was not accepted as true by the local dealership until it died a death amd needed towed. Other than that I...
