    Delivery delays - Unbelievable and the right thing to do

    https://www.ft.com/content/ab63cc9b-1c57-43d0-89c2-8f63e5c06eba Thousands of Porsche, Bentley, and Audit imports held up at US ports after components within cars found to be originating from "Western China", prohibited under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act of 2021.

    Not helpful!

    I read today the Hertz dumped 20,000 Tesla's (I'm ok with that) and cancelled an order for 62,000 (yes) Polestars over 5 years. They had already taken delivery of 13,000 but have agreed with Polestar that they won't sell them for a year to avoid a cataclysmic fall in value in 2nd hand market...

    Do we skip the Macan EV and wait for the Cayenne EV?

    https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/porsche/cayenne/362076/new-2025-porsche-cayenne-ev-spied-first-time Q8 e-tron offers up to 114 kwH battery (gross, 106 kWh net) -so we can potentially assume that if the Macan EV can't quite manage that then the Cayenne EV surely will.

    RIP Panamera Sport Turismo

    It took a while but now Porsche have realised that they have no market big enough to support 2 Sport Turismo variants across 2 model ranges. Until today I had guessed that the Panamera would be retired gracefully as the overlap between the Taycan range as it is today and the Panamera is too...

    'Hey Porsche', can you really be this bad?

    It may just be me but native voice activation in my GTS ST is simply 'pants'! My previous 4S worked to an extent but never 'on it' but now I have an irrelevant piece of tech in my shiny new motor. I have never come across a piece of tech which is so poorly implemented and unreliable - it can't...

    Let’s talk about depreciation (UK)!

    A perfect storm - pandemic, semi-conductor shortages and supply chain issues due to various conflicts - now it really starts to drive home when we look at the not insignificant depreciation heading our way (and for some already arrived). EVs seem to be experiencing a ‘kicking’ in the market not...

    Heated seat belts -- next big thing in EV efficiency or an early April Fool's?

    Stumbled upon this today (may be old news) but potentially presents a novel way to help improve efficiency during colder temperatures: https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/359453/are-heated-seat-belts-next-big-thing-electric-cars Personally, I can see such a solution adding to the battery drain...

    S-H-O-C-K-E-R-O-O-N-E-Y - Wheel Alignment Cost & Time Taken!

    I'm curious to know if anyone has had their wheels realigned following a routine service / inspection and at what cost? My car is in the shop today for it's first 2 year service (17.7K miles). I've been advised that the wheels need alignment but I have not noticed anything untoward to suggest...

    Spotted: Macan EVs break cover in Edinburgh!

    Apologies for the non Taycan specific post although there was a TCTTS amongst it BUT I just saw 2 new Macan EVs in light camouflage, a Lamborghini URUS (in full camo), a Panamera Gen 3 in partial camouflage, a 911(.3?) in camouflage (with a High Voltage warning attached to the car cover draped...

    Update to software network VR19.0.1. Campaign number WNJ8 (UK)

    Thought I'd start a separate thread for the much anticipated PCM update (coloured icons and all that jazz). Just got my recall notification an hour ago. Will get this done along with my first service upon return from 'sunny' Ireland next month.

    Non-Tesla EV Supercharger Network Availability Map

    Not sure if folk have seen this but the following is a live map of Tesla Superchargers which are open for business for non-Tesla EVs. After moaning above a solitary Supercharger in Aviemore (Scotland) another one has appeared in Dundee since so all positive really (not used one yet)...

    PCM Maps (UK) - Chargers galore!

    One of my biggest moans since Nov'20 has been the abject absence of many 50kW+ EVSEs near me which are configured within the Charging Planner. Today with some surprise they have all started to appear - battery pre-conditioning is now a real prospect should I need it. Joined up thinking is of...

    UK 2022 Recalls - How Many Are you Aware of?

    I suspect most of us (current owners) are aware of at least 1 current 2022 safety recall (WNA5 - DME Reprogramming) but there is another. I'm not sure if I'm just unlucky but I regularly check the main Porsche website recall checker (by VIN) and as of today no recalls are outstanding for my...

    Sport Turismos for all - which one would you pick (4S, GTS or Turbo)?

    I guess we all knew that in time Porsche would muddy and at the same time dilute the waters and roll out the Sport Turismo (ST) body style across the range shortly after the launch of the GTS ST. From the start of my Taycan adventure I always wished and hoped for an ST body to replace my...
