  1. Driving in Europe

    We have our second home in southern Bavaria. I live mainly in Finland. I have driven many times from Finland (boat to Stockholm) to Germany and also visit Austria regularly. Been to Italy, too. I mainly charge only on Ionitys, as they are way cheaper. Very rarely have I had a problem on Ionity...
  2. New Taycan owner - IONITY charging

    Apart from home charging I basically have only used Ionity. Now we also have a good network of Ionity chargers in Finland. I think using the RFID card is super easy. It always works. Have driven many times from Stockholm to Austria so quite familiar with Ionity. Great chargers and great price...
  3. Taycan ranked best EV you can buy in UK

    Dont know about extremely rare. At our second home in the Alps I get regularly 500km. It's a strange thing this in the mountains. The regen is so good that I get more range when driving up and down than on the flat. Sounds crazy but its been proved many times. In Finland in the summer the range...
  4. Panamera GTS v. Taycan GTS

    Have to disagree. I have driven every M-car apart from rare models and the F10 is the worst M-car I have driven. The F90 M5 only slightly behind. Very soft suspension and lacking every sharpness in steering. The DCT is nice though. F90:s worst part is the transmission. The 8-speed torque...
  5. Buying used Taycan. Options to avoid

    It's hard to say what to avoid. Maybe I would not take the Sport Sound anymore. I never use it. Must havs for me: -PB+ -panoroof -Sport chrono -Bose -leather -14 way seats (like them way more than the 18:s) I guess here in Finland heat pump is good, too. But it's hard to compare/ to know if it...
  6. Lucid vs Taycan

    This I dont understand at all. I have driven my Taycan 4S several times from Stockholm to Bavaria/ Tirol and never have had any problems. The time for the 1800 km is max 1 hour more than in my earlier car 2016 M3. The Ionity infrastructure is fantastic already now and it's building more and more...
  7. UK Finance (interest rates)

    You have crazy interest rates. At our porsche dealer in Espoo we get 4,95. I thought of changing my 4s to gts but as I have 1,95% on my car, the 4,95 is just too high. I just bought 2 years extra warranty for my 4S, so I will keep it for some longer time for sure.
  8. Heating Failure

    Add one to November. I was 4 weeks without heating in Southern Finland but learned to drive my Taycan still. Long underpants, beanie and warm gloves. Air condition at zero and when windscreen started to frost, turned Range mode on (with eco+) for a short while. Luckily we didn't have...
  9. BMW i5 as an Estate too

    The M5CS is easily one the best looking sedans you can find. It looked even better live than in pictures.
  10. BMW i7

    I dont like the i7 either but have to say, to my eyes all Merc EV:s look much worse. They look so fat and round, horrible designs. The i4 looks very decent when you see it live and the new iX1 is a nice design. I have yet to see a nice looking Merc EV.
  11. Panamera E-hybrid vs Taycan driving dynamics

    My brother in law has a Panamera E-hybrid 2018 and I really like his car. Its responsive and turns very well for a big car. There is quite a difference to the Taycan though, which we both agreed on. I have a 4S with PB+, no RWS but otherwise nicely specced. It feels smaller and more agile than...
  12. Why I Dumped Carplay

    yes I can but its not on the PCM screen, which is what I want.
  13. Why I Dumped Carplay

    At least until now since the software update CarPlay works every time immediately if I contact my phone via cable. I dont use wireless charging anyway, as it heats up the phone ridiculously. In Finland Waze is irreplaceable. It show all traffic cameras and polices and also traffic jams and...
  14. Brake pad wear

    I dont think that wear is possible with such low kilometres. I just picked my car up yesterday from the 30 000 km service (also software update was installed) and they said brake pads were in very good shape. I definitely do not drive slow and also have been driving 2 summers in the Alps for a...
  15. It breaks my heart a little…

    My friend has a G63 and I have sat in it many times. I personally prefer Taycans ride. I do agree on getting in and out of the car is not so easy as in many others. Especially if your older person not in shape. I am 63y and no problems whatsoever. The 14way seats I have are fantastic. They look...
  16. Winter daily?

    I live in Southern Finland and last winter was a snow chaos. No problems whatsoever. As Panamera Frank said, using dedicated winter tyres is the most important thing. I have two sets of Turbo 20" rims (got the other set really cheap) and store the the rims and tyres at a shop who also changes...
  17. Leather quality

    I have extended black leather in my Taycan 4S and now have driven 20k km after exactly one year of ownership. Steering wheel is still ok but the outer side bolsters on both front seats show too much wear for this mileage and quality car. As Silveral, I love my Taycan but the quality of leather...
  18. Mustang Mach e GT (v Taycan RWD)

    Mustang interior better built quality? Hard / impossible to believe. In 40 years of car ownerships I have never had a car with the Taycan interior built quality. Mostly BMW:s. Zero rattles in the Taycan, no sounds, nothing. Only minus is the leather wear on the left seat side bolster. Software...
  19. 4S vs GT-R

    If you mean a G82 Comp, I am sorry I don't believe you. Even the rwd version has done 11.6 1/4 mile times. F80 yes my 4S is faster but not faster than the G80 Comp at least not in the rolling race. The awd G80 will beat a 4S easily in the 1/4 mile. Those engines are monsters.
  20. Two irritation points after a year of ownership…

    I don't understand this map problem. I always use only satellite view and I think its very clear and great colors. Navigation is very easy. I have a 2021 4S so don't know if it makes any difference. In the Alps the Satellite View looked fantastic with some green lakes and snowy mountains at the...
