Or how about being charged a lot for a 'full service' when all they do is change the brake fluid and poke round it with a stick for 5 minutes.
Oh wait a minute....
😆
We can do even better than that..........
Don't power our efficient EVs with electricity from renewable sources.
Let's use 'beautiful clean coal' instead!
Then we can really feel like its the 1950s (apart from the heatwaves, floods and forest fires)
It has been shared on here previously many years ago.
The explanation from the owner is also well documented.
The anti EV brigade were not slow in saying the car did it itself at the time.... and it was therefore widely circulated on social media with that false narrative.
Having read the Top Gear article, I've converted from thinking it is totally useless to possibly very useful.
I didn't know it added some vibration as well.
In fact, every article I've read is positive about it.
Surprisingly Top Gear magazine love it and are converted.
But interestingly they say, rather than just a gimmick, it has real world advantages:
So it's not just the physical aspect of improving car control. It's psychological – and that's just as important. It improves your perception of...
I am pretty sure if they damage it, they won't point it out and show you that it wasn't there when it came in to the dealership using the scan.
I bet they hope you dont see it - and if you notice it some time later, they will pull the scan out and say it wasn't damaged when it was here.
My mechanical ones used to freeze open every time we had a frost and I had charged the car with the port door open.
Dealers refused to look at it unless I brought it in like that (by which time I had to drive 50 miles and it defrosted and worked).
Another part of my Taycan 5hitshow experience...
Request a video of the underside before you commit and look very carefully for any damage.
Even a small area of damage can be a disaster in the wrong place.
You wont want to read all 62 pages, but the first few should give you an idea why its so important.
Check for damage

Uk fca regulated mechanical breakdown insurers list?
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) does not publish a singular, isolated list explicitly titled "Mechanical Breakdown Insurers." Instead, firms that underwrite or administer mechanical breakdown insurance...
I don't know the answer sorry.
But any company who is regulated should state it via most communication channels.
Eg We have to have it on websites / emails etc.
The other option is to search the FCA register.
And much as the FCA miss the plot with a lot of their burdensome red tape, Consumer...
Coal is where its at for you.
Its the future!
It is both beautiful and clean apparently.
I must ask the wife to change all the Acqua di Parma soap in the house for a lump of coal, as we must be wasting a fortune.
😆
For me it was the UK dealer experience that forced me to sell.
Having the car constantly need repairing is one thing. Having dealers just shrug their shoulders and say they can't even look at the car for 2-3 months is another. I tried 4 different ones and they really didnt seem in the slightest...
The problem is the pricing for Connect is premium pricing, but due to depreciation on the Taycan (mostly due to faults and the cars bad reliability reputation) they are no longer expensive cars once 3+ years old.
Taking a bath on the depreciation is one thing. Having Porsche rub your face in it...
Interesting angle to this......
After reading the initial post I wondered whether Warrantywise are FCA regulated or not?
Your experience has a lot of red flags under 'Consumer Duty' legislation (my world).
unfortunately they are not FCA registered.
But some additional info from AI that appears...
A great personalisation option for anyone with a Porsche Taycan.
Or any woman named Yvette Christina Nordleberger who works on the till at the supermarket.
Taycan owners are probably the bigger market.
