I have had the yellow warning twice now. First time a few months ago - then again today.
Luckily I contacted the dealer and made an appt the first time it happened - when there were no service spots for Taycans for months ahead. So luckily it's now booked in, in about 2 weeks time.
I have now...
Straying slightly off topic - to Taycan used prices in general.
I have been thinking why used prices have gone from sky high to rock bottom (ignoring covid related bonkers factors) since I got my car in 2021.
My (UK based) conclusion:
When I got mine, I assumed used values would hold up much...
Looking at that, I reckon people in Dubai mustn't be used to rain or understand how 'wetness' works.
When you live in the UK - we automatically become an expert on water falling out of the sky and accumulating on the ground for months on end
I bet they don't even rush out to get burnt every...
In retrospect I wouldn't have bothered with it either.
No kids and you don't really notice it in the front.
I wish I'd spent the money on brightening up the interior instead - BUT, I listened to my wife who really wanted the pano roof and a black interior. 😔
I must remember to stick my oar...
Pure speculation from me here, but I bet the market (UK) for a Porsche EV in the future will be something like 5:1 (Macan v Taycan).
Its a lot cheaper, more practical and won't have the bad rep for reliability the Taycan now has.
I won't guess on retained values, as previously I thought the...
Here is her Seastar on the right...
As per the 2 posts above, it has similarity to her Yachtmaster (lower left) but on a coloured strap.
The Rolex's are no longer really that safe for many travel destinations unfortunately.
My mate was robbed at gunpoint in Brazil for his Submariner - and...
I bought the wife a Tissot Seastar for travel. A beater watch that shouldn't get you mugged for it.
I think it's a great watch for the money.
There's a wide range of models, sizes, colours, quartz or automatic etc.
It ticked every box I wanted for her:
36mm
Quartz
Waterproof
Date
Rotating...
Funnily enough there is a similar argument ongoing on a BMW forum I visit, with regard BMW * rated tyres.
Someone posted this up (admitted it makes little sense to me) which supposedly shows the differences.
You could actually take that to mean it's company policy to recommend customers pay for something that doesnt need doing.
I can imagine doing that in my (highly regulated) job. I can just see myself telling the FCA Compliance Officer:
'yes.....clients don't need this service at all, but we do...
Out of interest OP what is the pressure reading on the car gauge / app showing now?
I have got RWD with Turbo Aero wheels and this is my current reading (Michelin PS4).
Make sure when you take your car in for its next service and you pick it up - when they ask for payment tell them:
"I am experiencing some delays and will work to resolve them as soon as possible. Please anticipate receiving a check by mail within approximately 6 weeks".
I would be concerned about this car in addition to edging to get it fixed..
1. How did the stains get there?
2. The previous owner couldn't be bothered fixing it.
3. So likely goes for upkeep of the rest of the car.
Depending on whereabouts In Cornwall you visit, the upcoming Ionity Bodmin site may be useful.

I agree - but doubt this crosses their mind.
I think the thought process is to just keep pioneering and engineering great drivers cars that cost a lot of money to buy. And people who can afford them will continue to buy the latest model frequently and maintain them at a great cost.
The...
That's the route I will be taking when mine hits 3 years in August.
I think used prices will firm up if the public start to understand EVs are not the Devils work. Especially the cheap running costs. It could be quite a rapid turnaround imo.
Something like a surge in oil price (with falling...
