When I first got my Taycan in 2021 most people were positive or neutral about ev's. Now I find most ICE drivers are negative and all come out with the same old arguments that they have 'heard about'. No experience mind you - just what they have heard / read. Even people who have no interest in...

Just read an interesting article in the FT on the subject of public charging. https://www.ft.com/content/70449749-c54f-4a37-8033-efd567d868e6 It surprisingly states the UK as mid table for public chargers. I think the main issue (not stated) is that something like 1/3 are in London, with the...

Just wondering how often the MyPorsche widget updates if you don't prod it? Interested as my charging timers seem to have gone a bit bonkers of late (separate thread). But in the meantime, I'm sure my widget used to update quite frequently - and now it only updates if I touch it. Checked app...

Had the car 2+ years with the same Timer/Profile settings and the same EVSE (set to dumb charge). My cheap rate electricity is 00:30-04:30. So settings have been set to this with a target charge of 85%. Using a 7.4kw EVSE. Lately I have been getting the 'charging not reached' message on my...

I saw an article about Chinese car manufacturing and how they are completely dominating their home market. And EVs are the mainstream choice. The only importer of any significance is Tesla. But they are now turning their sights on exports (I'm not going to comment on the...

There was a very intersting article in the FT suggesting that by 2030, 10% of EVs will already be using solid state batteries. That timescale suggests things are about to start to change very soon. https://www.ft.com/content/dcfaeb86-0de1-4d94-a98d-e02dfde95c81 It looks like some major...

I was just thinking that we have had lots of threads over time, with pics from the car or app showing all manner of things; Fast charges / Slow charges Longest range / shortest range Most expensive charge..... Battery temperatures ...ambien temperature... speed ...acceleration ....mileage...

I am just wondering if some of the options have increased in price (or whether it's user error)?? I inputted my car config last month (out of curiosity) when prices went up and just did it again now on the new site and it came out about £1200 more. It may well be user error though, as I just...

I can't believe how bad BMW have got some things recently, but this is a new low. And according to the reviews, it's as bad as it looks. https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-driven/2023-bmw-xm--ph-review/46966 Come on BMW. We used to love your cars.

Apologies if this is a repost. I couldn't see it anywhere. https://cardealermagazine.co.uk/publish/porsche-named-uks-least-reliable-car-brand-in-list-dominated-by-premium-marques/276009 That said it is for used cars over the last 2 year (out of manufacturers warranty?) so there shouldnt be...

I am just wondering how everyone is using Android Auto after the uPdate? I was mostly happy with the Porsche Nav and don't use my phone as a music source. I use Internet radio and USB. I also mostly wait till I'm not driving to respond to calls / messages etc. So I am just wondering what...

I love my Taycan, but (like all EV's) I wish it was lighter. Mines a RWD which is obviously the lightest, but it just got me thinking how much the various options weigh? PB+ is an obvious one, but then I got thinking about things like pano roof. And 22kw and 150kw on board charger options. Are...

Due to the Taycan / Bose thread receiving lots of posts on audio in general, I have set up this thread for audio/hi-fi/sound system discussion, Taycan and non Taycan related. Fill your boots.....

Has anyone got a subscription for the Telegraph? I think this article may be of interest to many on here, but I don't subscribe. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/07/18/germany-without-russian-gas-will-forced-put-breaks-electric/

With the weather warming up, today was the first time this year that I needed to turn the aircon on to cool the car down. It was only about a week ago, I was using the heater to defrost the car. Angway, it Just got me wondering which uses the most energy (battery) cooling when it's hot, or...

So what happens with the front air vents when we are driving.....and what does it achieve? I don't think I have seen this mentioned anywhere on here previously. ?

Marvin was a visionary imo. 51 years on and this seem more relevant than ever. Just in case anyone doesnt know the song, or not taken any notice of the lyrics....

Interesting article here saying that the cost of commodities used in EV batteries has more than doubled since the start of the year. https://www.cityam.com/commodities-boom-causes-ev-battery-costs-to-more-than-double/ I wonder whether we will be seeing a more substantial price increase for...

I was reading an article just now comparing a BMW i4 / Polestar 2 / Tesla M3 (BMW won btw) and was looking in the tech comparison at the end. https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/bmw/i4/357296/bmw-i4-vs-polestar-2-vs-tesla-model-3-2022-group-test-review I was surprised to see how little reserve is...
