    Route Planning .. Newbie.

    From my last trip to Cornwall, I’d recommend IONITY at J28 of the M5 (Cullompton). I’ve always found IONITY very good so tend to try and plan around them anyway, there are a few others on your route.

    Will older models get the new push to pass upgrade?

    If any of those are at full tilt and you’re trying to pass them then I guess you’re either on a race track or being followed by flashing blue lights 🤣

    Battery Issue

    No it can’t be moved if the 12v battery is flat - you can’t even open it by pressing the button on the key fob! My 12v battery went flat when I was away for just 3 weeks, thankfully it hasn’t happened again: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/theft-alarm-low-12v-battery.14264/

    Car charging on a heating (only) timer

    … and that seems to have fixed it, thanks again! I don’t really follow why it was charging the car when the charging option on the timer was disabled, but hey - it works 😊

    Car charging on a heating (only) timer

    Ah thanks, checking that I see that the general profile is disabled - I think that may have happened in messing about (unsuccessfully) trying to get Intelligent Octopus to work properly … My general profile has a minimum charge of 25%, but I do have a preferred charging period which I think I...

    Car charging on a heating (only) timer

    There seems to be a consistent bug when setting timers to heat the car with the charging option disabled - it still charges. This has happened a few times and thinking it was user error I took screenshots to confirm. The first image shows what I configured in the app, the second shows what the...

    Porsche High Wycombe

    I’ve had no experience with them, but I’d expect them to be at least on a par with other approved centres - I’m sure everyone will have their own opinion on whether or not that’s a good thing! They already have Porsche Centres in Chester and Exeter, but the group also covers other prestige...

    The centre will be opening in ‘Winter 2023’ and you can register to be kept up to date: https://www.rybrook.co.uk/porsche/porsche-high-wycombe-register/ There’s a free MOT voucher if you register before 31st October, so I hope they get a move on as mine’s coming up soon!

    Octopus energy now supports Porsche for intelligent tariff.

    I’ve given up on Octopus controlling the charging - their support team reckoned that the car was being triggered to charge by ‘something else’, although in the Porsche app I had disabled the profile, removed the timers and double-checked that my Ohme EVSE had nothing configured (and I shared...

    About to go away for 9 months… what’s the best % to leave the car in charge?

    You might want to take a look at this thread as it includes some info from a Porsche bulletin on car storage: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/leave-car-for-2-months.6747/ A charger for the 12V battery is a good idea - I was only away for 3 weeks at the start of the year and that...

    UK Car: Functions on Demand

    I tried PSP using FOD, preferred the car without it and cancelled (back in December). You have to cancel by sending an email to [email protected] - I think the details were in the T&Cs when signing up for it. It took a few weeks for PSP to be removed, whereas activating was straight...

    Porsche High Wycombe

    I wish it had been there for my first 2 years of ownership as it was tedious driving to Reading for yet another software update or recall. Thankfully Porsche seem to have done all of the heavy lifting now on the software and it’s all settled down - despite that I’ve never regretted choosing the...

    Very pleased to come across this the other day as it’ll be so much more convenient 😊 It’s part of a development by Rybrook along with a new Bentley dealership which has already opened, so shouldn’t be too long to wait. https://www.rybrook.co.uk/porsche/dealers/high-wycombe/

    Octopus energy now supports Porsche for intelligent tariff.

    Intelligent Octopus worked fine for me after switching at the weekend, but then last night it charged the vehicle to 100% despite the 80% charge limit I had set in the Octopus app. I’m pretty sure this was because the car was already at 80% charge as I didn’t use it yesterday. I’ve emailed...

    Octopus energy now supports Porsche for intelligent tariff.

    Yes that‘s my understanding too. What I’d noticed is that Octopus controls charging by setting timers via the communications with Porsche. Not that surprising I guess and if you look in the Porsche app you can see what it has set - for example, this evening after I plugged the car in it...
