I was watching this and paused the used prices on AutoTrader: Interesting thought on going up a level if the right car / deal is out there.

My PCP contract ends this July.

Bumping this old thread. I enjoy my Taycan RWD MY21, but given the high depreciation on the car, should I pay the balloon payment on the PCP (company car, tax benefits), or give back the keys to the finance company? The residual is £45k, so is the balloon payment worth it, and can I negotiate...

When I first got my Taycan and first used Ionity, I got a couple of free charges. Usually the transaction comes up in a few hours (maybe sooner or immediately) in the My Porsche app, with the bill coming up on a monthly cycle.

Every so often you need to reset the iPhone / CarPlay connection - don’t know why. Steps: Delete the iPhone device connection from the PCM (swipe right on the device to reveal the delete action) Forget the car in CarPlay on the iPhone Once that’s done, the connect the iPhone using USB and...

The heating in my car failed a few weeks ago, but at least Porsche are being proactive now to get in touch with customers.

Got an email from a UK Porsche Centre, that Porsche Germany need to install a new heater in my car, as recent readings from the car suggest the passenger compartment heater will fail. Interesting that Porsche can analyse the fault from readings but the analysis during the service didn’t reveal...

Checked the preheat option in the PCM: it’s OFF and “function is not available” 😥

Thanks, I’ll give this a whirl.

Ah, maybe it’s packed up as I’m sitting in the cold. Thanks

In the summer during the first service, I asked Porsche to check my heater as it wasn’t blowing hot air. They said the heater was fine, but wasn’t blowing hot air because Eco was enabled. A few weeks ago, I was driving and charging up at Cobham Ionity, the heater was working fine in Eco mode...

The contrast accent looks dope, otherwise there’s just too much FBM.

Just remember that if you haven’t driven your Taycan for 24 hours, the brake regen will be disabled to allow cleaning of the brake disc, so braking will use the discs and feel mushy for a mile or so before the regen braking becomes available.

Just need to push the connector in and hold for a moment for the click / engagement to take place.

I had to fix a similar issue by removing the device (car) and adding it again through the Octopus app. You will need to sign into your My Porsche account again to connect the Taycan during the process. Yeah, don’t pay attention to the ENodes, and just let the app do its thing.

Totally possible (in the summer months). RWD with PB+ and 21” wheels.

I have the larger PB+ battery, with 21-inch Exclusive Design wheels, with Goodyear Asymmetric tyres. Summer range is between 298 to 313 miles. Some people have managed to get 4.0 miles per kW on here. British miles used to be dependent on which king’s foot was doing the measuring.

Range depends on your driving style, journey route and environment. I get 257 miles at 85% SoC in the summer, with an average 3.7 mi per kW. In the winter, that drops.

Thanks both. Manufacturing defect sounds probable. I asked because I mainly charge using AC at 7kW.

Battery SOH, extended warranty cost, and residuals are going to be factors when I have to make a decision this time next year.
