  1. Residual values starting to dip??

    I would be wary of reading too much into We Buy Any Car values. I checked mine a few months back on my other car and the value dipped when I frequently checked it. Don’t know if the algorithm is programmed that way to try to influence you to sell. When I left it alone for a few weeks it...
  2. Range ~ Any tips to increase range?

    I find the eco-air con setting is perfectly adequate (and is selectable even if not in range mode) which saves you a couple of percent. The range shown on the app seems to be based on the normal mode setting - if you flip it to range mode when you get in the car the predicted range will shoot up...
  3. Confused by low DC charge at public charger

    Was about 45% SOC so vaguely in the sweet spot for a decent speed. Think I must have just been unlucky with a throttled charger as Winge said or power was being shared.
  4. Confused by low DC charge at public charger

    Battery was actually 20C not 20F. Not quite optimum but I thought close enough not to explain a big difference in charging rate
  5. Confused by low DC charge at public charger

    thanks, that’s really helpful. I hadn’t appreciated the throttling possibility - suspect that is it ??
  6. Confused by low DC charge at public charger

    I’m new to EVs and have only done a handful of fast charges so far - yesterday despite the charger claiming to be 120kw (Gridserve) I only got charge at about 40kw speed. I have the on board DC charger and performance battery plus. It was cold outside but the battery was at 20 degrees when I...
  7. New here and about to order...

    good choices James. I have similar spec and really pleased with it. The black trim and inlays really make it in my view (and the pano roof). Electric port cover is more of a gimmick but I would spec it again. I agonised over Bose but didn’t go for it. The basic media sound is ok but not...
  8. CT4S finally here!

    Yes. Really pleased with both. I liked look of the 21” wheels but wanted to squeeze out a bit more range and the 21s cost a lot more so decided to gamble on these and glad I did.
  9. What are your top 3 Taycan 4S performance options in order and why?

    Rear axle steering first for me. Turning circle improvement is very noticeable which makes parking a big car much easier. PDCC really good for flatter cornering - also noticeable. Not sure I really notice the PTV in normal driving but it was bundled with the PDCC when I bought my CT4S so had no...
  10. CT4S finally here!

    Picked up my CT4S today and really chuffed. Porsche Reading did great job of making the handover both special and Covid safe. White seems like a very cautious choice these days with all the other amazing colours available but I think it looks great with all the black trim. I blew most of the...
  11. Shipping ports

    Emden in Germany. Usually to Sheerness I think. Then a port inspection before on to dealer for prepping. You have a chance to get it before Christmas but will be tight ??
  12. UK Delivery - December slips.

    pretty much same story for me - ordered on CT launch day. Expected before Christmas but have been put back five or six times already so not holding my breath.
  13. UK Taycan 4S Cross Turismo

    Your deposit should be refundable so I don’t think you have much to lose. Put an order in. If you get fed up of waiting and see something better in the meantime (I doubt you will ?) you switch or go for a nearly new but that will likely cost pretty much list price given resale values are nuts
  14. CT width - is it a problem?

    I’ve got a CT4S on order but only just in build. I popped into a Porsche dealer today as they had one with a very similar spec to mine on display. Looked amazing but from the front it looked incredibly wide! Maybe an illusion because it’s such a low car (and the spec dimensions say it’s no wider...
  15. Black Cross Turismo 4S collected

    Looks amazing. Congrats. Out of interest when did you order and which dealer?
  16. Are my reliability worries misplaced?

    I’ve got a CT4S on order and can’t wait but as someone new to Porsche, new to EVs and relatively new to this forum the overwhelming sense you get looking down the list of Taycan thread topics is how many reliability issues are being reported, mostly software related. It does concern me a bit...
  17. In my local dealership CT4s

    Hard to tell if it’s chalk, ice grey or white but think it looks really good. White was/is so popular on the saloon I think it’s put a lot of CT buyers off but I like it (and have ordered that myself but with the other 20 inch wheels). Didn’t think of contrasting door handles - they look good...
  18. Taycan 4s UK delivery expectations 2021...

    i ordered a CT in March. Told to expect delivery in July. I wonder if they are prioritising CT over the summer at the expense of fewer 4S build slots? Dealer told me the chip shortage was affecting Macans but not Taycans (yet!).
  19. First look at a Cross Turismo in the UK

    Saw a CT in the flesh yesterday at Porsche Reading. Top Gear had borrowed it for the week but it just about looked intact ?. Looked amazing - everyone who has orders placed won’t be disappointed...
  20. Cross Turismo Roof Bars

    Does anyone know if Porsche are selling roof bars for CTs in the UK? I’ve specc’d mine with roof rails so I can put a box on the roof for holidays etc but the configurator doesn’t have bars as an option. The Porsche Tequipment site has bars for the standard Taycan but not the CT. Bit odd as the...
