    Solar, Heat Pumps, Home Battery Storage - How far have you or would you go?

    Ok, they say a picture tells a thousand words… This was my electric use on Saturday. My annual electricity usage is around 30,000 kWH per year - around £10,000 at current UK energy prices. Ridiculous, I know! In addition, we have gas central heating / water, which also does cooking and heats a...

    Rocketing Insurance for Electric Cars

    Has anyone seen their insurance renewal costs rocket? I renewed in August and whilst it did go up, nothing like these people have seen. The quotes were £5,000 or more’: electric vehicle owners face soaring insurance costs

    Do we get free / included Spotify Premium?

    Since having the update, the My Porsche website is showing “Spotify Premium Contract term: to 2 Aug 2024” (the same expiration date for all my services). I know you can use Spotify Premium after having the new update, but my question is do we receive some sort of trial/free service? I’m...

    Insurance renewal with Admiral almost doubled to over £1500!

    My car has my and my misses on (both wrong side of 40, full clean licences, with no endorsements). With 15 years no claims, our quote for renewal has rocketed from £828 to over £1500! Anyone else seeing high renewals? What sort of quotes are you getting?

    Factory Options + UK Insurance

    My RWD is heavily spec’d (£30k of options). It has the sports design kit, Mission E wheels, etc. When getting quotes, do you answer ‘yes’ when it asks about added options? When getting quotes last year some insurers declined to quote based on the options ticked, even though factory fitted...

    Apple Music: via PCM vs. CarPlay - what are the pros and cons?

    I currently use Apple Music via CarPlay and when it works it’s great, but CarPlay can be hit and miss as to whether or not it decides to connect. Are there any benefits to login into Apple Music via the PCM and using it this way instead? Do you need to purchase the overpriced (in the UK) data...

    Where do you guys get your tyres?

    I went to three branches of my usual tyre guys (Setyers) and they said they didn’t have the ramps or jacks to lift my car! I have a slow puncture and they have suggested I take it back to the main dealer. Has anyone had a tyre repaired or replaced at anywhere like Kwik Fit, or anywhere other...

    Free Power Steering Plus?

    Here’s a strange one. In the UK MY21 didn’t come with Power Steering Plus - at least the RWD model didn’t. After reading a few good reports on here I decided I would buy it as a Function on Demand Over The Air upgrade. However, after it said it was activated I couldn’t find any difference...

    My car lost/reduced power several times today

    Today, soon after heading out, I was driving onto a 60 MPH limit road, building from around 30 MPH. When I put my foot down virtually nothing happened. The car sort of just stuttered - up to 40 ish, back down to 35 and so it went on. Even flooring it, it was as if a big rubber band was pulling...

    Try Power Steering Plus with F.O.D.

    I’m sure I read that you could try a Function on Demand feature prior to purchasing. I want to try Power Steering Plus but their is only an option to purchase it outright on the Porsche Connect Store. ideally I would like to try it first to see what difference it makes. Is there a trial or...

    I wish I had had an extended test drive!

    Our dealer has kindly lent us a T4S whilst our 911 is in for work. We also have a RWD Taycan on order. Man do I wish we were given an extended test drive! We had 20 minutes or so in a T4S several months before we ordered our car, but nothing beats a week in a car. What I have learned: I LOVE...

    Functions on Demand on 911

    Does anyone know if Lane Change Assist or Lane Keep Assist can be added to a 911 (992) at a later date? I can’t find any information on Functions on Demand applying to any other model other than the Taycan, so wanted to check.

    UK: When did you order and when did (or will) your car arrive?

    I ordered my RWD 18/3, but changed colour on 31/3. Original delivery was set for the end of this month, but the car hasn’t been built yet! For those of you waiting for your car, or have had it recently delivered, when did you place your order? I did go a bit crazy with £25k of options, so...
