  1. Newbie Home Charging Issue (UK)

    Yes valid to November 24. This is nothing to do with the Connect account which I can still see on the web (and which also think my car stopped sending data on 4th April).
  2. Newbie Home Charging Issue (UK)

    I have a Taycan 4S+ MY21 delivered Nov20. I have the original Ohme Home charger and use Intelligent Octopus for home charging. I started with the Octopus App using Enode API and had numerous problems so Octopus advised I should use the Ohme charger (Ohme and Ovo are the only two chargers...
  3. UK intelligent charging (Octopus, OVO) won't work without Porsche Connect subscription (£269/year)

    I have MY21 4S Plus delivered Nov 20. I have IO but after much discussion with Octopus following various failed/faulty charges they advised me to use my Ohme charger to link with IO as they are partnering with them. I have renewed Porsche Connect because I think that without remote operation...
  4. Taycan Range Test With New Software Update

    I have a 2020 (MY2021) Taycan 4S + which has almost reached 20000 miles and recently had the 20000 mile service. I had the software update in early August, since when on long journeys (anecdotally) I have not achieved the range that I have achieved previously and I have seen no signs of this...
  5. Backup Camera Quality to Improve?

    I had the big update done a couple of weeks ago (4S+ MY21) and posted a note on forum with the immediate observations, one of which is a huge improvement in the display from the reversing camera - colour, size, definition. Clearly it was a software issue, not the lens itself. There are also...
  6. Update to software network VR19.0.1. Campaign number WNJ8 (UK)

    I had the update on Tuesday 2nd August. The car was in Porsche Leeds for 4wd realignment and the seat wiring recall but they rang me on Monday and asked me to bring the appointment forward for a software recall as it would be a long update ("about 5 hours"). I later found out that they had only...
  7. What mileage are you getting?? I’m disappointed…

    Do you have performance battery plus? The 280 mile range is with the capacity 84kw plus. You will find range improves over time and settles down after 1000/1500 miles. I have completed 14000 miles at 3m/kwh, including 2 winters when range drops to around 235miles, in the summer increasing to...
  8. First real OTA update for the Taycan 2020 and 2021 happening April 27th…

    Reinstall Connect. This has always worked for me to set routes remotely. Click location icon, select chargers, use map to find desired one. Make it a favourite (optional) then send to car. I used this to get from Yorkshire to the Alps using the Charging Planner (modifying in the car if Planner...
  9. Good Test of ACC/ALK/Innodrive in Taycan

    I am always surprised when I read reviews of Innodrive (usually negative) and this thread seems to have a lot of misinformation so I thought I would register my enthusiasm for it to balance the debate. I bought my 4S+ with ACC, Innodrive, ALK, LKA and LCA, mainly because my 7 year old Audi S7...
  10. First real OTA update for the Taycan 2020 and 2021 happening April 27th…

    I followed the instructions in the email - as far as they made sense - and had no connectivity this morning, though that has been fairly common recently as the car is garaged and it has often struggled with signal (connectivity improved early 21 when I believe Porsche upgraded the server but...
  11. The new "My Porsche" app is trash! Oh my.

    I have contacted Porsche UK directly about the software and the App (which I think is particularly poor for a car of this quality) and received no response (Smart Mobility in Germany appear not to give them) so I posted a negative review of Porsche Connect some time ago. However it did work and...
  12. Some reflections on MyPorsche app vs Connect app. What's your experience?

    I have posted a review of the new Connect App on Playstore (and updated it following a weak reply from Porsche about improving charging functions in due course - which did at least only take a couple of days for them to issue). In addition to your points, although I can edit the Timers, I...
  13. Do you have a pano roof?

    I have the pano roof on my 4S+ because I needed to fit roof bars for bike carriers. The glass roof gives the interior a much lighter, airier feel, great for passengers, particularly those in the back. I have not noticed any heat gain in the UK this summer - remember that you will precool the...
  14. Drive system control fault....

    I believe that the Innodrive was in passive mode at the time so I was steering manually (I would in any case have had hold of the wheel), the steering can always be manually over-ridden in Innodrive so I doubt that there would be a safety issue in this respect. I did lose all the Assistance...
  15. Drive system control fault....

    I have just had the same message and problem today - while driving in Scotland by coincidence. I have completed 3000 miles and had the software update in late March after about 500 miles. The car has performed brilliantly in the Highlands and it was a shock when the same message popped up and I...
  16. Help on home charging stations

    The charger can control charging if it is intelligent and the Ohme switches on and off to reduce tariff (4.5p/kwh is their best Go tariff); this is particularly important if you are on an Agile tariff where the energy supplier is negotiating wholesale rates real time and passing the savings on...
  17. 100% charge showing 175 mile range

    What I find interesting about this thread is that most people are determining their battery performance from the range prediction on the console and not actual driving performance which can be found in your trip data. As has already been said the prediction will be based on your driving record...
