I think we align here on trying to capitalise on the amazing BIK rates currently on offer. When it was 0% the other year it almost felt like something must be wrong as having gone from having a BMW at 37.5% BIK and paying crazy amounts to paying nothing I was like a kid in a sweet shop! My...

Very unhappy Newcastle is my local OPC. £964 and that’s only for the minimum required code. Looks like I’ll be going elsewhere for service as that’s a rip off.

Exactly the same situation I am in and have had my EV via my limited company for the last three years (BIK was 0% at one stage!) My understanding is that it depends how much dividends your taking as to weather you hit the 40% mark. If you do then the BIK will be applied at that rate…so it...

I’ll add my 2 pence. You ”probably” do not need the performance battery plus. It really depends on what sort of distance your covering, the average commute in UK is 23 miles. A lot of people state it’s a must have but I can only speak from my own experience with an EV for the last 3 years in...

Whilst I wait my my 4S Sport Turismo to be built and eventually delivered I have been wondering why there is no Sport Turismo sub forum. We have one for the Saloon/Sedan, another for the Cross Turismo and one for the GTS trim. I can only think it is due to there only being a ST in GTS trim in...

Might be the ST is the one for you then, available with all the same wheels as the saloon. I am patiently waiting for my 4S ST which according to my SA I’ll be getting a MY22 model so should avoid the price bump!

He did something like 3.47 on his 4S CT. I think like others have said if you really want a decent bump in 0-60 over the 4S you’ll need to jump up to the Turbo. GTS will get you many things but IMHO the 0-60 times will not be something you’ll notice.

One thing he mentioned that has given me food for thought is he attributed some of the improved driving dynamics to the GTS having RWS optioned as compared to his CT 4S. I know many on this forum recommend adding that option.,.though others and my advisor state it’s not needed. Will have to try...

Going for the RS Spyder wheels, I think they are the best of the 21 inch range on the ST/Saloon. If I was getting a CT it would definitely be the cross turismo design wheels. I know it’s all personal preference but I really feel the Taycan needs 21 inch wheels.

It’s funny when you come across a Taycan in the least expected places, was at screwfix the other day picking up some decking oil and in comes a white Taycan Turbo. I think it was fate as I had been going back and forward on weather to spec the 20 inch turbo aero wheels. Seeing them in real...

@f1eng I know how much you “dislike“ SUV’s so recommend you do not watch this recent review of the CT4S!

Carkey would be great along with better CarPlay integration (like in BMW: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/09/03/bmw-i4-integrated-carplay-instrument-cluster/) where navigation is shown in the HUD. Unfortunately I doubt it’s coming to the Taycan soon but would love to be wrong!

I may have skimmed some details as it’s been a while since I read it but basically it’s as I mentioned: ”The two-speed transmission is based on three shafts. In addition to the two spur gear stages, which technically represent the ratio of the second gear, a shiftable planetary gear set is also...

I remember reading something along the lines of in Normal mode the power given to the wheels makes them rotate around 8 times per second. In Sport mode that increases to 14 times per second. So there is a significant power increase when selecting Sport mode over Normal mode.

Pretty much that aligns with my setup. I have Solar panels, Tesla Powerwall, Zappi, Eddi and Harvi (the last 3 all being myenergi devices). Zappi will as you know use excess solar when available to charge the car. Eddi is similar but heats up your hot water. Harvi just makes the two...

If money is not a concern it would be Turbo for me without a shadow of doubt. Performance difference between 4S and GTS is minimal where as with Turbo it’s a more significant jump up. In addition for me personally some of the standard items on GTS like sport design package, sports sound...

Another reviewer to add to the mix that I don’t think has been mentioned yet is Bjorn (formerly TeslaBjorn) who I find quite entertaining as he says what he feels. Was bored waiting for new Taycan reviews to watch the other day so watched his series on when he reviewed the Taycan 4S. One of...

Yeah it’s most likely down to not having any delivered yet. I had initially received an invite last year for a Turbo S but decided to wait until the weather was better and in the meantime switched to a 4S ST. I contacted them the other day to book my experience in and was told as they do not...

Voted yes only if many other options are selected first and money is no option to you. The Taycan I test drove had HUD and it was ok, I’ll not be speccing it on my build as it’s way down my priority list….but if I was going all in I may as well add it in! For me its third or fourth in the...

The new sport turismo models are also now showing this increased range in the stats. I compared a 4S saloon without the updated figures and with performance battery plus on 20 inch wheels the estimated range is 283 miles. On the 4S Sport Turismo without performance battery plus with the same 20...
