Just done that now (although I have had to answer that I still have my 1st Taycan as I do until late October!)

I get it, I do. I nearly did the same. But in the end I’ve just had enough for now!

Sadly for me, it’s been a pretty eventful journey with my Taycan and it’s had more warranty jobs than, I think, pretty much all my previous cars put together. So much so that it’s meant when the lease is up next month, it goes back and I’m switching allegiances to a different manufacturer. Just...

Hi, Thanks for that, I’ve been told today that Porsche are to replace it (number 4) as “goodwill” so somewhat short of an admission of a problem but at least it’ll be replaced. Hopefully it’ll last until the end of October when the car goes back but, for now at least, and after 4 years of...

Well, mine has just blown. Again. This’ll be number 4. Mercifully the lease is up in a few months and I’m off to try a different manufacturer. Frankly, I think the Maserati Folgore series will be more reliable than this car has been (and I mean it, Stellantis EV tech, which underpins this and my...

I had this issue with my CT rear wiper blade. In the end I just went to Porsche I’m afraid having exhausted all the avenues I could think of.

I had, until a few days ago, Intelligent GO with it linked to the Ohme wall EVSE and it worked perfectly. Since moved to Intelligent Drive Pack and the Ohme’s recorded usage and Octopus’ are very different. Seems they are aware of this specific issue but your graphs above look a bit like mine...

61,000 miles now. First replacement at 13,000 and second at 46,000 approx, hopefully this one will see me through!

I’m on my 3rd 22kw OBC, this one’s held together for a while now mercifully so with a bit of luck it’ll see me through to October when the car goes back. First time it died, it bricked the car whereas the second time, it would still take a DC fast charge and drive. Time to go looking for the...

I’m nearly 4 months from when my Connect services lapsed and, mostly, I don’t miss it at all (the IONITY app tells me how my charge is going when it’s plugged into their services for example). However, the last few weeks with some unreasonably early starts, having to schlep outside to activate...

I’ve pretty much just done this very trip from Norwich to Ampuis and back via Lille in a 2021 4S CT on 21” CT wheels with 3 up and the thick end of 60 bottles of wine as well on the way back. My average range on a full charge at 60k miles is about 180 miles in the winter temperatures. Even less...

This. Exactly this. The GT (with or without Weissach) is out of my reach but kudos to anyone that can, wants to and does get one. Enjoy!

Tracking back to this, my 3 year free Connect and Charging Service expired yesterday. After a good deal of thought (and despite the fact that I do a large proportion of charging away from home) I just can’t see the ongoing value in the services. The new charging service options are just...

This would chime with my experiences too, with 95% of my driving at motorway speeds I usually see in the order of 225-230 miles predicted range at full charge. When I recently had time off and was just pottering around locally, this went into the high 240s.

Unfortunately not. In my case, it says that the payment method cannot be cancelled until 3 months after the cessation of services without provision of another payment option (this I presume to allow for any laggardly charging bills to arrive). I’ll carry on down the rabbit hole of Porsche...

Thanks Adrian, the charging contract is sorted. Just need to get Porsche to not auto-renew the connect services now! ATVB

Amen to that. I’ll be binning either Porsche charging option in 25 days time when my 3 years are up and going to IONITY passport. Shame their prices aren’t aligned with the ones they charge in Europe (33-39 eur cents per kWh on the higher discount Passport) but still going to be far better value...

Hi all, Just coming to the end of my 3 years of inclusive Porsche Connect and, on balance, I’ve not had a great deal of use from the services and, so, don’t see the point in spending £279 on renewal of same. I’ve gone into MyPorsche online to try and cancel them but every time I untick the auto...

I’m one of those outliers too in that I use Innodrive an awful lot. It’s not perfect, far from it, but it’s saved me a few times on the M25 from both speed limit changes and odd behaviour from other drivers. It remains available for deselection when circumstances permit me to enjoy driving it...

I pretty much love all the bits I specified but I would be perfectly happy without the following if I was starting over. 1) Off-road design pack. Whilst it saved the paintwork from an almighty chip when a stone kicked up into part of it on the M5, I now find it a bit ungainly to the eye. It...
