I can’t speak to your specific route but I went to Marseille and back in September and, whilst I almost exclusively used Ionity, I had the odd charge on various other networks both in and out of the Porsche charge network. My experience was uniformly positive. My take in France was that there...

Purely a matter of my own personal taste (or lack of) but it’s an option I wouldn’t specify again. I try to remember to turn it on in town or on quiet country roads at dawn/dusk just to enhance the possibility of my being noticed by pedestrians/fauna but I find the sound just faintly...

Although the cheeky so and sos are trying to persuade us to switch now. It’s a materially poorer offering than the existing setup so, like you, I’ll wait until my 3 years are up (end of October thus year for me). I suppose Ionity has been held down at a very competitive price for a good few...

This problem occurs on my wife’s Fiat 500e in cold weather - you have to almost take a bat to the poor car to get the manual flap open. That said, I’ve had the DC side door mechanism replaced on mine due to errors.

Hi Marsh, yup, you can do that from within the app I believe but I’d recommend plug and charge as the easiest route. You’ll need to ensure it’s enabled in the PCM under the charging icon and it’s as simple as plugging an IONITY charger in and waiting. It’ll take a little longer than you might be...

Overall, I’m tempted when my Taycan lease is up. A few oddities but, hey, it’s Porsche after all and I think it safe to say none of us have the faintest idea what they’re thinking at any given time. The Oak Green is rather lovely I must admit but I’d take the Papaya for £2k odd less I think...

Will do.

That’s the one! A very nice facility, just far too close to home to be of use to me. The IONITY chargers are on the other side of the city at Cringleford and are on a windswept Shell forecourt with no weather protection. Often fairly flaky too, to add insult to injury.

Absolutely, I’ve found it almost seamless. I’m nearly at 40,000 miles now in just over 2 years and it, for me at least, just works. We’ve a 26 bay Gridserve 2 miles from us and an IONITY a little further away which are frustratingly of little use to me other than if the Ohme Home Pro decides to...

I think the OP is in the UK so is spared what sounds like a nightmarish EA experience. However, he can still enjoy queuing for IONITY!

I don’t have the comfort access option but do have the folding mirrors. I note when I use the app to lock the car, the mirrors don’t fold automatically as they do when I use the key.

Mine was off-loaded from a delivery truck in a pub car park by my house on a wet October morning. No fault of the dealer, I should add, it was how the lease company had it sent to me. Was still childishly excited even so!

My car (October 21 delivery) does this, as well as the bolsters on the 18 way seats moving a little too.

Years ago a friend invited me to a filming of Top Gear at Dunsfold. Whilst I fully accept Jeremy Clarkson is a divisive figure, his pre-filming warm-up where he mercilessly took the mickey out of anyone in the audience wearing manufacturer branded clothing was a work of comic perfection. There...

Literally and figuratively, “your mileage may vary” is never truer than when this question is posed. It really just comes down to your own use case, allied to the environmental factors that would pertain to where you live. As above with f1eng, my car came with the PB+ as standard so no choice...

As my car was sourced via a company salary-sacrifice scheme I really regret not getting the winter tyre set at the same time and taking advantage of the tax saving. I’ve always had them on previous performance cars and the Taycan is undoubtedly skittish in low temperatures on summer 21” tyres...

To say the least! It’s more a game of seeing if the range will ever top 200 miles again for the next few months right now. All good fun!

Thank you, that’s much appreciated. I’ll be a little more careful in future! Mind you, I think the outdoor temperature is unlikely to be an issue round here for some time. 😁

Oh, every day is a school day! I didn’t know that about Range mode after a fast charge. I’ve done 95% of my 38,000 miles on Ionity high-speed charges and have frequently left in Range mode. So far, seemingly no harm done but I’ll bear that in mind for future use. Thanks for the info!

I’ve hit 53c during an Ionity charge before. Brief appearance of the yellow turtle but by the time it hit the high 80s percentage-wise it had cooled down to mid 40s.
