  1. Anybody else bothered by how the VLC roof looks on the outside vs regular pano?

    I have the VLC roof and noticed the difference to the regular Pano when I ordered and was also concerned. However, I have not even noticed the the top of the car since delivery because it is gorgeous from so many other angles and who even looks at the top of a car anyway? At ground level...
  2. "It's better in every single way"

    Sure, the headline is Gen .2 is better in every way. For me though, not nearly enough to be remotely concerned about a few miles extra range (and worse looks) to trade in my Gen .1 in an era of rapidly developing battery technology. With the Mercedes Vision EQXX in favourable conditions capable...
  3. EA Charging Plug Fails to Release

    I had this when I first used IONITY chargers but then realised release needs the car to be unlocked with the key fob. Same with my home charger. It wont release unless the car is unlocked. It’s been fine since.
  4. Puncture

    I felt exactly the same when I had a puncture due to a screw after just 600 miles last June. Luckily, middle of the tyre so was patched, seems similar to yours. If on the outer wall, it will need replacement. Merityre locally to me (23 miles from you but there are good ones more locally which...
  5. Battery Longevity Strategies

    For convenience, I previously charged weekly, daily commute 12 miles round trip. Watching battery degradation videos, and intending to keep the car for >5 years, I now charge 3 x weekly from 45% to 60% soc. Best battery preservation strategy for regular charging is to charge small amounts...
  6. 🚨 2025 Taycan Officially Revealed! Specs, Wallpaper Photos, Videos & US Pricing

    I don’t care about the range increase, bigger battery, or the change in the looks (definitely worse). Just please tell me they added some fluorescent paint on the dials so I can tell the time on the Porsche design clock?
  7. 2022 4S in Ruby Star (PTS)

    Not my cup of tea, each to their own. The exterior will get you noticed for sure, not necessarily in a good way, but the interior is as bland and anodyne as it can be..strange combination…
  8. Just got a nail in my tire any advice?

    I’ve had two of these, both central in the tyre, one front, one rear. First one a slow puncture, repaired by our local Merityre, second one, rear tyre, I pulled out a short screw, no puncture, pressures fine since. Safest option is take it to your local tyre repair shop, may be repairable as...
  9. Going to buy used taycan, pls help with decision

    I specced (over-specced) my turbo to what I really wanted..rather than really needed. 360: yes useful when I can’t see easily at night but often completely ignore the camera as another layer of compexity. HUD: I like it and its useful. However, never had it on my previous car and survived just...
  10. tree fell on taycan

    Have you actually taken it to either Porsche approved bodyshop or an independent specialist to get a quote yet? Surely that’s the only way you’re going to know whether it’s worth repairing through insurance, keeping or selling.
  11. Battery Range: Is 100% full charge of 188 miles the best I can expect?

    Ambient temperature is a major factor with variable range in the same car but so is AC. I have 21 inch wheels so not good for range (but look great!). I normally charge to 85% which was 197 miles in Summer/no AC, but is now 165 miles at 10oC with AC most of the time. The best in 8 months of...
  12. Car Delivered - but plain white instead of CWM

    And there is 0% chance the current model will look “dated”…it will still look nothing short of stunning. From what I’ve seen, the facelift ain’t all that..
  13. Porsche Taycan Turbo S is Road & Track's Over-$100,000 2024 Performance EV of the Year

    At least you know you are happy :). I have a Turbo and keep hearing Marlon Brando's voice in my ear "Hey I could have been a contender (for a Turbo S)"...So near and yet so far 😂
  14. How do you clean your Taycan

    Previous car, used bucket, car wash soap (Simoniz), wash with garden hose, dry with Chamois leather - 30 mins, simples! Not for the Taycan though… I’ve watched plenty of detailing videos, would highly recommend videos from Vermijl Detailing from Belgium. Problem is having seen these videos...
  15. New Porsche Charging Lounge Experience by Out of Spec

    I think the Charging Lounge is a good idea, so long as it remains exclusive to Porsche. I cannot see the point if it’s opened up to everyone as Audi have done. I look forward to the customisable coffee, with an options list.. extra cost cup, extra cost water, extra to have it warm..It’s...
  16. Accident update - repair estimate is in and I got relatively lucky

    Great you and yours are safe and sound which is the most important thing Playing devils advocate....would you have preferred if it had been an insurance write-off so you could get a new Taycan? I’ve had main dealer major repairs before in another car which never felt quite like the original...
  17. I'm done....cant do it anymore

    Sorry to hear this. Any idea what the issue(s) is/are? Interesting to look at EV reliability compared to ICE. Lots of variables in this and sure that overall EV reliability will improve as ICE reliability has massively improved over many decades.....
  18. 199 miles in the winter?

    Like Caraholic, I have a Turbo saloon 2023, 2000 miles on the clock. I get 210-220 miles doing 12 miles round trip to and from work and have no issues with the occasional longer journey for holidays. That's in Summer, no AC (hardly use it in Summer in the UK). In winter, using AC, lights...
  19. New 3rd Party Taycan specific Soft Closing Door Mechanism

    I had soft close doors on my last car, an S-class. I really don’t miss them at all so don’t understand the fuss about not having them. The biggest issue was any passenger I gave a lift to, including my own family, didn’t even know that the car had soft close doors, or even what soft close...
  20. Welcome to Normal Depreciation

    This is from this mornings Sunday Times in the UK…Heavy depreciation is not really a Taycan specific issue. There is now a glut of used electric cars, as more manufacturers get on board and many more second hand electric cars compared to 5 years ago. The transition to electric is still a hard...
