    Joined the 200+ miles club!

    Just returned from a 24 hour trip - 100% charged, 94 miles each way, 62 miles left in battery on return = 250 total. Used normal mode throughout. Average 3.0 and 3.2 miles/kWh. PB+, ambient 15degC, average 54mph mixed motorway/country roads. Pretty pleased with that. Don't understand how people...

    Taycan RWD

    If you think the base RWD is slow, I don't think you can be driving it properly. The 0-60 times for the RWD are exactly the same as the first generation 997. Did Porsche sell those as a slow car? Sure, it may be slow compared with other electric cars, but do you want your passengers throwing up...

    Anti EV misinformation

    I was a fervent petrolhead before I drove an electric car. The sound of an air-cooled flat 6 is a symphony that you can't hear anywhere else. A V12 on full chat is a cacophony of sound to behold. But I am now a committed EV driver. The immediate acceleration and quiet smoothness takes you to...

    What a beautiful car..

    The anti-EV opinions seem to be driven by the fossel fuel industry and the right wing press. For people that are taken in by this rubbish, there's a simple cure for this - give them 5 minutes in any Taycan...

    International Study Taycan Owners

    As per your previous post and someone else's response, why don't you prepare an online form for people to complete? You'll get a much better response

    Heating and ventilation campaign.

    I received the recall email this week. Heater has worked fine since new. They say it's a 'new and improved heater'. Booked in for first week of February - better safe than sorry

    Newbie - any home charger recommendations?

    Another vote for the Hypervolt here. It simply works and the App is good.

    Seating position 911 vs Taycan

    I have some difficulty getting in and out, particularly when parked close to other cars. This is mainly because of the position of the B pillar; the seat is also lower than most cars. Once I'm in the 14-way seats are very comfortable for long journeys. Coming from driving a 964 with sports...

    Phone holders for the Taycan - what are you using?

    You won't find a part number becuase there isn't one. The cup is fabricated out of a tight-fitting plastic cup fitted to an ESR magnetic Magsafe charger which is widely available. It works very well and holds the phone in place as well as charging it. It decided not to tear the console apart to...

    "My [Taycan] takes so long to charge I was able to eat entire Chinese takeaway" - UK clickbait

    It's in The Sun. The Sun is a comic. And I don't understand why this guy still has his Taycan, he winges so much about it.

    Charging etiquette. Would you do the same?

    I'm going to start campaigning for more idle fees in the UK

    Charging etiquette. Would you do the same?

    I'm tempted to buy some hard-to-remove windscreen stickers with a polite notice printed on them... But then that's getting petty

    Rocketing Insurance for Electric Cars

    All the quotes I had included a high excess. Mine is now £900, so I've taken out excess insurance for £45

    Charging etiquette. Would you do the same?

    Just another example of the unthinking, inconsiderate people that seem to be everywhere these days. Don't even think how they would feel if it happened to them. As I say, I think the charging companies have to introduce severe overstay charges. This is happening to me pretty often now. Chargers...

    Rocketing Insurance for Electric Cars

    My 3rd year renewal went up from £560 (Churchill) to £730 (Aviva). Up 30% in one year. Full NCD, clean licence, low cost area. 6,000 miles pa. Given Porsche's exorbitant costs for repairs and parts, I wonder how long it will take for Taycans to become uninsurable for a fair cost. Will Porsche...

    Charging etiquette. Would you do the same?

    Last Sunday, I arrived at an Instavolt charger to top up for the journey home. Both stands occupied. Waited in my car (didn't want to give away my place in any queue as I was next) for just over an hour before one came free - someone charging to 100%. The other car - a BMW - had completed its...
