    Odd tyre wear

    My Taycan has been in due to a heater failure and while there they did the usual “health check”. The front tyres are wearing evenly but the rear tyres have both worn disproportionately on the outer edges. Such that they are recommending replacement at just over 7000 miles. To me, it looks like...

    Luton airport car park fire - started in a diesel car

    I am amazed that people haven’t yet been speculating that an EV started the fire, but it looks like it was a diesel. ICE cars - dangerous things. Should be banned!

    I melted a plug [UK] 😱

    I use a Porsche mobile charger to charge my wife’s RR hybrid every night. It runs on about 10A for 6 or less hours. Started in January. Because my 13A outdoor socket is at the back of the house I ran an extension lead and tacked it to the wall. I made sure it was rated 13A when I bought it...

    I think someone fixed Car play hijacking the PCM issue

    I am not aware of any updates on the car, but since my iOS update I can now get in the car, have it connect to wireless car play (automatically) but the PCM stays on the radio. It hasn’t done this since I bought the car and I know is a source of irritation to many. So perhaps Apple tweaked the...

    Andersen EVSE on solar

    Posting on the UK forum as I don’t think many other countries use Andersen. But the moderator might move it to charging! I have had an Andersen EVSE since before I got my Taycan 18 months ago and have recently got some solar panels with a battery system. I knew the Andersen did solar and...

    UK EVSE with variable output

    Hello all. A question for the UK members. I know there have been many threads on charging and EVSEs. However I have a specific question. Do any of you have have an EVSE that does 7kW but that you can manually limit/change the maximum output to whatever you want such as 3kW? I am moving to an EV...

    Parking in Liverpool

    Hi all. I am planning attending a conference at the ACC in Liverpool. Does anyone know how secure the newish Royal dock car park is? There isn’t much info online but it does appear to have >1000 CCTV cameras (both worrying and reassuring at the same time) and a 24h security guard. Would my...

    Porsche experience Centre charging

    Just had a great session at PEC Silverstone this morning however rhe point of this was to flag up the charging if you go in your Taycan. Out the front in the customer car park are 2 rapid chargers (look like 350kW) and about 6 mobile chargers connect mounted on pedestals, 2 of which don’t work...

    What happens after 3 years?

    When I first got my Taycan there were lots of subscriptions included. Mostly they seemed to relate to PCM and app related functions. And obviously the 3 year Ionity subscription that is pretty useless to me because there aren’t any Ionity charge stations nearby. My question is - what stops to...

    Car pre heat image

    It is interesting to see where the insulation is/isn’t when preheating. Looks pretty good except of course for the glass and a small area on the bonnet - maybe where the heat pump is. Or the 12V battery

    Blank PCM screen

    Hi all. I think I have read about this issue, but maybe not quite the same. It happened on my 4S both before and after the uPdate and now on the Turbo. I can occasionally get in the car and the main PCM screen gets stuck on “Porsche”. It doesn’t matter how long I leave it, it doesn’t move onto...

    My move from Taycan 4S to Turbo -- real difference is the way it drives

    TLDR – the Turbo is even more awesome that the 4S Back in July 2021 I test drove and ordered a 4S. In November I heard that the wait had grown to >1 year for a 4S and about 1 year for a Turbo. Thinking that this would keep residuals high, I ordered a Turbo before the 4S had come. I collected...

    Osprey charging rates?

    Just had an email from Osprey charging to say their rapid chargers will be going up to £1 / kWh. At that rate, a diesel car is going to be much cheaper to run

    UK charge stations question

    Hi. Sorry if this is covered but I can’t find it anywhere. I have only charged at home and at work so far but understand the need to pre condition the battery if charging at a DC charger to get the best rates. But how do I do this if the charger isn’t a Porsche one? I am using My Porsche and was...

    Andersen charger query

    Hi, this question is specific to the Andersen charger in the UK. I have one fitted with a CT clamp on my incoming power supply. Initially the clamp was fitted the wrong way round but is now the correct way round. When I look in the energy tab of the Konnect app, it shows -0.5kW usage. It goes...

    Sat nav current location - help!

    I can‘t find this anywhere but also can’t believe it would not be an available function… is there any way to add the current location of the car as a favourite or as my home address? I could just add the post code, which comes close, but sometimes search areas are a bit off and if it is a...

    Charging question (UK)

    Hi all. I think I know the answer to this one, but looking at Zap-Map there are quite a few charge points with type 2 43kW and CCS 50kW. If I plug into the CCS then I should get 50kW. If I plug into the type 2, is that AC charging? So I would only get 11kW (or 22kW if having the 22kW charger for...

    Sport chrono clock

    This is probably a stupid question… But is is possible the get the sport chrono clock to do anything other than tick round the second hand? I know there’s a digital display and you can use it as a stopwatch, but can you get it to just tell the time? Like an ordinary watch? Or can you only do...
