I went to PSL last week and the two chargers were out of service so went to Tesla. Thought I'd try again but phone in advance. It transpires in order to prevent non Porsches charging they switch them off. You have to go in a request one to be turned on. Turns out not only did they have a lot of...

Christ on a bike. I live in South East London and I have never seen so many pot holes. Big 'uns, chunks of tarmac gone. I am swerving all over the place and hard braking. Drove down the A20 today and the whole car nearly fell in one. It's never been this bad. Got 21"Aeroblades so keen not to...

When the frunk is open. Only noticed when the frunk decided to pop while I was trying to clean the windscreen. Wondered why the wipers were not 🚫 working. Can't imagine that was a use case when developing.

Always helps to know a journo... Even if he is a massive knob https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/feb/09/friend-freezing-cold-porsche-adrian-chiles

Has anyone heard of a Taycan stolen? I just don't know what a thief would do with it. No moving parts. Strip it down and what? Put the parts in another Taycan? Rip the motors out and put in another... Err Taycan? I guess you could sell the calipers, seats and wheels. If they targeted a car 🚗...

Inevitable for Porsche? Mercedes is the latest manufacturer to lock auto features behind a subscription fee, with an upcoming “Acceleration Increase” add-on that lets drivers pay to access motor performance their vehicle is already capable of. The $1,200 yearly subscription improves...

All very posh. From Porsche UK and printed on Conqueror paper. Seems odd that the head office is writing rather than the dealer. But hey ho, not interested in silly colour icons but faster charging in the winter I very much am. Drive update no impact as already RWD.

The guy who details my car just quit working for a Porsche dealer. He gave me a telling off when he detailed the car as he noticed a lot of fingers prints on the passenger's mainly but also driver windows. These as he correctly summised was because people are shutting the doors by pushing the...

Left Satan's Chariot of Death on the street for 17 days. Battery drop was minimal over that period. Started with 97% on the 16th July. Today it is 94%. So don't worry about leaving it

Picked up this bit of plastic and wondered where it had shot out from. Found where. Wedged back in but no firm click so it will spring out again. It also appears I have already lost one. If boot aesthetics are important to you, you might want to check yours and super glue where necessary.

My car is through Octopus 🐙 so I got an Electric Juice account automatically. Never used as it never supported Super Chargers in South East London. Checked today as Octopus have given me free miles on the EJ account. They have added Shell garages and Porsche Superchargers (must be a Porsche...

Bah! Fired up Satan's Chariot of Death this morning only for the main instrument panel not to. Car 🚗 drives but without a Speedo it isn't very safe. So called the Porsche breakdown. Disconnected the 12v battery but that did nothing. So drove slowly to Porsche. Remains to be seen if it requires a...

Tesla will open its vast network of superchargers to other makes of electric cars in a landmark move expected to increase the uptake of plug-in vehicles but prove unpopular with the brand’s customers. The American manufacturer has launched a pilot in the UK that will open 15 charging stations...

I recently signed up for the tracker as I don't want to wait 70 weeks if it gets nicked. The fob is annoying. So, as recommended elsewhere here I got a custom leather fob holder off those very distinguished Scottish leather experts https://www.mackenzieleatheredinburgh.com/ Delighted. Went red...

Using park assist it got confused and scragged the rear wheel in. The problem was I was wedged in with no room in front to get out so I had to scrag the front wheel to dig myself out. Obviously I cried as I didn't get Alloy insurance. However, I have been using a guy from Essex Smart Repairs to...

I always use a pro steering wheel lock for my cars which acts as a great deterrent. Keys are kept separate. Hidden in the house. So, unless you have a silent angle grinder and 30 minutes to spare the crims are out of luck. However, I have just signed up for the tracker system about 4 months...

I was charging at my local Porsche and noticed this for sale. Reminded me of a previous poster who posted a picture of a Smokey and the bandit type livery. Love the gold Taycan. If you're a Brit you could be Burt.

I always use PA and it seems the smaller the gap the better the parking. It certainly gets into a smaller gap relative to the size of the car than my previous G20 BMW. Even when it does park it leaves a foot from the kerb which I am not complaining about since the alloys cost a small fortune...

A parky 5*c battery in South East London. RWD 93kw battery At 22% so unable to pre heat A 15 min 60mph drive increased battery to 6% so a waste of time. Porsche 350kw supercharger. Charging rate at battery temperature 5*c 47kw. 26*c 95kw 32*c 150kw 35*c 66% charge decreases 103kw 39*c 80%...
