    -4 and the heater kaput… wish me luck

    I have been on holidays with the Taycan 5 times. Three times skiing. This is my real nightmare. I was lucky until now that the heater broke in 2022 three weeks before the holidays and the onboard charger this year 2 days before departure. good luck on your trip back. Let us know how it goes...

    Has Porsche Killed the Taycan?

    50 % after 3 years. Sign for it! Used Taycans go down much faster. Mine is worth less than 50% after 2 years. With the new model even less probably . The market for a Taycan Turbo is much smaller than for a Macan EV this will reflect in the price. I agree on the HUD. Why didn’t you go for the...

    Hybrid Alternative to all electric

    that is ineteresting indeed. A thing to consider when having young children and having to plan holidays around school holidays everyone will want to rent at the same time with a possible shortage.

    High pitch ringing sound from front left tire area

    some insights. Did a test with my colleague with a GTS on 20 inch winter wheels and it has the exact same noise. And surprise the Panamera loaner on 21 inch summer also has it. Both in EV an hybrid mode. But in hybrid camouflaged by the ICE. Must be the tire noise on our bad roads. Even the i5...

    From Taycan to BMW i5 - Honest Opinion

    I tested an i5 40 with 20 inch wheels and standard suspension and a 60 with 20 inch and adaptive M suspension. World off difference! Maybe the adaptive non M will also be fine.

    Hybrid Alternative to all electric

    I had a Panamera 4e hybrid for two weeks while my Taycan was fixed. I did have rear axle steering like my Taycan. I like the way the Panamera drives But I find my Taycan it bit to hard. The Panamera is a bit softer. The seat are a bit larger and better for me. From 2022 on, the PCM is the...

    Onboard charger defect

    I am having some issues with my Wallbox pulsar. It is charging normally but it indicates a too high current. The chargers shows 30 kW but the car 5 kW like set in the Wallbox app. Eco pro function doesn’t work. Starts charging at 22 kW even when set to only 7. So still charging from the grid...

    Next Generation Taycan - what do we want?

    You know what. I just want a car I can trust. And a bit more range. Like 400 km between charges at 125 km/h. The rest is fine. And an opening panoroof. And a button for next trac on the wheel. And soft close doors.

    Onboard charger defect

    Having my car back and driven it for a couple of times I am reconsidering everything I have written the last days. It so nice to drive but do I trust it enough to keep it. Now that the OBC has been changed and the heater software opdate, is it safe to presume I will be happy and out of...

    Onboard charger defect

    Went to check for a well optioned 2023 Panamera 4 ST. Rws, ventilated seats platinum etc. See if I can make a really good deal because PHEV taxation has changed and it is difficult for them to sell. anyway this was at another Porsche dealership and I was complaining about Taycan reliability. He...

    Wanted to test if my charge plan would have worked. 24 chargers in the public parking in Val D’Isere . Found 8. One taken bij a ICE, two by BEV not charging and not plugged in en on PHeV plugged in and not charging. Like laying down a towel at the swimming pool? Not done. Lots of negative posts...

    Onboard charger defect

    For tax a PHEV is still doable for a couple of years. May go for a BMW 550e or a Panamera. The 550 seems like a good deal with active roll stailisation, sportive and comfortable. i6 and 200 Hp electric engine. Should be a good combination. Still have to do a testdrive. I have will the Panamera...

    Onboard charger defect

    Called yesterday. Morning and they offered me to swap the Evoque for a Panamera. Which I did of course. Unfortunately my wife picked it up and it was on summer tires. So took the CLA anyway. Some observations during the trip. All stops I planned all had more than two or three chargers free...

    Onboard charger defect

    I am so happy that now I am not only member of the broken heater group but also the broken onboard charger group. We are leaving on holiday tomorrow. Trip and hotels planned for chargers etc. No power in the house when I woke up this morning. Taycan stopped charging at 4 am around 70 % soc...

    Maserati GranTurismo Folgore

    If even the Germans can’t make a reliable EV just imagine what owning an Italian one would be. Ok the battery was invented by an Italian (Allesandro Volta) maybe they have an advantage. and even smaller dealership network than Porsche (same for Lotus) which you will likely need a lot. But it...
