    Next Generation Taycan - what do we want?

    Absolutely! I’d also like them to fix the crazy wide field of vision. Once that’s sorted, an option of a digital rear view mirror would be welcome.

    Rear tyre wear

    This! I even pointed out that it might be different in the US than in the UK.

    Rear tyre wear

    A bit condescending? With all due respect, in addition to research online, it was confirmed by both a Porsche sales guy, and a Porsche tech on two separate occasions and different dealerships. However, your opinion has been noted and duly taken with a pinch of salt.

    Rear tyre wear

    It's not nonsense. Things might be different from America, but this is what I was told directly from two different Porsche dealerships here in the UK. Otherwise, I would also be on 21" PS4S, as Pirelli's just don't last.

    Rear tyre wear

    We had to replace our two front tyres at around 7000 miles! Pirelli P Zero's are known to be quite soft compared to Michelin.etc The problem we had is that Michelin don't do NF0 in 21", not an issue if you're on 20". We only replaced the tyres as we are about to hit winter and didn't want to...

    Depreciation of the 2025 Taycan

    I miss the days of being able to balance the PCP / Lease against the cash in a fund or tracker!

    Depreciation of the 2025 Taycan

    Given the current climate (for the UK at least), I think the 2025 Taycan's depreciation curve will be pretty similar. There's a lot of misinformation regarding EV's, peddled by tabloid sh*trags / social media, which is starting to take its toll with a bit of EV backlash. We still have a cost of...

    Teen Driver Rolls Taycan at 100 MPH

    In some ways it would be better for human evolution if modern cars weren’t so safe. Take the weak links out of the breeding cycle! :CWL:

    Race-Tex steering wheel opinions

    You can't put something like that on the internet and not expect people to comment. That's not how the internet works!

    Could your Taycan "Go Rogue" ????

    This reeks of yet another EV hit piece. It's as if the article is blaming the method of propulsion for brake failure, as if this could never happen in an ICE car!

    Depreciation, I lost money, I’m crying

    I'm just flabbergasted that the general public seem to have forgotten what the car market was like pre-pandemic. The last few years were an anomaly, it's just back to business as usual. New cars depreciate shocker... Cars are not investments, just enjoy what you have.

    Anyone experience their center display wouldn't come on?

    I had the same problem a few weeks ago. First time experiencing it, then twice within a week! Seems like you can’t do anything other than lock the car and return in 20 mins. Far from ideal when you need to drive to the airport to catch a flight…

    Would you upgrade?

    I don't know where in the US the OP lives, but surely you'll pass close to a rapid charger in a 160-mile round trip? The trick with an EV is ABC - Always be charging. I keep mine at 80% whenever I'm home. If there's an emergency and I need to be somewhere, I usually have enough charge to go via...

    Navigating the Taycan Terrain: Finance, Depreciation, and Future Proofing

    By posting such a man-maths laden thread, it already tells me that the car will be too much of a stretch. Patience is the key, wait a little longer and buy the car you actually want, rather than compromise and not get the experience you deserve.

    So are 'new' Turbo S Taycans essentially unsalable at present?

    Just to add, he's right in that this is the state of the UK market currently (ICE and EVs). What he doesn't mention (which shows the video's intentions), is that the Taycan Turbo S is still an excellent car, and there are some damn good bargains to be had, with lower risk since the lions share...

    So are 'new' Turbo S Taycans essentially unsalable at present?

    Saw this the other day, felt very contrived and sensationalist, pandering to the anti-EV crowd. How can you be into cars at that level, own multiple exotics, covet a GT3 RS and not know about the current car climate? It doesn't add up. All new cars, especially expensive luxury cars, will take a...

    How’s this offer for a left over 2023 New GTS?

    Porsche tune the GTS differently to the rest of the Taycan range. Stiffer anti-roll bars, spring rates, suspension setup (when in Sport / Sport Plus). All the tweaks and adjustments make the car feel sportier compared to other trims.

    EV Macan vs Taycan ll (UK)

    I don’t understand why this design decision wasn’t carried across to the Taycan II, it’s so much neater. The only reason I didn’t option electric ports on my GTS was that silly fin!

    🚨 2025 Taycan Officially Revealed! Specs, Wallpaper Photos, Videos & US Pricing

    The facelift looks nice. Lots of nips & tucks. However, has anyone else noticed that they've made the new Mission-E wheels (subjectively) damn ugly? They look like the old lobster claw wheels!
