    Octopus Go and Heating Schedule

    We’ve just started using Intelligent Octopus Go which I must say is brilliant. However, since using it my Porsche App keeps turning off my scheduled heating. Octopus does set-up its own “Enode” charging schedule in the app but apart from that nothing has changed so I assume it has something to...

    Efficiency now that weather is warmer

    Interested to know what miles per kw/h people are getting from their cars now the weather is warming up a little in the UK. I’ve noticed a marked difference and will now get 2.5ish on a good day which is about 230miles of range and my average since taking delivery in November is at 2.2...

    Will we see video services added to the Taycan?

    Whilst watching the Top Gear video previewing the update to the Cayenne (link below), it caught my eye that not only is there a lot of dash borrowed from the Taycan but there was also video services button in the PCM and Disney+ on the passenger display. Do we think we’ll see this coming to the...

    GTS Sport Turismo - What are your "must have" options?

    Optioning a Porsche is a challenge and, of course, very subjective but I have listed what I think are essential options on a Taycan GTS. What would you add/take away? Must have on GTS: 21" RS Spider Wheels - Can you have anything less on a GTS? Rear-Axle Steering including Power Steering Plus...

    GTS Sport Turismo Build Slot Offered

    I've had my 4SCT just over a week and love it but Porsche have now gone and thrown a real spanner in the works by offering me a February 23 build slot for a GTS Sport Turismo. Anybody got an opinion on whether to stick or twist?

    My 4S CT - It’s here!

    Wow! It is a fantastic car. Even my wife, who was not especially keen, conceded it’s beautiful. Some initial thoughts: Don’t get me wrong, this is a seriously fast car but I’m used to relatively fast cars so the speed hasn’t blown me away. However, the way in which the car glides to and...

    Dashcam, Phone Charging & OBD Port

    Has anyone had any experience of plugging an adapter into the OBD port to use with a dashcam and, if so, did it cause any problems? Also, has anyone had a go at installing a wireless phone charging pad in that little storage area under the centre console beneath the HVAC touchscreen? It seems...

    Taycan 4S CT - Taking delivery November. Keep or sell?

    Hi everyone, Haven't posted for a while. After a year of waiting, my Taycan 4S CT is finally available for me to take delivery next week. I am obviously excited about finally getting my hands on the car but the pragmatist in me is looking at resale values and wondering whether I should move...

    Winter Wheel Set-Up

    I’m planning on driving my 4S CT (after it’s delivered next year) down to the French Alpes during the winter. I’ve little experience of driving in heavy snow and never changed tyres or wheels for the occasional dump of snow we get in the UK. What are other people using as their set-ups for...

    Rear Axle Steering

    Rear axle steering is a £1650 option in the UK but comes with Power Steering Plus - a must have option in my opinion at £203. Is the rear axle steering worth the extra £1447 for a car that will be primarily be used as a family car around town and venturing out to the countryside or would that...
