    Safer or better driving experience with energy recovery?

    A few weeks ago I had a very low speed, minor collision, necessitating a few weeks off the road for body shop repairs. I hit the brakes pretty hard but the Taycan is a very heavy car and no matter what the speed, it takes a bit of stopping. I 'just' hit the car in front of me and the tow bar...

    Tow bar crunch

    About six weeks ago my car was involved in an altercation with a tow bar. It was my fault but I was a little bit miffed when the driver of the other car who I had been following for a little while, stopped completely unexpectedly, to put their seat belt on! I learned a few things from this...

    Spotify: PCM or CarPlay?

    WIth a few months usage of Spotify, I wanted to offer a couple of observations and seek feedback on like or different Spotify experiences. Firstly, registering my vehicle for Spotify usage through MyPorsche was easy and it worked first time. There are two ways to connect to Spotify, one...

    Leaking left rear tire

    Since taking delivery of my new GTS at the end of June, I’ve had to add air to the left rear tyre a few times. I suspected I might have a leaky valve. Recently it has begun to get worse and today I did a 360 rotation to find the culprit. There is quite a bit of house construction going on in...

    350kw superchargers Sydney

    Hello. I completed my first supercharger top up today at Zetland shopping centre on the NRMA/Chargefox charger. Could not get 350kw, only 150kw for a couple of minutes before it settled around 100kw. Is anyone aware of a 350kw supercharger that actually delivers 350kw in the Sydney area? Thanks.

    Week three observations & issues

    Just coming to the end of week 3 in my 2023 Taycan GTS. With the giddy feeling of excitement having abated somewhat, I thought it a good time to add some additional insights as a new owner. The driving experience continues to be amazing, and with more time behind the wheel, a willingness to...

    Burmester sound system option

    When I was ordering my Taycan GTS, one of the decisions to make was which sound system? The included system in the GTS was the Bose and the expensive option was the Burmester. After reading lots of posts on the taycanforum and viewing a number of videos, I decided to go with the Burmester...

    Noise insulating glass option

    For those in the process of ordering your new Taycan, you may be considering the noise insulating glass and thinking what is this all about. You can find a Porsche video on the product and some technical gumpf. For me it was a bit of leap and as I have taken delivery of my car thought I would...

As it so happened, the following day I had to leave on an extended business trip, so it was great to finally get back home and do a little driving. I always look forward to the...

    Supply status letter and gift

    Last week I received a package in the mail, which was a letter and this etched picture of a Taycan, included in the box were a couple of metal feet so the the picture can be stood vertically on a surface. The letter reinforces that not even Porsche Australia know when they are going to get...
