    Judder from tyres when cold

    Having researched this a little, it is apparently a thing but having owned multiple relatively high performance vehicles this is a new one for me and I wanted to see if anyone else has the issue. So, Taycan Turbo S, 21" wheels. I noticed when it started getting colder that turning sharply, not...

    June 2023 Deliveries

    Finally, after 12 months I am going to pick mine up on Friday, maybe Thursday if I can arrange work around it. I shall post pictures.

    UK order status and delays?

    I was told today that the car was in sheerness undergoing PDI. I'd assumed that PDI would be done by the dealership but I guess not. I'm still on track for delivery this month, hopefully, next week.

    Taycan GTS vs M5 Competition

    I had an F10, got a brilliant deal in 2011, maybe 2013, just as the LCI was coming out. Interest free and 11k off list. I ended up fitting the latest style grill and replacing the steering wheel with the LCI one and it was almost the same. It was a great car, loved every journey. Somewhat scary...

    Carmine Red GTS ST

    They are slow to appear on the app. I got mine two weeks before they appeared. There is a thread that explains how to get them, in a nutshell: 1. Logon to My Porsche -> Overview 2. [CHROME] Right click -> Inspect 3. Click Network at the top 4. Refresh the screen (F5) 5. Type orderid in the...

    Courtesy among Porsche Drivers?

    Don't forget to post some pictures. Enjoy your pick-up experience, it must be one of the best experiences as a car enthusiast. Waiting for the cover to roll back and you see her for the first time, in the flesh.

    Nice, looks fantastic! I got mine the other day, took my excitement to a whole new level.

    North Coast 500 (UK)

    Has anyone done this in the UK in an EV/Taycan and if you have, do you have any advice in terms of locations to stay, places to charge etc?

    Porsche Charging Service

    I'm waiting for my car to be delivered although the VIN is available. Does anyone know if you can sign-up for this service before I get the car or does it happen automatically? I'd rather have the card from day 1 if I can manage it. I've read the materials on the Porsche website and it doesn't...

    UK order status and delays?

    I spoke with my SA yesterday to clarify this 50-day thing. He said nothing is being flagged that would prevent me from picking the car up at the end of this month as planned. Time will tell of course but maybe it was a specific production run or something.

    Sudden lag during an overtake today. Is this normal?

    I love this solution: Just drive in Sport mode all the time to avoid it.

    MAMBA GREEN Taycan Club

    I finally have some production images of mine thanks to some jiggery pokery from a fellow forum member. The level of excitement is becoming quite unbearable.

    4S maxed out at 154 MPH

    I need to ask, you were doing 154, whipped out your phone and took a picture of the dashboard? Balls of steel!

    June 2023 Deliveries

    I've just had an update to say mine is now waiting in Emden, due to sail to Sheerness on Friday and arriving at the dealers w/c 19th. Fingers crossed I'm hoping 21st pick-up and a nice drive back from Reading up to South Yorkshire. Been the longest 12 months of my life. The app still says...

    Extended test drive?

    I did from the Sheffield branch yes, so it's a thing you can do. I had it overnight so about 36 hours in total. Be aware if you charge it, the parking bays are sometimes in places where you need to either sign-in (hotels), or visit the shop (like Iceland in Huddersfield). If you've owned an EV...

    Disable Rear Axle Steering?

    It truly is an impressive level of parking.

    The Lotus Eletre R is pretty quick then

    It's an option, you can have a rear bench.

    The Lotus Eletre R is pretty quick then

    Very true. I'd still (and have) take the Turbo S over this but as a fast family wagon, its quite a compelling thing.
