    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...

    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?

    The Lotus Eletre R is pretty quick then

    Carwow: Whilst it's an SUV, if I needed the space it would probably be this over a model x. The performance is very close to a Turbo S Taycan and it wouldn't surprise me if it was a little quicker if you take the launch out of it. Impressive stuff.

    Moved order from Sheffield to Reading

    Morning I placed an order for a ST Taycan Turbo S in June/July 22 and there has been no movement on a confirmed build date never mind delivery. I was apparently 1st on the list but the allocation wasn't forthcoming. A friend of mine who recently got an e-tron GT due to the long Porsche wait...

    Price Increases

    Under normal circumstances I would have had the car I ordered in June by now, although this is my first Porsche but I assume a typical 3 month lead time. The price at the time was 143k and as of today is now 147k. I thought to myself that no worries, it will be the price on your order sheet...

I take a look on ZapMap, find myself an InstaVolt charger in Huddersfield and set off for a "quick" 20 minute top up. So as usual it's quite difficult to find but eventually I spot an...

    Anyone considered the Lotus Eletre?

    With the Taycan being a GT rather than a sports car I've started to consider what else is interesting out there as an alternative. I appreciate global shortages mean just that, but it's made in China and it might just help mitigate some of those issues. So I'm thinking stick a deposit it down...

    Does a Taycan feel like a 911?

    Hi, never owned a 911 and am waiting for the Taycan to be built. I do read regular reviews by motoring journalists who swear it drives like a 911. Given the weight difference I do find this difficult to believe but am intrigued to hear if anyone who owns or has owned both would share their...

    Taycan Sport Turismo GTS 24 hour test drive, some thoughts...

    Afternoon chaps Probably less interesting for those who already have a Taycan but for those with cars on order (including me) this might be interesting. First things first, some context. I currently drive a M3P having also had an i-Pace and before that, an M5. I've had some issues with the...
