  1. Transport system mount/demount ease

    I am considering buying the roof transport system + bike rack add on for a 4S saloon. How easy is it to mount and demount the system, ie is it viable to remove regularly? I will pretty much only use it for day cycle trips and don’t really want it on the car permanently so any advice is helpful.
  2. Will there be a Taycan coupe and/or convertible any time soon

    Stefan Weckbach from Porsche last spring said they would consider a coupe and convertible version assuming there is sufficient demand, but after that there's been no further "official" updates on whether this is actually happening. Given that Taycan is now fairly established in the model...
  3. What does how you hold the steering wheel say about you?

    https://blog.greenflag.com/2020/how-you-hold-steering-wheel/ Around the London area at least, the young-ish men with Land Rovers and similar vehicles are almost exclusively No. 5 “The Cool Dude”. The rest and in particular those in sports cars + mothers in SUVs tend to consistently be No. 1...
  4. Extended warranty policy options and related considerations

    I am approaching the New Vehicle Warranty expiry date this summer, and am considering getting an extended warranty policy. Given that it's around GBP 1k/year I am trying to figure out whether it makes sense or not given that the battery is covered for eight years. Which are the most common (and...
  5. 718 Boxster EV pricing and first deliveries timing speculation

    Will definitely consider the Boxster once the EV version is released, and am curious about pricing expectations for a decently optioned build. Read that the starting price will be around $80k / GBP 65k, i.e. considerably higher than the current ICE version. Given that the EV is slated for 2025...
  6. Great quote re. 911 that is as applicable to Taycan

    “After you've driven a 911 for a while and are accustomed to feeling like you've merged into some magical man-machine chimera, you'll have reason to drive another car, maybe a rental when traveling by air, or perhaps a vehicle you use for trips with the family. And if you've always enjoyed...
  7. Early days speculation about next-gen Taycan

    While it is obviously very early days and it is difficult to predict or even speculate with some level of certainty about how much the world of EVs will have evolved between today and 2026/2027, please share your ideas about what type of tech and range we might see in the next generation of Taycan!
  8. Rattling sound from rear seats area

    Rattling sound from rear seats For the last couple of weeks there's been a consistent rattling sound from the rear seats area (as per linked audio file). Typically I can hear it when breaking and accelerating at low speeds (sub 10-15 mph). Any advice on the cause and how to fix this would be...
  9. Porsche says tires need replacing, dealer strongly disagrees

    Having my 4S in for the 20k service and software uPgrade, and the service location claims that all four Pilot Sport 4 tires need replacing as they are under the UK legal requirement (which is a minimum tread depth of 1.6 millimeters, across 75% of the tread around the complete circumference)...
  10. 22kW onboard AC charger retrofit for MY20 - quoted cost

    Recently checked with a London-based Porsche dealership and they want almost GBP 6k for retrofitting a 22kW onboard AC charger on my 4S MY20. Sounds a bit excessive and am curious what others have been quoted, also from locations outside UK.
  11. Barcelona - Mallorca - Ibiza summer trip July 2022 in Taycan 4S

    As "part 2" of the European road trip report, I thought I'd share some impressions from the last leg of the journey with my Taycan 4S to the Balearics: Mallorca Boarded the Baleria express ferry from Barcelona to Alcudia on the Northern coast of Mallorca, an almost six-hour crossing that was...
  12. France/Spain road trip with Taycan 4S - 93 kWh Performance Plus battery

    Took my new 4S for a long drive down to the Balearic Islands via Paris/Versailles and Barcelona and wanted to share some impressions from the journey which took around 18h of actual driving split into three days - which with breaks meant pretty much being on the road from morning to evening...
