    HotCars: 15 Reasons Why Porsche Will Make Better Electric Sports Cars Than Tesla

    Tesla will win in terms of battery and software. If Porsche can catch up on both, that would be great. I have faith the battery tech will catch up, but software, without Wifi OTT updates will always lag behind.

    U.K. Launch/Deliveries pushed back?

    I think you got luck. I just went and checked the Porsche Newsroom and found that they're stopping production for two weeks. https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2020/company/porsche-production-zuffenhausen-stop-coronavirus-20266.html I guess that will add an extra two weeks delay to everyone who...

    U.K. Launch/Deliveries pushed back?

    I also want to chip in and say my dealer called me and said that the car's lockdown period got moved a week earlier. The car is now scheduled earlier and Porsche has said that their factories are continuing for the time being.

    Is Your Dealer Showing You The Love?

    I understand that this is a new car and we are testers and I am not annoyed at all about delays and lack of information. I'm just annoyed that cheap sales tactics were used on me, a back-peddling on promises, a clueless sales rep who has been to test the Taycan out in Spain, drive it around the...

    U.K. Launch/Deliveries pushed back?

    I'm new to Porsche and I didn't know there was a thing as "dealer principal". I'll be sure to contact him tomorrow.

    Is Your Dealer Showing You The Love?

    I was thinking of contacting Porsche customer services and see if I can use my allocation but deal with a different center. The UK isn't big and the other center is an extra hour away. What are people's thoughts on that? P.S. The manager himself was the one that promised to contact me about...

    U.K. Launch/Deliveries pushed back?

    There's a difference between saying "check back with us regularly and we'll be able to give you update on your build allocation" to "we'll notify you as soon as anything has changed". The latter was promised to me but not delivered. Factor in the guy doesn't know the charging prices that has...

    U.K. Launch/Deliveries pushed back?

    My build has been moved from 3rd March to 23rd March with 12 June delivery and my dealership (Cardiff UK) have basically sat on that info without telling me. I had to chase up to find this out. Not annoyed with the delay, annoyed I'm having to chase up everything.

    Is Your Dealer Showing You The Love?

    Hi All, I have a feeling I am being mugged by Porsche Cardiff in the UK. First of all, I initially cancelled my Taycan only to find 2 months later that I was not cancelled but merely just taken off my build slot. I asked to have a new build slot as I already had the same credit line with...

    2020 Taycan 4S Reviews Are Here! (Articles & Videos)

    If all I did was just driving around the city, I think a car that I can charge overnight that can do all the range I want would be perfect. I'm not giving up on this yet. I've spoken to my Porsche center and told them my concerns and the routes I make and if they can get more information from...

    2020 Taycan 4S Reviews Are Here! (Articles & Videos)

    Ionity are only building 6 chargers next year because of the stupid Ecotricity exclusivity deals with the motorway services (non planned for Wales where I live). The plans for 2020 look quite tipid compared to what will happen *by late* 2021 so I know the initial year and a half is going to be...

    I have my Taycan on order with my deposit down and it will be "locked" next week and seriously considering cancelling the order. For those interested in the specs, here are mine: http://www.porsche-code.com/PLM1LNB5 I am someone who does regular 250+ miles journey in the UK and the EPA range...

    2020 Taycan 4S Reviews Are Here! (Articles & Videos)

    That is shockingly bad and worries me. I do hope the 4S gets a better EPA range. The higher end Teslas do get more than 300 miles too. That being said, Porsche have paid for an independent team to https://amcitesting.com/taycan/ and they've given it a real range of 275 miles and as you can see...

    2020 Taycan 4S Reviews Are Here! (Articles & Videos)

    Well I'm new to Porsche and EVs and I placed my order last month in the UK for a 4S with the upgraded battery. Genuinely do want to know if the range is good enough in the UK with our lower temperatures. The Autogefuel review said that their range was limited with the temperature outside, the...

    2020 Taycan 4S Reviews Are Here! (Articles & Videos)

    @RE66ELl I think that's the calculated range based on doing the donuts consistently which they were doing to drain the battery fast. I'm going to check other reviews to see if they show their range when charging the car after more conservative driving. Also bare in mind that early in Matt's...
