    About to lock in Macan GTS. Will I regret not choosing the facelift Taycan 4S?

    I was thinking that with brake-by-wire, steer-by-wire and drive-by-wire moving the pedals and steering wheel should be much easier.

    About to lock in Macan GTS. Will I regret not choosing the facelift Taycan 4S?

    I think I’m just going to keep my Taycan GTS until the Model S is available in RHD then leave Porsche. Reason? Over the last 10 years of multiple Porsche ownership the technology is sliding backwards, costs rocketing and we still don’t get OTA updates - apart from maps!

    Spy car picture ......

    310 mile range! Must be like Porsche Taycan range for the GTS is 300 miles. Mine’s never been anywhere near 300!

    Any hope for significant update when MY 2025 introduced?

    My point was Porsche have lived on their brilliant handling, car control and looks. With good simulation this could be replicated and any gap reduced.

    Any hope for significant update when MY 2025 introduced?

    You say that but, let’s not forget, simulation is a wonderful tool and we know Tesla will be the King of Simulation and AI. I wouldn’t bet against Elon. . . .

    Heating Failure

    The question I would like the answer to: “Is Porsche selling cars that they know are faulty and then letting the customer have all the inconvenience associated with that failure”. I am of course talking about heater failures. My 2020 4S had a heater replaced. I then ordered a GTS - expecting...

    Reflections on 2023, and this Forum

    Maybe not a car magazine but I do have the 1969 New Scientist magazine covering the moon landing😊 Does seem a long time ago. Never kept that many being weekly so only digital now.

    Reflections on 2023, and this Forum

    Totally agree, this is the best Taycan forum. Did have a look on Facebook, yeah! Soon gave those a big miss. . .

    Taycan climate app reliability feedback & 2025 facelift

    Funny I had the same thoughts about my GTS following my 2020 4S until the heater failed just before Christmas! I remember we ordered about the same time for collection last year, so I suspect your heater is also ready for failure. The good news, a different version is being fitted and - with all...

    OK so I picked up my Taycan in January 2022 so now a year and 6000 miles old. Likes mainly!

    I’ve done it a bit different by just gluing a remote for my electric gate on the dash. Works fine and no home-link troubles 😊

    Oh I totally agree I’ve been more comfortable in the 18 way. In fact that’s why I changed as my previous Taycan was uncomfortable. I only found it a problem on the longer journeys.

    My one regret with my GTS has been the 18 way seats over the 14 way. I’m sure they are absolutely fine for 36 inch waists, but for us, slightly larger and older bodies, a little too hugging. OK on the short journeys but painful on the longer ones.

    Heating Failure

    Really important!!! If you get an Enterprise car make sure to take photos, video etc of every inch before accepting it. They take you card number then charge you for damage. I was lucky I had proof that a damaged tyre was present when delivered, only because of my photos. They then refunded the...

    Heating Failure

    Maybe I’m going to be lucky? Knowing the site principal well after many years of buying Porsche and putting up with lots of trouble with my previous Taycan, could also help. Maybe! Yes the first response was phone to have the car transported to the centre, but I held out as there was no way my...

    Heating Failure

    Update: Yes heater fault. Have been over to the dealership as I wanted parts ordered before Christmas and they confirmed a replacement is needed. Symptoms I was seeing: No cabin heating, just cold air. Drive battery temperature close to ambient and pre-heating not working. The good news, they...

    Heating Failure

    I was hoping I wouldn’t have to write in this one? Early 2022 built GTS ST collected a year ago as 2023 model. Cold air from heater. Not happy.

    Does Porsche limit available power?

    What you are showing is what I expected to be how the power is maintained. Maybe the GTS is closer to the upper limit and not able to provide the BHP as the voltage reduces. If that’s the case, Porsche should have mentioned it in the specifications.

    Does Porsche limit available power?

    I’m not so sure. There is no reason why the Taycan couldn’t be designed to give its maximum power at its minimum battery voltage. Let’s be honest, 650V plus is way higher than Tesla’s 400V system and we know the power they can generate.
