    Does Porsche limit available power?

    Hi Forum, Having my GTS for almost a year and almost never let the state of charge go below 50%, I decided it was time to get a deeper discharge of the battery. Reason? I had read somewhere (not sure of the source) that the only time the pack does a complete cell balance is from below 20% state...

    Is a white 2020 Taycan going to be the most expensive Taycan ever?

    I’m slightly biased as expecting my sale to go through soon. The reason for this thought “you say”? Let’s go back in time: Horse and cart makes way as steam is the new transport. Later the first cars kill steam locomotion. Just imagine if you had a first addition car now and it’s value. If you...

    Do you need the surface coated brakes?

    My feeling is - unless you must have mission E wheels - not to bother. Reason? My 4S has lived outside in the UK for over 2 years. Has never been in the garage and yet, no sign of any rust or corrosion on any of the discs. In fact I’m not sure if they are even used. If you go by the amount of...

    Hi Forum, I’ve just watched a nice Porsche Navigation video that shows how to enable the Porsche Charging Services so the battery is pre-conditioned ready for charging. Unfortunately the enable menu mentioned doesn’t show when I go to the Navigation settings! I’ve checked My Porsche and I’ve...

    Anybody ever checked charging efficiency?

    My large battery was sitting at 58% And charged overnight for about 5 hours up to 84%. Checking the Zappi2 application 33.8 kW passed down the charging lead! Unless I’m mistaken, that doesn’t look that efficient? Has anybody checked the charging efficiency, especially with a cold battery - mines...

    Just happened to be at a Porsche centre today (ordering a ST GTS) and on getting into my 4S had a warning of “Electrical failure, park the car up“! No drive was possible. So good luck being at a centre. I was advised to lock car and wait 15 minutes, have a coffee and all should be good. Waited...

    Dipped beam converted!

    The “Dipped beam converted” message appears on my car when first started and I’m not sure why? Looking in the manual this conversion is to cast the dipped beam away from oncoming traffic and is directed by navigation data knowing your location and if it’s left, or right had driving. As I’ve a UK...
