I had a similar experience at Cobham a few weeks ago.
First attempt at about 9am at around 30% SOC and I got 64kw (all stalls were being used). That lasted 9 minutes and then failed. So I walked back out from the services and started it again and got the same speed. I gave up after another 10...
Nope, virtually every UK (in fact all has been stated....) > 50Kw chargers are 960v I think so the 150Kw/400v option is completely redundant. A standard Taycan can use the faster chargers with no issue.
The only reason to spec it in the UK is for Tesla chargers which are 400v.
All EVs now have to make a synthesised noise in addition to what the motors make at low speed by law, I think its <15mph or something like that for the reasons you stated. I've got a Tesla from 2017 and its silent and does take people by surprise quite often in carp parks etc.
The Sport sound...
Might be worth asking your dealer for a dummy quote to see what their PCP GFV is after two years?
4 years on a 4S CT is approx £50k
I think you can assume thats the worst case?
I've confirmed my spec today too, I have, to excuse the phrase, gone balls deep - Frozen Blue with Crayon interior. Hopefully won't live to regret that. Might wake up in a sweat tonight and change it!
My first spec was also Mamba but I saw the frozen blue demo they had and that was that once...
Just bringing this back to the top, has anyone sorted out finance recently?
I see the Lombard quotes online at least are now pretty much the same %APR and residual as Porsche direct.
Rob - I see you are a fellow Forest fan and buying from Nottm, who did you end up with?
Cheers
Feels like a decent offer tbh, have you tried WBAC for a valuation? Its a pretty specialised car to resell outside of the Porsche network.
Theres a 4S on collecting cars, be interesting what this goes for as this is without the OPC margin and its real value I suppose ...
I think with a detailer you’d be looking at £600 ish for a stage 1 correction and the Gtechniq coatings.
Are they quoting including the correction or just the coatings?
Like someone mentioned earlier in the thread, I also got confirmation of a build slot in late October/early November for a CT 4S this week. In fact strangely I have an email from Porsche inviting me to the Driving experience already - I assumed that would come after delivery!
Has anyone been there today?
What's in the Porsche stand? Is there a Cross Turismo?
I've not physically seen one yet so hoping there is one I can have a sniff around on Saturday. I'm hoping (or maybe not?!) the new Lotus doesn't tempt me in to keeping my Tesla and augmenting it with a 2 seater.
ahh nice, The 4S price has gone up £450 and the reversing camera (was £480) is now standard, thats all the difference loading my spec in suggested. £30 cheaper!
Thanks for the heads up!
