Model S is a great car especially the latest version but I see no chance of RHD coming any time soon and even then it doesn't have the support that the Taycan has. I have found Porsche dealerships are a cut above most other car companies. Tesla ownership experience is way behind Porsche but...

The actual car fundamentals are excellent though. But, but...it's a large car and driving the 911 has reminded me how well they fit on the UK roads and how much I missed that manual interaction. BUT I only miss that interaction if I am properly 'driving'. As in not just getting to places. The...

Yes! I drove a hundred thousand of miles or so in 4 911's in the 80's and 90's and rarely sold for less than 10% of the original price paid. Fun times.

Those of us who like Porsches ultimately should like driving and cars that handle better than most cars on real roads, not the track. (Though Porsche do good tracks cars too.). In nearly every sector where Porsche choose to market vehicles they are the best handling cars and probably the best...

In w hat way do you regret buying your CT?

It’s an suv. I much prefer the Taycan feel and styling. Lotus is Chinese and I’m sure is competent but it’s not a Porsche. We’ll see. I have no complaints about my Taycan and absolutely love driving it. The only minor gripe is it needs to be narrower for uk roads. Looking forward to the...

Interesting comparison. Personally I’d love a Taycan two door coupe. Maybe a 2 plus 2 with a hatch back. That would be perfect. Come on Porsche get on with it!

I found my I4 not as involving to drive as the Taycan, steering was very woolly. I felt the weight of the car while driving enthusiastically on UK roads. I didn't really get on with the Idrive 8, it felt clunky and just didn't work that well apart from addressing me by the wrong name for 10...

Indeed, meanwhile I’m hoping the styling to be very similar (without ludicrous rear wing) to the Mission R. As faithful as the Mission E and Taycan

I’m a die hard petrol head but can’t see myself going back to an ICE car for my daily driver. I’d love an ev 911 but would be very infested in the up coming cayman ev.

I had an i4 rwd for a year and it was very enjoyable. It’s smaller than the Taycan which is an advantage and well suited to the UK country roads. However dislikes were the idrive8 which looks nice but kept addressing me by the wrong name for 10 months. Dreadful nav system and not intuitive in...

That’s exactly how I feel, years of being a petrol head and I enjoy classics but a fossil fuelled vehicle as a daily driver feels like a backward step, not to do with climate change per se, but certainly for cleaner emissions but really just because they feel like better vehicles and Taycan...

I don’t mind Tesla Model S but in UK it’s not a consideration. I need a hatch back, Model Y ? Too like an egg imo, what else compares to the Taycan? Mercedes EQS may be but never been a fan of the current design aesthetic. Taycan chooses itself really. One other thing that for me returning...

Interesting I’ve had people wandering around on several occasions, ‘oh it’s a Porsche’ - and in uk EV’s have a green flash on left side of number plate - so comments are then ‘oh it’s electric too’. Overwhelmingly positive reactions.

What wheels/tyres are you running?

I have regularly travelled 300 and 600 mile round trips away from home and it's really just a question of planning your trip. My trips are to the same locations and so I have familiar charging stops. My preferences are Gridserve, Ionity, Shell and BP pulse (no apps needed just tap and charge)...

In uk Tesla is opening up its network to other vehicles. So best of both worlds maybe?

I’m definitely not a fan of the spots sound though. BMW i4 had an acceptable artificial noise but always had it switched off. I suspect this will soon disappear from EV’s. Whine from my Taycan is quite loud but I’ve grown to like it.

It's a fair question - but no one else is doing it. So I better learn some skills.

I am interested in setting up a forum for a small active but disparate car club and wonder what this forum is based on as it would be a great tool for our club, any suggestions about suitable forum providers would be very welcome - I am a total novice at this!
