Yes I am sure that they work. We used to charge our Tesla at the one with 16 chargers! It is in the car park at a hypermarket, Carrefour. Still see many Tesla’s charging there when we visit. They are also positioned sideways so would suit to charge the Taycan there. Two ff the places are about 4...

Interesting to note that Tesla indeed seem to have opened most SuC in Europe to cater for all EV’s. I had not noted this before so it must have been a fairly recent event! But there still are some sites that are not opened.??? !!! I have 2 close tome that are as yet not available to me, only...

Very impressive how quickly they have updated the weak points on the first release. Maybe these massive ceramic discs are an overkill, but they seem to have addressed the issue of overheating. How they can price the car so aggressive is another question, and no idea on what the company results...

Partly agree that this can give a good road trip. we have excellent reliable charging stations along the route we frequently drive. The daily trips can vary from 700 km to 900 km per day. Fot us a stop every 2.5 or 3 hours is optimal from comfort point of view, coffee, meals, restrooms etc. But...

You may be right about all these statistics and registrations. I was just surprised at the over 300 J1 ll advertised at the German dealers. And when I phoned a few of them the cars were most likely demo models advertised and registered in November and December. And these dealers also had quite...

Seems like the demand got Taycan is taking a tumble also in Germany. I looked the other day and there are currently about 300+ Taycan J1.ll listed at Porsche dealers And there are about 900 J1.l listed ( most used but a few new ones). And that is only the German Market! Seems like message...

I just have heard why we can see so aggressive pricing from Chinese manufacturers in a podcast. China government allow about 20% of the companies are running with losses. But the China government thinks that is great ”since it gives employment” The production of BEV’s in China is now twice...

Looking at the figures by model, Porsche certainly have a huge challenge to get the sales going for the new Macan. Worldwide nearly the same volume as the Cayenne in 2023. I do not know how the situation in other markets look like. But for me here I was told in mid year that it would be...

That has nothing to do with EV’s! That is a more fundamental problem for the UK car industry. Look at Aston Martin. They build some lovely cars, but have only made a profit a very small number of years in their over 100 year history. Can’t blame the government for that Ans I guess that the 22%...

I do not have detailed insight into the UK grid and its operations, but several sources have debunked the notion that the Grid would not cope. It state that there is enough energy available. The issue as pointed out that there is a problem to get the energy to where different interests want to...

If your use case is with so much home charging, it will be no issue at all. I only compared it to the i4, but I understand now that i4 has a different battery and charging curve to i5. I have tried to compare long trip plans in ABRP and Taycan is certainly one of the best optimised cars for...

I have also been looking at one of these. Great alternative to a Taycan in my mind. Test drove one the other week and at present in negotiation with a dealer. Great car and great technology with quite a few good deals going now. One of the best driving cars I have tested after the Taycan. My...

Looks like another click bait!

Maybe but isn’t much of what Metcalfe describes about technology, driven by a completely different generation and market? If I recall correctly the overall market is 90 million cars per year, when China has a demand for 30 Million and growing. I feel that the Chinese car are developed with a...

Well maybe there has to be a demand for them before you sell them?

Unfortunately I think that Porsche is not capable of doing that. Their overall architecture and reliance on subcontractors to have over 100 ECU’s in the car, makes it impossible in my view. They will never manage this. Love the new GT3 Touring! But SWMBO had already put her foot down.

I have never eperienced any issue when earlier importing a,Porsche to UK.from Germany. The UK Porsche centres happily performed any warranty issues on the car, without any questions. And that also meant issues with the steering wheel on the other side. So cannot believe that Porsche would have...

Interesting to see your evaluation of the i5 base model vs a Taycan. I can certainly understand the economic reasons that sound compelling. I recently had a BMW in for service and had a chance to try out a BMW i5M60. Very nicely specced car as a demo, with rear wheel steering, HUD, ACC etc. And...

Wow that sounds extremely expensive! The two garages are one for a single car plus the one in the picture that can fit two cars, before I installed cupboards etc. And I paid about 5000 Euros for the laying plus 1000 for the tiles. If you can get a Taycan so cheap, please send me one! ?? I...

I have had the Taycan in there for several wheel changes. Also Cayennes and Range Rovers. No issues at all with tiles breaking or edges damaged. I guess all of this depends on the support under the tiles. I know that the guys here put in a concrete layer with some reinforcement iron bars mesh...
