Any chance Porsche increased delivery of cars prior to tariffs in the expectation that sales would increase to beat the increase ?
The annual road tax on EVās changed in the UK on the 1st April - sales of new EVās in March were substantially up and Aprilās plummeted.
I suspect the different tyres fitted and if the pressures are high could explain the different thoughts.
I have Bridgestone Potenzaās and find the tyre noise a bit more than I expected. My previous EV had Continental Cross Climates as the Dunlop Sport Maxx standard fitting were very noisy.
I asked the sales guy today if my 2025 car required an update. Recād a call from Service and told the update was a campaign and my car booked in for a day - 30th May earliest date. They couldn't tell me what the campaign covered, just that it was a software update.
Daniel. I donāt have those issues. My departure time works - the only thing I have to be careful about is setting the charge limit so that the charge will start and finish within the cheaper rate period. To do that I have to ensure Iām not calling for more than 50kw.
Yours is the first UK car I have seen on here that has had the update. When was yours manufactured and did you get a recall or wa it done as you took the car in for the bulb ?
I use the schedule as the electricity rate per kw between midnight and 7am is a quarter of the normal rate. Initially I tried to use my third party charger to set the time - it never worked. I do all my charging at home via the App and not the car or charger.
Mine works fine but I did have 2...
Theyāve included new trip report comparing the efficiency etc for the current and previous month. I suspect the recuperation data will only be available from now when they introduced it.
The UK app does not notify or confirm whether the alarm is set or activated. You have to subscribe to the Vodafone / Porsche or other security system companies to be notified of an alarm activation - these systems are always on unless you deliberately turn them off.
The App confirms The following -
Iām puzzled that the App doesnāt notify if a door or window is open after parking up. Recently the boot was open (I think it opened because I must have pressed the button putting the key away. No notification from the App. My last 5 cars notified if a door or window was open after parking up.
Iām sure there is not a native App. One of the few options you havenāt gone with is Comfort Access. If you do option it and have Tidal selected on your phone, then it will start playing as you approach the car. When you open the door and get in, the car is ready to go and Tidal will be playing...
I wonder if battery manufacturers are expanding their R & D into battery technology to somehow reduce the dependency on Chinese āheavy metalsā and tariffs ?
Many thanks. The noise rating, as you say, is the external noise, not necessarily the quietest tyre in the car. I canāt find any meaningful data for the internal noise reading.
