Porsche aren’t the only ‘prestige’ manufacturing having to rethink the EV policy. Jaguar closed production of all cars to launch their new wholly EV range. They recently quietly let it be known that they are exploring a hybrid which will be a range extender (REEV) as it will have a very small...

I swapped the original Bridgestones for Pirelli Scorpion MS as I was disappointed by the noise from the Bridgestones. The Pirelli are much quieter and for my driving I didn’t notice any change in grip or ‘feel’ - that said I‘m not a ‘ performance driver’. With the relatively mild winters we...

No written report. I received a video by the technician showing tyres etc all good and he said he had installed the update. When I collected it, I was told it was the fastest and untroubled one they had done - I’ll ask again if it was a full update

Yes a Porsche Dashcam but hardwired and had it since new so unlikely to be the cause now.

Contrary to others - in the UK Despite my mobile having a good 5G signal the car’s sim is still showing 4G Could be linked to the car not recognising 5G, only since the upgrade the nav now takes time to turn on and display - was always on when I entered before via the comfort access Since the...

I had my car updated Monday. 4 hours later they said I could collect now if I didn’t want it valeted. They said it was the smoothest they had done. There was 3 others in for it the same day.

I had the opposite. I ordered a 4 and after the dealer told me there had been a cancellation on a 4S which was about to be ‘frozen’ so got my spec and 3 months earlier. May be worth asking your sales rep any chance of a cancelled 4S built to your spec.

As other cars charge there then surely the issue is in the car. When you plug in what colour light do you get ? As it may be a location based issue, have you tried activating location based charging - During location-dependent charging, the high-voltage battery is automatically charged at a...

You have proved it’s not the voltage as the Turbo charged - the system can’t be overly sensitive or require a precise voltage not least as the voltage in the U.K, Europe, USA are all different !

I had the same issue with my previous EV. Lexus paid me the difference between home charging at (UK) £ 0.07 / kw and public at £ 0.85 / kw

Roll Mode is for this. Roll mode Roll mode is used to make the vehicle rollable, e.g. for car washes or to push it. Activating roll mode Readiness for operation established or vehicle ready for operation Press the brake pedal. Engage gear N. Follow the operating instructions on the central...

I have never been able to turn the steering wheel in park or neutral.

Agreed - it’s probably not as comfortable or roomy as a Rolls Royce either !

The real killer of range is the heating. Every time I put the heating on the range dives by up to 50 miles !

To get such poor service (unbelievable the car could be returned with the roof rubber hanging down) did you sleep with the service mangers wife ? Have you sent the photos to Porsche Customer Service ?
