I believe it's still 3 years, yes.

OK, that is normal. It'll be interesting to see if it pre-heats if the charger is an actual destination.

I'm finding it hard to understand what you claim somebody made up?

Can you confirm that when you say the battery pre-heated, was it as part of a longer journey and the Porsche Charging Planner chose those chargers as a charging stop, or did you select a charger as a destination? On the Taycan, the latter doesn't pre-heat. I also don't know why there's no...

If it's anything like the Taycan, you won't be able to tell it which charge stops to use. The best you can do is navigate to somewhere immediately adjacent to the charge stop and hope it selects your desired charge stop. Also, if it's like the Taycan, navigating directly to a charger will not...

Because it takes the topography to your destination into account. The range meter shows one of two things: 1) remaining range based on previous driving (when navigation is NOT active). 2) remaining range based on the route to your destination (when navigation is active). When navigation is...

It's always more efficient to coast as you have to consume more energy getting back up to the original speed than what you gain with the regen due to heat loss. Where regen *is* useful is when you have to brake, as the energy used to slow the car would otherwise be lost, but then you get regen...

I need to update that list! The 330e was replaced by an i5 eDrive40 in June. The C Class is on lease and I'd pay a penalty if I gave it back now. It's a good car, though, used by my wife. And the monthly payments are far lower than if I signed the lease today due to interest rates.

It's a cheek if they "wouldn't" provide specifics. I'd tell them "no thanks" and go elsewhere.

Because I want to own and try as many cars as I can before I peg it. There are reasons for chaning to a Macan Turbo such as that, but also it's a better car day to day for me, and also for my family. It's a no-win situation. I want to change and I don't want to change. If I do nothing I'll be...

I currently own a (Jul 23) Taycan GTS ST in Mamba Green. Last week I ordered a Macan Turbo to replace it after a 20 minute test drive. Yesterday I had the Macan Turbo again, this time for two and a half hours. Ever since I've had buyer's remorse. I thought getting the Turbo would remove the...

Maybe I'm spoiled in Europe, but long distance road trips using 350 kW EVSEs are a breeze. I realise it may not be the same in North America.

It's not about not wanting the best of both worlds, but people making strange choices for the sake of a few miles of range, such as picking the most efficient rims as opposed to the rims that look the best. People have never done that for ICE cars, yet wide tyres on ICE cars have the same impact...

The UK uses miles. As an aside, I never understand why people are obsessed with range on electric cars.

It's quite normal for all manufacturers to do this. And why is it ridiculous? How can people get to see examples of a new model if they don't have any sat in showrooms? And not just new models. Dealerships need to have stock in for two reasons: to have physical examples of cars so people have an...

I own a Taycan GTS with the Race-Tex steering wheel. It's 16 months old (12,000km), and the steering wheel is like new. I actually think it's in better condition than an equivalent leather steering wheel would be at this stage. I was quite prepared to get SONAX products to keep it looking good...

Just been told by my dealer that illuminated door sills may delay the order. I've ordered the dark aluminium.

Placed my order three days ago. Macan Turbo, due to be built early December for delivery early January. Wouldn't normally go with a subdued colour like Volcano Grey, but I saw one with the Turbonite elements and it looks superb. Classy and luxurious. PS6B5XR5

This is an EU regulation mandated since July 2024. The speed warning is allowed to be disabled, but it must reactivate every time the car is started. All cars have this. I plan to use the diamond button to deactivate this.
