I assume all software engineers are currently working "hard" to get the software for the curved display over the finishing line. They will keep on beating the dead horse (sorry, wrong phrase as this software platform was never really alive) until joint venture with Rivian bears fruits.

It's a tough one, I looked at the GTS and really like the subtle changes. In a world that has been significantly shaped by the iPhone, most of us expect free GUI upgrades (not necessarily functionality, but improved usability and reliability) over a certain period of time. Some of these changes...

It exists, not a big problem unless you face 10 plus speed bumps in short succession on your street ;-). Never had a problem with mine (off-road one) or on loaners but when I see some parking bays at shopping centres it’s really easy to damage front lip. An SUV is an SUV, if you want a sports...

You are being sarcastic aren’t you?

This was exactly my problem. We test drove a few Macan and only Macan RWD had no such behaviour. Must have been without PASM according to document. Wonder if this is now fixed for MY26 or even worse for GTS? Standard front lip is way too low for SUV and speed bumps in my area are way too high...

Emden is a smaller German port with not to many car carriers. Just use a ship tracking site and look which carriers just left after you get milestones.

Sorry to hear but 27th wouldn’t be so bad after all as you would get 26 reg in March. Around December they had problems transferring cars from port to dealer. Worth checking.

@MatC21 Same in Greater London area though still more Taycan in the city. In comparison, seeing an EQS is like a black swan event.

The Ice is mine🤣 Thought dealer would have changed specs (not to everyones taste) after I went for Cayenne.

In UK the debate will start again when majority is driving EVs. Current Uk government is slowing down new builds of charging stations and I don’t think current grid would be able to handle charging load over night. On top of that, some countries will have increased their renewable energy...

There is an EQS prototype running since a couple of months but it’s a new technology with some challenges. I expect first to come out in 28/29. It‘s a little like PC‘s in early years, not doubling range every 2 years but 1/3 range increase every 2-4 years seems realistic. Eventually they will...

Porsche DNA doesn’t mix well with EV on long distance drives. There is a reason why some EV manufacturers limit top speed. Not really a problem in UK and USA as the government nannies your driving. Back in Germany I probably wouldn’t buy an electric Porsche but here in UK advantages outweigh...

Altitude differences does have quite an impact (daily school run up and down the hill). More so, driving style. On a 10 miles city drive home from dealer I managed significantly less than 3 (excited, new car) whereas technician collecting car (red circle of death) managed 4.0 on way back.

I like to think this is a common assumption but there is no Perpetuum mobile :CWL: 1) Energy consumption increases exponentially with speed due to aerodynamic drag. I would like to see figures for how many miles Taycan GT can run at top speed. Top speed in EV's is a gimmick. Yes, the...
