Re: Taycan...any owners on here? Talk to me...

I am always amazed how anti-EV this forum is. I have a Taycan and it is a fantastic car. I had a Macan for 5 years and enjoyed it but to my mind the Taycan looks better, drives better, performs better and I have no regrets buying it. It isn't an SUV and if you want an SUV then obviously it is not fo...

Re: Luton airport car park fire - started in an ICE car

I'm just in the process of booking somewhere at Heathrow T5 for 10 days next April. Thinking their Long Stay T5 looks tempting. It's outdoor :D, keep the keys :D, shuttle bus :( .... with luck I can avoid parking close to any EVs! :lol: Suggestions of better options welcome... Well based on the evi...

Luton airport car park fire - started in an ICE car

I am amazed that people haven’t yet been speculating that an EV started the fire, but it looks like it was a diesel. ICE cars - dangerous things. Should be banned!

Re: Marine Car Transport Ship Fire

Why does everyone jump to the conclusion it was an EV when there is no evidence for it. Anyone see this report of a ship fire? Probably not, because there wasn’t an EV on board to blame. But it burned for a week and 2 fire fighters died. Time will tell what caused this one https://apnews.com/article...

Re: Taycan test drive

I do like to come back to the Macan forum from time to time. It amuses me how anti-EV so many of you are. I really can’t be bothered to try and debunk some of the myths though. So just enjoy your EV bashing and I will enjoy driving mine 🙂 Hoping that your Taycan remains reliable & trouble-free,...

Re: Taycan test drive

£600 for my insurance which can’t be bad for a car with almost 600 bhp and costs over £120k. That cover was purchased 2 weeks ago. Also it was a lot cheaper to go with a single car policy rather than add to my multi car policy. Who did you insure with? That certainly sounds a good price for a Tayca...

Re: Taycan test drive

I’m also a private buyer. My decision was based upon wanting another Porsche, needing space for two teenagers and 2 small dogs and wanting a car rather than a SUV. the fact it runs on electric isn’t my reason but having another EV for the last two years I do enjoy the instant power and low running ...

Re: Taycan test drive

So to answer a few questions... So far it has been reliable. I have actually had 2. I started with a 4S and at the time there was a massive chip shortage then the waits went up to >1 year so I put down a deposit on a second one. Couldn't get a 4S in a sensible timescale so ordered a Turbo. My thinki...
