@@PalleRunquist-d5c, the point I wanted to know was why Porsche was shutting his car down. The actually truth is Porsche isn't shutting his car down, just turning some features off because they are subscription based features. I suspect he could have found this out before buying the car. Reading through the Owner's Manual would probably have revealed these subscription based features. It's a new day and age. Cars have come with subscription based features for at least 20 years now (XM radio for example), and asking about the subscription based features that are in a car would be a prudent move. I will admit that I didn't know how many subscription based features new cars are coming with now but I will be sure to ask about them when we buy our next car.

@@karlp8484​​⁠I concur. There are a few really good cars, and a few decent car companies. Toyota and Honda are reliable, but I’ve never owned either. I have had several Fords, SAABs and Volvos. Volvo is no longer Volvo, and GM destroyed SAAB. My 1999 SAAB 93 auto Cabriolet has less than 80,000 on the clock. It only does 20mpg, and the roof leaks, but I bought it for less than £1000, and it’s going UP in value…!! Buying a Porsche is like going into one of those shops with the windows covered in pink, black and gold, and coming out with a product ‘GUARANTEED’ to increase the size of your member. But in reality, all it does is announce to everyone what an embarrassingly tinycockyouare. My brother has had several 911s. He once tried to explain why his new steering rack cost £5,000 by claiming it was “a hand built car”…! Hand built by robots in Stuttgart on the most famous automated production line IN THE WORLD!🙄🧐😎😜

Not that stupid. Watch the video I am going to make about how much this video made and also the video of my EV that gained over 1 million views. MAYBE the car has payed for itself!

This is the future! People are falling for it. This is how they will get more people off the road. You will own nothing and be happy, start grinning!

Had a similar “ransomware” email from BMW a couple of years ago. They wanted over £300 to continue using similar features. Went to the dealer, thinking it was a scam and they confirmed it was genuine. Sold the car and won’t buy another BMW. Check before you buy.

[@MartinWatterston]

Don't understand this guy, car isn't getting shut down at all only the services he wants to use, Tesla do the same, bmw have done subscription services for years, he must have known it was subscription based when he bought it? My Volvo petrol charges me yearly for map updates does that mean you shouldn't buy petrol? What about the diesel version? don't buy diesel..........No, just don't listen to this guy moaning about how much money his porsche is costing him, nobody forced him to buy it and if he didnt do his research beforehand how does that make him an expert.

This is why I never buy new, always buy long-proven machines made in high volume (which ensures aftermarket support), and would never buy a modern German vehicle. I'm a mechanic who knows better. German vehicles in the US are for aspirationals who buy for the image.

BMW are doing the same with their feature subscription, it's nothing to do with EV's its to do with corporate greed. Bash EV's all you like but it's purely down to the manufacturers, all modern cars are connected nowadays

Bragging over no road tax but lost 90 k in 3 years I bought a ford fusion 6 years ago as a run around for 400 quid with four brand new tyres Still going strong and just passed MOT again No that's saving the planet not all this electric crap When will people realise ITS A CON WAKE UP

So the next owner gets stung for all the subscription charges, MoTs, no discounted charging, and has no warranty. No wonder Taycan’s are depreciating so badly - it’s as much about Porsche’s rip off business model for second hand cars over 3 years old as it is the horrific EV depreciation.

Unbelievable! I watch everything you do, proper cheers me up but I’m not big on cars. I drive a 2009 Skoda Octavia diesel with 208000 miles on the clock. A full tank gives me 600 miles plus and so it costs me nothing, in real terms. Oh, it cost me £1400 in lockdown. The best investment I’ve made. You loosing 90K is like me loosing 70 cars! Get back to a real car…

[@mikebreen2890]

My car weighs about the same as a 3 series BMW, most of my fuel is excess solar from my roof. The UK grid is now over 50 percent renewables and increasing. Lastly, due to the efficiency of an electric motor versus horribly inefficient ICE even a coal powered EV is cleaner than ICE. Next year my EV will be cleaner still because the gid will be.

Owning and driving a car is now a cash cow for the government and a cash drain for most people. Unfortunately, public transport in this country is so poor and expensive that most of us don't have a viable choice. It is all about control, driven by financial gains for the government and their private company/individual funders.

You can go into google maps and it will give you the location and information of all EV charging stations? For free

TThe car works just fine without Porsche Connect. Nobody is shutting down your car. This is nothing special for the Taycan or EVs in general. It's the same for all Porsche cars and for most Audi's as well.

I sold our Prius over a decade ago when I discovered they wanted over £300 periodically to update the satnav, which just happened to be the price of a Garmin with free updates. This is nothing new. When the 5 years of updates expires on our Honda I won't care because Android integration works so well nowadays. Now here's a hint: there are two Porsches. One was a company that made air cooled sports cars, which today are very valuable. You could service them yourself, in fact they provided a toolkit. You just needed an inspection pit in your garage and you could do just about anything. They also made a liquid cooled mid engine sports car which with a bit more knowledge you could also maintain yourself. The other Porsche is a division of VAG and needs to be avoided unless you are OK with the rule I was once told by a German engineer: Never buy a Porsche unless you can afford to buy three.
