Crossing the arctic circle in Norway in a Porsche Taycan Turbo S

Over the years we’ve shared a series of detailed EV road-trip reports on the Taycan Forum, documenting our long-range European adventures and the evolving realities of travelling electrically across the continent.

These journeys became unexpectedly popular reads within the community, covering everything from winter storms in the Arctic Circle to long summer runs through the Alps, fjords, Scottish Highlands and Western Europe.

Below is a curated list of those original threads, grouped by year, that shaped our early road-tripping story before we moved to the 911 Targa.

The Roadster Aluminum

Porsche Communications Manager (PCM) in a Porsche 911

In defence of the PCM vs Apple CarPlay

After moving to a 911, I expected to use CarPlay full-time, but PCM Navigation proved far better for multi-stop trips. Its clear overview of distance, ETA, stops, and disruptions makes it more useful than CarPlay’s next-stop-only focus, so PCM remains my go-to on longer journeys.

What we miss about our Taycan Turbo S

After a few weekends with our 911 Targa, we’ve realised what we miss about the Taycan Turbo S: the quiet comfort on long drives, effortless climate control while parked, smooth traffic moments without start/stop drama, and the total lack of brake dust.

Our Porsche 911 Targa Luggage Kit

Two crayon cases up front and two red cases in the rear give us 180L of luggage—surprisingly more than the 160L we carried in the Taycan, though now in-cabin.
