- My Porsche Taycan EV Electric Car Crashed like a PC, and this is supposed to be the future? Is Electric the future? Are EV's going to take over the internal combustion engine? Are mechanics a thing of the past and are they going to be replaced by I.T. Technicians?

Hi i love your channel... my names darren im from belfast i noticed you done an Irish breakfast but that was in the south of ireland you must come too northern ireland... or breakfast here is called an Ulster fry you must try this not gonna get into the political side but you must come too the north and try some food.
@@darrenrankin2486 monaghan has the best ulster fry ;)
@@dobrien757 Not at all Belfast has the best 100%
@Robert Thorpe and there we have it im talking about food and you get political.... all i will say is if you think the people in ulster will lay down and let that happen then you are a fool.... id rather not see another war tbh.
@@dobrien757 to be fair i have never had a fry in monaghan. I have in Dublin and Dundalk and didnt like it wasnt the same.. its just what your used too i suppose.
97% of EVs are still on the road. The rest actually made it home.
lol nice one
Around 1999 I used to travel from Rhyl to Calais and Adenkirk via Dover 400 miles then return same day in cheap diesel Citroen bangers.This would be impossible in these modern glorified milk floats.
And it a cost you 70k for one
@Wooly Chewbakker Wake up Mr NetZero.
Get yourself a nice restored MG. No electronics no computers. Proper automotive engineering.
I’m new (3days) but I’m already addicted. Your EV troubles are entertaining. 🤣🤣🤣
Your mates right, get rid of the EV and get a petrol/diesel car.
Just wait until the computer can't do Software updates, and you are forced to buy a new one. Premature Obsolescence is a thing now with Phones, tv, Tablets and computers. I sure Cars won't be any different.
100% correct
You could have more joy driving a Dyson Hoover!🤣. " Well Onwards my friend!"
I absolutely love the fact that electric cars are so horrendous 😫
Britain becoming a country size scalextric track lol
£18,000 for the replacement batteries on that Porsche, I couldn’t believe it, I’m not sure I would have put £18,000 in a petrol one in the time I’ve had it, I’m gutted 😢.
The government were talking about power saving and power cuts over winter....What happens when there's millions of these things plugged in overnight.
Basically people will get up in the morning and find out they have no hot water, no lights and can't even boil a kettle.
Lee called Porche's IT department and the first thing they said is... "Have you tried turning it off and back on again" 😎
Lol. 😂
The need to register for the London congestion charge exemption is obvious when you think about it. Each £20 adds up, so if 10 million people register that's another £200 million in the bank. Add to that all the fines off people who didn't realise that you had to register - and I bet that's a very large number of people - and there's a few more million quid. Nice little earner, or as I prefer to call it, scam.
The blue windscreen of death.
I never laughed so much since my mother-in-laws backside caught fire!
A good excuse if you are late for an interview or work 'sorry i'm late i've got an electric car!'
I went to an electric car event near me not long ago, and not many cars there. I said they probably stuck somewhere and guy running event just laughed, I was been serious
Imagine someone trying to get to work or get to a job or meeting and the bloody EV crashes. At least with a combustion engine you can jump start or phone the AA/RAC. Wouldn't have a EV if it was given to me at 99% discount, you just cannot depend on them.
No different to the alternator going on a petrol/diesel car. Internal combustion engines breakdown regularly as well you know! 🤦
@@andrewlaw Not disputing that but most fo the time you will know if your alternator belt has snapped or your battery is pushing less volts. Even with an OBD2 you will know what is wrong in seconds. However with the spinning wheel of doom on Lee's Porsche the jury is out.
When you got that car I thought you had made a really good choice but the more I see it just seems to be one big headache, its a pity as it is such a nice looking car 🚗. I think EVs do have a place in society as a shopping/city car where you can charge them at home overnight and then do a few few miles over the next few days around town, an EV just would not work fir me and I certainly wudnt have the patience constantly looking for charging points. Like Darren John says "go back to petrol":)
I think if I had an electric car and it broke down I would just contact the aa/rac just like I would in any vehicle.
If it ran out of charge its just the same as running out of fuel ⛽
My aa cover is for any vehicle 3.5 tonnes or under
I could never afford an EV and to me its an image thing. Look at me i'm saving the planet. I can afford to pay for am EV even though none of it makes sense Lee I hope you get this car replaced. This can't be good advertising for Porsche
I still laugh when I picture John Cleese on an old episode of Fawlty Towers getting out of his car which stalled out and started flogging it.
The internal combustion engine, it’s still the future
Is this really the future, electric vehicles RIP long live the combustion engine
I’ll stick with my dirty diesel for now
Sorry to say, ev is about as practical as an ashtray on DJs new motorbike.
Omg lee what a journey , well all I can say is GET RID !!! 👍👍
Every EV trip dominated by worrying whether you can get home again.No thanks!
just wait until they have road tax on your electric bill....
I used to got to poland gave dinner with my friend make some money and comeback the same day . That’s 1000km in one shot with one visit at petrol station . Last weak my kids went to coma on the back seat while we were 1560 km from the target , they woke up to greet me at the finish line . With EV I would need psychiatrist on the back seat, three days and lots of cash that todays petrol prices would look just funny .
I live in Leeds and often have to drive down to London, so find it interesting hearing your comparisons of the A1 and M1. If I'm doing the round trip I like to take one route down and the other back, mixing it up for variety. The A1 is generally better in rush hour, although there are some bits that get snarled up, eg at Newark. It's generally a more mellow, relaxing route, and I enjoy its ancient history. It's got more character, boarded up diners included, than the soulless and boring M1! That said, there are some things about the A1 that aren't great, such as all the at-grade crossroads (you'd need to be a kamikaze to attempt turning right across two lanes of traffic speeding directly towards you at 70mph!). Plus, south of the A14, the A1 soon becomes significantly more bendy and semi-urban in places, with houses fronting onto the road at Sandy. In terms of services, you have a fair few service areas such as Colsterworth, Markham Moor and Peterborough, plus several standalone petrol stations and coffee shops. The Starbucks at Markham Moor occupies the distinctive "butterfly"-shaped building that was once upon a time a Little Chef.
The whole EV model is a big con, they are not green at all! Even manufacturers say you have to drive one 60000 miles before it breaks even on fossel fuels!! Due to manufacturing costing so much. FFS people need to wake up most electicity is produced by fossel fuels anyway.
I always take the old A1 when going north. It's like our version of highway 66. It's a more relaxing and has a seedy charm.
I never wanted an EV in the first place, you've now completely made my mind up. I totally agree with you on the cameras as well, I thought Dick Turpin was long gone!
Why you continually suffer the hassle from that expensive piece of crap is beyond me.
I love the spinning wheel of death.
What you need to do mate, is carry a diesel generator in your boot just in case 😉
It's for the greater good Lee, the greater good ;)
John Cleese had the right idea..... A damn good thrashing !!!! 🤣👌
Commiserations Lee. I was interested in what you said about the job security of traditional mechanics. When the car was invented it was the village blacksmith that often turned into a garage. Time for mechanics to start upskilling.
I have a 996 (911) for 19 years as a daily driver and had no major problems and never let me down.
Keep it. Never let it go.
One word, flask, make loadsa coffee before you leave the house.
No need to pay Buckstars' inflated prices.
What is it with folk who can't go two hours without eating ?
Thanks for testing it! Everyone else will get the benefit of your struggles in the distant future
Lee for God sake get rid of that car absolute crap
The joys of having a EV! Probably needing a software update. Hopefully that should fix the gremlins Lee, great video 👍
Road taxes are not dedicated to road infrastructure, just more tax for the 'unhypothicated' money pit.
I work in IT, and one of my biggest gripes is error messages that just say 'Error', without giving you any clue whatsoever about what the issue actually is. Sure, a car is an appliance, and not every user wants gory techie details, and what Porsche obviously *want* you to do is take it to a dealer who can plug in diagnostics or something, but if it's going to present you with a spinny wheel, you should at least be able to dig down into the menus or something, and get some more information about what's going on.
Honestly I would not have your car even if you were giving it away 😂… What a carry on, I would find this very stressful. Sell it immediately 😂😂
We had some topless coffee drive ups for a while. Maybe an answer for your A1 adult store.😂
Computer is initialising and after 1 hour the computer said no. 🤷🏻♂️
What hassle. Blimey get rid of it. Good Vlog
It's such a great looking car. With an engine it'd be perfect!
The A1 is brilliant it takes me back to the good old days when motoring was cheap and fun. It's our highway #66
I am surprised that a wise man like you fell for this electric car con, I love my little petrol car that will take me from London to Blackpool without stopping.
@@mofomat You don’t have to “search” for a petrol station in London, you will normally spot one within 5 minutes. My little petrol car cost me £11K with 50 miles on the clock, a similar size EV would be nearer to £22K, as a low mileage motorist it would take me ten years just to break level. EVs may be ideal for some people but not for me, I would rather pour sawdust in my eyes.
Well said,so many people are being conned by these EVs.
I think people are buying them to impress friends,look at me I am saving the planet. VIRTUE SIGNALING I THINK IS THE TERM😊
Leave it to England to find a way to tax the air that you breathe.
Funny thing. The Congestion charge was supposed reduce traffic, therefore reduce emissions. But with EV’s having it free, they are adding to the clogging up the road. So IMO, EV’s should be charged.
Congestion charge was always just another tax
Reset button might be under the spare wheel. Oh God no spare wheel. Optional like the charger lead. “Get a 911” 😂
Your spot on the depletion of mechanics is spot on. I work on my own vehicle saving $. The auto parts stores would go away as well, sadly.
Lee thank you !!!!! For telling us the future !
There's no road tax to pay on EV'S at the moment, but as soon as enough is on
the road that will change, recently I read an article about a man who was driving
along in his 2021 Tesla Model Y, when the car suddenly lost power and shut
down completely, seconds later with the words '' Error, Error, Error,'' Flashing on
the screen, smoke started coming through the air vents,
The doors wouldn't open, The windows wouldn't go down, the man had to kick
out the glass on the window to climb out and escape from the fire, as soon as
he exit the car battery exploded burning the car to ashes. Phew that was lucky
for the man in question. Thanks for another enjoyable video.
...and fire fighters were probably unable to put out the fire, since you literally have to drown the entire car in water for a very long time to put out a metal fire!
@@artphotognh Surely it would be an electrical fire, in which case water would be not good
The problem is too much freakin government.
Loving the vids! Really entertaining and informative.
Like you say at around 18 mins, having charging points at roadside services would be a boon to drag in customers. I'm amazed that these roadside areas aren't all gagging to get in chargers!? It would be like a magnet drawing in empty EV road users and their coffee tokens.
Oh no, i couldn't cope with all that.
Plattsburgh, NY USA, population 2020, 19,841 starting to put traffic cameras at every traffic light. Guess why. (Cameras are positioned so they can get a good picture of the vehicle drivers, as well as the license plate number. Problem with that being some states and provinces around this area don't all have or require front license plates.)
Traffic cameras in Texas were banned in 2020 and were gone statewide 6 months later.
Switch it off and switch it back on again!🤔😲🤣🤪
DJ is a wise man. Be like DJ 😉
Blue Screen of Death on an EV. Oh my! Wouldn't have the patience for that mate
Looks like hard work to me.
Instead of a sunroof put solar panels on the roof.
You've got to get a proper car for long journeys , less stress
Now if it was a Volkswagen beetle I could understand it avin bugs! 😂
Nice to see you came to my neck of the woods. If i had seen you we could have swapped tales from Tenerife, my favourite holiday destination
I can't breath Lee your outtakes are so funny thanks Lee you have cheared me up .
With the price of electricity going up how long is it going to be cheaper to run an electric car?
Good vlog. I mentioned to you ages ago maybe you should consider a hybrid. But great video as usual, taking us on your road trip. Im looking foward to watching your John O Groats to Lands End vlogs when I get round to them. Cheers Mr MacMaster. 👍.
I just bought a nice car, and I'm excited when drive it. I would hate to dread driving an electric car.
So London charging a fee already just to register disgusting 🤮
is there a hole on the dash you can stick a pin in to reset it, or maybe take the battery out, breath on it, rub it on your trousers then put it back in again 🤣
Oh my! This is seriously not good. Am amazed you actually managed to arrive at Darren John’s x
Can see the steam coming out your ears! DJ is right! Clue's in the title, "future" Loved your live with him. Can't wait to see the duke 🏍🏍
I had a Tesla Model 3 LR for 15 months. I was offered what I paid for it. Loved the car but like you have shown you have to spend time charging enroute. The updates on Tesla were brilliant and resets were scarce and very quick. Not the future though. I am back to diesel with no anxiety.
Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, "see you later, just going for a SPIN in the car" 😂😂😂
Your observation about the lack of charging points is valid, and important.
If we really are going fully electric in 10 years or so - this needs to be fixed.
My view is - its all about profit.
Private companies aren't going to spend millions building all these charge points until they've got the customers to use them and thereby generate profit....
Building all the chargepoints now, before the millions of electric vehicles to use them are on the road, is obviously a loss making exercise.
So that leaves the government: are they going to start this huge building program?
Great Review , you are the only Balanced EV reviewer , the others act as if they are part of a cult
Only mentioning EV positives while pretending negatives don't exist
That's the problem with modern cars: there are so many electronic toys in there that there's just simply more to go wrong. My car is diesel... But it is fully loaded with every toy you can imagine including keyless entry.
It used to have a very peculiar quirk - where I would get in the car and then I couldn't start the engine: there was a message came up on the - saying "no key detected" Effin strange as it had detected the key 30 seconds earlier to open the door 🤣
Fortunately, it was 'fixed' by using the key buttons to lock and unlock the doors. Then it starts.
Mr Macmaster...talk about the stress ypu must be having to tolerate just for running an electric car...as I've said before it people want one they can have one..but don't try &,,talk me into having one...we allnhave a choice..& mine is ro stay with a combustion engine..excellent video & keep up the great work 👍
I still find it extraordinary, you have to buy the cable. 😱
Get on the back of Darren johns motorbike off the charts
Great insight 👍 good videos
Yes. There's one 10 mins from me between Baldock and Biggleswade on the A1
Sorry, we love the Ok Diner. The Newark one is our regular stop off on the way to Leeds and beyond. Best milkshakes ever
London charges will double and treble in the next 15 years, after EVs are everywhere. As you well know, its what Governments do.. Very informative blog. Cheers mac. 😊😊🏴🇫🇷
Great One Lee . Never Had A Electric Car ,Never Will , Happy With My One "DACIA" .Love The Out Takes At The End ."STAY SAVE" Pal
I bet the guys at Porsche Nottingham are loving these videos 😂😂😂
The car's battery will last longer than the tin bits of the car. It's like asking how much would it cost to replace the car body to fit your fully working battery into.
Nice vid Lee 😊👍
Electric cars can cause congestion as much as ICE cars so why should they be they exempt from the charge?
@Nig ☺ Precisely. I bought a hybrid based partly on the salesman's assurance that it was exempt from the C-charge. The reality was that it qualified for 100% discount, which is not quite the same thing and which was promptly withdrawn by TfL less than a year later when they moved the goalposts. EVs and plug-in hybrids will not only congest the roads just like any other car, they will add to it by extended occupation of the parking spaces/charge points that other drivers are driving around in circles searching for. Just as well the rail workers are satisf . . . . .
So if it breaks down completely it gets trailered back to the dealer?
To be honest Lee. Why would anyone buy an electric car when…..
1. They cost so much
2. If you travel any distance you can’t be sure of a charging point that works
3. The ridiculous cost of having the adapter to charge it at home installed
4. More electrics to go wrong
5. Not totally environmentally friendly
6. Always have to carry a compatible charging cable
7. Not widely useable abroad
@@mofomat I have a leaf that several things have gone wrong with. I also have a Mercedes E class, which nothing has gone wrong with ?
Morn hun definitely get a 911 and get rid of that headache. More trouble than it's worth at least porceh will see it. They watch the channel. So they can see it first hand. Lovely to see DJ xxx
Surely Graham Linehan could write a comedy about this - The EV Crowd.
If you left at 5.30 how far and how long did it take, I wouldn't have waited for the Sat Nav to return just carried on if possible, however I did change from diesel to petrol at Christmas. Good luck getting any where else in that thing.
The government needs to realise that myself and a lot of other people have noticed that EVs aren't the future and therefore we will never buy one, the government really should be looking into hydrogen powered vehicle's just like Japan did as its a lot easier to install hydrogen pump's at filling station's and that way it would still only take roughly the same time to fill as a petrol/diesel vehicle does.
I wouldn't worry about battery replacement Lee as an EV battery lasts between 10-20 years and by then you would have got yourself a newer EV 😁
