Can nurses avail of BIK salary sacrifice benefits? Be nice if they could roll around in Taycans like everyone else.
Taycans are still a fairly rare sight on UK roads, and as above SS has been available in the NHS for quite some time. If you pick a vocation where the average salary is £31k you can only expect so much though as not a huge amount of tax to offset?

As for nursing what alternative careers could a person choose given their location and educational attainment. We do not all have a planned career path. I know at the age of 23 I certainly didn't. I think I was just lucky and ended up doing something I grew to really enjoy which then became my life long career.
I see way more Taycans than I would have anticipated given the cost. They are quite distinctive though.

I think it is a rather large assumption to state that a person picks a specific career. For many it will be whatever employment is available locally with relatively few alternatives.

You are aware of the qualifications required to become a nurse I assume? It's not something you just fall into.As for nursing what alternative careers could a person choose given their location and educational attainment. We do not all have a planned career path.

Yes I am and know several at various grades albeit mostly more mature. Clearly we are talking now, well post 2008ish and a couple of decades ago entry requirements were lower. Of the 700K nurses circa 70% fall into pre degree requirement category.You should also remember that a nurse in 2010 was relatively much better off than they are now.
After my degree I had no idea what I wanted to do like many of my graduate mates.

The UK is the 2nd biggest market for Taycans in the world (it was based upon 2021 sales anyhow) and the UK in 2021 was Porsche's 4th biggest market globally (in terms of sales of all of their models in the UK) As for nursing what alternative careers could a person choose given their location and educational attainment.

if anyone wants to see tens of taycan as a time, head to your local porsche dealer, they're all outside being fixed or awaiting parts! im glad in a way, my M3 long range goes back in December and i hope to get into a taycan 4 . i just need to work out if i can stand the loss of range, efficiency and i can avoid potential borkage!
i know of 4 or 5 people who have various tunes of taycan (company owners) and the reliability is atrocious, no wonder why porsche have appeared as the most unreliable car brand in the UK.

I only had the 4S for a little over 3 months but it never missed a beat and for a big lump handled really well. Not in UK though. im glad in a way, my M3 long range goes back in December and i hope to get into a taycan 4 . i just need to work out if i can stand the loss of range, efficiency and i can avoid potential borkage!

What do the other few thousand Taycan owners in the UK think about reliability? Just wondering whether the 5 people you know are representative? im glad in a way, my M3 long range goes back in December and i hope to get into a taycan 4 . i just need to work out if i can stand the loss of range, efficiency and i can avoid potential borkage!

Dunno but my brother is on first name terms with his service dept (not in a good way) and didn’t even bother putting his in for the heating replacement when it went early in the winter because his dealer told him frankly there were 50+ others sat there and a delay on parts.He’s had it done just recently after hardly using the car all winter.
Thats on a 2020 TS.

They're not rare, see them all the time and I live in a pretty poor area. If you pick a vocation where the average salary is £31k you can only expect so much though as not a huge amount of tax to offset?
Probably the most common Porsche you actually see on the roads.

It's all relative at the end of the day, compared to Model 3/Model Y they're a fairly rare sight. And I was responding to this hyperbolic post, for context.
