- Is the Porsche Taycan still the ultimate performance EV ? A simple question that need a proper test. I took the Taycan on a road trip to see how far I could get on a charge, took it to an ultra rapid charge and of course did a launch control !

Another cracking video. In a time where Taycan’s are getting a bit of a slating for their residuals, this video truly highlights how capable and well made they are. Well done 👍
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
My old '91 MK2 Golf GTi 16v was Oak Green. Great car, great colour
Nice 👌
Yes, really suits the mk2 Golf
Yep same here, loved that Golf 16v!!
Assuming you have an EV tariff at home, that 270mi Cotswold journey will have cost you about £6. That’s a major advantage of owning an EV with home charging 👍
Yes, exactly 👍
73 plates autotrader 7k miles 53k thats the propblem
@@dal68x the tax incentives to buy new is the problem.
@@beano6452 but if you have to charge while away from home, it’s dearer than petrol. Westmorland Services in Cumbria on the M6 fast charging tariff is 67p/Kw. So your Taycan would cost £67 to fill up! Ouch!
shame about £80k depreciation over 2 years, kind of offsets the fuel saving lol
Some important points you raised which many non-EV commentators don’t realise, or media report which isn’t real world case.
-> People get these cars on business schemes and are not paying RRP, or losing nowhere large amounts of money.
-> Charging discounts - many EV makers offer charging point discounts. I also get discounted rates. So the advertised higher price per kWh is rarely paid.
You are the first RUclipsr I’ve seen actually mention and use the Porsche Ionity discount.
see the McMaster. He has covered this for some time.
Individuals aren’t losing since these schemes are subsidised by the tax payer .
@@richierich9761- not subsided, people just pay less tax
@@SDK2006b When tax relief was applied to mortgage repayments it was described as a subsidy - it may not seem fair but generally governments not taking tax off you for something is deemed a subsidy - I don't like it any better than you but there you go.
@@ColinMill1 - the current policy is low pollution producing vehicles get lower tax applied.
Basically, you’re saying anyone or anything not paying the highest rate of tax is subsidised. So using this methodology, any PAYE person not paying the top rate of tax is subsidised 🤔
Any vehicle owner not paying the top VED bracket is subsidised. Really 🤷🏼♂️
Hello Peter.
What a car! The performance figures for the Taycan are mind blowing, that car would blow away the fastest road motor bikes. The colour is stunning and the interior colour is perfection. I think the truffle leather will age beautifully.
A really impressive car with a fantastic specification. Not sure how much a practical car it is but shows what EVs can do!
Thanks 🙏🏻
I love these , they are just so engaging the sound from the engine is mesmerising.
Hi Pete, the fastest charging curve for a 350kw charger on the Taycan gen 2 is about 5%-62% . Stopping to charge at 20% is a bit early. Run it done to 5% then charge to just over 60%, unplug and move on.
👍
@@PetrolPed also Oak Green Metallic Neo is still slightly different to the original PTS Oak Green Metallic.
I think it does the 5-62% in 12 minutes. Incredible.
I love my Taycan 4s. I miss the driver engagement of an actual sports car as there’s very little joy in driving fast in a Taycan. Charging is amazing, and I get 300+ miles from a charge in the summer so rarely use the charge card, but when I have it’s been exactly as shown. Have to say the turbo S courtesy car I was given was another level to mine. Great review
Fabulous colour combination and wow what a car. I agree the cross turismo is the one I’d go for as well and at 300 miles per charge range anxiety is somewhat mitigated. Your builders face was a joy 😂
😂😂😂
No need to worry about putting price to one side. I’m sure many are here on the journey with you. Go back a few years and we were watching largely obtainable cars. It’s fine to just enjoy delights like this car. Some can buy it new, some can buy it used and so on 😍
Thank You, great review as always. I have -22 Carmine Red GTS ST fully spec and love it. It really hide that mass in corners with air suspension, torque vectoring and rear wheel steerint. Over 170k€ car 1,5 year and 20k kilometres just little over 100k is crazy.
Great review, and good representation of what you can expect.I have a 2021 Tycan base, it's all the performance you’ll ever need for a daily saloon. We have the performance battery, real world range is 210 miles - charging from home cost 6.9p per kW × 93 kwh battery = £6.40 to do 200 miles.
I also have a 991.2 GTS, but the car I prefer to use on a day to day - I'd take the Tycan. 🤜🤛
Loved this! The turbo, especially, is surely an incredible feat of engineering. Tomorrow I say goodbye to my Tesla MY and pick up my new (to me) Cross Turismo; approved used, 3 years old, 18k miles and some choice options, for approximately £55k less than new - that's the sweet spot for me, can't wait!
Wow 😮 Great car 👍
For a Porsche the depreciation is steep, as many ICE ones (Porsche 911 / Cayman / Macan)) hold 50%+ after 8-10 years. But any large saloon (German premium ones) depreciate heavily anyway….so it’s a great bargain really, if you are so inclined. Keep up the good work Pete.
They give what they think is reasonable to expect on all Porsche models giving the exception of limited special editions that 55% loss in value over the first three years then you can expect 6-7% next few years then down to something like 4-5% depending on use and mileage.
You'll be lucky to see an ICE car hold onto 50% of it's value after 8 to 10 years! Official estimates show even something like a VW Golf 1.5 Tsi at 3 years/36k miles, will be worth 48 to 50% of it's original cost. Those figures came from Auto Express magazine around a Month ago....
@@Brian-om2hh agreed. My post was specifically meaning Porsche ones, tend to hold their value (in the UK). But the Taycan drops like a 7 Series / A8 / Merc S
Most of the 997 911s are selling at the original MSRPs today. 997 Turbos with the manual will sell for even higher than MSRP. The 993 generation almost universally sells for more than their original MSRPs.
@@beatles4sale2007 The Taycan depreciated much worse than a BMW 7 series or an M8. In the United States the Taycan Turbo S has seen ~50% loss in 2.5 years. The 5 year residual value is going to be around 30% to 40%, possibly less. Insurance costs on the Taycan Turbo S are also incredibly high and more than double what they are for 911 Turbo S. Overall the 5 year operating costs on Taycan Turbo S are just incredibly high, never mind the also high up-front cost.
I've had an EV for nearly two years, and if you're a rare person that drives up and down the motorway every day for hundreds of miles, then they're probably not for you. If however, you're normal and do routine journeys, driving around the country now and again to visit relatives and friends, then I find you charge at home 95% of the time. Which on Octopus means night charge rate of .07p a kw, so over 300 miles for less than £5. People do worry about there being enough chargers, but seem to forget that vehicle range's are rapidly increasing and the need to charge on the move is quite infrequent.
Strangely my wife has recently bought an EV because she does drive up and down motorways a lot - so far in the first 6 days of October she's done about 700 miles and it's cost her £21 to charge (at home and at Superchargers). In her old Volvo S90 that would have been more than £100 in fuel.
Also, the general public's perception of public charging infrastructure is greatly misinformed. When charging my car yesterday at Ionity Metrocentre, I went for a walk in the 20 minutes I was waiting for it to charge (15-80%). Passing nearly all of the chargers at Metrocentre which includes over 30 rapid / ultra fast chargers and another 50 AC chargers, in the small snapshot of time I was there the number in use were....5, including my car! This perception of massive queues, none available and not working chargers is just nonsense, sensationalisation at best.
One could argue they're not being used due to cost and I don't know how much the likes of Zest charge as I have an Audi / Ionity subscription so wouldn't need to use them but they are there and they exist. And that is just one shopping centre.
@@graemecollie9233 I've had a second-hand 28kWh Ioniq for more than 3 years and I've had to wait to charge precisely once and then it was only for a few minutes because I wanted to use an Osprey charger I had 'free' credit for!
The times there are likely to be queues are public holidays at mealtimes on major routes. Plan to avoid them and it's not likely to be a big problem.
Well if you had this Taycan or a VW Id.7 and would have to drive motorway 400 miles a day to job/while working. You could maybe charge at work or charge for 15-20min at a DC fast charger and you would save around 50£ per workday in fuel! so would you rather refill an extra 10min a day or lose 15-20,000£ a year?
Hi ped. That colour combo exterior and interior with that spec is really nice. Lucky man for having that in your life for a few days.
A great car color for sure Sir Pete!
Great seeing Mrs.G in video for this one! A great ev sports car and a great review!
Thanks 👍
Another interesting, understandable video, Peter. Great to see Tracy and 'The Pups' involved, not to mention Steve the builder. Almost made me cancel my order for a 911 Turbo. Ha ha, back on planet Earth I'm off to Sainsbury's in my Niro!
😂😂😂
I like the interior it reminds me of the 80s 928 😊
which was an awesome design, still holding up today!
I agree about the colour, had a 1995 GS300 in a similar shade, absolutely stunning
Great vid Pete thank you...I have just bought the 4S CT in grey with that truffle interior-Love it!!!The original (no doubt company) buyer paid £127K but the uplift from my Volvo V90 was about the same as a new small electric car.I accept these have more to fall but for now I am enjoying a fabulous car!
Great review! I’m actually looking at purchasing one and it would be my first EV. Though at present I don’t have a home charger but there’s a Porsche dealership nearby, so that’d suffice until such time I get one installed.
Good luck!
What a great car, fantastic exterior & interior colour combination.
For me this is about as good as it gets for a new car, an amazing machine and a great review Ped.
Glad you like it!
There is an argument to say that: averaging 50mph doesn’t require 700bhp…
True but then why is there a need for most cars with 300+bhp!
Lovely car.
And I like the interior - it's certainly bold!
Think an important number is £170,000
Looking at another car site (thank you Mr M Watson)
Lowest priced Taycan was the 300KW 89KWH RWD AUTO STANDARD (that's about 400 Hp)
They'd like £13,263.48 as the deposit (yes, deposit)
And then 48 months of £1,084.54
With a max of 5,000 miles per year.(16 & 1/2 days of 300 mile touring)
Final note - - think the crayon is a cooler colour 🙂
Peter, that colour is special/ The car is very special. Envy is the word I keep thinking.
In June drove a Taycan 2 laps around Liepzig Porsche PEC circuit, I preferred it to 911 and Panamera I also drove that day. The issue I have apart from depreciation is no fast chargers in places like Mid wales and North Norfolk
Same reason why Australia is not embracing EVs!
We also drove the Taycan around Leipzig where it pushed the 911's on track, it was heavy through the chicanes but cornered well. I do think I would soon become bored with the electric whine.
That is a very impressive car.I think it would be Cross Tourismo for me.Great review as always.
Owned an Oak Green VW Golf MK2 GTI 16v in the same named colour. It’s a fantastic colour as is the Porsche version.
Oh well Ped,that's Mrs Peds Christmas present sorted,Well done.👍👍
Yep 😮
i agree, stunning spec inside and out, blistering performance when/if you need it.
Beautiful colour Ped, reminds me British racing green, Jimmy Clark’s lotus…
It does!
What a nice road trip that was! Clearly you two and the pups had a nice weekend away, and what a nice car to take! And yes, the colour is very very nice! Just not quite as nice, in my op, as my V6 Cavalier, which was a pearlescent green called Nautilus. It didn't exactly flip, but at certain angles, blue and green kind on melding together was awesome!
Nice 👌
I’ve been lucky enough to have some nice cars and own a Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo.
I’m not EV fan generally, but for now it does make massive financial sense to run as a company car with all the tax incentives.
It is crazy you can buy a £100k + porsche a a company car, write it off against profits and not really pay anything more than nominal bik whilst the poor oap’s are having their winter fuel allowance taken.
Anyway….whilst they have their flaws, I think it’s the best car I’ve ever driven.
I usually get itchy feet but currently, for me, nothing comes close at present.
Hardly ever saw a Panamera in company car parks. Now you see many Taycans. Tax breaks need to end. Loss of tax revenue. Level playing field in my opinion is needed. If EVs are so good, then monetary benefits shouldn’t be needed. Company buyers don’t care about depreciation, which impacts private buyers.
Great to hear 👍
Going to get mine in oak green definitely 👍
Not an EV fan at all but would surely learn to appreciate this car. Best colour ever indeed. Green and brown is a lovely combo. Cheers!
It's the Turismo for me and I agree as that colour is just beautiful 😊
👍
The best Tycan video I've seen, 👍
Wow, thanks!
Just awesome, the whole package is amazing. The charging technology will need its way into more affordable cars in due course I'm sure. The future of EV cars is very impressive in my opinion. Thanks Pedro, loved this one. Cheers
I’m definitely going to get a used GTS!! Love this car!!
Good choice!
Lovely car. I quite like the truffle but think it could benefit with some carbon or another colour to break it up a bit.
Love a Porsche !!! Brilliant cars, Tracy in the driver's seat 😅
A neighbour recently acquired a Taycan and it is indeed a lovely car that looks resplendent in black.
However, for reasons that I cannot explain, I would opt for another neighbour's high-performance Range Rover, complete with large petrol engine that struggles to get 14 mpg, despite being an EV owner myself.
Excellent video Ped, and a complete contrast to the other guy who has one of these, and seems to have problems and issues everywhere he goes in it! 😁😁
👍
Because unlike Schmeeeee, Ped is not a drama queen.
@@Thisonegoestoeleven666Might not be Tim there is a other guy who’s clips in truth are dreadful he likes drama, he as a Taycan and just bitches about it but it’s to play for a certain audience but it doesn’t really work as he just comes over as a prat. If it’s the guy I’m thinking he deliberately stayed at one of the worst hotel use to bitch about it and his pal drives a old Volvo that looks crap and doesn’t offer the comfort of a modern Car but seemingly we should all be driving Diesel E Aimee it’s his choice, he’s a prat too and his content is desperate because well he’s not to interesting and just parrots bad EV news.
@@SWR112 I couldn't agree more.....👍👍
Love it that you didn’t argue with Mrs PP, when she was sat in the drivers seat! We know our place…lol
LOL 😂
I particularly like the charging display showing it fluid at the top, as EVs slow like as if we were filling a cup fast. We would need to slow to fill to %100
Exactly 👍
As an EV owner I suggest moving the home charger close to the Garage doors so that you don't need to put a car into the Garage merely to put it on charge on a cold wet night, whilst filling the garage with cold air. And/or get a longer cable fitted, so that it can reach cars parked outside of the garage. My own chargers have purpose made 10 meter cables fitted to reach anywhere on the forecourt.
I wonder what is the real world range of a similar petrol Porche on one tank of Petrol !
If I had an EV permanently I might do that 👍
@@PetrolPed It is only a matter of time.
Glad Porsche gave you the PCS this time Pete, it makes the whole ownership experience far better and in some instances where people don't have access to home charging, can be as cost effective as if they did.
It sure did 👍
Good content Pete as always, keep the Mrs PP input coming 😂
Can I just ask, what was your overall Cotswold trip mileage & approximately how much did it cost to put that range back in on your Zappy home charger? 👍🏻
Trip was 260 miles. I picked up the car with 100% so only put about 15% in at home. That Cotswold trip would probably cost less than £10
Superb car and probably the best EV. The killer for it is of course the price and the depreciation. Early adopters always pay more but I don't see the price dropping, it hasn't for this version compared to the previous.
£134k to start is something!
Not just Porsche, most car pricing today is in a state of absolute madness, a clear have/have not condition with many unable to afford a new car.
Whilst EV performance is fantastic, many UK road speed limits have dropped with new 50mph and 20mph zones, 890hp might be overkill methinks, that EV surge is of little practical use when speed in the UK is seen as evil 😈
Im going from a plug in audi a3 hybrid to a cupra born vz shortly and im a petrol head my weekend car is a tvr! Any chance of a review on the new vz born pedders!
It has the ultimate performance for losing money......buy one.... it's a bit like chucking £50 notes into a dustbin.
Not sure of the colour, always had problems with green cars, perhaps I am just old school. The car itself I think is just awesome but as you say probably would go for the entry model. Great review as it covers all the main issues with electric
Thanks 🙏🏻
They did a Oak Green Mk2 Golf GTi. Seems a bit lighter than that from memory.
About 1300kg lighter 😂
One of the long term questions is battery life/health. Fast charging is something you can only do with the correct C Rate battery. I hope the battery tech in this newer car is suitable for long term fast charging. If not expect the battery range to slowly reduce..
I’m pretty sure they designed it do that 👍
If someone gifted me a Taycan like this one I certainly wouldn't say no but, as a personal purchase, it just doesn't make financial sense, at least not for a new one. After watching some of your videos I did, however, put a deposit down on a 718 Boxster S in Miami blue, which I pick up next weekend (12th Oct). A GTS was going to be too expensive to insure my 21yo son on (he'll be sharing the car with me. I retire 2 days before we collect it, so it'll be mine when my son's working, and his when he's off) but the car we're getting is really well spec'd so I'm sure we'll enjoy it. Oh, and I noticed we've both got the same Oakley glasses :-D Looking forward to more videos, all the best!
Love this. Enjoy the Boxster 👍
A 911 in that colour combo would be worthwhile.
Launch control in this car is a proper head rush, like you are in a spaceship or something.
Hello Petrol Ped from San Diego! Good to see your garage remodel look's to be almost finished! With regards to that Oak Green color, I do agree it's a stunning choice especially because it's so rare to see on Porsche's. I remember going by the local Porsche dealer one day back in the early 80's and they had a pre-owned 911 in Oak Green with a camel leather interior and I was smitten. Not a big fan of any EV so the Taycan really isn't my cup of tea, but they do have wonderful exterior styling. I believe Mrs. Ped enjoyed driving the BMW M240i a little more judging by her reaction to both, and the M240i also has a comfy place in the back for the pups. That's the more interesting drive(or an M2) for way less money if you don't mind the controversial styling. IMHO Cheers!
Thanks for this 👍
Really good vid, nice mix of tour / trip and factual data with real world use. Way too much money for a daily when you could buy a 992.2 GTS with a reasonable spec for less, bit of a no brainer....
That would be where my money went 👍
The EV haters are missing out . This is seriously good car have to drive one before you judge
I agree 👍
@@PetrolPedI also run a M3 touring and that only does 340 motorway miles, around town lucky if it goes over 200.. really is no difference
Yup, we're missing out on that depreciation
@@brutusoftroy2810 for personal use yes not great, business use even if you loose 50% in 1st year the tax breaks out weigh the losses. My M3 touring lost £25k in 1st year no escaping it on most new cars…
Nice
Lovely looking car and that colour is gorgeous. The garage is looking good and looks like the doors are on?
Unless I'm struggling to Scotland and back I should be ok with that range but can't help wanting more range
Living in WA where there are only EV chargers on the main routes, at this stage I'd probably stick to a hybrid to mitigate the range anxiety when traversing the huge distances that I have come to think of as nortmal since moving here. So I guess (in the Porsche range) that whittles it down to the Cayenne E-Hybrid. Or if I was being environmentally friendly, a used Boxster GTS.
Stunning interior 👍
Indeed 👍
love the oak green but not gone off chocolate inside altho the seats look the same as my 928s
Its certainly worth reading up on battery warranty terms and limitations. Although people are defending the car with "its got an 8yr battery warranty", there appear to be concerning limitations and exclusions......water and debris damage etc.
Looking at second hand Taycans at bargain prices it was worrying to see "new battery fitted" in the description of one, really put the last nail in the EV coffin for me
The Taycan became the whipping boy for EV’s!
I would very much enjoy THIS Taycan, as is, really. I like the looks; the dark colour masks the black plastic bits that hang down from the outer corners of the headlamps. I've never liked that look; it appears as though the car is weeping. A light colour would just kill it for me.
Yes..the "estate" version would be a smidge nicer, but this is perfectly fine. A car is great if it can relax a pair of dogs. 😆🤣
What more can be said? It's an EV, it's painted green, the chocolate brown interior looks so welcoming (just like any chocolate would be...), and it's not an anonymous, grey SUV/CUV. Along with Traci's and the Petrol Pups' seals of approval...this car's a good'un!
Cheers Jim 👍
You can pick up a used Taycan for “actually approachable money”. Depends if you think a) c£45k is approachable and b) you’re confident depreciation has slowed down enough.
I do think many car reviewers on here are out of touch with reality. They work in a world of test drives of expensive cars. Relative to new price it’s a better price.
£45k for a Taycan is very ‘approachable’ 👍
@@PetrolPed for a Taycan it seems a bargain. For a car, and the majority of people, it’s waaaaay out of reach.
@@tonyprice-j2p have you looked at the price of new cars recently?
@@Metro6am the world has gone mad. I’ll keep my 640d and cayenne diesel a while yet, and rely on someone else paying for the depreciation
Mk2 Golf GTI 16v looked the best in Oak Green metallic back in the day.
Ped do you remember the mark2 golf gti in oak green, simply beautiful and still my favorite hot hatch in 16v guise obviously, pity those seats in the Porsche are not biscuit brown in colour.
Great vid … but can you clarify something about the charging at Porsche? You said you’d been there for 20 mins … but your video showed you starting to charge at 1:45 and finishing at 3:29. Clearly longer than 30 minutes. Were there problems?
Not sure where you got that from. Defo on 19 mins 👍
@@PetrolPed He’s looking at the 3.29PM remaining to target thinking it was the clock.
Could be. That’s how long that last 20% would take 😮
is porsche taycan gt wide body kit available, cuz I got 1 recently
More pups and Mrs Ped please.
Just watched this after watching ‘The Macmaster’ recent video of his experience owning a Taycan. I guess you do your research and make an informed decision. Thereafter keep your fingers crossed.🤞
Hello Peter! My goodness…that is some car and we got back last night after three days in The West Midlands…NEC - Coventry- Leamington Spa - Stratford upon Avon and I saw three identical cars to your test car. All were RX24xxx so I guess Press cars and all exactly the same. I’m old and a private buyer so a new one is crazy impossible but a used one..all that would stop me is the physical size and low body height..Hilary cannot get in it. We took Hilary’s Puma and that was good news in the car parks but the Taycan would struggle a lot in that respect. Another aspect…Leamington seems to have a bit of a car cruising theme and to me, hearing a young beardy guy revving and blipping a Jaguar F Type and a woman doing the same in a 24 plate M3 Touring made themselves look rather stupid. The Taycan..looked reserved, cool, understated and far, far more impressive. Later….a fast start by an old Mazda RX7 filled the road with horrible fumes…no Castrol R delights, just burnt old petrol and oil….it was horrible. So yes…I’m an EV convert yet I have my PHEV…next time…a depreciated EV of some sort might well be there but I only like the Taycan or even better..the new E-Tron GT RS….now readers…I have owned 76 cars…petrol has filled my life…but an EV might be the final fling! Well done Peter and of course, young Tracey for a real world challenge….EV’s have challenges but for some, they really work! Stay safe…😃😃😃😃😃Richard
Really prefer the front of the RWD & 4S. Looks like the new Taycan does fix everything that was less stellar in the first gen.
Apart from the lack of a one pedal drive which I'd miss a bit.
So is charging this full price cheaper than filling a petrol equivalent? And how does mpg compare to kwh ?
Beautiful colour paint. Like you, I’d probably prefer a lighter interior (tan/cream). As always, a great review.
P.S. I hope Mrs PP didn’t give this one any curb rash on the wheels!!
No. Returned safely 👍
Love the Green, but would prefer a Black Interior .... Still pretty expensive I feel, but the used ones are tempting. Range doesn't bother me because it's just about planning. £170k is a little nuts! considering in 3 years it could be under £70k
Not knowing much (anything) about EVs I’m rather taken by the Taycan..not so much the fantasy price though. What a stunning colour and with a lighter tan interior it would be spectacular. Quick question…if the Porsche / Ionity charging station can offer 350kw and the Taycan can accept it what’s the reason it topped out at 280kw charging speed? Also why stop at 80% as opposed to a 100% and by doing so reduce the range to 240 miles…assuming you’re brave enough to run it down to 0% which surely nobody would do? Thanks for a good video.
These make a lot of sense bought part used, get a good spec cared for example and most of the deficiencies are overridden.
it would be interesting to know whether our 4 dogs would go in the estate version...we have used an E320 merc edtate and now a Range Rover Sport 320, but a sporty EV would be good!
Pete, you do know you’re a passenger in that car for good🤣🤣👍
Probably 😂
What an absolute amazing car. The EV haters just can't handle it 😂 great review 👍
And that builders face and comment made me laugh my head off 😂😂😂😂
And sales of new Diesel cars are now outstripping sales of new EVs! Hmmmm food for thought tree huggers!!
@@andylaws4247No they’re not.
Oh yes, as I'm in my 70s now, I would choose the more practical option from the Porsche range. I need to be able to get at least one MTB in the back, though I don't have dogs, so, hmm, yes, the Taycan will be just right. I love anything with 911 in it's name, but bikes in the back? Hmm.
i think a car that gets missed a lot in these concersations is the bmw i4 M50, never mentioned. my first EV, nice inside, decent ride, 500+ hp so rapid and half the price of the tycan
Hi Petrol Ped, do you feel the car is slower when battery SOC drop to around 10% ?
Steve wasn't actually ready... 😂
😂😂😂
Very impressive car for sure and as a long time Porsche ICE owner and enthusiast if I ever switch to owning an EV I guess the Taycan would be one to consider from the used market. This particular colour not to my taste really and I would be looking for crayon as a firm favourite of mine. As green’s go though I think one of the nicest around (if rare) is the Montreal Green on the Alfa Tonale which is being contemplated for the missus.
Love Montreal Green 👌
And have very much enjoyed your videos on the Tonale. Betraying my age a little here but I owned four consecutive Alfa’s during the 80’s and 90’s starting with the Sud so despite being a Porsche enthusiast I’ve always maintained a soft spot for anything Alfa Romeo.
Love ❤️ the colour. 🌟⭐️
Not tested a Porsche Taycan but an planning to drive one at Porsche Centre Colchester on Tuesday 8th October but sadly don't know which model I'll be taken out in my I'm hoping it's the 4S edition.
They are all rapid 😂
I agree 1000% on the colour, it is amazing
👍
You was only a few mile from my house at when you went past the dormy house and you didn’t drop by to have a cuppa and show me the car! But never mind I’m in your neck of the woods this week, don’t bother putting the kettle on😂😂
Could someone explain whether the battery technology is the same as in mobile phones? I know they both charge quickly to a high percentage then slow down to prevent from overcharging. But it has always been said that for 'mobile' battery efficiency they are best run down to as close to zero% as possible and then charged to 100% to keep the life to its maximum due to batteries having a memory built in.
A difficult one to answer quickly. The chemistry is similar and for sure there is best practice to follow. Maybe watch this video I did on the subject 👍

Rapid charge is impressive, but not as staggering as the rapid depreciation. Best to buy a Kia EV6 or Ioniq 5
There seems to be a lot of road noise in the car, while you're travelling solo to Portsmouth. I thought it was a rumble stripe but it does go on.
It’s a noisy bit of motorway and the camera mic always makes it sound worse that it is 👍
@@PetrolPed Probably emphasised by lack of engine noise.
