I think you have a little bit too much horsepower in your brain enjoy the car while you're alive you don't need all that horsepower in a crazy world that we live in
I have the Taycan, and they've done some perks. Updating to '23 software was a nice gesture, free of charge. It can charge completely overnight in my garage. I regret swapping my Cayenne Turbo for it, I feel that vehicle was far superior. I'll probably aim for that or a 911.
I drove the Taycan 4 CrossTurismo twice..I couldn't make myself like it. Feels too underpowered for the price point. Throw in the fact the car is massive, yet has a tiny windshield and manages to feel cramped - I was really let down. I am hoping a 4s is better but I'm not holding my breath. It is good at what it does, but it just feels really boring to drive.

So far, the Porsche Taycan is the only EV where VW got it right for over 80%. All other models fail miserably and therefore don't sell as expected. Still, this Taycan owner does not understand it is not about the car but the software and so does not talk about the software which is miserable with VW. My partner has a 5-year old Tesla Model S and still gets monthly updates. The range has been extended 16% with these updates ONLY while batteries are degrading slowly and the range should have diminished. No other EV manufacturer comes even close to that, if they have over-the-air updates at all.
The car is far to heavy.....to big. In tge Netherlands the tested a Toyota Yaris GR with a Taycan.....and many other sportscars and EV'S, the Gr finished first, the Taycan last....
I sold my Taycan after 5 months. Came from a 911 and was hugely disappointed in the car. Overly complex, lots of issues with the infotainment, too heavy, minimally sporty (compared to 911/718) and overall boring. It's not a Porsche to me, honestly.

Really 400 HP is not enough for you? You should have test driven the car before buying it to see if it fits your needs. I would take a 911 anytime over a Taycan. Look at the residual value. A 911 loses about 10% in 5 years, whereas a Taycan probably 50-60% if not more.

Tesla M3P here i love for the sheer acceleration but yes i agree battery need to be at least twice to be truely viable. Reason alot of ICE owners refuse to get one is due to the range.
range isnt really an issue with the supercharger network and the fast charging speeds. I recently did a 600 mile trip, 9 hours with 45 mins of charging. Our longest stop was for a lunch break.

Base trim Porsches are designed for people that want to say they own a Porsche without actually paying for one. The Taycan 4S and higher are absolutely insanely good cars and much closer to a 992 than a Panamera.
A base 911 is plenty of car for many people, regardless of how much money they have. I think its safe to say if you have bought a $140k base 911 that you have "actually paid for one".
@@rabernstein having driven the newest generation 992 base 911, I would have to disagree with you - my older, but optioned out 991.2 911 s was a much better drive and much more fun car.
I got the base with the extended premium battery…best of both worlds. Not too expensive and wicked acceleration while having RWD handling. I also have an ICE 911 on the way 😂
The Plaid Model S is now $46k cheaper than it was back in January. I upgraded my 2018 Model S 75D to a new Plaid. Tesla hasn't been sitting on their hands. There are so many improvements. I loved my 2018, but the new Plaid is just so much more car and for about the same price as my 2018. I was even able to transfer my free supercharging for life to the new Plaid.
Here is the question: there is no doubt that EVs lack soul. They are appliances. Want a Porsche sports car? Let me steer you back to a 911 or a Boxster. More nimble. Wonderful sounds. Great connection to their mechanics. Or were you searching for a way to signal your virtue with a meaningless gesture?

I drive a Tesla S. Rough riding and cheap plastic interior. Good acceleration though. The range needs to improve substantially before I would consider one. A 500 mile range is a must.
@@jeffreylindley845 I have my first two cars and they both have less than a 250 mile range. The first is a 1952 Chevy Hot Rod I purchased in 1962. It has a 16 gallon tank and gets around 12 mpg. My second car is a 427Cobra I purchased in 1968. It has an 18 gallon tank and also gets around 12 mpg.
@jeffreylindley845 For driving an ICE around town you need to drive to the gas station to add gas. On the Tesla you just plug it in at home. On trips the Tesla requires some planning to limit charge time. So overall an ICE is more convenient on trips. However, with over 300 miles of range you can drive 500 miles plus per day with one stop to charge while having lunch. Then fully charge overnight and do the same the next day.
I'm curious about the RWD Taycan. Does it feel like a RWD sports sedan when you drive it? Fun around the twisties? Little known about the Tesla Model 3 RWD: It's actually a fun car to drive. You can break it loose around the corners in a spirited drive. There's a certain feel that is missing with the AWD variants. I wonder if the Taycan is the same way.
Porsche needs to fix their weak car power. It's wimpy for their prices. $90k for a Taycan that can do 0-60 in 5.1s? Seriously? Is this a joke? A Tesla Model Y LR can do 4.8s with no launch needed. Price is about $50k. Don't forget the state rebate and federal tax credit.
Selling a weak car after 4 months isn't dumb. It's only dumb if you like overpaying for weak cars. I have a Porsche and I won't buy another one until they fix their trash. I'm leaning towards getting another Tesla.
So 0-60 times is the only thing you are paying for when buying a car?😂 A Tesla cant compare to this in any world when it comes to everything else. Happily paying doubble for this compared to a shitty plastic American product on four wheels with an i-pad..
@@dieseldoesthings527 Not just that.. My crappy Porsche been sitting on the street for months with 0 miles added.

My Porsche does handle better than the Tesla, but the acceleration is still a joke regardless of how you look at it. Changing lanes is easier with better acceleration.

Brother 100%
I got rid of mine after 8 months…very unhappy with it. Waiting for a more performance oriented Panamera which is not an e or e-hybrid.
Not fast enough, or what made you most unhappy with it? Curious. Seems like a great car.
@@Adrian-op5ni Same here I'm curious as well lmao
Can you charge the Taycan on your Tesla charger?
You can
if you have an adapter you can
Plummeting in value in the UK
U see porshe panamera hybird new lap record ?
I got the base with the extended premium battery…best of both worlds. Not too expensive and wicked acceleration while having RWD handling.
I also have an ICE 911 on the way 😂
IMO get a plaid...
You’re a mind reader … stay tuned to the channel.. nice surprise coming soon.
The Plaid Model S is now $46k cheaper than it was back in January. I upgraded my 2018 Model S 75D to a new Plaid. Tesla hasn't been sitting on their hands. There are so many improvements. I loved my 2018, but the new Plaid is just so much more car and for about the same price as my 2018. I was even able to transfer my free supercharging for life to the new Plaid.
For me it’s either this or the new macan ev
they wont give you a good offer... ;-)
just get a model s plaid and call it a day. unless you already have one, in that case just stick with it
How long will it take you to give up "saving the world"?
How much is this particular model?
About 80k
@@car_connections_392 TY!
Test drive ev6 gt, you'll really enjoy it
Here is the question: there is no doubt that EVs lack soul. They are appliances. Want a Porsche sports car? Let me steer you back to a 911 or a Boxster. More nimble. Wonderful sounds. Great connection to their mechanics. Or were you searching for a way to signal your virtue with a meaningless gesture?
Hey. Just wanna say your car is beautiful. I could never afford one but I do have an EV and I love it. Now I gotta go see if you got a new one. Good luck.
So where does one go to launch a car to the moon on a daily basis?
You OWE $86,000 friggen dollars!!!? 😳
89k with the current ride. 2023 Tesla Model S Plaid. Remember, I can always sell the car and not owe anything. Thanks for watching!
So what does it cost in interest and having the lender tell you what insurance you must carry, to borrow $89,000 ? Ha-Ha..I’m old…we were raised to avoid debt.
@@StevenYoungcaptual rate is 5.57% with my current credit union.. I think I’m going to keep the plaid for another 3-4 months and then buy the new model 3 highland performance. I think about $160 a month for full coverage.
On the RUclips thumbnail he says "sold" and then he talks about buying (???) one. What gives??? Bait and switch?
Yeah under powered for sure
This car should be waaaay better for its price.
You finance a car like that? If so, you can't afford it.
you dont deserve to be driving a Porsche
My taycan 4s starts being produced next week. Can’t wait!
@Kpizzo85 congratulations!! It will be worth the wait!
@@car_connections_392 congrats to you, saw the new spec/video… beautiful. Couldn’t decide between that and Neptune blue, but ended up going with Neptune.
Porsche branded EV...... it is not going to be as competitive as many upcoming new EVa
2:00 👈🏼😂 Elon Musk: I dare you to charge that piece of crap is my Tesla charging station !!
I drive a Tesla S. Rough riding and cheap plastic interior. Good acceleration though. The range needs to improve substantially before I would consider one. A 500 mile range is a must.
Neah that s enough range it s the refill time that bothers u
@@STR1XDLB I would not buy an ICE vehicle with 250 mile range either. So no.
@@jeffreylindley845 I have my first two cars and they both have less than a 250 mile range. The first is a 1952 Chevy Hot Rod I purchased in 1962. It has a 16 gallon tank and gets around 12 mpg. My second car is a 427Cobra I purchased in 1968. It has an 18 gallon tank and also gets around 12 mpg.
@@rayshepherd2479 But you can fill them up in 3 minutes.
@jeffreylindley845 For driving an ICE around town you need to drive to the gas station to add gas. On the Tesla you just plug it in at home. On trips the Tesla requires some planning to limit charge time. So overall an ICE is more convenient on trips. However, with over 300 miles of range you can drive 500 miles plus per day with one stop to charge while having lunch. Then fully charge overnight and do the same the next day.
I think you would have been happy with it if it was the turbo all wheel drive version
Man do you just be bored or what?
@Brian Jr. Actually, I just upgraded to a faster spec. Thank you for watching!! 💪
I'm curious about the RWD Taycan. Does it feel like a RWD sports sedan when you drive it? Fun around the twisties?
Little known about the Tesla Model 3 RWD: It's actually a fun car to drive. You can break it loose around the corners in a spirited drive. There's a certain feel that is missing with the AWD variants.
I wonder if the Taycan is the same way.
Agree. I get to drive my 2018 RWD LR model 3 in slippery winter conditions and the way the back end steps out is very well judged.
no, the car is too heavy to do that, I could not get mine to do so
awd is better in every way
Electric is🏳️🌈
So it’s sexy. Perfect.
No love lose it’s a electric piece of junk
I own a Panamera but this is is my next ride
Is the color Ice Grey Metallic?
Porsche needs to fix their weak car power. It's wimpy for their prices. $90k for a Taycan that can do 0-60 in 5.1s? Seriously? Is this a joke? A Tesla Model Y LR can do 4.8s with no launch needed. Price is about $50k. Don't forget the state rebate and federal tax credit.
That has to be one of the dumbest comments made in May 2023 all over the world.
Selling a weak car after 4 months isn't dumb. It's only dumb if you like overpaying for weak cars. I have a Porsche and I won't buy another one until they fix their trash. I'm leaning towards getting another Tesla.
So 0-60 times is the only thing you are paying for when buying a car?😂 A Tesla cant compare to this in any world when it comes to everything else. Happily paying doubble for this compared to a shitty plastic American product on four wheels with an i-pad..
@@dieseldoesthings527 Not just that.. My crappy Porsche been sitting on the street for months with 0 miles added. Gas too expensive, insurance more than tripled in price, etc. Just patiently waiting for the Cybertruck so I can sell that Porsche and get something I can use. My experiment with Porsche is coming to an end. But then again, I'm leaving the ICE world. I will not support OPEC again. My Porsche does handle better than the Tesla, but the acceleration is still a joke regardless of how you look at it. Changing lanes is easier with better acceleration.
So what can you do with the extra 0.3 seconds?
$80k+ loan ? Brave 🤨
Days you are very happy with your Porsche: the day you bought the car and the day you sold the car.
Well what do expect - It is a Porsche -- you are going to spend mega bucks to have one. Why do you need all that horse power??? You plan on Drag Racing everyone???? you people and your "Need for Speed" for a vehicle is ridiculous.
Go ahead, spend your hard earned money or be in debt forever for your stupid requirements.
I could care less!!!! Bye!!!
