Brilliant video mate, the facts were really easily digestible and I liked that you were honest throughout. I know this video was focused around Charging and Finance, I'd love to see another one with the other costs, inc maintenance, insurance and depreciation on a monthly basis too. Thanks!
Thank you mate! Appreciate the feedback 🙏🏻 I need to do more like this instead of just reviews!
A really good, practical video. Thanks.
Thank you Paul! Appreciated 🙏🏻
The last 3 mins of this video with the real world comparison is just excellent. Nothing short of a master piece in terms of laying it out short, to the point with all the numbers and facts. Great work.
Thank you very much! Glad you found it useful :))
The Taycan looks way better than the Panamera in my opinion. The Panamera now looks dated compared to the Taycan. I love mine! Awesome car. Porsche all the way!!❤
Awesome car indeed! If I had a drive I would have one in a heartbeat
Amazing work in your video! Really loved it!! Keep up the great work!! From Paros island, Greece!
Thank you re! 😃
SMASHED IT! Love the video! 🎉
You're the best!
Hey Gok - just chanced on your channel. Really good stuff and a lovely relaxed attitude. Subscribed and liked.
Hey Luke! Appreciate that! Thanks for watching, you’re now part of the first 100k subs 😜
Instructive video, thanks for the insights
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼
Awesome content. Thanks.
Thanks buddy!
Love the video bro ❤
Thank you very much broski!
Love the colour, and the interior design. Very cool car. 👍
Agreed!
Great Review! Thanks.
Thanks for watching! Much appreciated.
Didn't realise you had a twin brother loading the boot while you were at the front 😝.
Great edit, great review on the breakdown cost of the Taycan. Be great if you get your hands on the GT3 RS for next review if you fancy it. Otherwise keep those vids coming 👍🏾
Thanks mate haha! I’m working up to it… I’m sure my time will come.
Another great video! Ultra informative sections on financing and charging costs.
What a car!
Thanks Tom! Love the feedback :)
Great video. Im really considering a Taycan, especially a second hand one.
I have a M440i and for daily driving its about £70-90 on fuel for 340 miles. You get closed to 450 a tank on a motorway run which is great.... but I only do that a few times a year.
I don't have a daily commute so I would be home charging most of the time so I feel I would get a nice cost saving doing that
Thank you mate! Hope it helps you make your decision ;)
I paid cash for my last eight cars. They’re still tax deductible, but at least I haven’t paid a cent in interest for a couple of decades. I figure, even if the interest is tax deductible, the most I can recover is half that interest. One things that really frustrates with modern cars is touch screens. They’re so counterintuitive (and unsafe when on the move). Great review, mate.
Thanks mate! Swings n roundabouts :) thanks for watching
@@GoksCarLounge Indeed. 👍
KWh is a unit of energy.
KW is a unit of power.
You mix them up.
You didn't consume 39KW of power, you consumed 39KWh of stored energy.
You will confuse people who don't know better.
Good thinking you through away capital that you could have invested.
I'm from OZ and have solar on my home 6.5kw, If I charge though the day it costs $0, so I try and do that as much as possible
Late reply but very helpful as I would love a Taycan. The 20" wheels might give better range as well as the Sport Turismo RWD. Charging at home is cheaper but a Taycan is supposed to be a GT car built for touring and it might take 12 hours to charge on a 7kw home charger (8 hours charging from 20 to 80%). Yes its a family car but I think if I was using the car mainly in cities I would buy an older 911 or Tesla model Y. Is the Taycan trying to be a 911 and Panamera at the same time ? Using super / rapid chargers will degrade your battery faster so less range on a car that doesn't have fantastic range to start with. Lets hope the new car is that much better.
I’m here 🎉🎉🎉
Woop woop! Heyyyyy
That’s crazy how much for £1000 miles at charge stations! Deffo charging at home/work from now! Great watch as always bro!
Thank you for taking the time out to watch Tim! Proper consumer advice right? 🤓
It’s 30p/kWh if using the Porsche charge card that comes for free with the Taycan.
What do I fast forward to?
Great video, subscribed! What a car indeed. I think like most EV 'newbies' my worry is range and the nightmare endgame being 'stuck' somewhere having run out of 'juice'. I know, I know.... But having watched your review it's clear that as an owner you just have to be a bit more 'on it' management wise, making sure you are getting the best deal per kw at home - remembering to charge every night, even having some sort of personal database of charge points in case of emergency etc. I'm very close to making the jump...and the Taycan is top of the list. Thanks for the video and many thanks to Porsche Nottingham for letting you loose with an unbiased real life review. Says a lot about their service and character. Even though they are not my nearest dealer, they've likely got a sale in the not too distant future. Cheers.
Thanks mate! Great to hear the video is appreciated by most if not all! Those guys have been great, definitely worth a chat when you’re ready! 🙏🏻
I’m a newbie and used to feel like you before my bmw i4 m50 but 10k miles later, charging worries is the last thing on my mind. The main caveat is, you must be able to charge at home otherwise DO NOT buy an EV right now.
Does the cost of that thousand miles include the depreciation which is the highest in the EV industry in fact the highest in the car industry or does it also include the lowest kilowatts per mile of any high performance EV on the market
£105K wow…
Great video G 😊
Thanks mate! Hope you’re doing good! 😃
Octopus I pay 7.5p at night X 39kWh. I would paid £2.92
Makes all the difference! 👌🏼
Love your video content. New subscriber. Sold my 3rd Porsche with 154,000 miles. Considering which brand of all-electric I will add to the garage.
Thank you very much Rob! Welcome aboard! :)
I like your review.....your finance options dont mean much to me down here in OZ....i will be looking forward to my TAYCAN 😅😅😅
Thanks mate! Enjoy! Brilliant cars
If you use the card supplied by Porsche with your new car, the Ionity charging is £.030p per kWh which is cheap. Perhaps they didn’t mention that to you?
They did, but for some reason it didn’t work… but at the IONITY charging station with membership it said 54p… ?
@@GoksCarLounge Nope, it’s 31p per kWh (I use them all the time and the app confirms all costs as you spend). Having been to europe recently it’s also much the same there as well.
Ah I see! That’s not bad at all then. Speed and cost can co exist 🤝🏻
@@GoksCarLounge I went from West Sussex to Amsterdam and back two weeks ago, leaving with a full charge and spent under £50 on charging en-route (£25 each way). I charged at the hotel for £30 so my total costs were somewhere around £100 return from the UK - try that in an equivalent ICE car! (And I have a Taycan 4S CT so as you know, not an economic EV at all!)
@@mogsymanIt’s 30p/kWh. On the continent it’s €0.33/kWh.
..... also, the road tax and upkeep costs are non-trivial given the weight of the beast.
electricity can be free- I have solar and battery using a zappi charger
Looking at getting either a taycan gts or rs6 c8 on pcp with a 25k deposit . I actually prefer the taycan but the depreciation just scares me , I doubt I’ll ever see that 25k again with the taycan
If depreciation scared you, buy a cheap car and sleep better at night. Unless you’re buying limited production exotic vehicles, you will lose thousands in depreciation. 💰
how much is car insurance, looking t changing my R8 out for this?
Insurance as a whole is an absolute joke right now, but it’s circumstantial. Age, occupation and history etc. My dad just got a Lexus 2021, he is 60+ of age and best quote was £2800!!!
Great car only let down by it's sub 200 miles 'practical' range and poor depreciation. There's a reason every OPC has a load of used ones for sale. I'll stick to my Panamera Sport Turismo with its 500+ miles range - which I bought from the excellent Nottingham Porsche Centre.
Glad to hear you had a good experience at Notts! That’s partly why I mention PCP in the video… if you’re going to get one that’s the way to go I feel. Thanks for watching!
I love my Taycan 😍💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Thats an awful lot of cost for 1000 miles. I run a Porsche Macan GTS and my cost for 1000 is approx £223. All cost associated with a Porsche EV are much much higher! Insurance, Tyre replacement costs ( Every 10K miles due to the shear weight of the vehicle) Not considering the time wasted waiting at charge points to charge the vehicle so you can get home.. I could go on and on. The time for EV is very much in its infancy and like most feel its not the future. ( Yet) But I agree, its a whole new experience so maybe its worth paying the extra. But some how I wonder why Porsche offering £5k discount if your purchase a Taycan this is not normal. Sales are falling so is the secondhand values. I wish you all the best. Lastly, I read somewhere that if EV have a side impact the vehicle is written off, so make sure you have GAP insurance..... jeez you never buy a green car. LOL
Hey, £118 if charged at home, £305 is public which is the cost I was highlighting. It’s common for manufacturers to support cars, Mercedes were offering close to £10k off EQC with 2.9% apr.
The real beneficiaries as mentioned is business user of a contract hire :)
Any problems with the battery after a few years. Any truth to the Porsche whistle-blower rumors that was in the Teslarati article?
No idea… not seen it?
As I see it the problem with EV, is depreciation. Technology just moves on too fast over typical car ownership period. Just look at an iPhone. You pay £1200 for the latest new release and in four years (when there has been 4 generation cycles of improvements) you’ll be lucky to get £150 back.
I think these finance companies are going to take a serious hit when the customers hand their car back and it’s worth nowhere near the GFV they predicted in the contract (probably based on historic ICE car depreciation).
10ppkw/hour with octopus at an overnight rate in Scotland
Nice!! 👌🏼
How much did it cost in depreciation though
Same as any other production car, why?
@@GoksCarLounge ok
Using public chargers, the car did 1000 miles for £305 and 390 kWh. That works out as 78p per KwH. The average p/kwh for public chargers in 48p/kwh. 78p seems outrageously high. Basically, and sadly, this vid shows that EVs are MORE expensive [marginally] than IC engines, even for 23 mpg guzzlers like a Panamera, IF you use public chargers. Also worth noting that petrol prices are high currently, as is electricity, but there is no discounted / night rate for petrol. If petrol comes down in price, even to pre-Ukraine levels, EV's are even more expensive relative to IC. I am ciurrently driving a Taycan [on loan for a week]. My current owned car is a 530E Tour and previous one was a Panamera. I cannot help feeling that early adopters are buying Betamax video recorders. The future is hydrogen IC. In my view. I reckon Taycans will retail new at a -10% discount on list, and to be -40% off list for a 20 month old car. For a marque that prides itself on low depreciation, Taycans will depreciate -60% over 3 years and that's conservative. IMO, it's hybrids for now but if going Taycan, perhaps it's safest [though not cheaper] to go PCP and suck up the interest rate [currently about 11% with Porsche].
Hey, yes it was 79p was at IONITY and 74p at Osprey. There were cheaper tariffs but at much slower speeds. I should have mentioned I only used rapid chargers too. Yes I agree EV are expensive, but it’s not the cars it’s the infrastructure, electric companies are making billions of £££ every quarter and no one is questioning why… EVs can be a lot cheaper but when there money to be made it’s not in the power suppliers interest to lower the rates I guess…
50% in Australia after 12 months 😮
Every Taycan comes with free membership of the Porsche Charging Service for three years. Then IONITY costs 30p/kWh. Nobody should be paying 74p/kWh for IONITY! I have a GTS ST in Mamba Green funnily enough, and I only use IONITY. I use Plug&Charge too, so I just plug my car in without even scanning a card or anything. It’s super easy, and super cheap.
I own a Mamba Green Taycan GTS Sport Turismo. With every Taycan you get free “Porsche Charging Service” membership for three years. Then, IONITY costs 30p/kWh, not 74p. Why this wasn’t explained to you and set up for you already, I do not know.
Hi mate, thanks for watching. They did but for some reason it didnt work.
@@GoksCarLounge That’s a shame. Is it still not working? The first thing you should do is check whether you’ve got an active Porsche Charging Service associated with your car. If it is active, you can start IONITY chargers one of three ways. Either using the PCS card, from within the Porsche app, or via “Plug&Charge”. And if you initiate a charge via PCS, then you pay the Porsche rates, not the IONITY rates. I’ve just this evening driven up from Surrey to Leeds, and I stopped at IONITY Peterborough, and it was a doddle. Did it via Plug&Charge.
Your spec is great. I spent about six months pondering the Carmine Red GTS Interior Package with Mamba Green, but in the end due to not being able to find an example with that combo in the flesh, I bottled it and went with the Crayon GTS interior package over Mamba Green.
The panamera sport Turismo Is a much more spacious better looking car much better built and a lot cheaper to run
Can someone enlighten me how is Porsche able to sell a more expensive car, with less tech, less mileage, smaller battery, than Tesla?
Ask Apple how. Porsche like Apple doesn’t away have to be better specs than it competitors. But rather how they put it together, Porsche and Apple both give their product a high quality feel to use & look nicer as well
£305 in running costs, £20k in depreciation lol
Name me one car that any member of the public can buy that doesn’t depreciate.. I’ll wait…
@@GoksCarLounge 911 turbo s
@@Ekooo0 Lamborghini Urus hold the value very well
@@borinvlogs why stop at the lambo? I bet The $1M ++ Bugatti Cheron doesn’t depreciate either.
In my opinion GTS is way over priced than the competition
Why is this guy not talking about interest! When finance this car? In my opinion buying a car is always the best..
I said, as with any finance package there is likely to be an interest element. Thanks for watching.
@@GoksCarLounge yeah a really big element.. those days.. Just buy a car and be 100% owner of something is the best! Besides 99.5% of all cars droppes in price..
If you want to own a depreciating asset, it’s your decision.
Porsche range is a shitshow….
What are you getting out of yours?
