Also we hear from Lou, an e-tron GT owner, who doesn't care about cars!
Hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching!

Taycan definitely better looking. By a mile. Great cars both.
There’s nothing I can replace my Taycan with right now. I test drove a bunch of cars and nothing compares to its ride and driving experience. The only car I can imagine being better would be a Bentley variant on the same Taycan platform. People will realize how special this car is more and more as EVs become more common
Well said! I agree too, I keep banging on about how good this car is for the roads. Nothing really touches it!
If I spent more time round the track my opinion would not be the same...
Just bought a Turbo S used, low mileage, great price, fastest car I’ve owned, great drive, PCCB’s rear steer, 10k miles, just over £60k, bargain, love the car, come from a Tesla M3P, have Porsche chargers, some Tesla still, charge at home and work, so no range anxiety. Car booked in for brake recall, just hope it is reliable but specialist supply chain is gearing up, so battery repairs possible and I’m doing my bit for the environment which I think gets forgotten although I do have my ICE sports car…
with vats? nice... my Turbo ist 4.5 years old and was 73 k€
That's an absolutely stonking bargain. Glad you're onboard!
@@derLenus £63k no VAT but from a Škoda dealer , so need to put a OPC warranty on it…
i have just hit 20kms on mine and love it more and more each day.....i do a 3 hr total commute (total round trip 180kms a day) each day, great range no anxiety whatsoever.........i just hop the battery stands up, if it does I will keep this car forever
I have to agree after 75k miles driving EV in the last 3 years.
I have one of those that start with a T.
I want a used Taycan Sport or Cross Tourismo as a weekend car for the driving experience.
Also something spicy on the combustion front.
Who doesn’t like a V10 at full throttle?
Thanks for the content.
Yeah, I wish we got to hear that V10! Thanks for the comment!
Main question is if you buy an used 22-23 my for 70-80k Eur what will you get for it in 4 years.
That’s the only thing stopping me from getting one tomorrow and making me overthink it…
Probaby about 50k. Minus 45k for a new battery.
@@radiobits3007 the battery would still be under warranty. 8y and 200k km is a lot.
@@GhostScaleRC so what happens after to the value after year 8 ?
I think people get this a bit wrong. You won't need a new battery, it'll still work, just you'll have less usable capacity. Plenty of Teslas out there with insane miles on them.
I bought a Tesla M3. Best car I've owned. By far.
The new taycan is the one to get massive improvements. Its the 100% the only EV i would consider. Handles like a porsche and looks amazing compared to the competition
Yeah, I was impressed when I had the new turbo s out
@@TABonTV "Pascal bernatchez" has a vid on his channel of the turbo gt without the weisach package running a 9.15 quarter mile. Absolutely insane.
Do you think a used Macan EV 4S in two years will be cheaper than the equivalent year for a Taycan 4S? I assume it has be less simply due to the fact a brand new one costs 85k for Macan versus 119k Taycan 4S.
I do think the Macan is much more sensibly priced to begin with so should age better
Fabulous to drive but not a sensible car to own because of:
- Depreciation.
- Porsche could, but doesn’t, continually update and improve the PCM software. The software is terrible in many areas for Porsche and VW ICE cars too, and this would somewhat put me off another modern VAG car.
- Size - it's too big for some parking spaces.
- Servicing / maintenance costs are stupid for an EV.
- Charging socket location - some DC charger cables barely reach.
- The b-pillar makes it hard to get out of; especially in tight spaces.
- Public charging costs approaching a par with petrol. Thankfully, I almost exclusively charge at home.
But it it wonderful tot drive. And my CT looks great.
Can't not agree with those points...
I have driven quite a few electric cars.
The problem with the Audi e-tron, and the Taycan is the weight. They weigh 3 tonnes. Yes 3 tonnes. Both companies lie about the cars weight. (A German company lying about cars? Has that ever happened?)
There is alot of weight, that keeps the car on the road. And the tyres, which are sizable do offer substantial amounts of mechanical grip. But they use quite soft compounds for the specially design tyres that are car dependent. So the wear rates are frightening. I got through 4 tyres on a Taycan in 8000 miles. And at the time there wasn't alot of competition for suitable tyres. The replacement cost was shocking. Also there are problems in the specially shaped parts for the car. The 12V battery is £2400 new. Yes, a quite small automotive battery, in a particularly strange shape, so there's only one manufacturer, cost £2800! And the 12V battery gets some very hard use, and can be empty if you leave the car for 3 weeks. So please stop all the evangelical preaching. If you mention the good. Then talk about the bad too.
Where are you getting this data from? They weigh 2.3 tons. I've probably made over 50 videos with this car, lots covering the negatives too.
@@TABonTV I went to a Porsche dealer (Mayfair). The representative told me 2.8 to 2.9 tonnes depending on specification. He then said that it was over 3 tonnes all in. So my source is Porsche. They had to spend quite some time looking. The information isn't readily available on their system. Audi for the e-tron couldn't provide any weight information.
The car drives like a 3 tonne car. Haven't you noticed? I drive Italian exotics on a daily basis. I know how heavy a car is, when I drive it. I thought what I said was fair.
Can I ask, where are you getting your data from? It's wrong!
@@verynormalman I wouldn't go back there if that's how much they know 😂
@@TABonTV Your tone is unpleasant and disrespectful. I have talked to you nicely. I asked a question and you made a flippant and silly response, saying that Porsche Mayfair, the UK's premier Porsche dealer, doesn't know anything.
It doesn't weigh 2.3 tonnes. I have done some research, which backs up what I was told. You can stick your head in the sand, but that won't make it weigh any less.
You seem to believe anything Porsche says, because it suits you to believe it. A 911 weighs, according to Porsche about 1750kg. (This figure is again "hopeful!) That's a small two door sports car. The Taycan is a sizable 4 door saloon, which has 93kWh of batteries. If you do the maths you will find that your estimated figure of 2.1 to 2.3 tonnes absolutely, and categorically cannot be true.
If you had driven a number of cars in your lifetime, and then you had driven your Taycan, you would soon realise it's very high weight. Do you really believe that your Taycan, is just a little bit heavier than a 911? If you do, then perhaps you shouldn't be commenting on your car, on RUclips?
I truly believe that Porsche gave me the REAL figure. Otherwise where did they get that figure from? My whole point was not to debate the actual weight, but to comment that it's a VERY heavy car. I daily drive a performance 1000kg car. I know how it behaves in cross winds. I know how a 1.8 tonne performance car behaves in cross winds. Then I drove the Taycan, and the e-tron, and the weight of those cars is another level. Assuming pretty similar side area, then the fact the the Taycan does not react to side winds at all, demonstrates my point.
I would definitely buy another!! Even though I have had recalls, I love my Taycan and I wouldn’t go back to ICE 🙌🏾
Good to hear it!
Mate what about my Ferrari these cars have no soul
Would any of you buy this out of warranty?
no, but you can pay for Porsche approved warranty until 14 years/200 kkm
@@derLenus Is that available in the U.S.? How much would that cost?
@@GraysonA sry, no idea, google/ask your dealer in the US, in Ger it's about 1.3 k per year
Nice try to justify a 1st generation EV with lots of 'issues'. The main theme running thru the review is 'FRAGILE'. Therefore no long term value to anyone.
My two comments are: Best car I’ve ever owned, the car hates potholes and so far this year I’ve damaged and replaced 4 tyres…….Heavy cars, low profiles and British roads don’t mix!
Yeah, you see a lot of tyre bulges on these!
Seems like that problem is fixed with the new model and their all new air adaptive suspension
Sound like a range rover is the vehicle of choice for english roads
@@johnnyboy1586 If you can keep it out of the dealership for breakdowns long enough.
@@jasonball2630 you have a piont there
I have a Taycan sport turismo - absolutely love it. Smooth, powerful, comfortable- great handling.
I have a Tycan. I agree they don't really stack up now against the newer competition. So how does porsche "Incentivse" to buy another. By quoting me £800 a month MORE for getting a new one of exactly the same spec. Needless to say I won't be doing that......
They need to look at pricing, long and hard.
We need one pedal driving. And profiles, not just the memory for the seats.
But its a super great car. So nice to drive.
In the same way I don’t understand why anyone would vote for Trump, why on earth would anyone buy a car that runs on dodgy software, dodgy batteries, dodgy heater matrices, has an unnecessary gearbox, makes fake brum brum noises, relies on dodgy 3rd party charging networks and loses 75% value over 3 years - assuming a Porsche dealer will add it to their mountain of unsaleable stock, when you can buy an S Plaid for half the price that blows the doors off a Porsche Tincan, goes further, is way more efficient, is a proper 5 door with big trunk space, and the whole journey experience just works beautifully?
Depreciation is just a huge component of the operating costs. While you mentioned costs, you didn’t add that depreciation, which makes them even worse than a McLaren to own lol
I'm on a PCP so unfortunately for Porsche this is their hit. My McLaren didn't do as bad as the Taycan
Depreciation if frightening! Can't sell my '22 RWD Loaded. Offered less than 50% by dealers.
same for me. I have a GTS ST '22 and dealer offered 50% at trade in for new Taycan
Yep, can't sugar coat it. Absolutely brutal
When my Tesla Stock was $430/share didn't mind so much, had cash to spare. But now at $200 things are a little tight!
Keep it, I’d only buy these if I know I’m keeping until it rots
have been a lurker in your channel and considering to buy a 2nd hand taycan (22 or 23 made). Have heard a lot about electrical failure in a lot models - is there any year to avoid, or just 4s?
Thanks, I would go as new as you can afford to and also ensure all the updates have been done 👍🏻
VW group have a stake in Xpeng there’s no reason for all the brands under their wing, to now struggle with the technology part.
Xpeng have it nailed! As you’d expect.
Fingers crossed. Just hope they consider that Xpeng / BYD etc still sell their own cars at a much cheaper price point.
Just bought a ruby star (pink) Taycan Turbo S Sport Tur-ismo its by far the best car I’ve owned
Good to hear that! Hope you enjoy the experience!
VW is not struggling a bit, they're really struggling
Yes, though times ahead...
Your friend Lou license plate is illegal. The Taycan drives better than the Audi and some Audi dealerships can't service the Etron's. CARIAD is a Welsh word. The Etron also has physical buttons for the aircon and not Porsche's silly ipad tablet.
How do you survive without memory seats ?? they need to replace food banks with memory seat banks
Best deal going is a used Turbo….. more than 50% off. I’ll take this over a new one 👍
Iv currently got a Taycan 4s 24 plate on test - very impressive car so far . Range was very accurate , modes were all very good . My preference however would be the cross tourismo 4s - only because of our dogs and family requirements. My only slight complaint with the Taycan so far is the entrance space and that really annoying lip edge that is just so painful to hit your leg on .
Yes, the b pillar in this car isn't good. Needs to be a coupe version.
I think it's a good thing Porsche going with Google for its software.
So far, the reviewers of the Macan EV have stated that Google Automotive is pretty good.
Looking forward to trying one of these!
It’s not even run in as they say. 2023 cross turismo with 26000kms and never missed a beat
Good to hear it!
The BMW E60 was not popular when it came out but after a while it was said to be "Not So Bad".
Bit like the rocky horror picture show 😆
I have a 2020 Taycan 4s. 20k of extras. Paid 32k with trade in. To me that’s fabulous value and absolutely love it. Love looking down the bonnet feels like the bat 🦇 mobile. The power is better than anything I’ve ever owned. Real luxury to drive. I have the 19 inch wheels the extra tyre wall won’t get damaged on pot holes. 0-60!4 seconds awesome.
Ps the battery is under an 8yr warranty and plenty of second hand parts on the market.
Yeah - sounds like a great deal to me!

You going to take the plunge?
@@TABonTV at the moment based on my current Porsche’s value and looking at pre owned Taycan cross tourismo prices , for my modest income I think I’m just out of reach financially to jump into one currently but il keep looking . Hopefully finance packages drop further free Christmas .
@@markdance574 yeah, keep your eyes on the market. You never know!
I have a turbo S - 3 words - absolutely terrifyingly enjoyable 😂
