I have the base Taycan Cross Turismo with a load of options. With the optional rear axel steering it is such a nimble car when driving in town centers and underground car parks. What does face the driver is the optional head-up display, which is excellent. You are right, it an awesome car and it gives me a big smile every time I drive it. By the way, the passenger screen is not part of the sport chrono package: it is a separate option.
Great video, have similar car and it has been flawless over my two years of ownership. I wanted a 911 but with kids this just made more sense. The regenerative breaking works when you press the breaks, same as every EV so the past last just as long. You also have adaptive regen on G1. Which add more regen based on cars in front of you. You get used to AC controls but it’s a miss.
This was a really challenging video to make with the range I had. A few things I wish I'd had more time to cover including more on the Sport Chrono Pack - absolutely get that, but please note a correction about the extra screen being included with that pack - it's not... Hope you enjoy it 😎
Brilliant video, made even better by the epic scenery! The car is amazing - I have a similarly spec'd one myself (albeit a 4, not a 4S) and agree that it's an incredible all-rounder. For me to be able to run a car that goes and handles like this, costs virtually nothing to run, is well built and equipped and can take 4 adults plus a big dog in total comfort is a game changer. And if you factor in how special it is, looks and makes you feel, I can't think of a single alternative at any price point, which is probably the best compliment I could give a car. Keep up the good work CB, great content!
Nice to see a positive review, I watch a lot of reviews on the Taycan and it gets a lot of "hate" from "petrol heads" and bigger channels, I don't think it's fair, whilst I get their point of view the vast majority of the bigger channels spend their time in supercars/hypercars and can't get past the fact it's electric. I've got a Taycan Turbo S and I love it, beautiful looking car. Agree with a lot of your points, it's a big wide car, Turbo S is definitely too fast for the road. My only major complaint is its range which they have at least improved in the gen 2 Taycans across the entire range. Loved the scenery and enjoyed the review :)
Thanks very much mate. Wow you've the Turbo S, what sort of range do you get from that? Some people just can't be objective about things and never more so than the anti-EV mob.
Great video mate thanks! I too own one of these in a similar spec...I think yours even had the compass sport chrono.Ive found the range perfectly acceptable (its returned 3.3m/pwh in 27k miles) the trick with all electic cars is home charging of course but on a long run I find the fast charging a non issue by the time you have popped to the loo and had a cuppa you have another 70 or 80 miles to carry on with.Mine was a year old when I bought it and had lost 50% of its £125k price tag.Eyes wide open still more to fall but personally I am happy to be driving such an amazing all rounder.
Thanks for the comment Dan! Yeah this one has the Sport Chrono and I wish I'd had more time to discuss that. It's awesome. Home charging is absolutely essential for any EV and especially this one 😊
Very lucky to also have this car - similar spec. It is the new generation though and surprised by your range. In the cold weeks at the moment (approx 3 degrees) I am getting 260 miles of range without trying. Hit 3 m/kwh yesterday which would give you just shy of 300 miles. Am sure it will be better in the spring etc and I expect you are driving the gen 1 model. Amazing car.
excellent stuff mate! Do you know what the road tax for model 3 long range will be later this year? i don't know if it will be another £410 ontop of the £190
u got no business making such a good review.
thx for the vid mate
Thanks a lot 😊

Thanks for the comment and sounds like you've a well spec'd one! Thanks for the correction on the Chrono. I've made a comment about this 👍

Thanks for the feedback and comment..No issues in 2 years in a Porsche. You don't often hear that 😁
the ultimate depreciating car
Did you watch as far as where I takked about this?
great review, a unique car
Glad you enjoyed it!

Agree mate see my comment above.

When did you get yours? The one I had was the first generation so probably explains it. More range and it's hard to fault!
excellent stuff mate!

i don't know if it will be another £410 ontop of the £190
Thanks mate. I did a video about EV tax and I think that's about right for new cars.
I'm just about a 1yo 4S cross turismo. Concerning value depreciation show me any sporty family car loosing value same way. E63? M5? 😅
To be fair, the EVs probably will depreciate faster than ICE ones but it's all relative I guess.
