It would be awesome if you started adding chapters to these videos. Why do you think they are sandbagging the mileage so hard on the Taycan?? 290 is great!
Great to hear that the lower spec is possibly a better choice! For a long time the Model S absolute base spec has been better than the higher specs due to more range, for cheaper. Not to compare these two much further aside for them being flagships. They are quite different types of vehicles to be in and drive.
I went to the Porsche website and the $79k version of this car lacks just about everything that makes a Porsche and an EV special. Also Porsche wants you to pay for simple options that are standard on a low end $15k Hyundai.. This car is very customizable and if you have the money you can spend as much as $230k for one of these. Premium sound system is $7k.. LOL
@@mamadouaziza2536 hey buddy thank you for the response I’ll check paper but I’m pretty sure it’s the 2020 Pacifica Limited hybrid. It sounds great when you’re watching a movie on the blu ray system, and once I get the transmission repaired it should be a good driver as well lol
That's always been the Porsche way. Extra features double the price of the base car. They get away with it once people are paying 6 figures for cars. What's another $50K? No big deal.
Last time I checked, there was another stereo upgrade option. The Bose at around 1k, right? Anyways, I don’t understand people that complain about the price of a car.. No one is forcing you to buy it.
Kyle, would you do the cannonball in this frozen berry Taycan. I know that the power would have been enough and the potentially added range would be interesting. Also waiting on One Lap on any of the Taycan’s.
It’s a shame Porsche doesn’t make a “simple” version without the 2-speed gearbox. Would love that. Not a fan of having a gearbox in an EV. Especially if you can’t manually select between the 2 speeds.
don't go strictly by the given torque spec of any motor as ALL mfgs use some kind of gear (be it 1 or 2) final drive to the wheels/tires which amplifies the torque output. if you don't know the ratio, then you can't realistically judge/evaluate a vehicle. the fact that this thing still does 0-60 in only 5 secs is your first clue that you're missing a critical piece of information.
@@phillyphil1513 Good thing I believe to know the ratio then... 😅 Great Porsche ressource at jalopnik.com/an-extremely-detailed-look-at-the-porsche-taycans-engin-1837802533 For comparison: the ID.3 with 310 Nm is said to have a 10:1 gearbox.

I find myself wanting to see a "Cannonball race" between a Taycan and a Model S Plaid. I'm curious with the improved Model S, particularly the alleged range improvements and Tesla Series 3 Superchargers, what kind of difference in times there are between the two cars in 2021.
@@OutofSpecReviews Is V3 much faster than V2 on longer charging stops, or do you have to stop more often to make the most of the V3? A real race would be great though. 👮🏻♂️

@@msl5254 The Plaid is supposed to be out this month, with about 400 miles of range. It is the Plaid+ that will likely be next year, with the 500 miles of range. Would love to see how a Model S (Plaid or Long Range) would do -- how far it could go and still get "fast charging" (since to 50% should give 150-200 miles of range) -- as compared to the Taycan, even with only two V3 Superchargers on the route.

Interesting how u used such nice superlatives to try and say slower is better. It's not! Road tripping with "an adventure" as in the possibility of getting stranded? No, thanks. Range mode in Europe limits u to 100Km/hr top speed. What's the limit in the US?
What is this color and wheels combination?! I hope no one dares to order this combination. How did they make a Taycan look this dull. This is really shocking to me! How dare they put this on the options list. I thought the Taycan would always look great. BUT I WAS WRONG!
To be honest, I don't think the Taycan RWD is a good choice: I've driven the turbo and the 4S so far (it's so fun) and I don't think it's a nice experience to drive the "slow" one which needs 5.1 Seconds 0-60. As we say here in Germany, a Porsche has to "richtig fetzen" (be an fierce car? idk one of the words you can't translate), the RWD does not meet this criteria. However love your Videos, maybe you can try the Cannonball in this car with the big battery, should be a little faster than the 4S.
Porsche needs to start accurately stating range instead of selling themselves short. EVs sell in large part to range rating. Tesla overstates range because they take advantage of every trick in the system.
We need to help get Kyle his green and bronze spec Taycan. Spread the word about the channel and get the subscribers up! Too low for the quality of content.
Kyle is featured in the ads for this car on Porsche Taycan website!!!
This is the only Taycan review I have seen in the snow, so of course it’s the RWD version.
Thanks Kyle great review!!!! Can't wait to drive one myself in the Alps.
This guy is cool. Doesn't try hard at all and very very thorough and relevant.
Nice! Going Smoking Tire on is with the notebook, parked on the canyon road! Just need the rubber band to wrap around the notebook!
Angeles Crest. Great road. (Well it was about 30 years ago anyway) Too bad it was wet.

Well, that colour scheme is right off a 2000 Ford Contour.
Or Taurus 😁
Kyle, would you recommend this over the 4S & is there a huge difference? Yes donuts!!! 🙌🏼 I agree $100K & under 👍
I love it when Kyle just boots it thru a corner and pulls a few "G's" around a corner with passengers
A video of your preferred options would be cool. Most of these press cars are decked out.
That could be neat to do one day!
VERY NICE! Great driving!
Thx Kyle. Love your videos! Keep up the great work.

I just got a new minivan, they threw in a 20 speaker 760 W Harman Kardon audio system no extra charge
@@John-209
760 watts? BMW charges $800 for a 300 watt Harmon. I think the audio system in the Taycan is 4000 watts and 20 speakers.

Very nice drive review. Does this car have Porsche Torque vectoring option?
At 12:07 Kyle has a mister Rogers moment

It is dearly needed because the rear motor alone has barely any torque, which the 2-speed can mitigate.

are winter tires used here?
with the Taycan's level of efficientcy, do you think VW will ever push that down to the ID's?
Yes! Driving ID.4 this weekend and it’s so so soooo good
@@OutofSpecReviews Could you compare low-frequency noise to the Model Y? Particularly the boominess of the Y.

Eek, I'm clenching my butt cheeks watching Kyle hauling @ss up Angeles Crest Hwy in freezing rain in a near 6-figure car with rear wheel drive 😂
Your ahead of your time
What colour of this car ?
Can it do GPS tested sub 5s 0-60 in launch mode?
4.91s is what i have seen it at in other videos.
Interesting how u used such nice superlatives to try and say slower is better. It's not!
Road tripping with "an adventure" as in the possibility of getting stranded? No, thanks.
Range mode in Europe limits u to 100Km/hr top speed. What's the limit in the US?
Limit is adjustable, even on this European spec car. Plus you can push past it with a hard shove of the throttle.
What is this color and wheels combination?! I hope no one dares to order this combination. How did they make a Taycan look this dull. This is really shocking to me! How dare they put this on the options list.

EPA states the range, not Porsche. Legally Porsche has to market with EPA range
Does Taycan support Android Auto yet? I found it silly when I learned last year that it supports CarPlay only.
This matters lol!
99% of Porsche buyers are Apple iPhone lovers..
