They already have them in the current BMW X5 and M850i so it is happening. What is interesting is that I have seen a lot of people in the BMW forums asking if they can retrofit crystal knobs/shifter to their cars, so apparently there is a big target group.

It looks slightly better in this darker color than the red I saw today with the gold accents. But still I wouldn't pay $80-100k to have this car in my garage.

It was an Autocross event at the Cow Palace in Daly City. I got to drive the M440i xdrive 6 autocross laps. I know that some poeple in this forum might grill me for what I will say but the M440i was more fun than my Taycan 4s for sporty driving. The exhaust sound and the 1000lbs lighter chassis...

I was at a BMW driving event and they had real iX and i4 on display. My impressions: iX exterior looks weird and worst than the photos. It has a lot of champaign color accents which I did not like iX interior is top notch, very luxurious, but I did not like the color on display. iX size is big...

I had a Macan with AirSuspension and 20'' wheels for 3 years, 55k miles, no rattles ever even on rough roads. My kid would kick the passenger seat and B pillar and they would not rattle. Btw it was a 2015 i.e. first year model. Today I was in my Taycan, parked/stopped while it was fast...

$90k and NOT eligible for the $7500 federal tax credit in the US.. (However, I am not sure how long the other manufacturers will be eligible for the credit either.)

Maybe you can use voice command "Hey Tesla, engage drive " :P

https://www.autoblog.com/2021/08/04/tesla-models-price-increase-again/ That is about $20k more than it was a few months ago!!!

The satellite antenna issue is known to Porsche, they have a TSB acknowledging it but no fix This is one more known issue without a fix https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10191723-0001.pdf I used to have the slow map load very often and the dealer "recoded" the PCM which improved things...

I don't think this thread is comparing the interior aesthetics. The Taycan's interior is certainly more modern as it should be for a car released in 2020. Macan's interior is almost unchanged since 2015 with a mild refresh that included the newer PCM in 2019 and it show's its age. This thread is...

Everything you said is spot on. It would have saved everyone a lot of frustration if the Taycan had the same PCM as the Panamera/Cayenne/Macan instead of using a beta of PCM 6.0. I was a Macan owner and I have driven at least 10 Macans/Cayennes and I was never frustrated by their PCM. It is not...

There are dealers reported in this forum trying to sell very expensive 4 year maintenance plans for the Taycan while the car needs only brake fluid and cabin air filter replacement every 2 years. Btw the battery is covered by 8 year factory warranty.

Can't you always buy it after 4 years just before the end of the original warranty? Why buy it now? At that point you will know if you want to keep the car for that long.

Imoressive but too fast in a dangerous way for most drivers out there.

Bolts are on fire ? ? https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/consumer-alert-important-chevrolet-bolt-recall-fire-risk

I would also add the Ford Mach-e in the list for those who need SUV-ish functionality. The Mach-e currently has a lot of software bugs (based on forums reports) just like the Taycan but Ford is releasing fixes much faster. I look fwd to test drive the Mach-e GT in 2 months.

I am trying to park every luxury car I ever owned to covered garages to protect them from the elements. I guess if you have this solar car you should part under the sun which is something I don't like :P

Check this review at minute 9:00 It basically says the same thing that you said. I think the correct statement is that "Taycan is better than a 911 as a daily car but the 911 is still better for the track or for really spirited driving."

it was already discussed in another post. I compared a build of the low end model against a similarly equipped 4S and the difference was about $20k. I personally lease, so with ~50% deappapreciation the difference in 3 years of lease ownership is $10k

maybe the "original 911" i.e VW Beetle as an EV :p. That is a Porsche-Tesla hybrid.
