How does Porsche justify more than twice the price jump from base Taycan to Taycan Turbo S where you live? Perhaps Porsche differentiates the trims by Nurburgring times, skid pad G's - please share a screencap of how those are marketed in trim comparisons. Here in the US, there are 3 metrics...

No, but it should raise the bar for Porsche engineers. 0-60 is one of Porsches main marketing points when comparing trims and justifying 100% price premiums, so of course people will start comparing against non-Porsches too.

When you say expecting nothing less, you mean you keep your cars in such a great shape that they fetch 30% than other sellers with the same car (market comparables)? Or are you expecting the market to go crazy like it did during the pandemic where 2 year old cars sold above MSRP of new?

My wife looked at Macan and Cayenne when switching out of her second Model S. Ended up with the Q8 etron, she loves it now (took a bit of time to get over the unintuitive user experience of Audi vs. Model S - we almost returned it, but she is used to its usability shortcomings now and by far...

My wife recently switched to Q8 etron, she particularly likes the easier to get in/out aspect, and overall (after mourning the lack of consistent, intuitive, and "just works" features of Model S, which were her last 2 cars) she likes the car a lot. She was not crazy about the ICE Macan, nor the...

Maybe Porsche is doing the recall too, given this (apparently they ran out if cables for a new delivery): https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/500-voucher.18172/post-279322

And no powered charge port to turn it back to a decorative decal.

I haven't driven a Toyota hybrid since my Lexus hybrid log time ago. Does the motor still start first thing in the morning, especially when it's cold out, even if you have plenty of battery capacity? That killed my like of hybrids, since I tend to back into my garage, and starting a cold engine...

Not at the moment. Apple Maps does. You have to link it to your MyPorsche account though so it can retrieve real time SoC info from the car. PS> Another thing you cannot do with the Model S, open your trunk by waving your foot under the rear bumper. I might take a little practice, but once you...

After a decade of driving Tesla (all Model S, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018) I switched our household to Taycan and Q8 eTron. Some comments on your first impressions, as I went through it less than a year ago. I chose to pick my Taycan up on the other side of the country so that I can drive it home...

People buy cars for different reasons, that is what make the world interesting and allows so many different cars to sell. Some buy it for inexpensive and/or reliable transportation, others for how it looks, others for how it drives/performs, and others to impress...

He doesn't have the car yet. Until the Porsche car is physically at the dealer and there are no stop sales on it, anything can happen (recalls, missing parts, port delays, strikes, boats sinking or catching on fire, cars falling off of transport vehicles, etc - all of which have been experienced...

Standards are there but they don't always cover everything. With the NEMA 14-50 (240V 50A) receptacles the biggest issue is that duty cycles are not covered in the standard - both sustained load duration and number of plug-unplug cycles. Before EV's these plugs and receptacles were used for...

That's $50K with very specific California incentives. Reminds of of the brand new Model 3 under $20K in a very specific location in California with very specific buyer qualifications met. The actual discount on GT RS is $32.5K, $24.5K off GT, but you have to lease it at least for few weeks, so...

Not new. Has been going on for at least couple of months. If interested, read Audi forums, you can get over $30K in combined incentives (factory, lease, costco) and dealer discounts.

Or a more detailed description - an expensive to write, WORM (write once read many) database, typically publicly readable.

The issue is that you don’t need a decentralized source of truth for applications such as ticketing. It adds unnecessary complexity and per-edit-transaction cost. It’s a sledge hammer to kill a mosquito approach. We could record every single keystroke of a court stenographer on a blockchain to...

Porsche is late to the hype game. If you're going to start your own pyramid, don't wait until the supply of gullible people is exhausted. See some numbers in this article below: Remember when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles may now be worthless. Can you make...

Watched the video, very impressive. Perhaps Porsche can rent one and learn some things, like how do software interface, app, or even just a backup camera with overhead view. Harder, yes. Impossible, no. Considering he makes his living in the internet car reviews, how did he not find one by now...

Taycan is heavy, so slow in and fast out of the corners. I'm no racing expert, but simply knowing it's a heavy car with great acceleration, that is what the line through turns should be optimized for. An extreme example of that is watching Model S Plaid though the Nürburgring. Then who buys...
