    Are we helping in the fight against climate change or just indulging our love of toys (er technology)?

    My issue with climate change - which absolutely is happening - is the obsession with CO2, where there are far more damaging pollutants that humanity produces, but that get little focus. Climate science is enormously complex and almost impossible to empirically prove anything. However, humanity...

    Taycan v Hyundai Ioniq 6

    Concept was stunning. I would actually have considered it were it not for production, which is too sedate and seems to regress to 'boring' Hyundai. It needs more of the Ioniq 5 styling. Pass.

    A Taycan Owner Buys a Tesla: Informal Battle of Two (Very Different) EVs!

    I'll be paying cash for a second hand Model 3 (new has a five month lead time, so not bad, but I need a car from beginning July), with a view my Taycan arrives latest of Q2 next year, at which point the Tesla will be offloaded to the highest bidding dealer. Obviously prices are inflated, but...

    A Taycan Owner Buys a Tesla: Informal Battle of Two (Very Different) EVs!

    Completely agree, but as with everything, there is always a trade off somewhere. I'm quite looking forward to test driving the Tesla Model 3, but ultimately the car I want is my Taycan GTS that is quite likely at least 12 months away. So where most people would be delighted with their Tesla, I...

    A Taycan Owner Buys a Tesla: Informal Battle of Two (Very Different) EVs!

    I agree both vehicles are in a very different class, but my comparison is more the UX of the tech, which is quite distinct for EVs. Does Tesla have better software experience than an electric Porsche? Many even on this forum would agree. Does an electric Porsche have a superior driving...

    A Taycan Owner Buys a Tesla: Informal Battle of Two (Very Different) EVs!

    "it's not about politics" And yet you just mentioned Elon's politics that you disagree with to the point of not buying his products. And you labelled him "childish". Fascinating. This is why I avoid conversations about politics especially where there's a movement in the West that's quite...

    I'm living and working from there for a month later this month. The Azores is a truly incredible place and not really on the radar. I hope it stays that way.

    If we ever meet, you can have my Taycan. Honest, just take it. It's yours. Have a nice day.

    " ‘the Car You Own Forever’ Era Is Coming to an End" - Article Link

    In the UK, see: JLR Pivotal Care by Volvo ONTO If these cars depreciated heavily into the first two years, a sub might make sense. I use ONTO, but only for temporary reasons. When it comes to the Taycan, we on this forum have looked into various purchase methods. Based on high residuals, most...

    New Taycan and new Panamera under one roof ….our debate is underway!

    I much prefer the Taycan as the BIK is 2%. Never driven a Panamera, but I can't imagine I would like it more than I prefer the looks of the Taycan. I find the Panamera a bit too conservative / 'old man' for my tastes, and in that class of vehicle, would opt for the RS6.

    Lotus Eletre

    The Porsche equivalent of this will be the electric Macan, though I suspect the Lotus will be pitched against Aston, Lambo and Ferrari SUVs. It's a nice design, but I'm not interested in the slightest over the Taycan GTS ST. Perhaps if I had a few kids and a wife to keep happy then that choice...

    Porsche is turning its mid-engine 718 roadster into an EV by 2025

    Audi have just announced their concept for an A6 Avant e-Tron. Soon the RS6 will go e-Tron and at that point, the Taycan ST has serious competition. I wonder how many of those on a 15-24 month wait will switch to a different EV brand/car in that time...

    Lucid test drive

    It's there to drive, not take on a date.

    A number of things, but mainly gym, calisthenics, cycling (though not at the moment) and I've recently got quite into hiking, which is why - with my 15 month wait for a GTS ST - I'm leaving for Cape Town next month to live and work there for two months. Looking forward to the outdoor activities...
