Congrats on the car Dave…even if it’s not quite here yet. I am planning to get a 911 also. The Taycan has altered my perspective on my 911 purchase a bit though. I actually think that I may want to go with a more aggressive model than previously planned because the Taycan does so well as...
Things to know about Porsche service:
-Wait times to service Taycan are generally a bit longer than their ICE vehicles.
-Porsche is still learning how to service/support EVs.
-Costs for non-warranty repairs or service are comparatively very high.
-Service centers are generally nice and people...
Same for me…although I had the Pan ST 4S and now have a CT 4S. My Pan didn’t have PDCC but my Taycan does. I can’t say that I pushed my Pan to the level that the F1 driver did but it didn’t seem to roll that much in hard cornering.
Given that both cars are more touring than track focused...
Agreed. My takeaways from that video were:
- The F1 guy drove the wheels off that Panamera….much respect.
- Even with that, the woman in the video drove the Taycan faster.
Here is my view:
If you need a Taycan (for practicality) a 911 will never do. If you want a 911, a Taycan will never do.
If you want a Taycan but own a 911, always keep in my that it never replace the 911….but many will find it to be an acceptable compromise.
Given that I have the Cross Turismo, I don’t consider that this model has any competition. Even the sedan, which has a few other brands that are close to being in-family from a competition standpoint, separates itself in build/driving quality. Given this, it’s hard to compare price at this...
I like the full light bar of the 992. I have a 911 on my list of fun things to experience and was wondering where the sweet spot would be. It could be that 991/992 is it.
My sense is that they are reaching the limit of what they can do here. This lighting change is different but not necessarily better. Hopefully this isn’t what the future holds relative to design iteration.
These are two different types of cars. The I4 M50 doesnt have to be bad for the Taycan to be good. Haven’t driven the BMW but have seen several very positive reviews and its won a few awards. Looks like a solid choice for the money and it maintains some of its BMW DNA in the way Taycan...
This is interesting analysis but I don’t expect Porsche to be on the leading edge of efficiency In the future. It’s simply not the goal. They make their money on their ability to design and engineer a personal connection to the automotive experience. Expect that if they leverage tech for a...
