Yes. Combined with other videos and comments, it pretty well lays out where the Taycan stands at this time. The Taycan was competitive with most cars by compensating for its reduced battery efficiency by using a bigger battery. But this is a bit of a one trick pony, because bigger means...

Sure, if you are into stop light drag races and quarter mile tracks, it makes lots of sense. Otherwise when you graduate from puberty get something with some class.

There are a lot of technologies in the pipeline. Don't know which one(s) win, but the physics are just potentially so much better for EV's than ICE for most transport purposes that ICE will go the way of the Dodo. Unless politicians try to keep the Zombie alive.

If referring to the Tesla If referring to the Tesla Model Plaid which burned up. There were about 25 on the road at the time. So 1 out of 25? It could be significant or it might not be significant. To be determined. But it is a new model and potentially more likely to have design flaws. I...

Separated at birth? Yeah, the test was not well designed given the low battery charge in the Taycan. A lot of the comments can be down to personal preferences.

Yup, we all drive NHRA standards at the stop light. There's an issue here that Tesla has had all along. Overstate the case for the unwary. Seen it before on EPA range ratings. It's a good car and doesn't need this. Always gotta be the biggest and bestest 'cause I am smarter than you and...

As more people get to review the Plaid, some of the magic starts to wear. Not that it isn't a good car. Just got some hype attached, so let's see what further hype there is.

First thing you do. Is don't let your kids use the car.

I was trying to work through all the sound and fury on this thread. Could be wrong, but the Plaid comparison is really with the Turbo S including pricing and not the 4S which is what most people have and which is more comparable to the Model S long range. So I have decided I am quite happy...

I would consider a Tesla. When it learns how to go around corners and has a quality feel. Oh wait, I already have one of those. It's called a Taycan.

I went from a 2017 911 4CS to a Taycan 4S. I do not regret the move. The Taycan gives you more room, more storage and a more comfortable and quieter ride. It handles as you would expect a Porsche though it is not as quick as a 911 in tight maneuvers. It's an all round bigger car. The bigger...

There is a bit of a problem brewing here. The Taycan has been range competitive with the older Tesla's. But the new model 3 and Lucid have 100 kWh batteries.

The bigger the boy, the bigger the toy. Beats the heck out of my old slot car racing set.

Just shows that YouTubers, Engineers and Scientists can be useful from time to time.

Back in the day, buying an electric car had few choices. Now you can buy rocket ships.

Elon is going to come in for criticism because of his comments on FSD. Maybe he will learn to keep his mouth shut or at least temper his statements.

Rather than a tree, the crash could have involved another vehicle, pedestrians..... Ridicule as a description is insufficient.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Despite the appearance of its front end the Cd shows at .23 vs .22 for the Taycan and .21 for the Tesla. So it's what an EV should be.

Agree, LKA and ACC/Innodrive and variants probably cover most peoples requirements. One additional one for city driving is protection against rear ending someone. If someone hits you in the rear, well generally you are going to win that one. Also opening doors and accidentally hitting a...
