There is no styling advantage on the M5. To regular people it’s just another 5 series. No one will not notice a Taycan is special in styling.
The Taycan is heavy and you will feel it. To me it feels like a boat. Very solid, very quiet, very heavy. It’s fast but it’s not quick.
Can’t really...
The PCM is fine until it isn’t. More than once I’ve experienced these issues on my 2022 GTS:
- not loading personal profiles, only guest profile available (Porsche server issue I think)
- PCM just spinning with circle at start and never loaded until 2 finger reboot
- not PCM but I reclined the...
Besides Tesla decreasing prices, which “others” are doing the same?
Paying 10k more for the same car? It’s not like I didn’t pay 10k more for my Tesla, the same car, before the price decrease. I also paid 15k more for my mclaren for the same car when they changed MY from 2022 to 2023 while I...
I've read the post few times and I think this is more a Taycan vs Alfa problem? You said "losing the Tesla is not an option" and you are trying to replace the Alfa w/ a Taycan?
I'll give you some different prospectives. I've had the M3P since it came out in 2018, along with a Model X since 2016...
Have you seen the new M2? That’s another wtf moment when I saw the original leaks. I love how the BMW forum people kept saying leaks look bad they look much better in production and IRL. Then the car was officially revealed and it looks exactly the same as leak but they started saying wow looks...
The EQS SUV does not have a frunk, so I assume the EQE SUV doesn’t either?
I took my friend‘s EQS SUV for a short ride and it was very plush and quiet, especially compared to my latest Model X. I am not sure if many people actually cross shop a MB GLE/EQE SUV with a Macan/EV. While both are...
Likewise at least my teslas never spontaneously went to Park from Drive like my GTS does occasionally at stoplight or stop sign or middle of a 3-point uturn.
Another issue I’ve experienced is that there’s no formal queue or line for a charging spot. With Tesla people usually know where to wait and form a line, not so with EA chargers. People just park around adjacent space and ask people who’s next. However, sometimes there are EA chargers on...
On my recent round trip from socal to norcal, I can attest the situation. It’s very frustrating where sometimes multiple chargers are down when there aren’t that many in the first place. There were often people already waiting to charge. Fortunately we were able to skip and moved on to the next...
The fact that someone bashing a different manufacturer (Tesla) on a Porsche Taycan forum, but received no support from other members, says a lot about Tesla.
Wait until you need to use homelink to open the garage door on the Taycan vs the Tesla, or using the rear camera on the Taycan. The navigation on Tesla is so easy to use and you can type when driving. On the Taycan? Good luck with that. Come back here when you get your GTS and update your view...
As a commuter car the Tesla is really hard to beat. I own a Model X and Model 3 performance. Just got my GTS earlier this week supposedly to replace my Model 3.
The cars are substantially different including they way they drive. The Model 3 is more nimble and easier to drive. Not to mention all...
