Interesting very recent review from the RTL TV station's YouTube channel. I've mentioned it here as Lucid was mentioned in this thread of being close competition for the Taycan. This is also a rare base-equipment level review of a base-level Taycan vs a Lucid Air Pure. Charging performance...

Would not disagree. Curiously enough, the Taycan has outsold the Panamera 1,447 units vs 1,013 units, with a 5.4% increase vs a 2.1% increase January to June in Germany in a reversal of the international sales. Figures below show how the competitors fared in the segment with the segment...

Spotted this video from yet another German YouTuber & Tuner JP Performance (Jean Pierre Kraemer) in Germany from last week that has had more than 1 million views who has managed to test drive the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra (it costs around 100,000 € when imported into Germany) on the roads around Dortmund...

Found this review from a German YouTuber called "CarManiac" useful (who only reviews BEVs). This review of an imported Xiaomi SU7 Max is rather interesting after he had spent 2 days with the car in March. He was overall complimentary about the vehicle but felt that the brakes were undersized and...

I have no beef with Lucid, indeed it is likely a very well handling car but whether it is better handling than a Taycan may up to individual preferences…?

Hmm, this is a "first drive" review from October 2023 based on one journalist's review. Curious that it did not make it into the Top 20 BEVs published in March this year (the Taycan made it to position #4): https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/top-gears-top-20-electric-cars It also did...

True. One could argue that the peak power would only be needed on long straights of more than 1 mile length otherwise it has little significance as the Nuerbugring lap comparison shows nicely.

The Model S Plaid gained a 3rd e-motor over the standard Model S dual e-motor design in 2021. The Xiaomi SU7 Max has 2x e-motors, the SU7 Ultra has 3x e-motors. In both cases, the performance versions seem to have needed a 3rd e-motor to achieve the increased peak power...

Are you confident about 3x e-motors vs 2x e-motors are immaterial? So, do you content that Tesla & Xiaomi (to take the Nuerburgring Nordschleife as an example) would have delivered the same result with just 2x e-motors? I very much doubt that. As I demonstrated above (post # 303), it shows that...

Hear, hear! It would seem that this higher top speed made the difference beyond the Doettinger Hoehe (before both were 'Even-Stevens'). https://viewsync.net/watch?v=I2EjtbqkZIU&t=2.94&v=2Lg7BXcZAg8&t=15&mode=solo

Hmm, really? From what I have read, a significant proportion of US made Abrams tanks (20 out of 31) were destroyed in Ukraine. " Recent images indicate that the rate at which Ukrainian forces have been losing Abrams tanks has increased significantly. This follows a period of intensive losses...

I think Porsche SE holding company is not the same as the "Dr Ing hc F Porsche AG" car manufacturing company. So the former appears to be diversifying "its holdings beyond Volkswagen and luxury-car maker Porsche" by " exploring the acquisition of a defence company"...this article in the FT...

Indeed. Ever since the German government discontinued subsidies (the so-called "Umwelt-Bonus") for BEVs in Germany in December 2023, earlier than expected, the market had collapsed this year in Germany for BEVs which makes the Taycan's sales remarkable against this backdrop. " Much of the...

I have said it already recently on this forum, the Taycan sales have been strong in Germany over the last 3 months based on the KBA (= DMV) figures, twice being best selling vehicle in it's segment (upper class luxury segment (that includes ICEs)) and again at in November with 489 newly...

Luckily not a lot of speculation...?

I can't speak for the US but and I have reported this before in previous months (so to me it appears to be a trend) that in Germany, the Taycan is one of the few BEVs that is bucking the trend for the last 3 months (not the entire year yet), it is either the vehicle registering the most newly...

Hear, hear...and btw, the often lauded Chinese manufacturers have issue themselves as this article shows: Xiaomi SU7 Owners Find It’s Not Meant For Track Use After Two Brake Failures Lead To Crashes " - Xiaomi’s SU7 Max electric car has a braking problem on race tracks. - Video evidence shows...

Yesterday I was on the road quite a bit in the North of the UK (around York, A19 but not just there) and saw at least 3 or 4 facelifted Taycans (not all at once, but throughout my travels) which I thought was interesting…of course this is by no means representative, just an observation. I...

On a positive note, the September sales figures in Germany (from the KBA = DMV) have the facelifted Taycan being the best selling car in it’s market segment (the upper class segment) which represents an 11.2 % increase over last year’s figures and includes ICEs in a generally still depressed...

I am not sure about this source and why it has today’s date but that Nürburgring lap time was recorded over a year ago. https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2022/ products/porsche-taycan-turbo-s-with-performance-kit-record-lap-nuerburgring-germany-29307.html
