You reminded me of the other reason - if I decide to come back to Taycan it will probably be the refreshed version which I'm guessing/hoping will have big battery improvements.

Yes, but it's a wash. Charging at home it more convenient. But not when you're ready to leave and the charger's red and you realize it overheated and stopped charging. Being more energy efficient is good for the Earth. But I barely put any mileage on so I won't make up the initial impact from...

Thanks for this. I guess I won't know unless I try. So I pulled the trigger. It was nice knowing you all. Even the guy that dressed up as a horse.

At least I didn't write this....

If someone would either give me a Vantage or a Taycan, my initial reaction would be of course I would choose the Vantage. But if I start thinking about it more, the Taycan is so much more practical.

It blows my mind how similar the performance numbers are:

I always do this. I have a dream and even though the dream is within my grasp I end up going with something else. Why did you change your mind?

No garage space. Used car prices are going to go down. Bad time to double down on cars.

I love my car but the AM will scratch my childhood itch to be James Bond (not a very good reason I know). On the street the Taycan feels faster. If it were one of the manual Vantages I would get it in a heartbeat, but I couldn't find one of those in a spec I liked. What do?

Porsche should advertise this. If I had known that, I would've gotten a Turbo instead.

I skipped all the blah blah blah talking for you....

261 kW is nice when you’re used to between 30 and 150, but it’s well shy of what the Taycan can accept and what the machine says it can deliver. LOL wut? Maybe he has a 2031 Taycan.

Car looks amazing but how can you derive an opinion on its performance while limited to 60 mph? Autox maybe but on a track? Can’t believe any of that aero is even doing much at that speed.

I don't really buy this test but some people like them....

https://jalopnik.com/tesla-model-s-plaid-finally-set-the-nurburgring-record-1847647872 I do wonder whether Porsche used the Turbo instead of the Turbo S because the latter is not actually faster on a track or they were sandbagging.

Your link refers to a different test where the Taycan did 188 miles. In this test it did 220, and I assume that was at the same time as the Tesla.

I get your point (that's why Ferraris aren't the most stolen cars, even by percentage) but I thought Androids were more popular than iPhones?
