I have a 2022 highly specc'd 4S and was recently given a 2023 base model RWD as a loaner whilst my car was in for maintenance. The difference in ride and quietness was night and day with the 4S trouncing the base RWD. I'm another that hasn't really had any issues with CarPlay as well.
Bottom...
I'd don't know if you should be annoyed. But I took my Taycan in for a recall, they gave me a new Panamera loaner. I returned it two days later, when I picked up my Taycan, and there was no charge. I'm not even sure what was in the tank as I didn't fill it up and didn't bother checking. I'm...
Exactly right in my case. If I hadn't bought a Taycan I would have probably bought a 911 (and I may still do so at some point if I can talk my wife around;)). I did look at Tesla's but decided they simply were not something I was interested in buying, or driving on a regular basis.
I'm really...
I'm really not getting the software complaints. Personally, I don't have any major gripes about the software and only a few minor ones. It does everything I expect a car's software to do. My, admittedly limited, experience with Tesla's left me unimpressed with the software I found it irritating...
I'm in the "never would have bought a Tesla in the first place group" :) I looked at Teslas several years ago, and was less than impressed with the diving, looks, and particularly the interior.
I wanted a Porsche and if I hadn't driven a Taycan would likely have purchased a 911. If I were to...
Exactly ? and of course get some clicks to generate revenue with a video that hopefully people will watch and enjoy. I mean, seems to have worked. After all here we are dissecting their video :)
My son has a 2019 Z06. We've driven each other cars. The Corvette is very quick and is fun to drive but much less comfortable than the Taycan. My son liked my Taycan 4S, but he is more into ICE cars at the moment. He would like a Porsche GT4 RS at some point.
The Z06 starts at around $106k and...
Well there is lifetime and then there is lifetime. I always wanted a Porsche and after seeing/driving a Taycan that was my choice. Since I'm 72 I'm not sure how many more cars are in my future unless they are full self driving ;) Although a 2dr Porsche EV might make me decide that getting one...
I wouldn't worry overmuch. I'm a first time Porsche buyer as well. I have a very highly optioned 2022 4S since May 2022 and have had zero significant issues.
Now I bought it as my "fun" vehicle and only have a bit over 3k miles on it so maybe that makes a difference. However, I'd have no qualms...
Beauty is in they eye of the beholder and I've found this is especially true for automobiles. Heck, I've know people that think the AMC Pacer and Gremlin X are good looking cars :CWL:
Personally I don't like the looks of the Lucid and I've seen one in person, but all that really matters is if...
On the power, if the Solar incentives help increase Solar adoption that will help alleviate some of the load on the power grid. I recently installed Solar at my home and it will not only greatly reduce my energy bill and charge my car, but by my calculations, including the tax incentive, it will...
Not really a muscle car person, but I don't hate the exterior styling. The fake exhaust does about as much for me as Tessa's fart noises. I much prefer the speeder noise produced by the Taycan. However, the more variety there is in EVs the better I say :)
Maybe I'm an outlier but I like the way the media, including the volume adjustment is set up on the Taycan. Of course I do have the passenger screen so when my wife wants to play with the music she can do that very easily from there. I find using either the wheel, my preference when driving, or...
I've had the same experience. Oh, and CarPlay music starts automatically in all of my cars, (Porsche, Acura, Toyota) unless I turn the music off on the phone before shutting down the cars so I'm inclined to believe it is more of a CarPlay "feature" and not something you'd need to worry about in...
As @AndiL mentioned, you can generate electricity from renewable sources, recycle batteries, and battery technology is bound to continue to improve. Heck, I have solar panels and generate more than enough electricity to charge my car and I do over 90% of my charging at home.
The opinion piece...
While I liked the looks of the Ioniq 5 I don't really like the looks of the 6. It is good to see additional competition in the EV segment. From what I've read it should be competitively priced to the Tesla M3.
Tesla Responsible for 70% of Driver Assist Crashes while Tesla has more EVs on the road than anyone, still, the article found that the rate per 1000 vehicles was higher than competitors. That may, at least partially, be because of the way Tesla has promoted "Self-Driving" technology. Personally...
