The consumption is really amazing. 8kwh/100km vs around 18 kwh/100km with a Taycan. How can the Taycan consume more than double ? What is it doing with that electricity ? Do Taycans secretly mine bitcoins ? That is probably why the PCM is sometimes slow. :)

Heard from a friend that works at a road side assistance company that they have significantly more issues with EV's than with ICE cars. Not empty batteries but mostly system and software related problems. And.... apparently almost no Tesla's! Mostly various other EV brands. And very regularly...

Personally, I think the advantages of full-electric are so significant that I would only consider other EV's to compare with the Taycan. And unfortunately there are not that many alternatives at this moment. If you aren't sure about the Taycan, I would personally wait a bit longer to decide...

The nice thing with this car will be that if you don't like the options you selected, you can just travel back in time, to change your car configuration. :-)

Very nice. That is the main thing I am missing going from Model X to Taycan: Automatic doors. I really liked them. Feels really cool to walk away from the car with open doors and press the lock button on the key and let the car close behind you. It gives a superhero feeling. Like when the...

To me one-pedal-driving is better in city traffic, coasting is better for highways. Speed adapted regen would be better. Or linked to the map, depending on the location. It would be so nice for innovation if there was a car with open-source software on it. So much software things I would...

The next version will have huge exhaust pipes, :)

It is a weird marketing strategy to identify your product with a big grill at this point in time. Technology is moving to EV's. EV's do not need big grills. All new EV's have no grill, smaller grills or fake grills. It feels a lot like swimming against the tide. (Personally I find almost all...

If they introduce cars with +400km of range, it should include self-driving and a toilet. :-)

I don't think range is really the issue. 400 km is just fine. It does not make sense to go higher. Now the price has to come down and there need to be more fast chargers. I also believe this is what is going to happen: When battery tech improves, the cars will not get bigger batteries for more...

Ignoring the design, the tesla 3 is hard to beat value-for-money speaking. Lots of feature are standard on the Tesla's that cost extra at the competitors. Resale value is high. And (at least in europe) the supercharger system still has a lot of value. If you really do not want a Tesla, I...

Two things come to my mind: 1. This is caused by a property of Porsche I really don't like: marketing is far more important to Porsche than technical excellence. The Taycan was not allowed to be faster than the 911. Engineers could easily make the Taycan way faster, but the marketing departement...

He kind of proves that this high amount of range is useless in the movie: He said "we drove for 8 hours straight except for a 15min break". If he would have driven a Taycan, he could have used those 15min to recharge the car and also get about 500 miles of range in total. If you drive for 500...

There is a vacancy on their website for a 'Test manager'. He/she will have a challenging job. :-) Hopefully they find somebody competent.
