Seriously considered a Taycan several times over the past two years, never owned one though numerous other EVs. I went back to gas, it that counts? I’ll be back in an EV when the kinks are worked out.
I was not too impressed with my test drive of the EQS sedan. It had a level of quietness that is initially impressive, but overall it lacked the cosseting feeling of an S-Class. It felt more like a tech product than an ultra luxury experience.
The EQ brand will be dropped by 2024 (C&D), so it...
Not a “versus” post obviously but I am interested in hearing from Taycan + Lightning owners. I drove one and was quite impressed by the comfort and quiet. Curious to hear opinions after living with the vehicle.

Auto “journalist” can’t even mention the amperage of his level 2 charger. Granted a lot of auto journalists are clueless about this stuff, but they definitely know better at TFL.
The car charges at 19 kW on AC. If you’re getting an EV hummer and plan on driving 300 miles every single day, just...
