I guess I need to change my pic and say good bye to the fellowship. My Taycan is back to the dealer (offer I could not refuse). I did buy an EQS 580, so for those interested here is the short version after few days of ownership - compared to my 4S 1. Looks: definitely Taycan is the sexier car...

Went for a second drive - car looks better on dark color (of course this is just my personal taste). Placed a deposit at the 3 dealers in the cities, will have several months to think about it.

In little over 3 weeks - cars were released for sale on December 6

I don't think you can negotiate a sales price when you make a deposit, only when you get a production slot and lock in your configuration. I did not have a price for the Taycan either when I made the deposit on the reveal day... I did put a deposit for an EQS 580 at 3 dealerships, all three are...

Not sure about this article gets it. You would argue that similar issues are present all over the world, yet Norway seems to be rapidly developing multiple hybrid charge stations (gasoline + electric) all over the place. Once EVs make up a large portion of the sales, EV stations will become a...

Finally the EQS made it to Minnesota. I briefly drove a 580 today. Here are my impressions: The good parts: 1. Excellent fit and finish 2. Easier to get in the front seat than the Taycan 3. Enough power 4. Image quality on the hyperscreen is top notch. Fonts are very easy to read, must be a...

I was afraid of the boat thing, that's the reason I never got an S-class... Back to waiting for the AMG EQE. My lease unfortunately expires before the anticipated Taycan facelift in 2024, so I am looking at alternatives. Will see how the Macan electric presents itself, although I always hated...

My dealer is still waiting for their first EQS. I must say that the dark color exterior is growing on me.... I find it very irritating that they are now trying to sell them over MSRP, and that MB did not organize a waitlist - like Porsche did with the Taycan launch. This makes it very...

As I said, I like the Taycan better. But that does not mean Model 3 is bad. Plenty track videos on model 3 out there... Apparently a modified model 3 did 7:44 on Nordschleife, but I don't think that is official.

Forgot about that:D. I was never interested in a red car -missed on this extra special

Bought the FSD - worst purchase of my life. Without FSD, all Tesla's have adaptive cruise control which is what you really need..... Agree with white interior and non-standard color. That gets you to $59,900

A tad too much negativity here.... I have a 2020 4S (my car) and model 3 performance (my wife's car; currently idle since she is working from home since Covid started). Each morning I have a choice. I like and I use the Taycan more - mainly for the gorgeous looks and high quality of fit and...

The Taycan is stunning, but I am sometimes feeling my age with some back pain getting in/out. I know I am in a minority, but I always hated the SUV driving position. The EQS sounded nice and will tick a lot of checkboxes, but as others mentioned it will take some adjustment from sporty/gorgeous...

Agree with a lot that has been said here - both pro and against Tesla. And of course part of the market shift towards EVs comes from regulators. However, to deny drastic changes brought by Tesla seems a little extreme. They must be doing something right since they are now selling >200,000 /...

Will definitely try the EQS with the AWD configuration. That car will be a little faster (0-60 in little over 4s or so). My lease comes to an end in little under 2 years - by then we should have the EQS delivered for a while, so no more first year production issues. Will also look at the EQE if...

Have the Taycan 4S after a P85D, model 3 long range and model 3 performance. I think @daveo4EV has the most balanced response. Talking about quality, Taycan is in a class of its own in terms of fit and finish - no comparison with Tesla there. Conversely, the user interface goes to Tesla. Apple...

I am afraid we are in no danger not visiting the dealership for the foreseeable future as I doubt software glitches will be quickly solved. I have been to the dealership already 4 times in 9 months - which is the same as the previous 2 EVs in their combined 5 years of use (pick-up and turn in...

This is my first Porsche. I love the way it looks and drives, I hate the Connect app - mainly because it is not working for me with no solution in sight. My lease expires in 3 years, so far top of my list are the S-class EV vs. BMW vs. refreshed model S; Lucid and Karma may be contenders, but...

Tesla's tire pressure is a moving target.... I remember the service inflated my P85D to 45 PSI (that was the recommended pressure de jour), then on another visit asked me why they are so high.... I don't even know where they should be now, latest I remember was 42 PSI. My Taycan says 39 PSI (I...

Of course it will have lows - you just have to see their pattern before. But I doubt a real crash unless the entire economy goes south. I remember thinking there is a buy opportunity when it dipped close to 180 from the previous peak of 380 (before the market split 1:5); respected analyst had a...
