I took my Turbo S to Silverstone GP circuit the other day. The instructor I was with (who was excellent by the way), had never been in a Taycan at speed on a track. We were following a Ferrari down the Hangar straight at over 140 mph and he warned me not to follow too closely to him as his...
Comparing the Taycan to an EQS is pointless. However, compare it to a Tesla Model S, the apparent pinnacle of range, performance and space, and suddenly the game is afoot. The EQS has undoubtedly more range, will be better built, and the price of the two will be similar. I think the real "Tesla...
I usually have a lot of time for Brooks and Dragtimes as he usually researches the cars he races to ensure that they get the best performance. The bone I have to pick with him is for some reason the Turbo S he races in this video has 20" wheels. Someone has deliberately put these on it as 21s...
Tesla’s claim to fame was that it brought the first longe range EV to market. Nowadays, it’s only advantage is it’s network. The only way to access it is to buy a poorly built, overpriced car. These days, it resorts to pointless exercises like yoke steering wheels and removing the driving...
I Currently have an MS P100D. At 20k miles it developed a vibration when accelerating which led to the front drive shafts being replaced. I never launched it after that as I didn’t think it was built to take it. I also couldn’t imagine what Ludicrous + does to the battery. When it reaches the...
I’m not convinced. There are so many variables that affect a “test” like this. Driver competence and reaction times, vehicle width in relation to the gaps between the cones, and weather conditions. Most of all, the bias of those conducting the test. It does not change my view that the Taycan is...
This is a sloppy video. The Tesla has 19" wheels for a start and what difference does the suspension setting matter if the car is in "cheetah" mode? Most importantly, if both cars went around a corner, the difference between the cars becomes immediately apparent. A family saloon with a party...
Quite a lot of this comparison is wrong or misleading in relation to the Model S e.g:
The Model S does have adaptive suspension on the latest models.
The Model S does have an easy entry mechanism.
Mine has venitlated seats.
The Model S has an 8 year 100,000 mile drivetrain/battery warranty.
