Very interesting to see professional reviewers do reviews on cars they own. This took longer than I was hoping (since the collection video) but it was worth it. Should help people that are looking to make their Taycan decisions too.
Honestly, I’ve been trying to convince my wife that this HAS TO BE our next car. I was lucky to drive it for 30 mins one day & I’ve never felt the way I did about any other car ever! It is quite simply, THE SEXIEST car on the roads at the minute. It is pure filth.
Agree with pretty much everything Rez said. Have been running a very similarly specced car for 12 weeks and it’s epic. Speed, Comfort and at home charging make it unbeatable. For reference … drove a 2008 911 Turbo shortly after Taycan delivery, never haven driven any 911 before and felt they were pretty evenly matched for pace despite the huge weight difference
Love this car. My wife has had a 4S Cross Turismo very similar to yours on order since December 2021 - fingers crossed we'll have it in a couple months, and it will be our 6th Porsche. As they say, there is no substitute. It's the first EV so good, I actually want to drive it because it's a blast! That is not something I could say before. Love your channel!
My father owns this car to and we’re both addicted to it aswel. The fact that you can drive 160km/h and you just press the gas and it keeps going up is insane.
Likewise I am fully addicted to my Cross Turismo 4S, it truly amazing. I am fine with range, it forces you to take a break, the charging is acceptable, in fact mine only seems to slow down around 75%, but a break is good and allows you to chill out. It is solid, adaptable and the performance is amazing and most of all, I have enjoyed all 6,400 miles in 5 months. Some people comment about the control system, this is a car for driving not being driven, the systems in place are perfect.
I've just got the 'boggo' Taycan 4 Cross Turismo, but would agree with your analysis overall. I;ve done 4k miles now and the comfort and refinement, combined with the performance and handling capabilities are simply epic. Addictive. One small drawback: I'm just waiting, patiently, for the OPC to get my bike rack.
Raz, the Taycan can charge Level 2 up to 10.4kW using 48Amps at 240V. I’m sure that home charger of yours can support 7.6kW if you had 32Amps available. You probably only had a 16Amp circuit. As for Ionity you can certainly get up to the 270kW charging, I generally see 265kW if you start at less than 10% SoC. I have 28k miles on my Taycan 4S, enjoyed your review.
Tesla pioneered all of this. I had geolocated adjustable ride height in my first Model S… in 2015. That car broke 60 in 4.5 seconds, so slower than the Taychan, but the always full every morning, instant torque off the line driving experience is the same. Lots more internal space though, so more practical with 5 adults. I don’t like Teslas minimalist interiors - feel they went too far with the yoke and abolishing indicator stalks. So these days I’m in an i4 M50….
And on IONITY. It’s up to 350kw. And my Taycan charges as fast as 250 when the battery is low (sub 20%) and warm (35 degrees). To be fair; it slows quickly after it gets over 50%. Recently at IONITY I went from 13% to 60% in 14 mins.
Thanks for the outstanding content! Recently purchased a Taycan 4S and absolutely love it. What an emotional driving experience that brings a smile to my face every time.
Great review!! "I don't miss my V8 rumble when I'm driving this car because its providing me something in replacement of..." That statement right there is the best explanation about why electric cars can replace ICE cars!!
I've just got mine and I'm addicted to it! Damn, for the price I paid...it's literally a 911 eletric! U don't even feel the weight of the car. Every EV is always heavy and kinda slow to turn...not Taycan's case!
Thank you so very much Rez for your fun, informative, and excited review. There is this general feeling that those who review have to be perfectly neutral. I say “hogwash” to that as long as all negatives and neutral are also pointed out. You did that too. As a result of this review I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you.
If you’re considering ordering a Porsche, rethink your expectations. I had my new turbo GT delivered early November. Ready to go except the Burmeister amp. I have been told it may sit on the lot for more than 2 months awaiting an amp because an incomplete car can’t be delivered. So, it sits on the dealer lot till at least mid Jan.
I recently placed an order for a Taycan GTS, and coming from a 2020 C63s, I've been having some second thoughts of whether I'll enjoy it without the roar of a V8. Your video gave me so much more confidence in my decision! Can't wait to see your GTS review 🚀
@@AdityaChugh1 Oh right not too bad, no doubt they will put it back as you are probably expecting, hopefully not too long. I was informed 70 weeks for a 4s but that is through salary sacrifice scheme so not sure if lead times are longer for different places.
@@CC-hy6se so I’m from Toronto, even for me the original ETA was October, but someone dropped their allocation last minute and I was able to get an earlier slot. Hope you’re able to get something sooner!
They need to improve their energy density, efficiency, range, and charging infrastructure a bit more before I would get one. But I could see getting one around 2030. I agree the Cross Turismo is the best looking BEV on the market by far. The eTron GT looks pretty awesome too.
At that price point, BLACK SCREENS ??? There is ZERO REASON to need a PCM / Engineering “Reboot”…. Turn car off and come back after 45 MINUTES??? C’mon Porsche that’s BS 🙄
I liked it when you're describing your 2 year old's reaction, I get a similar reaction from my 2 year old when I'm driving my Model X Plaid, they love electric!
The exterior spec on your Cross Turismo is just perfect. What an incredible looking car. Shame you can’t get that wheel design on the GTS Sport Turismo though. Great review, love the Taycan!
Raz I have the same car too but you have to mention some failures with the car. 1) Middle console is useless, really difficult to reach it. 2) The rear view camera is not good at all, you know Mercedes has that option camera pops in and out when reversing. The Taycans rear camera gets dirty so fast no matter if you spill water on it. 3 I had problems with security alarm, always have to press the lock button twice as it starts to beep. 4) the car isn’t automatically locking when you go away from the car. 5) The app is not that good, is very basic compare to Tesla. 6) Shortcuts on the steering wheel aren’t that good neither, not possible to change music from steering wheel.
Great review! This, honestly, is the first EV I would consider owning. The looks are stunning and this is coming from a BMW guy who has owned every generation M3, including a G80 Xdrive currently in production. I just wish the price of these Cross Turismos wasn't so bonkers, though.
I have a G83 M4 competition cabriolet. Just got my Porsche Taycan and I’m a BMW enthusiast- owned 8 over 15 years - I’m telling you - the BMW has my heart ♥️ but the Taycan is so special! Porsche is unmatched!!
I currently purchased directly from Porsche @ Wolverhampton a Porsche approved used 2017 Porsche Cayenne S E Hybrid - it roughly does 20-25 miles on electric only , £0 road tax , top spec with all options inc adjustable air suspension etc - absolutely loving it - for 40k I think it’s been a bargain . Just like many of you I’d love the car in this video but the prices need to come down . I think most electric cars are now too expensive.
All the comments under this video make me sad.. Seems like almost everybody in the comments have a Porsche Taycan but me.. Man I would love to be able to afford such a car. I have to do it with an VW ID3 for now.. I love it though, don't get me wrong. Electric driving is superb. But this Porsche is on another level... one day... one day..
This review is just great.Love it. I am about to order a Taycan and have been tossing up between the Cross and Sport Turismo - now resolved, thank you! But what would be really helpful, if possible, is to know the specification of your car. Thanks
Hes either got it wrong or the installer has had to limit the charge rate, mite be the only circuit he could wire onto in a remote garage or something. I fit car chargers and you'd always fit the maximum power available
I've been considering getting a 2024 Model 3 Performance or a used 2021 Taycan 4S. What do you all think would be the better bet? Kinda concerned about reliability of the Porsche since it may be out of warranty for mechanical.
totally agree with you, the cross turismo is not only the best looking EV atm, I feel it's one of the best looking cars around, right now (not counting those exotic million$ hypercars xD)
Visiting my brother from Australia who lives in Wilmslow and your car is literally like the Toyota corolla of the area. Everyone and their dog has one and I've literally started saying corolla when I see one. What also is amazing is the nose dive in value. Yikes!!!
Many say that rear facing is significantly safer and kids should be kept as such as long as possible, e.g. some seats can go up to 50 pounds (~22.6 kg) and 49 inches (~124 cm) in rear facing, some perhaps more. Some countries recommend rear facing until 4 years; some organizations say beyond that as long as possible to the limits of the seat. If you switch to such using a convertible or all-in-one seat, I'm curious how is the fitment. For taller drivers and front seat passengers it might not work, but average height or below it seems maybe. I think such would be one criteria where some may find they'll only fit in a Panamera or Cayenne.
Thank you for your review, and this Porche is a thing of beauty. I assume your home charger is 7kW and not 3.6kW House mains can only charge at 2.5kW as this is the allowed continuous rating of a house socket, though 3kW is peak and as you say, if you get a EV, then fit a type 2 : 7kW charger and you can fill your car with about 100 miles on octopus electricity over 4 hours at very cheap rates - I get 5p/unit as an early adopter : so overnight it cost me ONLY £1-20. If you fit a 3 phase house supply (quite rare for most UK homes), then a home charger can be 11kW for the porsche. Note that very few EV's support 3 phase charging. For non EV drivers, please remember the 2 points (to reinforce the comments here) about charging... An EV driver can leave every morning with a mostly full tank of "fuel", and rarely ever have to stop to charge. An EV driver on a long journey can plug in , go for a pee and have 120 miles added, or have coffee as well and be fully charged. You don't spend extra time on a stop on a long journey.
I sort of get your last point, but I will say, I can get nearly 800 miles out of my 530d, and given the comfort in it, I've done about 450 in one go. So I would be wasting time charging, but I imagine I'm one of the few people that stupid to drive for about 7 hours non stop.
Great informative video. I have ordered a Taycan 4S sport Turismo and one of the reasons was your videos. I’m on phase 3 out of 5 according to my Porsche app so production is scheduled to start soon and hope to get it by June or July.
Having the parcel shelf removed means any thing in the boot can fly inside the cabin during a crash possibly injuring you and your family. Just wanted to raise this with you. Stay safe.
Appreciate the video - I drive mine since July last year - I agree with your review same issues here I also miss to change my music tracks back and forward without using the screen 📺 yes, I have juice on the steering wheel but I use it for the sound and the other in front right I use for turning of the sensor sound going into the wash or pedestrians walking near the car on a crosswalk in the city-hello from Germany 👍
i sometimes go a full week without driving. what's the battery loss when the car just sits in a garage? i'm sure it depends on temperature, but let's say an average of 68 degrees in storage?
Nice review. You have a lot of patience (and love) for a car with quite a few niggles TBH… Also, I guess it’s horses for courses regarding range anxiety, great to charge overnight for small daily commutes, not so great if you want to do long journeys (holidays to the continent… ).
They are the cross turismo design wheels in gloss black (only available on a cross turismo so you won’t see them as an option on the sport turismo or saloon).
Performance wise.. Crazy to see that 0-60 figures! Looks wise though.. Usually I would agree, but no this one doesnt do it. Front looks like a misformed Mclaren combined with a fish. Back looks like Merc EQC suv that just got slammed down. Not a popular opinion I know..
The rear axle steering seems to work wonders for me. The car is so long. But i was able to park at my condo space which is hard to park with just one maneuver. I couldn't believe it.
Mannnnn, I can't wait till you review the new BMW 7-series, specifically the i7. I can't believe you weren't on their list to get an early review model lol
Great review. I have a macan gts and very tempted to swap my new macan gts order for taycan sport turismo, but worried about the width on real world roads

the wife is happy in there...the dog and the cat love it too.
Great review.. I think that Porsche under reports their acceleration numbers on the mid models as to not compete with the Turbo models.
this was a VERY useful review. should I ever own and/or drive a Taycan, then I thank you in advance for the tips provided.
Nicely informative and genuine review. Thank you.
Love the plastic left on the charger screen, because why should we enjoy a nice clear screen when we can save the experience for the next owner
You had me at the start. That spec is incredible.
I've got a normal Taycan 4S absolutely love it, I've never had the PCM issue though.
This will be my and my partner's next car. I absolutely love it
Looking forward to the Ioniq 5 N @ 0-100km/h: 3.5 secs. Something I could afford LoL. Love the Taycan for sure! Remains a dream.
Funny because it had been a while since the collection video, I had assumed he was not having a memorable time with the Taycan!
I'm in love with that car.
You got the right one man. And the white color suits EVs well - looks futuristic. 👍
Ready for the next video!
Great review. You’ve made up my mind!
Why is your home charger only charging at 3.5kw?
It should be 7kw/32a.
3 pin plug is 2.3kw.
Hes either got it wrong or the installer has had to limit the charge rate, mite be the only circuit he could wire onto in a remote garage or something. I fit car chargers and you'd always fit the maximum power available
Just seeing this car for the first time today . Quite impressive
The Turismo is way cooler then the sportback! 🔥
You are exactly right the designs of these new eq models are hideous but the design of the Porsche is amazing!

It should go up to 7kw on the CTEK, I haven’t gotten to the bottom of that yet!
@@RemoveBeforeRace it could be something as simple as a dip switch setting on the charger. Awesome car and video by the way!

Understand that your wheel is on high gloss black, easy to get dirty? difficult to clean? how it looks like when is not clean?
i sometimes go a full week without driving. what's the battery loss when the car just sits in a garage? i'm sure it depends on temperature, but let's say an average of 68 degrees in storage?
I didn’t drive mine all last week. Battery stayed the same👍
Good question, stays the same.
@@RemoveBeforeRace thanks - this was a big worry for me. this is now an interesting proposition.
Same here. No drop off at all. It’s top tech.
Just don't leave it fully charged.
Not above 80% and not below 30% if it's standing long term
Bloody gorgeous, it absolutely is.
I really like the animations, they help a lot
I like at 11:13 when he gives the charging port a tickle to open.
Nice review. You have a lot of patience (and love) for a car with quite a few niggles TBH… Also, I guess it’s horses for courses regarding range anxiety, great to charge overnight for small daily commutes, not so great if you want to do long journeys (holidays to the continent… ).
Mannn I’m in love with this car!!!! 🤩
What is the model of the alloys? They look 👌. I don’t see them in the Porsche configurator
They are the cross turismo design wheels in gloss black (only available on a cross turismo so you won’t see them as an option on the sport turismo or saloon).
Performance wise.. Crazy to see that 0-60 figures! Looks wise though.. Usually I would agree, but no this one doesnt do it. Front looks like a misformed Mclaren combined with a fish. Back looks like Merc EQC suv that just got slammed down. Not a popular opinion I know..
What do you think of the drive difference between the standard Taycan (4S) and the Wagon version?
NBA on nbc intro is a classic.
The rear axle steering seems to work wonders for me. The car is so long. But i was able to park at my condo space which is hard to park with just one maneuver. I couldn't believe it.
Mannnnn, I can't wait till you review the new BMW 7-series, specifically the i7. I can't believe you weren't on their list to get an early review model lol
Spoiler alert: he doesn’t like cars that look like vomit
How is it for parking and narrow UK roads without the rear-wheel-steering option?
its utterly horrific to drive in islington
width restricters are narrower that the car itself
Awesome car. The one thing I don’t get. Is why is the torque so low? The polestar 3 performance is over 910Nm . I find that really weird
Great review. I have a macan gts and very tempted to swap my new macan gts order for taycan sport turismo, but worried about the width on real world roads
Low range is still a dealbreaker, especially for a cross car. Once that is fixed, will be buying one
Portland, JAMAICA in The Building !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
