I've had my Taycan for 6 months... That stress you are referring to is because you are new to it, it will go away once you get the hang of it. You'll be charging at home 99% of the time unless you're an over the road trucker. I challenge you to make another video once you get the hang of charging and living with the car.
Fully agree with that. I have Tesla and Taycan. No charging stress. Once you have a rough idea of what the range actually is, you will see that you will charge at home 99% of the time. Same for the charger cards. Once you have 2 charging cards, you will see you can almost charge everywhere. Just a matter of getting used to.
@@mmistermusic how is your experience with the tesla? I'm shopping for a new car however I test drove a model 3 and it's definitely very basic. I loved the performance of it but man the interior kills me. I'm also looking at mercedes cla 45, audi rs3 and a lexus but I've heard German cars drop 50% in value over 5 years. I guess I just want a tesla with an interior of a luxury car.
@Frenzy Certainly possible. I was also broke when I was 20y old. But also make sure you have non-financial goals and dreams. Money and wealth are by far not the most important things in life.
I could literally watch videos from you all day long. It does not matter what the topic is, the editing and shooting style are so incredibly well done, it’s always such a pleasure to view. Just wanted to say thank you for the awesome content and quality of your work.
The Electrify America charging system is decent (and included). After the initial setup, you just plug in and it automatically starts charging. I don't do road trips in my Taycan, so the range is never an issue. Amazing car though.
@@nd84md im 1 year in and EA has gotten better - we only use on roadtrips, so limited, but does the trick when we need it. Id rather have to deal with EA charging network vs a Tesla car! :P
The Taycan is the only car that gets me excited about electric vehicles. It's also one of the best looking cars out right now IMO. Porsche is expensive compared to the competition, but you get what you pay for. That money goes to engineering, not marketing. Porsche doesn't make bad cars, to include their SUVs. Also, get red.
Porsche does make bad cars if u reach adult hood u will understand one day.especially their SUV that are actually VW‘s with a Porsche badge this car is beautiful but lacks range,charging network and energy consumption is way higher than Tesla’s with more hp , cargo space is ass infotainment is wacky screens refelct like crazy in the sun no over the air updates … be more honest and jet off u Porsche simp
I had the same experience when we drove my moms Mach E to San Antonio. Stuck in the middle of nowhere and had to drive to a random building to get charged up at a janky charger. I feel like whoever can make the charging process as painless as getting gas has a huge pay day in their future 🤑
MACH E is a every efficient car. That should not happen it gives you very accurate information and enables a good trip plan. But if you don't know what you are doing...well. A BETTER ROUTE PLANNER is an independent EV route guide with excellent info.
Love the Taycan…would never attempt travel away from home. I’d use my Tesla for any sort of traveling. Tesla may open their charging network to all cars soon and that may help.
Don’t you have upgraded battery (I think it’s $5K option). With this battery it can do 280 miles. 255 in the worst case when wind is blowing and you driving 80mph. I took our Taycan to different state and learn a lot. Also, with additional battery there is more power in acceleration
100% with you on the non Tesla’s charging experience. I started with a BMW I3 and traded it in for a MS mainly due to the charging experience. Man, I really want this car though!
Just picked up a model 3 long range two weeks ago. Tesla still has some quality issues to work out. I already have a service appointment scheduled to fix a rattle in the door panel. For 50K tho overall I’m pretty happy. I agree that it’s not as inspiring to drive tho.
I have a '21 Taycan and I don't use home/building charger (apt building). I only use the Electrify America chargers at Walmarts, literally plug & charge (25mins tops). My advise: the less you push, the longer the range... and its hard because this car is fun af. Good luck!!!
This car is amazing, we sold 22 Taycans here in Monaco just since start of the year. If you have the wealth to get one, just jump on it, can't wait they make 911 with this electric setup
JOE ! When’s the next meet up / alphaland car meet ? I have a whole week September 10th-18th to fly from VA to TX to see the ‘land and all things sour lol. Fingers crossed some cool car culture in Houston
For a software programmer, would have expected you to notice the caution sign on the CSS charger… There’s definitely a learning curve when owning any new EV.
You will learn and the process of changing and speed will be much better. You will know to go to EA and find 150kw charging have an account and plug in. And by the time you get a drink at grocery store and look on your phone for 10min have 200 miles. There are even 350 charges popping up here. I cant image the speed. Might not have time to get even watch this video while charging. Plus I only charge until 100kw speed when it drops close to 80% I will just charge the rest at home. I only us EA cause its free for 3 years. I also don't take this care on road trips, too nice of a car for me. I do however drive it everyday day now that gas is so expensive.
Charging -- oh dear... half an hour on the internet before you picked up the car... too much to ask? You're just too impatient, LOL or you could have asked at the dealership, loaded the necessary apps beforehand etc etc. Preparation! You learn about on the road charging once and then it's just a new way of doing things. For long trips (which are the exception for almost all drivers - mostly it's local driving & home charging) you do need to plan a little. But as you said the charging network will expand & improve over time. Out of Spec Motoring have loads of videos about EV road trips, watch a few and learn!
The charging situation is a mess for non Tesla. The besides the slower speeds, apps required to charge, and broke chargers. Alot of improvements can be made.
Huh? Taycan doesn't need an app to charge it's "plug n charge" and it charges fast as hell. I maybe had one charger that didn't connect and I just moved over to the next one. I've had my Taycan for 6 months. Do you own a Taycan?.
I can fill up my car with an empty tank and complete my payment within three mins or so. I've placed a reservation on lightning, cybertruck, and id 4. It'll be perfect for everyday commute, but for long road trips, it's not quite there yet.
Another banger video from Joe aka the best TH-cam car reviewer….dude, these videos always make me want to wash my car😂😂😂…(I always leave feeling like “damn I need to step my game up, lol”…..Great video as always man✌🏽😎✌🏽
I told my wife years ago that once Mercedes, BMW and Porsche got heavily into EVs that Tesla was going to get seriously downsized. I still stand by that prediction.
Joe You're basically gonna have my dreaaam 3 car garage. How much one should earn to comfortably own these things through finance ? Asking genuinely cause people are so private about money, we sometime think some stuff or unattainable when sometimes we are just not that for off. Helps a lot setting goal post imo 😇 Keep it up 🙏🏻
8:54 to be fair, EVGo is widely despised even with electric car owners. They make it super inconvenient to charge your cars at their stations on purpose because they want you to sign up for their membership. I haven't paid or signed up for a single app with ChargePoint which is the main one. Electrify America accept cards only sometimes but they too want only memberships. Tesla chargers will always be supreme.
You hit the nail on the head with the charging issues. There needs to be one charging standard with Apple Pay/Android Pay. The whole creating an account to charge your car is ridiculous.
There are two main EV charging companies. No big deal to create an account. Apple pay and android pay add to costs for the EV company so for something that would have mostly repeat users at a decent cost no need to bring them in
I think you always have to keep in mind that if youre not using the car for mayor trips/commutes all the time you are basically gonna charge it either at home or at work ... just like a phone But the infrastructure on the charging side has to improve, 100% ...
You're one of thoes folks who's VCR stayed on flashng 12:00, havng never learned the product. All your issues would have been avoided with a liittle research. Non Tesla charging stations are hit or miss and until they fix that I'd go Tesla. You can always switch out as conditions improve.
Well said about Tesla being a bad car company. They’re a great technology company that’s pioneered electric car technology, but have major problems making a functional automobile considering they’ve had recalls for not booting on brake calipers properly…
Test drove one and didn’t like it at all. Felt big and heavy, slow and the regen braking was just weird. Yes I have a Tesla now but my last 3 cars were Porsches. I love the look of the Taycan but hated the drive. Next for me is either a Boxster T or a base 911. Note - I don’t have charging at home so another ev is probably not an option.
Siemens and VAG just announced they are investing $450 million in Electrify America service, the bulk of that money is going to be invested in DC chargers
The ELECTRIC car MARKET is DECADES away from HAVING adequate CHARGING infrastructure and that INCLUDES Tesla. Tesla's infrastructure is OBVIOUSLY better THAN the REST but EVEN their INFRASTRUCTURE is LACKING...Especially in MIDDLE America.
Ah yes you are worrying about charging like it is most important haha,...... in EU every home has solar installation in eu we dont woorying about charging - we dont have tesla chargers everywhere we have free market here we have like millions of chargers on every oil station...
the problem is not charging - the problem is for example with tesla haha... quality it sucks sooo sooo soo much it is plastic car for alot of money :) that is why im thinking tycan fo 108k usd ? kia ev6 price hmm
looks like it is better to buy in US pay 5k usd for shipping to EU and pay tax like 108k/8% is like 10k USD then You have car that cost in EU 1 million USD for only 120k USD
And another thing everytime when i watch YT from US is like when something is not in apple phone You are like cripple ppl... no apple ? rly ? wtf is wrong with you all... you need to force all software companies to do software for you not like You are all there that you stick to some company and if something is not working you cry

Tesla does this with their supercharger network, one of the many reasons they are popular
Always setting the bar high for us smaller automotive channels. Appreciate all the work that goes into these videos.
Just got mine a week ago, love it so far and I’m coming from a Carrara T manual. It’s the ultimate daily driver can’t say enough good things about it.

Your production quality is fantastic.
video quality and editing are outstanding
Love the videos. Please do a Tesla Model S Plaid video next - very curious on your thoughts.
I have a '21 Taycan and I don't use home/building charger (apt building). I only use the Electrify America chargers at Walmarts, literally plug & charge (25mins tops). My advise: the less you push, the longer the range... and its hard because this car is fun af. Good luck!!!
once you get use to charging at home, it's so much better than going to a fuel station
In Europe Tesla has opened up alot of chargers for all brands. So hopefully something that's coming to the states.
Get a red car !!
Joe, you keep making bangers with fantastic cinematography and soundtrack selection.
This car is amazing, we sold 22 Taycans here in Monaco just since start of the year.

For a software programmer, would have expected you to notice the caution sign on the CSS charger…
There’s definitely a learning curve when owning any new EV.

Any update on it working at Tesla supercharger stations now?
Stunning car. It will be mine someday.
what happened to his GT4 Spyder he said he was going to keep? We saw like one video with it and now its gone
I'm buying an electric car? nah, but here's a video! 💪🏾🔥
great review Joe
Get a black one to show how well your detailing products work on it.
I can fill up my car with an empty tank and complete my payment within three mins or so. I've placed a reservation on lightning, cybertruck, and id 4. It'll be perfect for everyday commute, but for long road trips, it's not quite there yet.
Thank you for agreeing on the need for buttons and knobs! I've been saying the same thing since I first drove it. Other than that its an awesome car
I hope the Tycan he ordered is the new wagon, it looks better than the sedan imo.
God I miss videos like this... Seriously... Day=Complete!
Oh, and Red!
Sorry about your charging troubles...i plan tom get one....put in a charger at home ....then drive around the suburbs 😅😅
legend says Joe will hopefully post again in a month lol
Good news, Editing the spyder video now. Bad news, it’s a saying goodbye video 🥹
