Your reviews are always professionally done. I'm a big fan of this channel. But Thomas, can you please buy a small laser rangefinder to measure the trunk dimensions? Have a nice day and stay safe!
Did you dress like that on purpose so that you would match? It looks nice!
Hi Autogefühl, TH-cam is recommending this channel - th-cam.com/channels/wqs7-BnUreBJMfXHU4dZFg.htmlfeatured - is it also you? Looks like it might be, but also could be ripping off your content to make shorter videos?
You're the best car reviewer I've ever come across. Really enjoy your presentations. Keep up the great work
Thanks so much!
Thomas is pure class!

Don't worry. You've got to pay your bills.
Best review I’ve seen of the Taycan! Thank you Thomas. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
👌
If I win the lottery this is top of my shopping list.
Me too !
Every time I watch this I become more and more impressed with your knowledge, integrity and communication skills. You are telling me what I need to know as someone who loves cars and driving, which most reviewers are not capable of doing. Thank you!
33:09 😂comedy gold
😂
I have bout several cars off the back it Thomas review from the e43 to the Taycan Turbo he just tells it as it is very honest reviewer gets to the point.
Having the turbo for over 1 month agree 100% with the review. The only criticism I have is the Porsche pcm it is not up to scratch but you need to live with the car for a month. Drive wise what he says is the truth ! 👍🏾keep up the great work I hope you do a 911 turbo s review ?
probable the best review i seen, i have followed you for 1 month now and you are one of the best in the world with your detailed reviews. Love it. Love from sweden
As always, great job Thomas!
Thomas is back at it!!! 💪
Great review; in depth, balanced and clear, with even a touch of passion thrown in (sparingly!).
Thank you for taking such time over your reviews, they are the best out there.
🙏
I also love his reviews, think my favourite so far is the T-Roc convertible. Working my way through the rest of the reviews each evening. Great humour aswell!
A very detailed and enjoyable watch, thank you!
the best as always👏🏼
thanks my friend!
About time indeed! Yaayyy
Nice, perfect video for a slow working afternoon... :)
It's great to see how you interpret the car; nice journey.
excellent review and incredibly detailed. Thank you for doing such a great job!
🙏🙏🙏
Yeah, this one is very impressive car and very good review, really like your informative videos.👍
One of best reviewers out there! Always enjoy ur vids Thomas 👍
🤗
Impressive car for sure. Agree it’s the best driving Porsche today. Just did 1906km going through half of Norway over steep mountains on Norway’s west coast. Range is good enough for almost anything. Can easily do +500km in Range Mode if you feather the throttle. Going fast up mountains 300-350km is achievable and the charging network is OK in the south of Norway with plenty fast +150KW chargers. Up north you are stuck with 50KW chargers mostly or overnight 16A at hotels gaining 100-150km over night. Ferries and toll roads are 50-75% discounted in an electric vehicle. Love the Taycan.
👌
Not the paint I would pick, but... daaamn, it's one beautiful car. I like how you've highlighted details I haven't seen in any other review.
I also see that they've made screens really responsive - it used to be an issue in pre-production units.
Super review, amazing car
The white one with the white wheels was for sure my favorite color in the video. Thanks for the great content throughout the years 👍🏾
😊
Really great honest review with real world application.. this is why autofuguel and Thomas reviews are best👌
😎👌
Awesome car, starting to warm for electric cars. Ps, i like the sound thing
really like your style of car reviews, good job
Thanks stay with us
I love the accentuated sound for this car.
Great indepth review.
You make the best car review hands down. Thank you Thomas
Highly appreciated! Please recommend 🤗
Honestly about the sound: It doesn't matter if you need it or not. You can turn it off or on! That's the best part of it. If you like it go for it, if not leave it off.
YEEEEEES THE BEARD TRIMMER IS BACK!
I personally think that sound booster gives you a special experience. I quite like that electric motor sound and I would probably leave that thing on.
Very nice review! The best review actually! 👍🏻💯
🙏🙏
This is by far my favourite Porsche design. Such a great design
Yea have seen couple of them on the road and it have some cool presence.
Thank you Thomas, and thank you Porsche for to make an amazing electric car!!! First EV which looks like car and not like wash machine with wheel. Chapeau for Porsche!!!
Great episode!
cheers m8 !
I need my drivers license for something, hmmm ...??? That was so cool, that you stayed so calm when that Audi crossed you on the right side. Great review as always.
✌️🤗
Great car, awesome color "new Thomas blue" and finally an animal skin free Porsche!!!
I hope we see you in the new targa soon! Best reviewer, best Porsche.
👌🙏
Very enjoyable and relaxing to watch. Missing Jonas’ great camera work but amazing work Thomas! I like the electric sound at high speed acceleration. City driving with no sound will be lovely. Reminded me of Thomas’ B9 S4 review where he described the driving experience as “serenity” over a shot of the wing mirror at speed. That scene comes in my mind when cruising in my A4 black ed. Thank you very much. Pure driving passion !
thansk m8 ! Jonas will be back soon =)
That airplane taking off sound is addictive
Nice work thank you 😊
🙏🙏
I enjoyed this review. Thanks, Thomas! Keep it up! Tolles video! 👍🏽
I hope to buy the Porsche Taycan someday and also hope the charging infrastructure gets better by then.
(Also, seeing the autobahn and the city/town made it nostalgic for me since I was born in 🇩🇪, but now live in the 🇬🇧)
cheers feel free to share =)
The interior is a bit too spartan for me but the car looks like a lot of fun to drive. Thank you for another excellent review. 👍
Sound definitely on!
Starting point 5 minutes away from home 😍 Willkommen im Bergischen Land ! 😍
Great review, as always. Worth the wait.
To my eyes the Taycan has beautiful styling, especially from the front and side profile.
The roofline from A pillar to C pillar is what the Panamera should have always had. Hopefully in the next generation
thanks for tuning in !
Thomas, your reviews and analysis are excellent and very entertaining. Thank you.
Thanks man
Best reviews :)
welcome ! =)
Thank you for the funny, informative, and detailed review, as always, Thomas! However, I was surprised that you made no mention of the 2-speed automatic transmission. Very few TH-cam reviews have directly addressed the 2-speed in a detailed way, other than saying it gives the Taycan better higher-speed acceleration than the Tesla Model S Performance. I was hoping you would address whether it is in any way clunky and how noticeable it is in everyday driving. I don't think it upshifts until 100 km/h, but I have seen some reviews mention that the downshifts can be a bit annoying at slower speeds. Hope that you can address this in the future! Keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks 🙏 i did mention in the exterior part. Noticeable? Not really
Hi Thomas, Thx for the very good review of the Porsche Taycan 4S. Just wanted to mention that sound in E-cars is more of a security matter. There have been a lot of accidents with pedestrians and cyclists that do not hear the E-cars approaching. So a side from a V8 sound or a V6 sound or a sportsound, some kind of sound is necessary to prevent traffic accidents mainly in the cities.
...while visiting here..be sure to ask Thomas for one of those newly- available good- luck , smiling and nattily- attired Thomas Voodoo Dolls...that you can dangle handily up there on your rear- view mirror, to keep you safe out there on the road...ahhh...just kidding...
..really loving all your always serious..yet still wildly humorous..and always honest Thomas reviews...with your so very crisp, very sharp-eyed and very sharply -crafted reviews..keep up the great work, Herr Thomas..ausgezeichnet..and vielen dank..as always..
Thanks keep tuning in 🤗
Agree 100% on the sport sound. Sounds fun for about 5 minutes when you are flooring it. As soon as you start driving normally, it gets annoying REALLY fast. I think my opinion is the same as yours. Sounds like something is wrong with the car.
I’m surprised you fit in the back so well. I am 6’2” and sit pretty far back. I could barely get into the rear seat behind myself
Yeah, a really honest review - that's really a relieft instead of many fan boys. So what I would like to see is the self parking ability especially where the vehicle has to back several meters (at least 10 meter) in a narrow path.
Thanks 🙏
I am not an EV fan, but watching your video makes me wanting it just for fun.
😎
I love those wheels
Pump it up yo! 🚗💪🆙
Dear Sir thank you for the exquisite review. I heard the cross Turismo was announced to a porsche dealer here in asia to be ready for purchase on the road in July 2020. Would you have any information regarding the cross turismo? Danke
Great review. I would keep the fake sound off. The silent immediate acceleration is what makes EVs so impressive.
Great quality review as always Thomas. I will consider this car as my only car in the coming years here in the Netherlands as the charging infrastructure becomes better. 800V should give it an edge in terms of charging speed even though it is very hard to compete with Tesla’s charging network.
🤘
this design is magnificent!
Great review!
Keep in mind this is first gen, batteries are pretty much old tech now, also the power train. Second gen will be massive.
The dual screen setup is similar in logic to that seen on the Infiniti Q50, a surprising step back for Porsche
I like the sound. Actually they should amplify and expand the mic signal further using analog processing so it sounds natural.
It seems like it is suitable for almost any inexperienced driver of sports cars, very stable and safe, giving good confidence to control; the sound not necessary but suppose it just gives an impression that there is actually power going to the wheels. In contrast the user interface appears terrible although I would never say no to owning the car if I had the chance. Great reviews, the Thomas blue looked great in that model!
thanks kevin!
You're gorgeous! Thanks for reviewing this wonderful car.
🙏
Full hd full screen and full lenght with Thomas 💫💫💫🙋🏻♂️🙏
yay!
Thomas, would you suggest getting the thermo Insulated glass option? Worth it? Noticable sound difference?
Sir -- would you recommend the thermo insulated glass? Worth it?
Wanted to ask on your range comments. I believe that they were all based on WLTP figures? Have you tried any tests of the cars you were mentioning in both range mode and sporty driving? As Bjorn had seen 440km at 90kph with the 79kWh battery I am not sure you will see a dramatic difference and realize that the Taycan 20" tires has 285mm in rear vs 245mm for Tesla.
Based on different experiences, test drives, colleagues, test drivers, consumption kwh figures. I am referring to everyday driving figures and dont try to do a maximum range run as this is not realistic for normal driving without caring too much about range
@@autogefuehl that is fair enough. Have you/your colleagues similar experiences from the Tesla Model S as well?
Yeah, the Teslas are definitely better in range as i said, but Porsche leads in refinement and agilt
@@autogefuehl yes, but I did not follow why it was said road trips or long commutes would be an issue with an EV getting over 200mi range and that can charge very fast.
That was at 120 km/h. The range for 90 km/h was 579 km.
th-cam.com/video/VB24iJbusgQ/w-d-xo.html
Also, by the way, there is no "kph", the correct way to abbreviate kilometers per hour is km/h. I know that can be hard for Americans who is baffled by "/" but it's the SI standard (SI units, SI standard for how to write them).
Great review, what's the color name of they grey colored one??
Great review. Did you miss the heads up display option? I have heard that it messes up the look of the dash. Your thoughts?
Hmm well the steering wheel does block the instruments when placed low
26:49 "look at how stable the car is..." drives over the white line :D
It's so cool❤️❤️🔥🎉
Porsche sound!!~!!
The color is "electric blue" ... missing the 80's ..love the episode 7
Thanks for the review Thomas, I would like to find out if the vehicle you tested really had PDCC, I think what you felt was only the base chassis control managed by the air suspension. PDCC is a quite expensive option and only used in the very dynamic (read aggressive/fast) driving.
Also range wise you can see Bjorn got 440km on a 4S with the smaller battery at 90kph so range wise it's not so much different than other efficient EVs. Also folks have taken it on a 11k mile road trip around the United States thru Canada in the snow so road trips are feasible as long as you have fast chargers available.
Thanks! It even had a PDCC gauge in the left instrument cluster to pick from, so yes
@@autogefuehl thank you. What a well equipped 4S. I was planning on omitting PDCC and PTV+. Now I will think more.
I also think PDCC is not really that necessary
@@autogefuehl I'm sorry Porsche didn't give it to you in Thomas (Gentian) Blue. But at least it was animal free which I know you appreciate from watching many of your reviews.
yes indeed! Its a cool color though. Gentian however we had in the very first static episode, also seen in some of the exterior static shots here :)
As a Tesla fanboy I never thought I'd say this but,
Porsche Taycan > Model S
Sir, I know this is perhaps a strange question but it's not arbitrary, I am considering a base Taycan n Model Y. I have test drove the taycan 4s and as you say, it feels like a small car to drive (in a good way). I loved it. I have tested model 3 not NOT model Y.
It's not a fair comparison, but I'd like to ask if you have driven the model Y perforrmance and what do you say about the driving experience difference. Of course the Y is higher but the accelration is actually higher than the base taycan and the cost difference is large. I am quite sure the driving exprerience of the taycan is better but is it worth 40 t0 50K euros for that driving experience to someone who is not a millioanaire.
I personally like electric vehicles having extra sound during acceleration. It might be cool to have simulated sound from the Koenigsegg Regera since that also has one forward "gear". It might also be nicer for passengers that would otherwise not have known that level of acceleration was coming/happening.
city looks so nice .. is that Bremen ? Germany is such an under rated country
The bird chirping in background is classic. The electric power going down during winter months. Why is that the case?
Great review as always! I agree with your take on the sport sound: I tried the car myself, I prefer it switched off. It‘s an electric car, no artificial sound needed.
I am just waiting for the battery to be upgradable. Right now it‘s not possible. I don‘t want to buy a car that will be obsolete in 3-6 years when solid state batteries may be standard
👌
After having driven only EVs for 2 yrs, my biggest regret was not buying a EV the moment one was available, even if it had just been a around town short range car. This Porsche charges plenty fast and has more than adequate range, nothing else is needed as far as the battery is concerned, whether its solid state or Li is unimportant. Tech changes so fast, the car you're waiting on will be obsolete the moment you get it, so why wait? Just jump in where we are, and get away from fossil fuels, you wont regret it.
Oh lord Thomas is such a snack
22:27 Thomas is the back seat.
😂
I'll say it for you Thomas. NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE ON A TOUCH SCREEEEEEEEN. when I test drove the model 3 I wanted to punch the face of the screen. I didn't because I'm Canadian.
Re: the gear selector. Now why didn't they actually make it removable so it could actually be a real shaver? That would have been super duper cool. Re: those aero wheels. Ewwwwwwwwww. Icky pooey.
And more sporty than a 911? Wah, the Porsche fanatics are making their Thomas voodoo dolls! For me, this is a beautiful car. Not a fan of that colour but it's great you can get 4s with non leather. Nice review. Oh wait, why don't you sell Thomas voodoo dolls?
😂
About the electric sport sound, and what i understand it, different recuperationsystem. I guess its easier to get used to EVs that way, if you come from ”normal” cars. More similaritys, so to say. Its just a thought, but in my case that would help a lot, and that made me have second thought about EVs at least. Learning an old dog to sit could be difficult🤣 By the way, really like your rewiev🙂
Thanks 🙏 please recommend our channel 😊
Interesting that you should find it feels small. I drive a Panamera daily. I had a Taycan TurboS for 2 days and couldn't get head around how much smaller, lighter and nimble it felt.
Do porsche send updates of software like tesla?
The electric sound is very helpful in cities where it alerts pedestrians - sound is louder outside than inside the car!
Suuuuuuper!!
Τhomas do you know if a basic Taycan comes in the market next year?Excellent review and for me frozen blue is the best color for taycan buyers!A special colour for a special car not like the common colours black grey white red etc that you can see in every ordinary car.
I guess they ll make a cheaper entry version
@@autogefuehl thank you Thomas!please tell me if you liked the frozen blue in real life would you recommend it or you prefer some other colour for Taycan!your answer matters a lot to me!
Ι m waiting an answer please
If you can't get your weight down, please keep it low, so it works :) Artificial sound isn't necessary, but in EVs and hybrids, me personally annoys that recuperation sound.
Without the sound is incredible, that droning sound would just freak me out
When the "sports sound" was switched on it seemed to give an aural connection to the rate of travel. When switched off it was maybe less able to get the impression of how fast you were travelling. This is probably something to do with our familiarity with ICE sounds. Maybe in a generation people will learn new ways to appreciate acceleration and rate of travel.
yes good point
Thanks Thomas. Is the seat material just like the sport tex in the rest of the range? How are the turning signals? is it tough to use like it is in the '718? The rear camera is the same on the 718 - it's weird, i don't particularly like it - Mercedes does that better. I like it without the electronic sound
It is sport tex in the middle, yes! Turning signals is the new one like from the new panamera, better than before
Boahhh, so ein schönes Auto in "Baby" blau... Geht ja gar nicht!
Wäre für mich ein Fall für Folie!
Tolles Video👍👍👍
Danke! Die Farbe kommt egtl. sehr gut an überall =)
@@autogefuehl man kann das Auto mit Bübchen folieren lassen😂
Great, comprehensive review as usual Thomas. However, I do think you're selling the 4S's range short.
There was a gentleman who drove his Taycan Turbo S over 10,000 miles from/through Canada into and around the US back to his home state near the Canadian border. He drove a good portion of his trip in cold, subfreezing, wintry, mountainous weather on winter tires to boot. And the worst mileage he got was about 180 miles (he ranged between 180-240, driving 'very fast' in the western and southern states of the US he admitted). And that was a Turbo S.
Actually, it's the Tesla's that do substantially poor in cold weather and/or poor conditions. The Taycan and Tesla's mileage are downright comparable in the Real World. Considering what you get in driver satisfaction, the Porsche's more than worthwhile choice for many drivers.
thanks !=)
hehe well rather say a little less and dont get stuck somewhere... we ll see how it plays out long term
@@autogefuehl
Haha!
Gotcha!
Nice car, nice shape, a fun drive - but too expensive! A second-hand e-Golf is better value! Great driving part, Thomas. Live on tape, the most authentic driving experience! A special coating on the brakes to prevent rust when not being used - I wish all cars had that! Many thanks for your work, Thomas. Best wishes.
best wishes!
The best Taycan review ever.
A question. How does Taycan's sound compare to BMW (Hans Zimmer) and Mazda (MX-30)? Which one is more engaging?
I have owned a Model 3 Performance for 3 months, to be honest, it's boring to drive, I feel bored everyday while driving.
It lacks something that makes me excited. I want to know the vehicle is working harder and harder, and we (the driver and the car) are getting closer and closer to the limit. A digital number is not enough. I really need some acoustic feedback to get excited.
This Taycan's sound is, yeah, I don't know. It's great to hear the shift, but at high speed, the sound is not that exciting.
Thanks! I felt the porsche sound was quite better than the bmw
