I agree with all the points made. This car is extremely comfortable. I've been driving mine for about a month now. I don't have surround view, but I wish I had it, especially because the front parking sensors on my Taycan are useless and never work, even after taking it to my Porsche dealership. They technically work, but they don't come on automatically; i.e., you don't hear the distance warning beeps, so I have to press the park assist for them to function and to see my distance. Another potential negative is the tyres. Being so wide, they pick up nails and screws. I already had to replace one because of a nail. Also, I have three young kids. Even with a no food and drink policy, they still manage to make a mess, which doesn't help with anxiety. Bearing that in mind, I've just bought an ID Buzz mainly for my kids to trash instead . Overall, I'm extremely happy, but as this guy says, make sure you get surround view.
Forgot to mention, I would recommend people buy tyre insurance. Some Porsche dealerships do offer maintenance, but unfortunately, mine doesn't. Porsche don't do tyre repairs, and they're not recommended for such a heavy vehicle so it will become costly.
Taycan Turbo S is an absolute weapon. I daily a Model 3 Performance that does 0-60 in about 3.1s and i thought it was super quick until i met a wild Taycan Turbo S in the weekend morning one day lol.
I just sold my ev because its value is dropping off a cliff. I was offered 50% of the new value on a 2 year old car with low mileage. Don't buy an ev or you will regret it. VW have said they will NOT fit 2024 battery technology to older cars such as the ID3 so I think the ev is a throw away item like your mobile phone. A Taycan battery is £45,000 to replace when batteries should cost £110 per kwh so £10,230. Electric car drivers are being ripped off and over charged for insurance. Many garages didn't want my ev on trade in or offered 50% of the purchase price in 2022 so be warned. A local dealership is offering £6000 to £8000 off list price for my car so like when Tesla reduced list prices my car value is devalued.

Thanks for the comments. It is a very comfortable car. As you say, there not so good with tyres!

They're pretty quick cars, and the new one is even more weapony!
you’re doing a great job of luring me out of my 718! Defo get the relaxing point but how the inertia and dexterity changing direction
It's not going to be 718 levels of point and go but for the roads it's perfect, esp with the 4WD - really agile 👍🏻
What year is your Taycan?
Mine is a 2022

I don't think it weighs 48 1/2 tons (9:31). Not even tonnes.
Yeah, few tons out, give or take
