I've gotten a couple hours seat time in the Taycan Turbo and you're going to yell from excitement when you go WOT no matter what. The thing is a rocket and it feels as nimble as my 981S. Wish I could afford one!
Very expensive though. Lucid Air Dream Edition will be a better choice, I think. Much better performance (at least in a straight line). Also better range and more spacious.
@@ahpadt I'd say let's wait and see. I understand that Porsche has a great reputation when it comes to quality and driving dynamics/performance. And the company obviously has much more experience than Lucid. But by the looks of it, it appears Lucid's quality isn't shitty like Tesla's.
Porsche cars you dont understand the value and where you put your money until you drive one, I owned countless of cars including Ferrari BMWs Merc Audis even driven aventadors and Maseratis........ Even 981 Cayman GTS makes me have more smile than others, the money goes into engineering perfection, each car takes over twice as much time as other automakers does in driving engineering just to get that Porsche feel
I hate when presenters talk about how much time for a full charge at home from dead to full. While 9 hours is reasonable for overnight, it still sounds long. It is extremely rare to get home with zero miles left and to need a 100% full charge. Most often, you’ll get home with more than 50% charge and don’t need 100%. I would guess that most people would need to charge for less than 2 hours a night at home to top up. Even a 120V outlet can work for a lot of people.
Do not only hope on government for your income, as an individual try to look out for different streams of income in order to be financially independent.

Investing in Crypto trading would be the wisest and most profitable investment anyone can hop on right now cos of how profiting it is over a short period of time. No other investment comes close!

I think he meant that the weight displacement was not right for the 911 because it's rear mounted. The 911 has been in production for 70 years, so that was my thought.
Don't be so naïve. It's called artistic license. Google a person called 'Jeremy Clarkson' for a seemingly infinite number of better examples. He also happens to be a car journalist.
His comment is just dumb. Porsche has made mid engine cars 914, boxter, and the fr panamera. I don't know why he is saying 70 years. I thought he was talking about what is prob the first electric car the Porsche lohner I think it was called
Sure you do! I can get from Atlanta to a cabin in the Smokey Mountains with one charge but it then arrives near zero. There are no high speed chargers anywhere so you plug into the 110v cabin outlet and then go enjoy the outdoors for the weekend. You need a bit over 90% to then make it back...

I wish people would stop calling this a Model S rival. It's literally not even in the same class, Porsche is a much better and higher quality car. Just because they're electric doesn't mean they're rivals. It's like comparing a Dodge Charger to a Mercedes S class just because they both have V8's.
There’s a new Model S out soon. Also why is it not w rival? Priced about the same. Just because your perception of quality says one is inferior doesn’t mean they’re not rivals. Dodge and Mercedes had vastly different sticker prices so they weren’t rivals but these are. Tesla is higher tech and more efficient, Porsche is higher quality, can only use the public charging network, and is less efficient. But they are rivals. Unfortunately Tesla has become a benchmark.
@@alexz8373 absolutely. Any Porsche is very very far from any Tesla. The fit and finish, craftsmanship and service is in a whole other league from anything American. Anecdotes from single users on anonymous random forums is nonsense.

0:11 how you can compare 4 diffrent class? So the taycan is more of a panamera wich compare to an 8 series not to an 4 series(not an i4),then with the model S wich is a competitor to an 5 series or an E klass(not an S or an EQS),and then then the EQS wich is a competitor to an 7 series🤯

“Porsche has finally put the weight down in a sensible place, it only took them 70 years”. What an asinine comment. Porsche has been the benchmark for sports cars for decades.
Yes but they’ve had most of the weight hanging out behind the rear axle. Their cars have been a triumph of engineering over physics. That’s what he means, and he is correct.
