Really 400 HP is not enough for you? You should have test driven the car before buying it to see if it fits your needs. I would take a 911 anytime over a Taycan. Look at the residual value. A 911 loses about 10% in 5 years, whereas a Taycan probably 50-60% if not more.
@Nadoor198014 күн бұрын
I have the Taycan, and they've done some perks. Updating to '23 software was a nice gesture, free of charge. It can charge completely overnight in my garage. I regret swapping my Cayenne Turbo for it, I feel that vehicle was far superior. I'll probably aim for that or a 911.

So far, the Porsche Taycan is the only EV where VW got it right for over 80%. All other models fail miserably and therefore don't sell as expected. Still, this Taycan owner does not understand it is not about the car but the software and so does not talk about the software which is miserable with VW. My partner has a 5-year old Tesla Model S and still gets monthly updates. The range has been extended 16% with these updates ONLY while batteries are degrading slowly and the range should have diminished. No other EV manufacturer comes even close to that, if they have over-the-air updates at all.

I have a Boxster, Macan, Panamera and a 992 GTS. There is no comparison between the Taycan and 992. In the UK the dealers acknowledge that the people buying Taycans are not interested in Porsche or the heritage mainly the tax breaks that end in 2025. Porsche openly admit to having a huge problem because to be able to sell 911's they need to sell Taycans.

Interesting perspective.. I actually just bought a 2023 TESLA model S Plaid. The Porsche is a better car hands down. If you’re a car guy, you will get it. If you’re looking at value, yes Tesla is better. Only problem with Porsche is infrastructure. My Wife’s Rivian is also a better car than Tesla, problem is infrastructure. Once Tesla Opens that up to the competition, you will see things significantly change.

What a beautiful car! Those rims are expensive but look amazing. I've always thought the 4S was the sweet spot in the range but I would not want to spend more than $100K on a depreciating asset, especially an EV. Certified is definitely the way to go if not buying new, I would not purchase a Porsche under any other circumstances. Look forward to the content.
Bro got a super charger in his garage 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks buddy, appreciate you watching!
Really 400 HP is not enough for you? You should have test driven the car before buying it to see if it fits your needs. I would take a 911 anytime over a Taycan. Look at the residual value. A 911 loses about 10% in 5 years, whereas a Taycan probably 50-60% if not more.
I have the Taycan, and they've done some perks. Updating to '23 software was a nice gesture, free of charge. It can charge completely overnight in my garage. I regret swapping my Cayenne Turbo for it, I feel that vehicle was far superior. I'll probably aim for that or a 911.
You have a 72 kw or a kWh battery pack?
rich people problems
HP issues? 1st world problems dude.
Nice. Curious to know what made you trade your 4s for the Tesla? Were there issues with the Porsche branded EV that you aren’t finding with the Tesla? I’m Currently in a MB GLB35 AMG and considering trading up for the new Macan EV or Grecale Folgare to join the EV market.
Loved the Taycan and believe it’s a much better drivers car. Better fit, finish, dealership experience and refinement. Lacking in range and charging infrastructure.
Trying todecide if taycan or fisker is my next ev. Currently in an loaded ipace so i think the porsche will be more luxurious but not been able to sit in a fisker
Be very, very wary of Fisker….the odds of them going bust are not low!
Extreme depreciation Taycan and AUDI e-Tron GT (sister car) now faces presents a great chance to get a great deal for faster variant but rememeber you can stil be caught by another wave of price lowering when Taycan 2 coming this year. I would not go for this car but it is a fine vehicle.
How much is this particular model?
About 80k
@@car_connections_392 TY!
I have had two of this, 2021 and 2022 - I got rid of it because of depreciation is HUGE but Taycan is the ultimate driving machine
If depreciation is a concern, you should stick to 911's

Or just buy another one in a year or two for half as much!
Tesla M3P here i love for the sheer acceleration but yes i agree battery need to be at least twice to be truely viable. Reason alot of ICE owners refuse to get one is due to the range.
range isnt really an issue with the supercharger network and the fast charging speeds. I recently did a 600 mile trip, 9 hours with 45 mins of charging. Our longest stop was for a lunch break.
why you got a tesla supercharger casually chilling in your car bedroom??? how much was it ?? am trying to see if i can get the electrify america instead
I think you have a little bit too much horsepower in your brain enjoy the car while you're alive you don't need all that horsepower in a crazy world that we live in

How do you get the tesla supercharger at home ? Who are you and how did you pull that off ?
doing view the Taycan EV. Many thing in the garage with Tesla but he bought the Taycan. Tesla may be better for him.
I’m a Porsche/PCA member forever and have owned/own all of them. U got my attention right off the bat by u clean garage and nicely detailed garage. My C4S coupe w factory sport exhaust best of the bunch. Better than my Turbo coupe. Bought in Chicago. Drove home to NYC. Greatest drive ever. The all wheel drive perfect.
Hey. Just wanna say your car is beautiful. I could never afford one but I do have an EV and I love it. Now I gotta go see if you got a new one. Good luck.
I drove the Taycan 4 CrossTurismo twice..I couldn't make myself like it. Feels too underpowered for the price point. Throw in the fact the car is massive, yet has a tiny windshield and manages to feel cramped - I was really let down. I am hoping a 4s is better but I'm not holding my breath. It is good at what it does, but it just feels really boring to drive.
I got rid of mine after 8 months…very unhappy with it. Waiting for a more performance oriented Panamera which is not an e or e-hybrid.
Not fast enough, or what made you most unhappy with it? Curious. Seems like a great car.

How long will it take you to give up "saving the world"?
Can you charge the Taycan on your Tesla charger?
You can
if you have an adapter you can
I got the base with the extended premium battery…best of both worlds. Not too expensive and wicked acceleration while having RWD handling. I also have an ICE 911 on the way 😂
How much do you need to earn to drop $100-150k on a car? I’m genuinely curious.
About $150-$200k a year is the lowest if you are somewhat responsible. (Total cost of your car+ insurance should not exceed 25% of your income).
Plummeting in value in the UK
For me it’s either this or the new macan ev
So far, the Porsche Taycan is the only EV where VW got it right for over 80%. All other models fail miserably and therefore don't sell as expected. Still, this Taycan owner does not understand it is not about the car but the software and so does not talk about the software which is miserable with VW. My partner has a 5-year old Tesla Model S and still gets monthly updates. The range has been extended 16% with these updates ONLY while batteries are degrading slowly and the range should have diminished. No other EV manufacturer comes even close to that, if they have over-the-air updates at all.
The car is far to heavy.....to big. In tge Netherlands the tested a Toyota Yaris GR with a Taycan.....and many other sportscars and EV'S, the Gr finished first, the Taycan last....
I think you would have been happy with it if it was the turbo all wheel drive version
Our government in the UK are soo anti car with soo many cameras watching you, it isn't worth owning a fast car anymore. All it does is cost you money and you cannot use it.
When u have money, u take this kind of things for granted. Many can’t even afford a motor cycle or a small car. But those with a nice luxury car are not happy with its power. This is the sinful nature of mankind.

Why not title the video properly, as in that you are "upgrading"? Or is clickbait more important?
I can go 200 miles on a full tank in my 2021 GT500 and love every second of it! 😄
The Taycan wagon is the best version. The sedan looks cheap imo…
I'm curious about the RWD Taycan. Does it feel like a RWD sports sedan when you drive it? Fun around the twisties? Little known about the Tesla Model 3 RWD: It's actually a fun car to drive. You can break it loose around the corners in a spirited drive. There's a certain feel that is missing with the AWD variants. I wonder if the Taycan is the same way.
Agree. I get to drive my 2018 RWD LR model 3 in slippery winter conditions and the way the back end steps out is very well judged.
no, the car is too heavy to do that, I could not get mine to do so
awd is better in every way
Why would you or anyone buy a 400hp electric sports car in the first place? It’s clearly underpowered.
Ill get a taycan and do a honda engine swap. That way it'll have more hursepers
Base trim Porsches are designed for people that want to say they own a Porsche without actually paying for one. The Taycan 4S and higher are absolutely insanely good cars and much closer to a 992 than a Panamera.
Do you own a Porsche?
A base 911 is plenty of car for many people, regardless of how much money they have. I think its safe to say if you have bought a $140k base 911 that you have "actually paid for one".
Some people just like the aesthetics! It's not about saying they own a Porsche. That's is a reflection of how's perceive the world buddy
@@rabernstein having driven the newest generation 992 base 911, I would have to disagree with you - my older, but optioned out 991.2 911 s was a much better drive and much more fun car.

@@rayshepherd2479 But you can fill them up in 3 minutes.
@jeffreylindley845 For driving an ICE around town you need to drive to the gas station to add gas. On the Tesla you just plug it in at home. On trips the Tesla requires some planning to limit charge time. So overall an ICE is more convenient on trips. However, with over 300 miles of range you can drive 500 miles plus per day with one stop to charge while having lunch. Then fully charge overnight and do the same the next day.
The taycan is the least efficient EV on the market.

I’ve heard the prices are dropping as cars get a little older and closer to EOL for the battery-big expense to replace. May be 8 years. What do you think?
Battery costs are dropping on average 9% per year, so in 8 years we'll have much cheaper and better batteries.
Yeah you can find these for about half price now. Found one for $68k that would be $130k new with the same specs
Should we be concerned about the age of the battery on those taycans that are 2-3 years old?
@@ravz1983 Sadly yes and yes for al EV vehicles. The prices are great but will we be starting with 80% of the original range? I like to keep my vehicles close to 10 years so the thought of the battery heading towards 50% by then is very unsettling. My 2007 BMW still gets the same range as it did 17 years ago! I'm also now seeing a lot of videos on how fast these cars are depreciating and I assume it's due to people thinking the same thing. kzhead.info/sun/ZsmKqpiZiJyqjGg/bejne.html
@charlesbcraig battery degradation is about 1-2% per year, meaning after 20 years you should have about 75%-80% batter life left.

I sold my Taycan after 5 months. Came from a 911 and was hugely disappointed in the car. Overly complex, lots of issues with the infotainment, too heavy, minimally sporty (compared to 911/718) and overall boring. It's not a Porsche to me, honestly. I have a 992 on the way and do not miss the Taycan at all. Plus the values are tanking and Porsche (US dealers) cannot sell these after the tax credit went away.
So you’re saying a car that isn’t combustion and weighs a ton more isn’t the same experience?! Did you have the turbo s? Probably minimally spec’d I’m guessing
Same in UK. Porsche dealers are weighed down with used Taycan's that no one wants.
ah the good old, if its not 911 or 718 its not a real porsche. can you name a better looking EV on the road right now? I cant so I give porsche some credit. Sad your experience wasn't good. was it 2020 base?
@@neemayaz1113 That's not my view at all. I had a high specification Turbo S. Nice build quality, not bad looking but dreadful range in the winter (which is most of the time in the UK) and fell and still falling through the floor on values. I'm not a Porsche snob. I have a Boxster, Macan, Panamera and a 992 GTS. There is no comparison between the Taycan and 992. In the UK the dealers acknowledge that the people buying Taycans are not interested in Porsche or the heritage mainly the tax breaks that end in 2025. Porsche openly admit to having a huge problem because to be able to sell 911's they need to sell Taycans. They are also in a dilemma with the electric Macan, hence they will continue to produce the ICE version. Many of my friends went electric and most have got rid.
