The rear end and rear three-quarter view are quite nice. The profile is not very flattering, but I expect will improve once the false rear window camouflage is removed. The high ride height will require some arch cladding to pull it together. Or Porsche could backtrack and sell it with a more...

US configurator still hasn't been updated as of this morning. Wonder what the hold-up is.

Hopefully Porsche offers a smaller wheel option for the 4S, or perhaps a larger diameter disc for the optional tungsten carbide coated rotors.

>$100k four door cars have nearly universal high rates of depreciation. If battery technology advances, that is another possible hit to resale. Model S is a possible barometer.

Porsche will have the official record once they post an official time. Currently, that is not the case. And slapping Cup 2 R tires on the Taycan will probably be good for a ~10 second improvement, which only halves the difference. These are exciting times, but they would be so much more fun...

Agreed, this is the antithesis of a typical Porsche model line launch. I don't fault them, and I understand the reasons, but let's call a spade a spade.

I'm surprised by the weight. Taycan is ~25% heavier than a Model 3 LR AWD (or M3P), and slightly heavier than even a Model S LR (which has a larger battery). I imagine some of that weight will be reflected in overall solidity and build quality, but Taycan is a seriously heavy car at over 5k lbs.

Or hedging against the threat of tariffs.

Frunk appears smaller than in a 991 (even a 991 4S, for that matter).

Sadly, Porsche has the rest of their lineup to protect.

Appears to be a new fabric upholstery option. Imagine it will be branded as Porsche's Sport-Tex in the options list.

992 is available with optional (~$900) black calipers on standard or PCCB brakes. Wouldn't be surprised to see them offer the same on Taycan.

This lighting unit design is a nice bit of jewelry. @PAG_J1 , do you expect this to be the standard spec or a cost option upgrade?

No need for adolescent name-calling, take it elsewhere. I'm happy for everyone that has deposits down, or is on their dealer list, or otherwise plans to buy a Taycan. I'm part of that group as well. But the range concern has lacked teeth on this forum, and many others, regarding Taycan...

All of the official Porsche statements and press releases have consistently, and specifically, stated that range will be over 500 km as measured in accordance with the NEDC (a test that was rendered obsolete September 2017). They haven't wavered on this position, nor have they updated it to a...
