Schematic renderings of the battery pack showed a big cutout or gap in the rear seat where the feet are. That surprised me bc of the potential battery performance impact. Perhaps they’ve changed their mind though that would seem late in the game.
You seem far more rational in your suspicions and fears than anyone who says “over-speculating forum dudes ... bugging out” ...
I’m coming from a Tesla S Performance and it’s a beautiful car but Porsche has a chance to crush it with real performance and performance-inspired styling...
That was a well thought answer. I believe year 1 & 2 will hold up but I’d add that battery management & performance are potential for downside. Fit & finish plus better service will help vis-a-bis Tesla.
Ultimately depreciation (I think) will conversge similarly to like ICE cars.
Note the discontinuity in battery cells at the feet in the back seat. The advantage to this deign is the foot height can be normal. In the proposed Tesla Roadster everyone bites the step up. There, like the S, 3 and X... batteries are continuous in the skateboard front to back.
To be determined...
The other thing to keep in mind is that the skateboard design (batteries in the board) creates a low center of gravity which helps driving in the snow.
I’ve had 5 winters in my Tesla P85 and can say the car drives really well in winter. I do not have air suspension but in Indiana... I haven’t...
New to the forum. Drive a Tesla P85 and thinking I’ll put down a deposit.
I like that the best guesses are that Taycan will be shorter than the S. I’ll miss the interior simplicity but I want a better driving car.
