Nice detailed video of how a Taycan is manufactured. Raises the question of what the service department has to take apart to fix something. Probably appeals to IE and factory automation types. At 13:07 they do a 918 Spyder which has a lot more hand work.

I think this guy produces some of the best quality videos for the Taycan, but more directed to UK users. So all I can say is enjoy.

With all the discussions about how best to spec a Taycan, here is RBR specs for his second Taycan. (With the exception of electric sound).

Thought this was a good demonstration of the effectiveness of the LED light options on the Taycan which might be useful when spec'ing a car . He shows two of the options. LED Cornering Headlights Porsche Dynamic Lighting System PDSL+ The narrow English roads really show how these actually work.

Took my MY2020 in for its two year service and the software update. The SA said the software update was cancelled last week as there were reports of it bricking cars on the road and it won't be re-released until its fixed. Wondering if those who have had it done will be bringing their cars...

I am looking at you @daveo4EV . I said no existing Taycan would ever charge at a Tesla Supercharger and you said I was blowing smoke. I came to this conclusion as soon as Tesla said they were opening their standard to everyone to get those Biden bucks. Does this meet the test under H.R. 5376...

Off topic, but I thought this guy was supposed to be smart.

Some track POV visuals at 3:10 mark. As discussed many times, the weight is a factor.

If you were wondering what the hit on range is at high speed is. Summary starts at 22:20 if you want to skip the talking.

Ok, this is more for entertainment value than usefulness. But could you do 13 states/provinces in 24 hours in a Taycan? Driving in Europe looks like much more interesting than driving in NA.

From Tom Moloughney. This should settle most questions people have on the new software update.

How many amps does the Taycan draw in Launch Control and say cruising on the highway at 70 mph? A calculation says if overboost power is 560 kW then the amps are 700 (Watt's law P = IV). Tesla appears to use around 1500 amps at full power. Given that Taycan voltage is twice that of Tesla...

Always one of the best sources for information on the Taycan.

There were a couple of threads about torque and gear ratios and their effect on performance which I think were quite useful though a little heated. Performance here means acceleration and speed, not handling. Taycan's handling is already superior to everyone else. Just my opinion, the only...

This one takes a little effort to wade through and lots of points/speculations that he makes that can be countered. Basically he is claiming 400v is better than 800v. ie Tesla is good and Porsche isn't. But he missed the fundamental point, and got confused about losses. Fundamentally...

Been awhile since there was Bjorn video. I thought this one raised some interesting points.

Further to an earlier thread here is a table of some different vehicles. What do you think? Is it torque or horsepower. I have ranked them by power to weight (hint). If the numbers are super wrong let me know. Vehicle Base Price USD Engine Vehicle Weight in lbs Horsepower...

I don't think I am going to trash my tires. Anyways fun for the lads.

If you weigh 150 lbs., live in Denver and have 19 inch tires you are. Or perhaps you are wondering if I get that gym membership and lose 50 lbs., how much will I save if I drive my Taycan 20,000 miles per year. For my area that would be $2.06 if I charge off peak and $4.39 if I charge on peak...

I had been waiting for the 70 mph range tests for the Lucid Air and Mercedes EQS before publishing an updated comparison plot and table. I have my feelings on the subject and you will have yours as everyone has different preferences. I am using the test results from Inside EVs, Out of Spec...
