Actually, it coast better than most ICE cars. One of my favorite features. Like you, I'm glad they didn't try to emulate Tesla.

When my dealer was unable to deliver my Macan for ~3 weeks because of some paperwork problem, they gave me a Panamera hybrid loaner for those three weeks. I found that acceptable.

Not very attractive, IMO.

Don't know the other posters CU, but DCU still has 1.24% for 65month (with a 0.25% EV discount on top of their 1.49% rate for members): https://www.dcu.org/borrow/vehicle-loans/auto-loans.html

Yeah, 3 extra miles would be killer ;)

Yes, it is available for all models in their line-up. That does not mean that they can/will retrofit sold cars. Also amusing that they are proud that "Porsche made this improvement at the suggestion of its customers", but leave the same customers hanging, wondering if they are SOL wrt to this...

Ok. Still ugly.

We weren't ready for two BEVs - I like to combo of Taycan and BMW X5 45e (hybrid). X5 battery is ok for school/shopping runs, and I don't have to do any advance planning if a longer trip comes up.

Not the right car for stoplight racing. Once moving it's in the Panamera 4S ballpark, which people may or may not find slow.

That's not how physics works.

Yeah, LC on the RWD isn't particularly mind-blowing.

Cherry metallic in the sun is great! No luck with that around here these days... Agree on the limestone - I really dislike beige in most forms, but the limestone looks great with cherry red.

Similar gap in my standard interior MY 21 RWD. Annoying, but not bad enough to have them take apart the interior trim.

Where does the "mostly" air cooled come from? Porsche says: "Electric motors convert more than 90 per cent of the energy into propulsion. But just as in an internal combustion engine, the losses are converted into heat that has to be dissipated. That is why the motors have a cooling water...

When your assumptions lead to the nonsensical result that Porsche is limiting the duration of max power just to spite their customers, it's time to have another look. If battery cooling is not the limiting factor for the 4S, one would assume it's one of the components not shared with the turbo...

Yes, talking about speed vs time, that's exactly what I'm saying (or rather, that's what Car & Driver measured): Panamera 4s: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a37805728/2021-porsche-panamera-4s-by-the-numbers/ Taycan RWD PB+...

Fun fact: Taycan RWD (!) is faster 60-100mph and 60-130mph than a Panamera 4s.

So what do all the Lambos, McLarens etc do? Circle around Knightsbridge/Kensington forever?
