The choice of a 2.3 ton EV station wagon for track work raised a few eyebrows- the Taycan is unsurprisingly inefficient but surprisingly effective (certainly in Turbo form on a track such as this), but the Precision course was a sensible and enjoyable way to explore its full potential.
Even in...
My EVSE installer has advised me that my unit will shortly be due a recommended annual service, comprising:
EV charge unit clean and inspection; EV charge cable clean and inspection; Check internal connections; Plug in test.
Ā£100.
Anyone ever had any issues with their EVSE that such a basic...
The GTS being the sweet spot in each Porsche model's range is an oft-stated opinion of fans and the motoring press (personally, I disagree- at least for the Taycan, I think it's the 4S, but that's beside the point for this thread) so Porsche's recently declared sweetspot between the Taycan GTS...

I've saved this URL at the summary of acceleration figures-

Interesting that the 0-100 time without launch control was only 0.2s longer (IIRC, similar to the timed differences for Turbo and 4S).
...I swear I just saw it, fleetingly, bottom item on the main PCM display menu, when I got in the car today (I'd just unplugged the power supply so could see the charge screen until I got in). I didn't notice what menu was showing (and I don't recall whether the item box was ticked), but...
Thought it might be of interest here as it's no less reasonable a Taycan alternative than some of the others considered on the forum.
(I couldn't find a thread specifically for the GT variant)

Summary
Dream-like effortlessness for car and driver. Iāve done more miles in the few weeks Iāve had it than my previous car did this year- the vast majority have been just for the fun of it, on country roads.
(My previous car was a Cayenne E-hybrid which has similar weight, length and width...
In case anyone else was wondering what the combined effect is, here's a gallery of a vehicle for sale.
I like the pseudo-individual look that the standard 2-tone interiors give the rear seats, but adding deviated centres breaks up the seat bottom more than I'd like.
Obviously, with deviated...
Has anyone seen tested standing-start acceleration times - without launch control- for each Taycan variant? Iāve only found this:
Turbo S 0-100kph without launch control 3.2 secs (2.7 with launch control) https://www.autocar.co.nz/porsche-taycan-turbo-s/
