Kinda surprised to see so much dislike towards him here. I'm not his biggest fan by any means but I find some of his videos informative enough.
He also seems to have early access to lots of new EVs before other YouTubers get their hands on them?
Guys, let's be realistic. Forget about style, bespoke platform, whatever. Porsche has sold more than 123,000 pre-lift 1st gen Taycans globally (source), and any car of that amount won't become collectables. You can think of yours as the best car ever made and that's fine, but don't expect its...
Interesting that Porsche is showing both pre and post facelift models in their configurator (at least on the US site). Guess there're still people ordering MY24 after today? (cheaper, prefer the pre-facelift exterior, etc.)
I don’t know about “a growing family” and a Macan (albeit an EV which iiuc is slightly bigger than the current ICE version).
Have you considered a Cayenne (maybe e-hybrid), or EV offerings from MB/BMW/Audi/etc?
(used) Turbo is a better buy for sure. Two important options, performance battery plus and leather interior are standard on the Turbo and optional on the 4S, and we all know how badly options depreciate.
Unfortunately US either won't let these Chinese EVs in period, or would require heavy taxes which would make the prices much less appealing.
People can despise Chinese EVs all they want, but yeah let them in and let the market decide.
It's all about what YOU want next. Do you like your Taycan? Are you considering going back to ICE because you actually want to drive one or because you're uncertain of Taycan (and maybe EV in general) depreciation?
$67k seems slightly below/inline with where the market is for a 2020 4S with 25k...
When you say "Porsche gives me 45%" did you mean a Porsche dealer? That's just the current market and not relevant to how Porsche the manufacturer "values the Taycan", if it's even a thing.
Not sure if it's just me but clicking your link goes to carscoop's homepage? Anyway, this is the full link: https://www.carscoops.com/2023/10/completely-undisguised-porsche-taycan-shows-off-newly-chiselled-cheekbones/
