No it’s to drag up prices on base products with “halo anchoring” while delivering less and less.
Look at Porsches new base products. They are a joke in price/performance/spec ratio.
I mean come the heck on, Porsche is trying to push into Ferrari territory with tuned mass market vehicles while...
Because this is like a GT Panamera, just a totally pointless product.
I have a Cayenne GTS, which you could say the same thing about, but actually the car is faster over rough road and terrain than a dedicated sports car. The Turbo GT extends that making it a rally/ track car you can use...
This feels like a shark jump moment for Porsche.
The price, performance, 2 seat 4 door, etc all just are very very underwhelming and pointless.
This is a gran touring car, and one of the greats, but this product lacks any of the elements that make either track or tourer work well.
It’s purely...
‘if you are not willing to deal with unlimited numbers of them then it’s not for you. Wait a year or two. Aka if you are asking this questions, don’t do it.
Only 4.5 hours at 90mph. Which in California is “legal” (20 over rule).
once during height of covid I made it in 3 hours 50 min downtown SF to Hollywood bowl.
improbably did 10 runs in the taycan S.F. to LA. They were my best and worst memories of the car. Those first ones had so many...
You know that’s a fair point I hadn’t thought of. Essentially and extra 50-75 miles means you can make it to the next EA station if the one you used to need was down.
That is a bit of a game changer. SF to LA would mean you could make it to
Lost Hills rather than Harris Ranch at 84mph.
range needs to effectively double to make a difference from the v1 Taycan. Effective range at 85 mph was only 190 mi. Needs to get to 400 to compete with lucid etc to get me back in one.
Would love that thought but this isn’t it. Probably barely 270 mi at 85 mph now.
why can’t get get the S.F...
Yea had one of the earliest 4Ss and same experience. I just sold it for a profit and moved on. It’s fine they are probably better now but many 2020s were rough.
Porche uses the best plastics in the industry by far and much better than Tesla who easily is some of the worst short of the Korean low end.
however your Tesla wasn’t as low and aggressively hooded as this. Not to mention it had upper lid lights vs teslas grill forward lights. This attracts a...
I leased in 2020 and the total cost over the course of the lease plus trade in was drumrolllllllll
+10k
that’s right I made 10k putting 15k miles on it.
Obv not the same today but I dunno why insane math you are doing
but we aren’t talking about Volvo. We’re talking about Porsche software which is downright abysmal. If Porsche was willing to give up UX to google I’d consider getting a Taycan again.
If I’m reading you right you live in the Bay Area like me. Here are my location dependent suggestions:
- air suspension is mandatory due to our crap roads.
- Rear axle steering is critical for city driving. This car is muuuuch bigger than you expect.
- surround view is critical due to the very...
It’s not uncommon for dealers to screw up the software configuration on these and disable features in software when doing updates. Happened to me. The dealers are mostly an embarrassing disgrace when it comes to this car so insist it gets fixed.
Mine tried to tell me “tough” when they disabled...
