It's pretty much a fact that options to avoid (or "need") is extremely subjective ("highly individual", as you put it). For example, I'd never option any wheels larger than what comes from the factory in a BEV, where larger wheels reduce range. I'd also never option a sound system; the base...
It's been circulated that the Macan Electric will have either a 100- or 105-kWh battery pack. I assume that this pack will go into the Taycan, as well, in the next year.
Not sure how a CT4 with 19-inch wheels looks remotely like a Hyundai (attached photo)... Lots of subjective thinking on appearances of any car... I personally think that the CT looks much (not infinitely, whatever that is supposed to mean) better than the sedan version.
I think that the more expensive the Taycan, the quicker (greater percentage) of depreciation you'll get (i.e., the steeper the curve). It makes sense, because people who can afford (and pay) $150k USD for a new Taycan won't be in the market for a used Taycan, ever -- so they can't be sold...
Do range data have any use if speed/temperature are not included? Every driver drives differently in terms of average speed, weather conditions, etc. There's stop-and-go normal, daily, non-highway-speed driving "around town", and then there's highway driving; some mix these daily, others do...
Regarding the defroster issue, I'm mystified as to why Porsche has had the nifty silver-coated heated windshield option in Cayennes and Macans since model year 2019 (brought over from other cars in the VW Group), but it has yet to offer it as an option in the Panamera or Taycan. I got it in my...
Porsche has been releasing information the last few weeks on the Macan Electric, regarding the larger battery pack and improved tech:

I agree about the last expectation: bigger battery pack. The Macan Electric will have a 107-kWh pack, I think it was reported recently, so the updated Taycan is likely to get that also. The biggest other thing that most people would like to see in a Taycan "refresh" is simply a better...
Thanks. No performance options at all. It comes standard with the sports chrono package and air suspension, and with the 455 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, I didn't need anything more than that. I wanted to keep my depreciation loss to a minimum by not loading it with lots of unnecessary options :)
I like the infotainment screen and buttons-design in my 2018 Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Sport Turismo more than in the Taycan. The temperature and fan speed for each front-seat occupant has a physical lever that you push up or down to change each function. There's a dial below the infotainment screen...
I am much more interested in what people are getting for range when driving always < 45 mph (< 75 km/hr), because that is how I spend most of my days driving/commuting locally (i.e., not on highways at highway speeds). I can go a week without driving > 45 mph, driving every day. I suspect...
whitex, I did not mean that you can fit a spare wheel in the existing space in the frunk; I'm saying that Porsche could re-design the frunk area to make room for a full-size wheel/tire, and they should. Those small spare wheels, whether they have to be "blown up" or not, are a joke and almost...
There's plenty of room for a full-size Taycan wheel in the frunk area, from what I can see; Porsche would have to adjust things to make a slot for the wheel, but it's very do-able. I don't understand this BEV philosophy of "no spare wheel/tire".
I have spent a lot of time all over Europe over decades, but I've not been in Europe at all in three years because of the pandemic, and haven't been in Europe outside of Italy in over 10 years). BEVs have come in so rapidly in the last few years that I expect that I'll be seeing many more BEVs...
Wow... I'm surprised that a Democrat-dominated state like Washington would be so opposed to EVs, and if this penalty applies to all EV owners (these taxes on EVs that you describe), how are there *any* EVs in Washington at all? This is more the type of regulation/taxation that I'd expect in...
