I own an M3P. Taycan is to MP3 as Carrera is to Corvette.

As I've posted before, I'm choosing to wait for the beta trial to end before I buy. Please don't "what about Tesla" me. Porsche should be contrite about selling this car, and I'm a Porsche lover!

Maybe you can explain to Jonny G how he’s delusional. No one denies Taycan driveability or the positive experience among those who have invested in the product. But get real…the car has documented problems. Denying that is your perogative.

To the contrary, I stated my complaints about the Tesla in my original post. Thankfully, none are dangerous or life-threatening. Had that been the case, I would not have purchased it. In my case, the car has been operationally perfect. One sheet metal panel doesn't have perfect gapping, but...

I appreciate your advice, but my decision was also based upon conversations with a very knowledgeable Porsche service adviser whose opinion I trust. As I await the improved product, I fortunately have other options to walking. One such option is my 911, which is close to automobile...

I think we all recognize that saying there is a much higher incidence of problems than usual does not imply that every car is faulty. I happy for you that you got a good one. If I could be assured of that, I'd be driving one. I would also say that sometimes it seems that forum aficanados are...

Argumentum a fortiori. No car is perfect, and this one is exceptionally beautiful, but like some women in my past, gorgeous but flawed beyond redemption...at least for the time being. Just my opinion.

I'm a Porsche fan and have owned seven P cars over the years. I have two in the garage as I write this. I recently decided to dispose of my Tesla M3P and replace it with an EV with a more luxurious interior and a quieter, smoother ride. While I wanted to love the Taycan, the unusually high...

From the first time I laid eyes on the Taycan, I deemed it the best looking sedan on the road. Period. However, in my mid seventies I did find ingress and egress a bit uncomfortable, but perhaps bearable in light of its beauty and drivability. What really concerns me living in SoCal and...

Remember all the pretty young women with psycho personalities? That's why I'm waiting for Taycan to mature a little bit. In the interim, my Model 3 Performance is plenty enjoyable...and bulletproof.

As a retired attorney/real estate investor, please educate me regarding the opening gambit in your negotiations when the dealership gets 2 allocations/month with a waiting list of 20 ahead of you.

I'm not sure which one of us is the "killer", but I am sure that Taycan is not made better by bashing the alternatives, especially when (in the case of Tesla) there are many universally recognized merits. While I could make the argument that there are some vehicles that could possibly wear the...

I think your 4S order makes eminent sense for all the reasons you cite. And, I congratulate you on your financial independence. That said, your credibility is suspect when you describe your Tesla as an "absolute POS" based upon, blah, blah, blah. In my opinion, your proposition fails by...

I'm in total agreement with you. Glitches in a $150,000 car should be the exception and rare, if at all. Perhaps I'm ultra picky, but on those few occasions over the years when a new car has an intermittent flaw(s), it really bugs the crap out of me and ruins the driving experience. For that...

Feye, given the name of this thread, your comments have to be a joke, right? Also, you don't seem to like Elon Musk, which is certainly your prerogative, but I would say to you, and whitex, that a strong argument can be made that he's the most influential man in the auto industry since Henry...

Could it be that you’re the mythical person??

Good points. My lengthy history of car ownership is testament to the creeping boredom factor. Although that can be a bit costly, the same phenomenon in the case of female relationships can be crushing :) Since I rarely keep my vehicles more than 2-3 years, I likely won't have a problem. I...

There is no “mythical person”, but there are some real people. The modus operandi is to ignore the obvious and incontrovertible merits of another vehicle while pointing out equally obvious inferior points vis-a-vis Porsche. Reasonably common commentary on car forums. Surprised this has escaped...
