Different regions have different standards, but in the US wardrobe doesn’t matter nearly as much as just making an appointment. A friend referring your to their SA is also a good connection, but if that’s not possible, just calling and making an appointment ahead of time works wonders.

No car is perfect for all people in all conditions. The 911 TTS comes the closest, to me, but being a jack of all trades sports car is also master of none.
the taycan is just outstanding as a daily driver with rush hour traffic. So comfortable, quiet, smooth, fast. No clutch slip at low stop...
this is normal for the panamera and cayenne and other product lines. It’s really just some of the most special sports cars that play by different rules. Even the high end 911 TTS has historically taken a big hit, at least before 2020. Basically, panamera < 911 < GT < limited editions

the gearbox exists because that was the only way the j1 platform could hit the minimum saleable range targets with the battery tech and power train efficiency they had.
The End
No. In my jurisdiction there’s no tax credit for trade ins. A huge cost to switch for just one year. I have a ‘22 with the glass roof and don’t find the variable roof, while cool, to be like $50k cool.
429hp vs 616hp. Not quite 50% more power.
the transmission will still kick down, but it’s unusual since you just don’t need more power very often. I also use the chrono sport dial on the steering wheel to change modes regularly if I anticipate wanting a little more vigor ….
Anyway, no, a refreshed Taycan will come out after the macan launch. Porsche is an SUV company with a motorsports division. They won’t risk messing up the macan EV. It’s nearly existential
It’s going to be a lot heavier, so it’ll need more hp, and hp is really cheap to add to EV. I could see 600hp!!! (only in overboost in launch control, otherwise 500 99.9% of the time) like the taycan TTS has 770hp! Lolz not really.
The Cayenne could easier do taycan levels and slot above a...
it almost outsold the 911. One of the Porsche execs (CFO? don't recall) bragged about how large the BEV premiums they could charge to their customers. So not much risk of abandoning the taycan.
batteries are never going to be swapped quickly
first, batteries are becoming structural chassis elements, as Tesla is showing. This offers significant weight savings and is much much more valuable to performance than hot swappable batteries.
second, the improvements to charging architecture...
