I've had my 4s since mid July and had it parked in the garage most evenings and connected to an EO charge point. I have a profile set to charge to 80% and use the EO timer, which is set to charge from 00:30hrs each morning to take advantage of the energy tariff.
I have used the app and it has has generally worked, its not wonderful and has limited capabilities with the odd connection issue but I've been able to initiate seat warming / cooling and check battery state / trip data.
It hasn't been perfect and I've have had a few issues that have just gone away, drive fault & emergency sos button not working for about a week. I do have a seat rattle but Porsche dealer is working on resolving that - awaiting part. Also have the problem with spoiler not being aligned which the dealer has told me porsche are aware of and so they are awaiting further details for a fix. Note the spoiler issue affects both 2020 & 2021 models I believe.
The 2020 model, at least the UK spec, doesn't have the wireless phone charger and the FoD doesn't seem to be enabled.
HOWEVER, and this is the big one, I still find myself thinking up an excuse to go out and drive the car. It is certainly a drivers car and definitely puts a smile on my face each time I get in it.
Also I have had a few different ICE loan cars from Porsche while they have had it in the workshop and honestly cannot wait to get back into the Taycan.
The choice of whether to go for a 2020 model for me, would come down to how impatient I was feeling, what sort of discount is offered & whether the additional 2021 model features were important. There is still a risk that you could wait months to get a 2021 model that shows a number of faults.
