I want to share my review on the longterm ownership of the taycan turbo s.
First off... This is a fantastic driving ev sports sedan. Im biased but i think its the best Ev sports sedan out there to date still. I have over 18k miles on it and not one issue with it.
There are rattles from the sublime burmester sound system, which i had to take to a stereo shop and have them dynamat the interior doors for. Porsche needs to engineer the doors for hi end audio speakers so that the mechanisms in the car door do not rattle when you turn up ur beautiful sound system.
I want to speak about range. I drive this car fast and i have to say it manages range well for driving it fast above 80 miles an hr for extended periods of time. I still get 200 miles easily and thats driving with ac blasting and doing over 80 mph on avg for a few hrs with 22 inch vossen forged rims. Idk what other people are experiencing but that has been my experience. This is summer driving range not winter. I think thats incredible range for the duration of hi speed engagement.
The software is what it is. I never bought the car for the software. I bought the car to see what Porsche can do with an EV architecture. They killed it with this first model year run. Yes there are many little issues that can be and will be resolved i think in the next gen of this car. I hardly ever do the launch control where it gives the full power for a few seconds. Porsche needs to give you that hi power output in sports plus mode and let the driver dictate how he/she wants to use it. I want that full power on all the time in sports plus mode. I think this will be coming in the next generation taycan.
I picked this car up in May of 2021 and very few of these were out yet due to covid. I used the superchargers alot in the beginning of ownership. They worked flawlessly before the crowd came into Evs. There was a thread on here asking about battery health for longer term owners. I charge it always on level 2 due to the overcrowding of super chargers now.( unless i have to drive long distance) But at 100% in summer i still show 217 miles of range. Im sure somebody can figure out what their new TTS shows at 100% but thats what mine shows. I dont think thats bad at all battery degradation for the use that it has had to date.
The ac in this car blasts cold air and i love the function to keep it on when ur running errands in the dead of summer. Again i am impressed with the cooling that Porsche managed to do with cabin and battery pack. I can tell you when i pull into charge after running hard for hrs and in the hi heat, the fan is blowing loudly out the front right tire trying to cool that pack down
. But i have never had cooling issues where the car had to detune down due to heat in the pack. Trust me, i tried .
So if you are on the fence about buying one of these. Dont be! It is an amazing EV sports sedan and it drives like a Porsche.
