- 2016 Macan S; 2021 Taycan 4S; 2023 911 GTS Cab
I love my Taycan. I’m a big cheerleader. Even keep my pom poms in the trunk.
But the camera is for sure a weak point.
Sure, it’s functional to see whether or not something is directly behind you.
But the distortion really makes it disorienting.
Here’s one view. Look at how squished the houses are.
And here’s the other view. Houses looks better, but…um…my garage sure isn’t curved like that…
These are just still images, but looking at it in motion or trying to judge distances is really difficult.
And toggling views will make you dizzy. ??
Contrast this with my Macan. The far view is somewhat distorted, but not nearly as much as the Taycan. And I find the Macan less disorienting in general.
In fact, I’ve never had any issues or complaints about any cameras on any cars prior to the Taycan.
We have transit connects at work with no rear windows and tiny screens for the camera that I would argue are easier to back up than our Taycan.
I’m not returning the car or buying a Tesla, so save your text.
The camera is just a weak point. I can’t defend it. It is what it is.
