Thank you, I very much value your thoughts. I'm honestly delighted with the I-pace and it's ironic that it's the first car I've bought where I figured I'd get rid of it if I really didn't like it....so my surprise it was quick, handles well and it a gem to drive.I own both an Ipace and a Taycan, and the Ipace drives as well as the taycan does.
regarding the battery, I don't know the source of your info but it isn't very good data. regarding regen in the taycan, it is minimal.
I won't say not to get the taycan but I will say that you're not getting all that different of a car with the taycan.
The thing is, we need another EV (want another EV) and I'm just not very fond of the bland interior of the Tesla and the Audi doesn't quite do it for me. I'm want something a bit unique and I'm blatantly combining 2 factors into this: you only live once and I can afford the price tag....may as well. I'm just a bit concerned that the storage capacity and more visceral experience may not make for a practical daily driver. In all honesty, if the new Ford Bronco came as an EV, I'd be all over that. I still own my Hummer H2 and I'm frankly not interested in another big/wide hard-to-park vehicle. Not finding much else on the market at this point. Ironic that the Taycan will cost me twice as much as the Jag but I suppose it's frankly pointless to try to rationalize a purchase of this sort. I guess these are good problems to have, as the saying goes. Best I get my butt into a Porsche dealer and see what this thing is all about. Could I get some feedback along the lines of how worth-it the Taycan is and how much it's a phenomenal vehicle...please.
