Looked at the Lucid, but began to wonder if it will ever be built, and passed on the MS as it's too stale in design and heard too much about lousy build quality, plus I hate elon.

D. Wanted Taycan when announced but turbo was not feasible at price point at launch. RWD announced and quickly sold 2020 Tesla and ordered one. Never looking back.....

E. What @whitex said, but in my case a 4S. I really wanted something more M3-sized (or ideally, Boxster-sized) but after the Taycan test drive I was ready to hand over my Tesla credit-keys.?

E. I have been "EV-curious" for a while now, and I am a big Porsche fan, so I thought I would give it a try. When the CT was announced, the Taycan became a viable replacement for our Macan (although we still have the Macan).

A. Looking for our first electric car, mainly because of current restriction to ICE’s in Madrid downtown and the incentives to BEV’s, namely free and (time) unlimited street parking, 75% off annual road taxes when compared to similar HP ICE’s and access to all areas. The 7,000€ BEV bonus for buyers only apply to vehicles under 45,000€ before taxes, so no joy here.

I eased into EV life, my current DD is a Cadillac CT6 plug in hybrid which has been awesome, quiet fast, comfortable and I've averaged 70MPG over 50K miles. That car has sold me on Electric Power and Plug in Hybrids.

I went to the dealership to drive a Panamera Hybrid, liked it but was curious about the Taycan (love the way it looks). One test drive later and I was hooked--it felt like the future we were promised when we (guys in our forties and fifties) were kids.

A. Wanted a car to replace my excellent Jaguar I Pace which was coming up to 3 years. Normally change every 3 years & found the Taycan at perfect time & in my opinion at a great discount.

2021 Taycan 4S

I put my McLaren up for sale and wanted a new car before the new car luxury tax starts in Canada in January (10% of total cost paid to the Government on delivery whether bought or leased!). I was looking at ordering a 911 GTS but could not get one until next year. My salesperson said he could get me a Taycan 4S now, so I took a demo for a test drive, hooned it haha, and thought it was great. Two weeks later had myself a Taycan 4S and no regrets.
