Hi. Been a gearhead my whole life. 60’s Roadster,Pontiac Firebird, lots of BMWs; 2002tii, 327 Hardy & Beck, etc. Picked up my 4S last week and despite anticipated tech bumps, it’s the best car I’ve ever driven.

Why, if I may ask? Instant torque due to e-motor, or other things?

Hello everyone!

I have just got my new Taycan Turbo S a bit over 2 weeks ago, and it is my first EV.

I am really excited, but at the same time a tad anxious on operating it in the EU from the charging perspective, so I will be bothering you all for advice! Many thanks in advance!

Congrats!!

Number one advice to charging.. have patience. Don't expect quick stops at chargers, always plan on 30 minutes to an hour. Bring a book or plan a stop where you can go get lunch or do some shopping after getting it started. The car -will- charge, you'll just have a much better experience if you plan on it taking longer than advertised.

Hi - been stalking the forum for the past couple of weeks whilst flirting with the idea of a Taycan :)

I test drove a spec'd-up 4S this week and was absolutely sold on the car (less for the post-lockdown COVID dealership experience!)... and several specs later i've now got a deposit down on a Turbo S with build date hopefully end of Oct!

Can't wait - and thanks to everyone for the advise i've already read and followed on here.

Learnt quite a lot already from the forum so thought I would sign up and say Hi!

In the process of building a 4S. This is a lot harder than I thought and without the information available here I am sure I would have made some bad decisions.

Thank you.

Finally got it.

UK Turbo S.

Previously had a Tesla P100d.

This feels completely different.

Had some initial problems with the dealers lack of knowledge (e.g supplied with the wrong charging cable and I have to wait 5 days for the correct one) and Porsche's servers being down but all working now.

Drives beautifully, great fun.

Also CarPlay works seamlessly (if you like that) and you still have all the options on the dash and the lower (aircon) control panel.
