0-60 in the low 4s if you don't use launch control. Without launch control the throttle response is a little sluggish in the first few fractions of the seconds then it takes off.

For reference I used to have a Macan S that every magazine has measured ~4.5sec but in real live I never saw anything below 5.0 even with launch control.

Porsche's official times are not conservative, they are the real numbers.
Having owned several different models over the last 5-6 years I've watched and read an awful lot of reviews with very consistent conclusions on Porsche's conservative numbers. Motor Trend, Car and Driver, "Motoman," are a few that consistently report that. My previous 911 was a 991.2 Turbo S, and Porsche's number for that was 2.9 seconds and every review I saw/read was at 2.6 with one video repeatedly doing 2.5. Amongst those who follow these numbers, the often quoted line regarding this is "underpromise and overdeliver." But believe what you want.

In general you will get .3 to .4 better than the published 0-60 times with the Taycan, at higher SOC.

Just had the 4S for the day with PB+. It was a lovely experience. The handled great and drove well, other than having a transmission failure alert which came and then seemed to go away, the car was great. I drove about 80 miles and can safely say that it’s predictions were accurate if not beaten in terms of range.
It seemed rapid too, not as quick as my Model S P100D but still fun.
Looking forward to getting mine hopefully by the end of this year!!

I was just at NE Dragway in NH, about 80 degrees ambient and a sticky track. My 4 runs were incredibly consistent (not my reaction times but the speed of the car) with a best 1/4 of 11.572 @122.76. I always used launch control and tried 2 runs with PSM off and it didn’t seem to matter. Tires were 38/35psi F/R
