We have been trying to figure out a EV for my wife. We’ve driven just about every one in the segment (Etron, Mache, Ipace, Model Y and 3). We went yesterday to test drive an Audi E Tron. The dealership just happened to have a Porsche dealer in the same footprint.
My original plan was to get my wife a small EV crossover/sedan this year, and most likely get the Taycan for myself next year at this time when my lease runs out. I was planning on waiting to test drive the Taycan later in the year and then compare it to the Tesla Model S plaid or plaid + version and the Audi GT RS. Also have a deposit on the Rivian R1S. I have test driven 911s in the past, but have never owned a Porsche, but have owned numerous BMW M cars and a Viper ACR.
I was not planning on test drive the Taycan now, just because I had a feeling I would fall in love with it. I really would like to stick to my original plan with getting one after my current lease is up. My wife saw my face when I saw the Taycan sitting in the showroom. Between her and salesman (haha, surprisingly) they talked me into driving it...........
Well, last night I canceled my Rivian order and the salesman is seeing about a dealer buyout of my lease. I may still wait till next year, but I am pretty confident my next car will be the Taycan 4S, or maybe the Turbo. I have been seduced by the Porsche driving dynamics and the quality.
