Will the second generation have the twin turbo set up? Any turbo lag or they must have the new gen constant on turbos! Do you notice range reduction because of the turbos?
just playing......
dude, the Porsche ceo himself stated that “no one will be talking about Tesla when the taycan is released”.
Porsche invested 6 billion dollars ( with a capital B) in this electrification endeavour! The Audi Etron 204 mile flop and now this 201 mile disclosure doesn’t give us investors a warm...
201 miles epa range on the turbo. Official! Discrepancy with Porsche’s independent tester! $185k plus for 201 miles range! Who’s in?

8-10 week delay and now no NA PEC! Something is up here folks! Two flags on the play so far! Still no EPA ratings but tons of cars for journos and marketing!
Damage control? ICE Porsche’s sell at high margins because they have an established market(eg 911). EV Porsches are a brand new market for them. Can’t use ICE market formula on EV market, IMHO. But this is what Porsche seems to be doing.
If value for $$$ is in your decision making, definitely lease, don’t buy!
My logic: treat these machines as pieces of tech ( a la iPhone, iPad...etc) rather than cars. These are not 918’s, Carrera gt’s, gt2 rs’s with similar price tags and greater. These are Porsche’s generation 1 of rapidly...
You say “included”. Therefore, base, s, 4/4S and the turbo were released/ revealed at launch for those vehicles?
I was one of the first to get a panamera(4) gen1. Don’t recall turbos released at same time!
Nice!
After my disappointment with the Taycan as a whole package, my C4S 991.2 is the best vehicle for me. 7spd manual does amazing fuel consumption on long trips and can open up the beast on the track......while spewing hydrocarbons off course;) I’ll prolly just order a VW ID3 to quell my EV...
Total speculation on my part (not having actuarial a done)......expect greater than %50 depreciation over 3-4 years with these gen1 models. I’ll get flamed for saying that, but it’s just my opinion!
