Thank you for watching! I think the 2020 model year should be avoided. The 2021 model year and newer have less issues. I expect the prices of used Taycans to keep dropping, but the decline in prices will rather be in line with the rest of the market, say a 10% linear drop per year from the new base per April 2024. The Taycans are unlikely to enjoy the usual Porsche price stability for a long time to come, in fact I do not think the Taycan in its current form and shape will become an attractive "old" used car as the 911 normally is. The Taycan should rather be seen as a normal everyday car similar to the Cayennes and Panameras.

I think the expectation that depreciation rates for all EVs (not just Porsches!) will fall into line with the broader ICE market over the next several years is probably optimistic, given how rapidly the technology is developing. I would not advise anyone to buy an EV if they expect to resell it and not take a hosing relative to what they'd get back on a comparably priced ICE car.

Looks amazing, especially with the black wheels ! Maybe the original MSRP was "market value", just like the model S plaid when introduced, but being EV's, it may not be a brand-thing, rather an EV-thing, where all EV's are (now) experiencing huge-depreciation

Thank you for watching. I had a quick look at the new pricing structure of the 2024 Taycan (facelift). After correcting for more equipment and the bigger battery the pricing is pretty much carryover. I assume that Porsche have kept prices high to support the used car prices of the pre-facelifted model and that they will produce less Taycans (let us say on average 30,000 units per annum). While it is always difficult to predict future residuals I would not be surprised if we'd see similar price drops for the new model, i.e. -50% after three years. Let us not forget that a new Tesla Model S costs just half of a new Porsche Taycan. I recommend you get a lease offer and see what residuals the leasing company have calculated for the new Taycan and look at the total cost over 36 months incl the up front payment.

Problem is the insurance cost

As you say, essential for 2nd hand buyers to be covered by an extended warranty. But what price a warranty for a 5 to 10 year old Taycan? Is it possible that today's 2nd hand car values could be further undermined when they are uneconomic for warranty cover?

@morten_hannesbo

4 ай бұрын

Thx for watching. At present Porsche offers optional warranty up to 15 years at approx 1600EUR per annum, but with KM restrictions on the battery. This may change based on Porsche's learnings over time. If Porsche is serious about selling Taycan and Macan EVs they need to significantly improve their EV warranty policy.

Worth mentioning that in Switzerland, for Luxury brands (Audi, Merc, BMW, have not looked into Porsche but I imagine the same) the list price is anywhere from 10k-30k Euros/Francs more than some other European countries (Germany for one). If you add options, those are more expensive as well. Quite easy to do, with the wealth in this country and also since most people lease, they only care about the monthlies. I can afford the monthly so I'll buy it, nevermind that the dealer is taking me for a ride and making a killing is a common approach, even more so here. When used, said cars usually fall very much to european level pricing, making it appear that they suffered heavier depreciation, when in fact the prices were inflated to begin with. Even more so with BEVs. Just because Porsche thinks it's worth 170k, doesn't mean it is. Is it better than an M8? Yeah, nah.

I love the Taycan and have always considered gettint one, but it has serious problems that they've done a good job keeping on the down low. Make sure you have a certified pre-owned warranty!

I’m a car enthusiast and like to fix things myself, so there is some level of practicality built in too. Sometimes I just look at cars like this that have multiple problems within the first few years of ownership and think, “wtf, who would spend this type of money on bad engineering?!” Don’t get me wrong. The car - when running, is a fantastic driving experience…but when my Honda hasn’t needed any service beyond the basics for more than a decade…I start to wonder if it’s all worth it.

Did you read out the battery degradation of your Taycan before you bought it? I've seen that the Porsche Centers don't provide any information on this either. Would it not be important to have information on this for an EV that you buy used? Would you buy from privat because cheaper and then book the warranty extension from Porsche or directly at the Porsche Center? Buying a used one from a Porsche Center would be the safest way to go I would think, but then at a rather higher purchase price.

I asked the Porsche Dealer for a read out of the battery and he said they cannot do it (what seems strange as I am sure they can). Porsche is very cautious on this subject because of the traction battery issues which I also mentioned in the video. As long as the car is under warranty it is less of an issue, but I know that there are specialists who can do a read out. In terms of buying from private sellers - I think this is fine, just have the VIN No checked before you buy and pay and do make sure that the car is still under warranty because then you can buy the extension from Porsche.

Are the recalls not free if the warranty is over? I thought recalls were free no matter the age

Yes, basically you are right, but only if the recall is not legally mandatory.

They can and they should. I own two other 911s and my dealer was very willing to confirm the details, knowing I will have the car serviced there.

Useful information. All electric cars have a "use by date" of about 10 years when the battery will need to be replaced. Low mileage electric cars can still have battery capacity loss due to aging of the battery which will happen. Ex Lease cars might have been rapid charged a lot so this might increase the chance of battery capacity loss. A battery report might tell you the battery loss is 5% which is 13 miles in the Taycan but might degrade by 10% in the next year dropping another 12 to 13 miles. Porsche state they will replace the battery after a 31% loss which is 75 mile loss of range (250 max range from 93kwh battery). With any electric car you need to think about replacing the battery or loosing money. I bought my Cupra Born brand new but expect to replace the battery after 8 years (8 year warranty) because the range will drop.

Is it s reliable car long term?

Thx for watching. I will make a video incl charge test in May - but for your info: Mixed driving in spring temp: 375 km. Highway driving spring: 340 km. Highway driving winter: 300 km. Driving max 100 km in range mode in spring temp: 410 km.

And that’s why people have been waited on the next gen refresh just out. So many fixes for such an expensive Car. Wouldn’t touch a first Gen.

Most problems with Gen 1 Taycan have been solved. Will see if Gen 2 is perfect.

That warranty is abysmal, that priced car should have a better warranty or you're just losing out on money if anything happens. Was seriously considering it until i saw that poor warranty numbers

I had a Polestar 2 for two weeks and would never go back to polestar again. Actually waiting for the new Taycan (2025) or a new facelift of the Model S.

buying a used car, perhaps out of warranty you absolutely need to consider the battery replacement cost. You have a Taycan great, what is your loan amount, now if your battery dies, how much is that? 30k? My Model S 100D is about 22k. How will you pay for that? Now you have a loan for a car and you have to pay for a new battery.

People still don't get it. ALL EVs will have resell issues, ALL. You can't fight the technical innovation that will always date high-technology products with Screens, computers & batteries.

Yes, sure, but maybe a surprise to you that there is little difference between the residual value of a new 2025 911 and a new 2025 Taycan. After 4 years Porsche Financial quotes a residual value of 38% for the 911 and 35% for a Taycan.

If you live in North America, do yourself a favour, don’t go near any electric Porsche vehicles. Until they come with NACS compatibility they are impossible to road trip without major delays.

I’d disagree, how often are people actually road tripping? If you need to road trip just rent a road trip car It’s a similar argument to people buying a pickup truck ‘just in case’ they need to tow, or people buying an SUV ‘just in case’ they need the extra space. At the end of the day just buy what you want and enjoy life
