I think these are awesome. Id have one if i needed a car daily. I do think there may be more depreciation to come but the biggest hit is in the first few years. Troible is roads are so bad and busy that having a fast car is almost pointless, i figured this out over 20 years when i got my first faster carand all i was doing was following the same lorries etc at same speed with the odd overtake for fun but not really getting anywhere any faster lol.

Trust me, anything is possible for an overtake in this thing. If you have a spare 100m gap you can get out safe and back in.

You not touch the subject of warranty? Or ive missed it on the video. Im torn between this and a 718T as it's the same price bracelet.

Once the car is out of porsche warranty(3 years), it is up to the selling dealer to provide any warranty. I provide 12 months warranty and breakdown FOC with all cars. However, the main battery warranty from porsche is for 8 years from new.

2:38 - hoping e fuel will take off allowing engine noise and range to remain 🤞🏼

Let's hope so! The cost at the moment is the killer.

You can add the 93kwh battery to any model. Don't touch one without an extended warranty. Heater failure and cooling fans are known to fail. Rear lights crack and battery issues with water leaks. PCP is for the car seller and NOT the buyer. The PCP sounds good but you as the buyer like leasing a car are paying the depreciation. You will not want to buy the Taycan after 3 years when the car could be 6 years old. Rapid charging WILL degrade the battery and Porsche decreased the buffer in the battery to make it look better. You need deep pockets to buy one.

We have never had any issues with the above in any of the 7 Taycan we have had in stock 3 years old. In regards to the PCP why would you buy this NOT on PCP? You have someone at the end guaranteed to pay the balloon payment regardless of what the market value is. Why would you not want that security? Most customers won't constantly fast charge the car as 90% of E.V owners charge at home overnight on 7.2kWh charger.

@@colinspc Porsche altered the battery capacity ceiling because the range was crap and every EV will drop at least 5% capacity in the first 2 years because the battery chemistry settles down. The car will say 100% charged but the capacity is less. All batteries degrade with age as well as how you charge them. PCP is for main dealers benefit because they add interest which covers the additional depreciation you don't pay for on your monthly payment. PCP is just like leasing but more expensive. If you can't afford a car don't buy it. Most ev's drop 60% in 3 years so do the maths.

@RB-lt8kt I get your point, but I know battery's degrade. We carry out battery degregation reports for this very purpose on all used E.V. Do you realise that dealers are only credit brokers and not a lender? They only make a commision from setting up the agreement for the lender. Over 90% of the world finances their car so interest is always going to come into play. However, if you are using "cash" on a depreciating asset then I'd call that a questionable call. Also I never advised to buy new. The whole point in the video is to show the value in buying a used one once it's took its hit.

@@colinspc Yes but I think Taycan's have more depreciation to come especially as the new version is out. I got out of my EV because looking at a similar car 3 years old I would have lost thousands more. I bought in 2022 because it was the cheapest option. No one saw the ev depreciation coming. I would have kept my ev if it wasn't for the fact you have to keep using the main dealer for 8 years, battery degradation, value dropping by at least 60% in 3 years. Compared to a 2022 ice car which will drop 40%. Leasing is bad for the environment. I bought a 4 year old ice car that has a 2 year manufacturer warranty but I can scan and repair myself quite easily.

@RB-lt8kt I get it, that's why I said new E.V are really only worth it if you are buying through a company for tax purposes. The used Taycan will prob only drop another 20% of its new price in the next 3 years. It will start to level off when it gets into the 30,000 mark
