That battery charging explanation was on point! Great review

A friend of mine has a Taycon 4S. To say that it's impressive is a gross understatement. It might not be the strongest Taycon they make, but it's pretty darned good anyway!

Totally spot on in saying "you don't need more than 480 hp". In these day an age we expect to see huge numbers constantly or else it's "slow", but my daily is a sedan with 'only' 300 hp and truthfully I don't see a need for much more in city or highway traffic at all.

As much as I want the Taycan Turbo, realistically speaking, the 4S with the Performance Battery Plus is much more realistic. It can still do 0-60 in as little as 3.4 seconds.

Most Enthusiast dont have that much money to drop on a car of this price. Maybe in 10-15 years when we have more affordable enthusiasts level EVs . Electric will catch on a lot faster when you cater to the majority of enthusiast car buyers. But i get this stuff will trickle in the more affordable market far down the road… who knows though

What happened with Barn Find Hunter? No updates in 2 months. I hope Tom is okay?

oh look an EV that has gauges and numbers behind the steering wheel like a proper driver's car. But I guess Tesla wants to sell you the autonomous driving so you really won't drive anymore at some point. I can see there is a market for that. But for me, I still want to enjoy driving for years to come even on long road trips.

yup, thats exactly right about Tesla for sure. Wish they also made packages that were more driver centric, but I think as an enthusiast that also wants to go electric I'll be waiting for the Taycan-style EV tech to trickle down to something like a hot hatch.

They should make an electric 911 with the battery dangling over the rear axle.

In your opinion, does the Porsche brand/build quality/heritage justify the 130K price tag on this 4s over the Tesla Model S Plaid? I know the Plaid is ridiculous and is meant more as a statement, but it still is an option nonetheless.

What track is this? What a beautiful location.

In Tesla vehicles the brake pedal does not perform any regeneration. It is only connected to the brake rotors.

Im sure if you had sound and vibration thrown in you would have more fun. Oh wait thats an ICE. That said i still love this of any BEV. Id argue its the best right now. But im me not some influencer. ;)

Great review! Maybe consider cutting down on using the word “etc”

the blended braking is not ideal. Pedal can be quite inconsistent at times, especially on track.

Real drivers don’t want one-pedal driving where the car brakes for you, because you want full control.

Why do we continually keep asking this question for decades now. 928, 944, 914, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Panamera... If it's not a 911 the question has to be asked. Why? It's getting really old. You'd think that by now this question is pointless. If Porsche thinks it's a Porsche. Why do people keep asking if it is. In any case.. What even is a "real" Porsche? If the definition is 911 badging and an engine in the back. Then no. If a definition is Porsche deciding putting a new car on the road, and putting a badge on it. YES! Yes it is a real Porsche! Why don't people ask if the new C class is a real Mercedes or if any new Ferrari is a real Ferrari. It's a stupid question...

Not going to happen. With EVs already firmly anckered into the market, power being cheap and the infrastructure growing rapidly there's not going to be a switch. These industries always go for evolutionary change rather than actually revolutionary change, unless the latter simply blows the alternative out of the water. Synth fuel just doesn't do that for cars, and it certainly won't be cheaper.

Electrify America was seeded with $2BN from Volkswagen as part of their penance for Dieselgate. The question now is whether the widespread customer dissatisfaction with EA was due to VW not putting their heart into the project, which seems insane given their product roadmap even back then, or VW just screwing up the infrastructure side of the EV business with typical German auto company hubris. Perhaps this is a moot point with Tesla opening up Superchargers to other EVs but it bears watching the infrastructure side as we perhaps see Tesla pivot to a services company in addition to a product company longer term.

Taycan Turbo? If it's an EV, where does the turbo fit in? There is no turbo to be found. An additional motor? Yes. But no turbo. I love Porsche, but this is phony badging that harkens to a time of ICE. A major boneheaded move IMO.
