Eh one, maybe two above base model. The Taycan 2WD is coming this year and has less power; it should be just the Taycan S. It then should have a Taycan 4 which should sit just below the Taycan 4S. This is based off other Porsche model naming which have been consistent across their models.

Glad to hear that you notice and like it!
I drove a base Model X a few months ago and it totally changed my perception on electric cars. The placement of the batteries makes it handle really well for its weight, and you can do truly stupid speeds in short spurts and nobody knows. It’s so smooth and it makes so much sense. Made me a fan of electric cars for sure. If I don’t have a manual, the car might as well be electric because it just makes the experience smoother and less clunky! Great video!!
This is why Porsche is my favourite brand. They never fail to make an exciting car, even with EV's. And that's why I would definitely buy a Taycan if I could in the future.

Interestingly, I have had my 4S for about six months and get about 290 miles per charge. I did a 250 mile road trip down the mountain and back up and got 280. The brake feel on mine is as good as my 991 was. The demo I drove did have a little clunk in the gearbox, but this one does not.

Maintanance is indeed costs much-much lower, than an ICE but not only the battery can fail :) It still has suspension, bearings, the landing gear assembly, steering assembly, springs, break fluid, etc. These are still quite complicated things, but overall you are right. No oil and filter changes, no clutch, no valves, no timing belt and other belts, etc
When you mentioned the electric affordable sports car I instantly thought about the Miata too lol
Great review, thanks. The default limit for range mode is 70mph, but can be changed in the PCM up to 87mph / 140kph. I see 260mi range easily at freeway speeds. Also that’s a nice silk wrap.

Great job Ted!! Really love the Porsche brand. It’s very hard to beat the guys from Stuttgart. I think that both Porsche and Mercedes (AMG division) make the best vehicles on the planet. There are more expensive and more desirable cars out there but those guys know how to properly engineer a car.
Damn man! This thing looks sweet!
That is nice! Even sounds good!
This is probably the only EV I would ever want to drive
I love the sounds
I bought this. Really love it
I just saw one of these driving down the road the other day. Its a sharp looking vehicle for sure! Also worst rolling stop ever by that mustang at 5:19.
I used to be a weekend driver since I got my taycan I don’t remember a single day I haven’t been driving 😂 I just try to find a reason to go and drive! This is a cool car to have . The breaks , the sound, the design and everything about it is cool . I am city guy but if I was daily long distance travel then it will be a bit challenging but for me it works perfectly! You get so much compliments and attentions for a shy guy like me it is a bit too much.
OOF can't wait to watch this. Maybe a turbo S soon? :)
Bloody love these things. So good.
Great review! Yup you are correct, my 2018 Model X 75D at 90% charge yields 199 miles indicated. Once my 52 mile round trip drive to work is done I only have around 122 summer 112 winter miles remaining. That's in Virginia and at mixed interstate and country road speeds. On many range reviews the Taycan will give you the exact range is shows at start with maby a little in reserve but only 1-3 miles extra. I like that and also the driving experience you described so well. THANKS ALOT YOU &^%&^! Now my used Taycan 4S arrives tomorrow HAHAHAA. But really, nice review helped me make the decision to try a different direction other than Tesla. 👍

By far the BEST looking and BEST handling EV on the market today.
really liked the vid. finally someone that's driving the car and not spending 50% of the video blabbing about the styling of the infotainment. the one thing you got slightly wrong is when you said that people might not choose a Porsche/non tesla if they already have a tesla wall connector at home; its a common misconception that these at home tesla chargers work differently than a generic wall charger( j1772). Yes they do have some safety stuff like if the power goes out it wont immediately supply power to the car, it has some fancy Bluetooth stuff and lights, but it uses the same electrical supply and communication standard that Cisco and all the others use, just in a different physical connector shape. Both the tesla and j1772 are basically both just a low voltage control box that operates a house mains relay, that when the car signal says "hey supply me power" it powers the relay and the car is basically connected directly to house mains power. thus, if you have a tesla home wall connector ($500 ish) you don't need to replace it if you want to charge another car that has a j1772 connector. yes you will need an adapter. while they are less expensive than changing the full box, its still $100. although there are people that have videos on how to make them yourself but i wouldn't recommend making that your first electrical experience cuz doing it wrong could cause shorts, fires, damage to car bla bla bla

Never thought I'd say this but that fake engine noise sounds really cool. This would definitely help solve the lack of sound electrics have.
This car is absolutely gorgeous
How are the stability control nannies on an all wheel drive EV ? Does sport or sport+ give you torque vectoring without using brake pads ?
As someone who has a Manual Porsche Cayman 981 I'm not crazy about EV's however if I had to have one then it has to be the Taycan. Porsche have pulled off such an impressive feat of engineering with this car. Fantastic looking too.
Holy shit this car looks awesome. I don't even like four door sports cars but this is am exception.
My god how do I get into the position you are in... You are living my literal dream. I would drop everything in order to just be given these cars to drive around and making youtube videos. The only thing I want to keep is living in germany. I gotta admit, it's really frustrating seeing you drive a taycan and then staying below or near 75mph, these cars are made to sit comfortably at 150mph XD My cheap used economy 3 series is perfectly happy at 120mph, it wants to go that speed. Straight as an arrow, just flying across the autobahn.
Cool review - regarding the noise that you can select to be heard in the interior, it is my understanding that it is entirely based on the noise coming from the motors and is just amplified. In other words, it’s my understanding that it is not an artificial or made up noise. Regarding the comparative range between Tesla and Porsche EV ‘s, I have read numerous reviews which have shown repeatedly that the actual real world ranges are very similar, which is rather surprising considering how different the EPA figures or as you mentioned. It makes me wonder whether at some point if we’re going to have a Teslagate like VW’s infamous dieselgate come over this time regarding range cheating…

Certainly noticeable but it did not allow for very much slip. It’s possible there are more extreme levels that I didn’t explore. It did an incredible job letting me approach, exceed, and remain at the limits of grip. I only drove the car for 45 minutes. You’re watching my first corners in this car and I was very comfortable pushing it. Great chassis and systems
