I have a 2003 SL55, owned it for 7 years now, it’s only done 63000 kms, only 6000 by me unfortunately during my ownership as it’s only a fine weather weekender! Every time I drive it it’s exciting, as you said the sound is incredible and cannot be replicated in other cars. I just drove it in a Mercedes Benz Club Victoria run over two days over the Great Alpine Road here in Victoria, we did 888 kms and it didn’t miss a beat, we drove with the roof down in 3deg up the mountain, seat heaters on, and interior heater on, very very enjoyable couple of days…. Yes maintenance is required on an older tech laden vehicle, but it’s worth every cent! Get one if you can.

Autocar had an article on EV offers. Big discounts mainly on pcp, where they give a big contribution. APR rates are also lower than Porches. Porsche must think their buyers don’t read anything or are so desperate for an EV with Porsche badge! The sticker price of some pre owned Taycans are now looking g great value!

Still, if the rate were 5% or under, I would've financed a chunk of it. It all boils down to supply & demand, and Porsche hasn't felt enough pressure to adjust. No way I'd ever get an EV anytime soon unless I lived on an island with $8 per gallon gas.

@TheLDunn18 күн бұрын
Interesting, thank you. I agree with your observations too. I’m a product development engineer for a global car company, have been for over 3 decades. Society is in a tricky transitional phase I think when it comes to personal transportation….& I think we are on,y at the start of it still. We have a convergence of technology happening. Apps like Uber, that make hailing a cab easy, in vehicle comms for fleet management, EV’s & self driving technology. Those combined have the potential to rewrite the personal transportation landscape. Taking a cab today is relatively expensive per mile, because you are paying the driver’s salary, his insurance, fossil fuel (most of the time) etc. But when you can hail a self driving EV, suddenly, the cost per mile drops drastically. No drivers salary, the EV taxi could be stationed where it charges at a low cost via a battery bank charged by solar &/or low rate over night grid rates. When it’s statistically proven that self driving cars are safer than humans, insurance costs will drop. The fleet management software will be able to route the nearest EV robotaxi to you, know when they have to return to base to recharge, will be able to coordinate switching to another robotaxi mid journey on longer trips when your first robotaxi is running low on charge. This will all make taxis so much cheaper and more convenient, that many may opt not to bother with car ownership at all. It may seem hard to accept where we are now, but in a period of around a decade in the past, a similar transition was made from horses to cars, as mentioned in this video. The desirability of a vehicle is a good point. For many, cars are just a tool to get around. EV’s may be faster than ICE’s, but despite the performance, I’m not sure many find them as desirable as the traditional ICE sports cars….not in the same way at least - more desirable as a tool to get around rather than for the fun of driving. Final comment, I’ve made this point elsewhere, I’m n a pretty good salary but don’t count myself as ‘rich’, according to government stats, I’m in top 6% of earners (something I find hard to believe), we run an 18 year old Transit and a 16 year old diesel Fiesta in our household, I’m always amazed by how many people seem to be able to afford to run £100k+ cars, and lose thousands on them each year. Each to their own though, we all make our own choices where any disposable income goes. I love our Transit, it’s not used for business, only pleasure, and it’s created lots of memories for my family, camping out of it, as well as transporting sports equipment to sporting events, & aiding us endulge in other hobbies involving transporting of equipment and providing a mobile base / shelter.

The real point is there is no massive used car buyer appetite for EVs'. The battery will be less efficient after 3 years, and who could afford to replace it if it fails? Compare it to a petrol tank, how many people replace those in an ice car's lifetime? Some EV batteries are tens of thousands..It's just a tank right?, not ever lasting fuel, it still needs money to fill it up. Not everyone wants debt, finance, or leasing. Each to their own. I am not sure how cheaper EV Offshore import cars, made using fossil fuels are making the world a cleaner place. The real footprint should include all the energy to make and transport the things. Not very long ago you could buy new a very decent Porsche for 80k, now 180k is a good price? I think not, only if it's not actually yours. I am, believe it or not all for EV's, done honestly, with better battery technology and usability, they will be the future, but at the moment, it all feels like one big con, great only for Finance companies, and tbats why a used GT has such bad depreciation.

Another great vid TAB.....is the unpalatable truth EVs are disposal and the early adaptors are just caught as the first generation buyers.....?? i believe EVs will be purchased as mobile phone contracts in the future where the power company's will subsidise the cost of the car to sell the energy as the mobile phone company's sell data.
Thanks, that's an interesting idea, a bit more challenging to control though - with a mobile you're tied to a specific network. You're probably going to need to charge across multiple providers.
@@TABonTV my thinking is if you buy a TESLA you can only charge on a TESLA network, just like you can only make calls our take data from Vodaphone as an example.
@@kengormley4530 you can charge a Tesla anywhere you want.
Very skilled & hard working man to achieve these results.
Wheels look great. It’s funny how chunky the back of the steering wheel is but I think a lot of Mercs are like that.
Yeah, good job! And yes, the wheel does look a bit silly from that angle, a bit too cone like 😂 Thanks for all the comments
Looks great 👍🏼
I wouldn't touch McLarens with a 10ft pole. If I learned something in life it is to keep your distance to a company both being arrogant and having a, lets say, shaky product reliability. Because if something goes wrong with the expensive product that you just bought then the last thing you want to experience is the seller basically telling you to shut up and pay his repair bill or to GFY.
It’s got a GT badge, it’s not a GT car unless it has a flat 6.
The Cayenne Turbo GT quietly sits in the corner.
You got a shit color but it is a very beautiful car
First person I've heard to not like the colour. Fair though. World is full of different tastes. Do you have an avocado bathroom suite?
bro just stop overthinking it and enjoy it man - you're losing sleep over trivial shit
It's just a YT video - love the car. Very comfy. Get plenty of sleep whilst I'm driving down the road. (Don't do that).
Silly
Interesting video reload by Carwow on depreciation of EVs. They also compared with ICE versions where possible. EV was worse. Interesting which cars are the worst! Autocar had an article on EV offers. Big discounts mainly on pcp, where they give a big contribution. APR rates are also lower than Porches. Porsche must think their buyers don’t read anything or are so desperate for an EV with Porsche badge! The sticker price of some pre owned Taycans are now looking g great value! Still don’t want one though.
Yeah, fully agree on this. I think we'll get to a point where Porsche will be forced to do something to simulate new sales... It's a real possibility.
Is that a hair piece glued to your head? lol your Taycan will depreciate even faster than a used toupee. 🎉😂
No, not yet anyway. You might want to try the beauty channels instead. 💅🏻😂
"Drill baby drill!!!" Concur on EVs & high Porsche financing. No thanks!!! They're the ones missing out in my case because I waited until I could purchase a 911 outright ... which I know people do. Still, if the rate were 5% or under, I would've financed a chunk of it. It all boils down to supply & demand, and Porsche hasn't felt enough pressure to adjust. No way I'd ever get an EV anytime soon unless I lived on an island with $8 per gallon gas.
Yeah, a 911 is a relatively safe outright purchase. A Taycan really isn't right now either in full or on PCP.
Interesting, thank you. I agree with your observations too. I’m a product development engineer for a global car company, have been for over 3 decades. Society is in a tricky transitional phase I think when it comes to personal transportation….& I think we are on,y at the start of it still. We have a convergence of technology happening. Apps like Uber, that make hailing a cab easy, in vehicle comms for fleet management, EV’s & self driving technology. Those combined have the potential to rewrite the personal transportation landscape. Taking a cab today is relatively expensive per mile, because you are paying the driver’s salary, his insurance, fossil fuel (most of the time) etc. But when you can hail a self driving EV, suddenly, the cost per mile drops drastically. No drivers salary, the EV taxi could be stationed where it charges at a low cost via a battery bank charged by solar &/or low rate over night grid rates. When it’s statistically proven that self driving cars are safer than humans, insurance costs will drop. The fleet management software will be able to route the nearest EV robotaxi to you, know when they have to return to base to recharge, will be able to coordinate switching to another robotaxi mid journey on longer trips when your first robotaxi is running low on charge. This will all make taxis so much cheaper and more convenient, that many may opt not to bother with car ownership at all. It may seem hard to accept where we are now, but in a period of around a decade in the past, a similar transition was made from horses to cars, as mentioned in this video. The desirability of a vehicle is a good point. For many, cars are just a tool to get around. EV’s may be faster than ICE’s, but despite the performance, I’m not sure many find them as desirable as the traditional ICE sports cars….not in the same way at least - more desirable as a tool to get around rather than for the fun of driving. Final comment, I’ve made this point elsewhere, I’m n a pretty good salary but don’t count myself as ‘rich’, according to government stats, I’m in top 6% of earners (something I find hard to believe), we run an 18 year old Transit and a 16 year old diesel Fiesta in our household, I’m always amazed by how many people seem to be able to afford to run £100k+ cars, and lose thousands on them each year. Each to their own though, we all make our own choices where any disposable income goes. I love our Transit, it’s not used for business, only pleasure, and it’s created lots of memories for my family, camping out of it, as well as transporting sports equipment to sporting events, & aiding us endulge in other hobbies involving transporting of equipment and providing a mobile base / shelter.
Some great insight there. It really is going to be a generational shift. I read Gen Z have the lowest number of license holders in the 17-25 group in recent times. Back in my day pretty much everyone had a license. Those that didn't got funny looks 😆
Awesome video, thanks for your efforts and Ride Safe.
No mention of the spike in rectal, and colon cancers, for sitting on a mega EMF omitting battery, esp amongst vaccinated California leftist, revenge of the pain in the arse
A new Taycan is as zero desirable as a new Rolex ...
Toaster on wheels
Quite good toast though.
I agree this is a very disturbing time, it won’t matter soon about residuals as some tw.t will soon destroy all that goes as humanity 😵💫
Thanks for all the great Taycan videos. Did you find the anti-glare version dulls the resolution at all?
Thanks, only ever so slightly but it looks so good in the car it's worth it!
The real point is there is no massive used car buyer appetite for EVs'. The battery will be less efficient after 3 years, and who could afford to replace it if it fails? Compare it to a petrol tank, how many people replace those in an ice car's lifetime? Some EV batteries are tens of thousands..It's just a tank right?, not ever lasting fuel, it still needs money to fill it up. Not everyone wants debt, finance, or leasing. Each to their own. I am not sure how cheaper EV Offshore import cars, made using fossil fuels are making the world a cleaner place. The real footprint should include all the energy to make and transport the things. Not very long ago you could buy new a very decent Porsche for 80k, now 180k is a good price? I think not, only if it's not actually yours. I am, believe it or not all for EV's, done honestly, with better battery technology and usability, they will be the future, but at the moment, it all feels like one big con, great only for Finance companies, and tbats why a used GT has such bad depreciation.
