  • Porsche Taycan 4S EV - When Porsche revealed their first all electric car they claimed it would eclipse all others, a bold yet important claim for the proud, performance car maker.
    And the key stratagem they deployed to achieve their bold claim ?
    A searingly high 800 volt power supply and you may recall from school Voltage is equal to pressure which leads to more power using less current.
    Add to this Porsches unrivalled sports car know how and its equally impressive build quality and what we have here is special, what we have here is the Taycan.

      @@RogerBaileyOnCars Hi Roger, Did you actually buy the car? If so after this time how are you finding the range. I drove the demonstrator last week it is incredible. So quiet on a long run. Did 300 miles, one 15 minute charge on an Ionity charge station and off again. My car comes in about 3 weeks time. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts after a few months. Do you intend to do a follow up? Or was you car just a short term loan. Interesting to hear your thoughts. The one thing which I found amazing apart from the performance, handling and total silence was the ride quality is about as good as any car I have ever driven or been a passenger in including a Mercedes S class. Look forward to your thoughts.

    It is good times. Porshe is out with a fantastic driver's car (some argue it is the best Porshe ever). The sister-company has an EV hot hatch that arguably is the best Golf GTI ever made. Tesla is ready to drop the first production car doing 0-62 in less than 2 seconds (for a two-ton 5 seat sedan) a decade after they made a car. Think about that - ICE science has spent a century to make cars fast - now VW is trashing records with their test-mule just a few years after they hired some few computer and data and battery engineers.
    While Tesla is saying that EV's will reach price parity in 3 years - before one considers the cost of driving and ownership - and the charging infrastructure literally exploding (at least in continental Europe).
    As a fan of classic cars - what a dream coming through. People will have a fossil burner for that weekend drive or track day (in their handicap class since Porsche is showing us that EVs can deliver 500 kW all day long (remember when even BMWs could handle more than one launch a day only on days when the Moon and the Sun were aligned? When it would pretty much void the guarantee on an Italian car the day before something costing 10,000 Euro needed an instant fix?).
    Everyone loves the sound of a Jaguar F-type (unless your neighbour owns one and leaves for work at 6 am every morning). I have no fear for that sound-track going away. To watch and hear a horse galloping is also a beautiful expression of sound and force. My best friend has 3 horses. Luckily for them - and us, they are not treated as transport mules in our towns, shitting on our doorsteps.
    As an old school M3 fan (I am so old that I remember the 911 actively trying to kill any driver), the Tesla Model 3 chassis and set up is....bloody amazing.
    Now - to look at a Tesla is not exiting. But that does not worry me a second. Because these cars are skate-boards. The body-design can thus be anything. Designers can go bonkers on us without having to consider where all the exhaust piping and gear-boxes and drive-shafts and all the dozen radiators require space.
    As such - EVs are going to revitalize car-design. Sure - air resistance and aero are all about fluid dynamics. All cars grow up in a wind-tunnel/fluid dynamics model these days. But the freedom of leaving behind all the traditional plumbing is gonna take us into very interesting new design philosophies.
    When I-phone was dropped, I said: 8 hr practical battery life? I have a job looking at screens - and my Nokia could go for a week without the need to plugin. Seems I was OK with plugging in after all.
    Dear Rolls Royce. We know you have spent a century of making the internal combustion engine silent. I wonder what the average driving distance the chauffeur does behind the wheel taking his boss places in the Phantom. 200 km max, I would assume. Since above there, the VIP helicopter is probably better to use. And above that - the private jet is sure to make more sense.
    Point is - I understand it is a bit frustrating to have spent a century on making an engine silent. I introduce you to the electric motor. Rolls was never about horsepower, as they were just the means to get you the torque and linear delivery of said torque to make your 3-ton mansion move about. Go electric already as your customer silently wosh in the back-seat on the high-way and sit in congestion to the City to sign their next billion-pound contract. I am sure the chauffeur will make sure the machine is charged up and ready to go home during the 30-minute contract meeting. Hence - the typical Phantom should be AOK with a 50 kW battery if we are honest.
    If you love mechanics - buy a million pound Patek Phillip wristwatch. It runs by hand-winding it every 50 or so hours, and is a bigger mechanical marvel than any car needing to ignite hydrocarbon 1000 times per minute to work.

    Great video Mr. B. The Taycan's a stunning car. And you're so right about it being a stretched 911 and not a shrunken Panamera. However, until those EV cars come down in price and more electric re-volting points are put in, give me the keys for a 911 :-))...

    When auto manufacturers first leaked news they were working on 3-cars I ignored them. Laughed. THey've come a long way in 2021. With most car makers already having put out a few e-vehicles and working on putting out more. This IS the future. Just makes sense on many levels. Practicality and performance. And Porsche actually created a electronic SciFi humm that's alluring and not toy-like. And you can go silent...something no gas engine can do...we just got used to the sound of exhaust..even if subtle. How great would it be if we didn't have that LOUD exhaust constantly blaring behind us like screaming children. To have an off switch for that sound.
    The loud "race" exhaust sounds on supercars only sound good for 10 seconds in action movies. :) Gets old fast. :)

Superb do-it-all car🥇Looking forward to drive it in winter conditions and see IRL range in deep sub zero temps. On summer holiday, range isn’t an issue as the car needs fewer stops than me...

      @BTICronox - you just Proved my point, Porsche or even VW did NOT Design the cells , there were simply bought from LG Chem.
      Pouch cells are less Durrable over time and LESS stable as they can Puncture easily.
      Pouch cells Today are less Energy Dense than Advanced Cylindrical LION cells, and more Expensive to boot.
      TESLA has the MOST Efficient motor design approaching close to 98% Efficiency .
      its why their cars have way more Range than Anyone in the Industry .
      TESLA has the MOST Advanced Drive system. only LESS Advanced vehicles have Multi Gear selections for their BEV like the Taycan and the Black Zombie 222.
      nope, Wrong and Wrong.
      you cant rely on WLTP stats , you have to go with REAL WORLD Performance, which TESLA has Proven time & time Again.
      and you ONLY have to LOOK at the Taycan POOR sales compared to the TESLA overall.
      to see Porsche missed the Boat, that ship has Sailed.

    • @markplott4820

      @BTICronox - NOPE, still WRONG.
      TESLA makes its 21700 batteries under License in a Gigafactory that Tesla built for Panasonic, it make 1/3 of the WORLDS output in Batteries.
      and each Gigafactory in the WORLD has Battery Production on Site, even FREMONT is adding battery production with Project Roadrunner and Project Palladium in GF1.
      you ONLY have to overcharge or puncture a Pouch LION cell , to know its UNSTABLE.
      TESLA has pantented a FUSE system to Prevent thermal runway and a Advanced BMS to manage Battery temprature.
      Tesla is going away from OUTDATED batter modules with Direct cell to Pack.
      and to SUPERIOR , Nickel + Silicon batteries for its NEXT gen Vehicles.
      Porsche tires are crap.
      the Tesla 21" Performance tires are Superior and offer Very High RACING performance at a cost of Reduced Range, easily solved by swaping out tires with 19" Gemini which offers INCREASED RANGE and Decent Daily Road Driving.
      TESLA Dual Motor drivetrain Today outperforms the Porsche 2 speed transmission, and its upcoming PLAD Tri Motor and Project Palladium will OUTPERFORM any Production car.
      PLAD and Pallidum are coming to the Model S/X and NEW Tesla vehicles.

      @BTICronox - Herbert Diess, disagrees with you, he Fully Admits TESLA as having the Superior Technology, TODAY.
      he is trying to improve VW (Porsche) but, he KNOWS they Simply cannot compete.
      I think Porsche (VW) has Potential one day (20+ years) might to be Equal to Tesla in 2020 .
      Tesla has now 2 Gaga car factories and 2 more under Construction , Porsche only sells 250,000 vehicles per year, compared with Tesla Exceeding 400,000 Vehicles at FREMONT alone , and are Ramping up to 500,000 before end of 2020.
      and Tesla sells MORE Dual Motor and PERFORMANCE Variants than RWD Standard, so TESLA is Eliminating ALL Short Range vehicles from its Lineup, and 100% Producing ONLY Long Range Vehicles with over 300+ mile range MINIMUM.
      and TESLA is also making 100% of their Vehicles with 1000 mph Supercharging .
      and TESLA will be adding at last 3 more Gigafactory in the NEXT 4 years.

    Rodger Baily - the REALLY Sad thing about Porsche Taycan is its PIPIFUL Efficiency and Range,
    this happens when you dont Understand batteries, Electric motors and BEV Drivetrain.
    Tesla is now 100% comitted to only Producing LONG RANGE vehicles with over 300+ miles range , even on their RWD models, and comiittted to 100% of their Vehicles with 1000 mph DC FAST charging.
    Tesla just upped the ante. and is Eliminating all Short Range Variants.
    Furthermore, Porsche Taycan is using a OUTDATED gas car body (Porsche Panarama ) its Inefficient and Weighted Incorrectly.
