Porsche Taycan Turbo Rapid Charge Road Trip | Fully Charged
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Jonny has already experienced the Porsche Taycan launch control ability (0-62 in 2.8 for the Turbo S using over-boost function) in a previous world exclusive Fully Charged episode, but this film is the first road drive of the finished car. A chance to experience the 270kW rapid charging capability, we drove the 2020 Taycan Turbo (not really a turbo, but more a performance level name - 0-62mph in 3.2) from Gothenburg Sweden to Copenhagen Denmark as part of the international launch of the model. Porsche held an 18-day road trip launch event where 18 cars were driven in stints 6,440km across 9 different countries.
The 280-mile/450km range, 800v, 100kWh (93.4 of which is useable), up to 680PS (500kW) 850nm twin motor rear-steer Turbo price starts at £115,000, but there will be cheaper versions of Porsche’s first EV coming within the next six months. In stock form both Taycan Turbo and the £138,000 Turbo S feature 625PS (460kw) of power, but it is in over-boost mode for those infamous relentless launch control drag races where the power differences are unlocked. Turbo S gets 761PS (560kW) compared to the 680PS (500kW) Turbo.
It may not have the range of a Tesla Model S P100D (the so-called Plaid does not yet exist as a production vehicle), or the 0-60 on paper, or the seating capacity (Taycan is a 4 seat or optional 5) but the Porsche chassis promises better road holding and stopping performance. The Taycan can also charge up to 270kw, which translates to 5-80 percent charge in 22 minutes. Or 62 miles (100km) of driving in 5 mins. And then there’s the build quality that a legacy car manufacturer brings to the table.

Good to know you could fit at least one body in the boot - that's the sort of consumer advise we need ;-)
"One 'case in the boot"!

Where you take the body, you will not find a charging plug, better still use the Panamera or the S-Class

@@robydee920 Porsche is also a female name
@@michalklucz6907 can't really say that
I wouldn't say "easily". Looks are subjective. I'm not sure I care for the front end of this car. The rear is attractive though, as is the interior. But I'm still a fan of the Model S looks. Looking forward to a proper comparo.
porsche and car in spanish sounds male for me
Inksharkman never gets enough credit for his breathtaking photography.
💯 True
Agreed
....Who?
;P
Definitely.
Humble artist.
Beautiful images! 👏😊
I say this all the time; I just love Jonny Smith's car reviews. I am always supremely entertained (in a low-key sort of way) AND informed.
His chillness is entertaining!
Totally agree
Yep totally agree, shame he's left.

True, but search for CarPervert on UA-cam. Mr. Smith still doing his thing.
Your team is on fire right now. So many videos. Pretty much daily content AND it's still top quality!

I put 4 pairs of hiking shoes and beach flip-flops when we went on this years summer holiday road trip of Norway. And 4 airline cabin strollers and an XL sizedNorth Face bag and 4 all weather coats in the boot👌🏻 Perfect long trip car with ~400miles of range if needed to (4S+).
Taycan is the best EV in the world right now.
I've almost fallen in love with the sound this electric beast makes during acceleration.
Sounds a bit like the light cycle from Tron Legacy, I approve.
The thing that intrigues me is that they are all using some variation of the sound you get with an electric train motor. This makes sense as it is a sound most people will have heard and would associate with electric traction. The new electric London Black Cab makes a sort of whirring noise a bit like the sound straight cut gears make as in old gearboxes. I remember back in the 70s, Lucas were experimenting with electric drive and had a couple of single deck London buses. At one point they were trying out various sounds and one was horses hooves! It cause more trouble because people didn't look for a bus but for a horse wagon!

@@Shontaku Um, no. I'm not joking. Have you seen the other videos that Jonny made for Fully Charged? He can be quirky and funny as heck.
As a Tesla fanboy, i'm really impressed with what they've achieved with the Taycan. I'm picking up my Model 3 performance on Sunday and i'm sure i will fall in love with it. But it in no way compares to the Taycan. This car is in a different league in many, many ways. I hope the Taycan sells like hotcakes and the rest of the industry pick up the pace on moving to electric.
The taycan won’t sell like hotcakes like tesla
@@alanmay7929 I don't think they need to shift the same volumes as Tesla to be considered successful. It's a luxury car.
Have a model 3 Long range, dual motor EA, FSD (everything except performance package) for a year in Montreal. Wouldn't use any other car than Tesla. One slight issue, the suspension is stiff. Actual problem without interior parking, unfreezing the car and particularly windows to get in is absolutely terrible (more than 50 mins preheating at -20C). Music, theater with V10 with over the air upgrades are amazing ! No other car manufacturer provides updates on a 2 weeks basis.
Well the Taycan is 4 or almost 5 times the prize of a Model 3. It is common sense that it is a lot higher quality and performance. Both are great for what they do! ;)
Alan May it doesn’t need too it is a 200,000 dollor car model 35,000 to 60,000
That green paint is sick
The blue too! So much better than white
It looks like sick.
Yeah I love it in green!
@@danielhermanus6909 see, that's why they make different colours... I like the white and the green, but the blue does nothing for me. Wish it was beast-of-the-green-hell satin green, but still, i like the green.
Sickening yes
The looks, the badge, the heritage, the fast charging... man, the Taycan is already so much more appealing than the Model S. If I were rich I would get one day 1
Buying a car for a badge???
@@dmomcilovic9185 For quality.
@@Secretlyanothername Nope, it's the badge (and PERCEIVED quality). We all know that those Porsche motors and complete powertrain are NOT tested for 1 million miles. We are pretty sure the batteries are NOT tested for even 300,000 miles. We know the Teslas are. Therefore, it is not about the quality that counts.
It charges slower than a model 3 though, but it looks awesome!
@@TheSteinbitt Nope. 270>200.
Again someone spreading the Tesla fear, confusion, and doubt about any other electric vehicle.
loving the sound. Especially when pulling to a stop. What an incredible machine. Can't wait to see one on the road!
Can't wait to never be able to afford one.
@@JohnnyZenith in fact, i couldnt even afford the mp3 file...
Thats an option. I shit you not. $300 extra.
@@supaahflyy worth it though, my Zoe sounds like a camp ghost...
Nobody seems to talk about what's actually important, The Plopp
My Plopp recharges to 80% in less than 30 seconds.
9:32 and the girth of the cable.. 🤤😏
Plopp is awesome
Great video. As a Tesla fan I can say this was well done and props to Jonny in presenting it in a fair and honest way. Porsche has made a fantastic car. I'll never afford one but those that can will get an excellent car. As Jonny said, that badge is important. Porsche have done their badge respect.
It’s not much more expensive than a Model S so I think they have a winner here!
@Mike Lanphear
Much respect Mike.
Which all Tesla fans were like you.
Both brands should be able to peacefully exist.
im also somewhat a tesla fan, and i have to agree with that ansesmest, and im actually also a porche fan :) i just wish they would have thrown bigger batteries in, since the porche is already pretty expensive (2 x the price of a tesla s in my country).
@@chrisjon
True. But let's see the real world driving, and/or will Porsche release more of the battery in the future?...Plus, the 4S, and single motor Taycan's should creep up into or surpass 300+ mile range.
@MSL525 they wont release anymore of the battery, i believe like any other decent electric car, they keep a certain % capacity in reserve, so they can guarantee a certain KWH through its lifetime.
But atleast i love that porche as in my opinion is now the "second" car company to release a compelling electric vehicle even though its very expensive.
By the time it takes you to watch this, you would have *Fully Charged* your Porsche Taycan.
@SysPowerTools Sorry to burst your bubble, but Rivian uses CCS, the standard that everyone outside of Tesla is settling on. People don't go with Tesla for two reasons. Tesla, wants to charge other manufacturers for access. Why would they subsidize Tesla's network when they could use the open standard. Which leads to the second reason. Proprietary interfaces almost always lose to open source ones. Anyone can build a CCS network and dozens of companies are.
SysPowerTools I think youre still in 2010
@@vncnt1518 Tesla fans generally are. They believe this fallacy that every other EV has to start where Tesla was 10 years ago.
@SysPowerTools Ionity are currently rolling out 350kw charges accross Europe, including in the UK. They're going to be everywhere pretty soon.
@SysPowerTools Because Porsche is part of Volkswagen Group,they so big they will build their own network in no time,using the open standard.
VW Group has pumped over 25 billion Euros,that´s billion with a "B" in their EV programs,they will put Elon Musk out of business in the next years.
"That is the first time that a voice control has ever informed me of some decent information" - more of the sort of consumer advice we need ;-)
This is the Porsche Taycan review i've been waiting for !
Yes. I do think this one was quite better than most for a multiplicity of reasons.
Massive Tesla Fanboy....That Porsche is a proper high end EV. Welcome to the family!
I work at Tesla and I'm excited for this car! Finally some proper competition, even if not in every way.
Agreed! A Tesla fan here and I must say it's a very fine Porsche EV.
Coach’s Corner yup love my MX but hats of to Porsche for this, great EV and good to hear more variations are coming.
Nearly 100k more expensive to match a Tesla. Sooo maybe a distant cousin that lives on a yacht.
@@ernestbethel2035 More expensive for a reason...
Fully charged just one word! “Classy” you guys are killing it!
Love the extended programs guys. Thanks for a great video once again. 👍🏼
you talk and explain so calm without being boring. I think you got the spark everyone wished his maths and science teacher to have. First video i've seen on this channel and i really enjoy watching this :)
Finally! A car that does the electronic dashboard right. This is so perfect! No stuck-on iPad look for Porsche.
honestly seems over done are 5 screens really necessary. Feels more cringey than luxury. but yes the model 3's screens seems to stick out a bit to much, it was probably to cut costs though consider the model 3 is a quarter the price of this car.
This is (again!) a top-quality production! I wonder when Prime or Netflix pick this up!
Boot / trunk is big enough to carry a body and all the other useful stuff (bone saws, organ bags etc.). Useful.
If Fred West was still with us I feel sure he would be giving this car serious consideration.
Andrew Kirk I thought it could be popular in some Middle Eastern countries for dealing with journalists who give bad reviews...
Duct tape! Don't forget the duct tape!
Finally an electric car that ticks all the box's , looks , performance , qaulity , dealer network , proper dash layout .
Now's the time to go out and buy that sticker for my Zoe. 'My other car's a Porsche' :)
And then when you've got the Porsche you can do the more important sticker: my other car is a Zoe ;)
Considering to buy one I want to ask you about your experience with your Zoe. How do you use it?
My other car is a Tincan
@@marcnobel3938 I'm retired, but, I use it almost daily. It has all the range I need. We've done 17,500 miles in 18 months (need to cut back a bit to get under the PCP miles). We've done several long journeys. Some over 150 miles without stopping to charge, but that's when I'm sure of a charge at the end. I can carry 2 sets of golf clubs and a playing partner quite comfortably.
@@manwithcorsae7738 Thank you! Always good to hear some real world experience. Do you charge at home or mainly at Superchargers?
At last - a car that is actually beautiful to look at, I hope it catches on - I'm sick of the "angry" look in all modern vehicles these days! Great video and report, Jonny! Amazing machine, it's just energy storage that's getting in the way at the moment, but it's coming on leaps and bounds i'm sure.
It looks like a frog, i don't think it's attractive at the front
What an incredible first sports EV from Porsche. I’ve never wanted a 911, but I want a Taycan Turbo. With the “Turbo” badge removed obviously. Great film guys, lovely photography.
Why remove the Turbo? It's the name, not what it has. It doesn't "have" a Taycan either.
Because, just like Johnny and Robert, I think Porsche are being silly by using the word “Turbo” on a car that not only doesn’t have a Turbo but doesn’t even have an ICE. They’re citing “brand continuity”, “brand recognition” or some such tosh. But it’s silly and I’d remove it. End of.
@@DiscoFang Yes...and for many people, I think the term "turbo" also stands for "strength/power/energy" ...something like that.
Gareth Desborough End of? Does the S model have an S inside?
Jesus Christ. No wonder you hide behind a troll profile you pointless creature.
"I'm 6'3'', I don't know what that is in new money." 🤣
Undoubted nice electric car from Porsche. We need more and more of them.
This is a very impressive car. Well done Porsche.
So slick, the presenting, the editing, the camera work, like the car. Just hope there is a turismo version one day!
The Taycan Cross Turismo is already in the works, release planned for next year.
Will S There will be. This time next year.
Well, the subject is surprisingly often out of focus (unintentionally). That's a little sloppy - or lack of skill. On the other hand, the camera angles and cutting are mostly very nice. On average photography is in the plus side in my eyes, and seems to be getting better by every video.
The Porsche platform and tech will come as a grand tourer in the Audi E-Tron GT.
Taycan is stunning , so many details that you pick up on the more you observe in typical Porsche fashion. And the official press videos with that enhanced sport motor sound is pretty cool .
This, Johnny, is not fair! I was eating at the Burger King right beside the ionity charging station. Drove by and got excited because there was a Taycan there! If I am not mistaken, there were two. I was going to stop and just take a quick look at it. Appearantly you were there as well! So unfair! Such a fan, THE main reason I follow the channel. The way you review, bliss. Had my chance to meet one of my favorite presenters ever, if I would only have checked the Taycan out! F*ck! Unfair! Fun to watch though, informative as always!
The big T aside, Porsche has now raised the bar for legacy manufacturers like Mercedes and BMW, as well as start-ups like like Faraday Future and Lucid. Although the latter two aren't _really_ a threat to anyone. If I had the coin, I'd have a Taycan in a heartbeat!
Have you ever felt the 2 speed "shift"?
At FCL2018 an engineer connected with VW group explained to me that the gear change wouldn't need a mechanical "syncromesh" because the motor can be so finely and precisely controlled, ie it would align itself. Clever, it would be well worth having it explained in detail though.
@@MarkGarnettUK Sounds like something any "stepper motor" can do. If you know where the gear is and you know where the motor is, just equalize them electronically and then press them together.
@@JasonCarmichael An electric car motor won't be a stepper motor. Of course they will have an encoder or a speed sensor like any axle on a car that has ABS / ESC. Probably all it takes.
they said it is on the longer gear every time, even when stopped, except when you turn the launch control on, so it would be difficult to feel, probably it changes back to high only when you release the gas to get the required mileage
@@JasonCarmichael exactly, but I'd like to see a stop-motoion video of this working (will be changing gear at high revs and under heavy load)
Porshe, if you're reading this, I suggest you make raised ridges and dots on your touch screens so people can use muscle memory to find their buttons without taking their eyes off the road. That will probably further help differentiate your product vs others and be a major help in reducing accidents. Right now, I still see many people not liking those touch screen buttons, no matter how futuristic they feel. Just coz it's an electric car, doesn't mean you have to cover it with screens to make it competitive. It makes you look insecure, but props to you for making the car look take a traditional cal overall, and a very good looking one at that.
24:00 - following that Volvo and passing those houses you know where you are! 🇸🇪
THANKYOU for not talking in that cheesy choppy flow that a lot of presenters do. I can't stand it.
Bravo Porsche. Really like this and the green colour was amazing. Great review as always carpervert, I’m an impressedTesla owner. I’d have one if it was with in my price range👍🏼 And Before we get the ‘EV for the rich’ comments could you have financially bought a Porsche before? No...well then the EV for the rich is a pointless statement, it’s a Porsche, Porsche are supposed to be expensive.
Neil Leete wise words!
Quite. And a Porsche 911 Carerra S costs 4-5 times as much as a Civic Type R. They both do about the same track times - but they're not cross-shopped by anyone. There are a lot of silly comments below this video. As for me, I'd rather have an XC40 EV
The Porsche's sister car the E-Tron GT will be coming in a years time and that will be cheaper. Not dirt cheap but closer to Tesla pricing.
Wise...sure a taycan is expensive...it is a porsche..performances are not the only reason for prices, just look at a Nissan Gtr prices and a Ferrari ones
So nice that you test the car the way it should be instead of doing senseless acceleration runs. For me it's all about comfort, relaxation and range.
Welcome Porsche to the electric revolution! I was lucky enough to sit in one of only 2 in the US during Drive Electric Week. Sadly, I didn't even think to take a selfie or get my spouse to take a picture.while I was in the car (I did get outside photos though). Beautiful car and show winner in my book (however, my Model 3 is still my thrill)
You did make me jealous though! Can't wait to see one in the flesh!
I've never wanted a car so much!
I love the graphics, the shots, the information. Amazing content
1:17 Battery spec wrong here. Porsche says total battery capacity 93.4 kWh (336 MJ) and I believe 83.7 kWh (301 MJ) usable capacity.
2:35 Nope, the the rear motor has a clutch to decouple the motor, so eco mode will be running only on the front motor. For Porsche 175 kW motor is consider eco driving. ;-)
Must get my Euro Millions lotto ticket before 7.30 tonight!
I recently bought my first lottery ticket in many years after visiting a Porsche store and sit in a Taycan.
Huge upset, I did not win.
If ypou won the lottery why not drive a real Porsche Turbo? No need to worry about range anxiety
I'm sorry but that digital driver's display is gorgeous. It's absolutely lovely and the best looking driver's display by a long way
The blue color is called "Thomas Blue" 😉
Great review, keep it up guys!
Fully watched. Fully satisfied.
This machine is amazing. Congratulations Porsche!
As a die hard petrol head I'm very impressed with this. If this is what the future of cars will be, then me and fellow petrol heads have nothing to worry about.
2:12 Jonny sensibly moves his sunglasses to his leg this time to minimise launch effects.
This is what we need to see. Real journeys, time to find all the faults and all the pro's. A real treat to behold. While I'm still in favour of a Tesla, the Porsche Taycan really is a compelling car if you've got the lolly and in need of a sports car. Sadly I think you'll only get the benefit on the German Autobahn as you'll be lucky to break the 40mph speed on the UK motorways. For UK you need self drive so you can sleep during the boring bumper to bumper journey, and a bioweapons grade hepper filter to clean the air while your in ICE hell.
I don't think self-drive means what you think it means. People have died relying too much on that Tech.
If you're crawling along the motorway at 10mph, self drive is all you need, but I know what you mean. Full autonomous self drive is what I would actually like to see but only Tesla has that hardware but legislation would have to change before we can use it.
I like the green one
Imo 🟦>🟩>⬜. Haven't seen red yet though.
Brilliant report. But as I live in southern Sweden I found it utterly confusing how you mixed in Porsche promo driving shots. I was really thinking where the heck do we have those mountains here ...
Wery confusing. Half the time was Norway and Germany.
My heart always skips a little beat everytime FC ploops up in my subs...
10.15 'It's not Fully Charged'... Yes it is.
The excellent German satirical news show Extra3, had an excellent description of the Porsche Taycan:
"Weight when empty: 2.3 _TONS._ Put a tube on the front of it, and it would qualify as a Leopard 2" (...which is the main battle *_tank_* of the German army)
Wow! Forget about the car. He charged at a circle K ! Here in the Southwest of the USA, we have thousands of circle K's. Many are being remodeled with seating areas and bathrooms. Outside in most new circle K's Their would be room for a charging station. Right now they just have extra parking.
We can hope. Ionity chargers are funded by a consortium of European auto makers. They are only installing these charging stations in Europe, no plans for the US. Electrify America chargers in the US and Canada are funded by VW as part of the settlement of the "Dieselgate" scandal and the lawsuits VW faced. We need US manufacturers to fund a similar effort here but unfortunately things are moving the other way.
With the current administration rolling back future CAFE standards for fuel economy and now working to end the ability of California and other states to set emissions and mileage standards American manufacturers have reduced financial incentive to even make electric cars at all. We have seen a cancellation of Volt and Malibu hybrid with no new EVs officially announced since the promise of a number of new EVs some years ago. Ford has a stale electric compliance car. Both Ford and GM have announced plans for electric pickups and Ford has been talking about a sporty electric SUV so there is some movement, but nothing like the sales that and variety of cars coming to market in Europe. The cute new electric VW and Honda won't even be available in this country. Smart's EV and the Fiat 500e are going away.
I know it can be uncomfortable to talk politics here but it is really important that we make our voices heard on this subject. Politicians of all parties need to be made aware that it is in their best interest to support the development of EV charging in this country, if for no other reason than that slow EV sales in the US will lead to US manufacturers continuing to fall further behind foreign manufacturers in the global market.
@@Miata822 I would agree with many of the points you stated. I am just happy there is room for charging in the new design of stores that I have been seeing, We can only hope the market drives Circle K into making a deal or installing chargers themselves.
what a beautiful product....
The "Turbo" badge is a stupid idea. I saw that and thought, despite everything I had read, that this MUST be a hybrid.
This car is awesome. I would rather have the Porsche over a Tesla any day. Making me feel very positive about the future of electric cars. I am tempted to get a Leaf as a runaround at the min. Just to dip my toe in. My commute is 30 miles a day and most errands are local. Then have a performance saloon/ estate for weekends and longer journeys.
1st world problems ..
I would too if they gave it to me, but not if I had to buy it, I’d take the model 3:)
17:23 I think the battery pack has holes for the rear footwells, and that's why the back seats have good thigh support for such a low roofline vehicle. Nice touch.
Porsche calls it foot garages.
I saw a green Taycan Turbo S here in Denmark some days ago, I guess it was one of the press cars ?. First thought before I realised what was in front of me was “what Porsche 911 is this ?” 🙂 It’s so good looking 👍🤗 I would love to try one out 🙂
This car charges faster than my phone ..
Beautiful car. This is exactly what should be happening. Side note Jonny, maybe split long videos like this in to two. maybe 2 15 minute ones instead of one long one....
The video quality is amazing!
So the Porsche Taycan can accommodate six people⁉️ That is really impressive‼️😁😁😁
Scary at times as you are not watching the traffic while describing the car :)
the car is keeping you at safe distance, right?
21.6kWh/100km in my country (NZ) is the rough equivalent in $ cost to achieving 2.3L/100km in a petrol car.
But, that's ignoring road tax that is included in the fuel price here. If you include an allowance for road tax (RUC we call it at $70/1000km) then the equivalent petrol $ cost is 5.4L/100km.
I love how a comfortable, practical 4-door electric sports car now humbles the performance of most ICE supercars that cost 10x as much :)
How does it?
Best Taycan video out there.
Honestly, I am Liking this car...even though I can't afford them now.
It's a good sign of things to come from the Volkswagen group of companies.
Same here. Out of my price range, like every Porsche, but an utterly gorgeous vehicle and very well done on all levels.
@@Miata822 Yeah, the ID.3 looks promising, but my god I'd love a Taycan
@@johnsmith12421 I will definitely wait for the rear drive only version (around $75K USD) to replace my Model S
Big Tesla and Porsche fan here. Love this car. That being said for all the people hating on Tesla and saying how Porsche’ is so much better, please remember there would be no Taycan if not for Tesla... Second, everyone keeps comparing the price of the highest end Tesla which is $115,000 to the BASE Taycan turbo s which is $185,000 (in US. I don’t know pricing for Europe). We all know with any modest upgrade it’s gonna push well north of $200,000. With that kind of money I would buy the top of the line Tesla Model S as an everyday driver and a Cayman GTS for fun on weekends.
9:33 "look at the girth on that" That's what she said!
The best review ever. Unbelievable shooting for car exterior detail and many difference colors.
that green tycan looks beautiful
The quality of what you guys put out is top notch. Really great work all around...thanks for being awesome.
Always love full charge you guys came a long way! Nice watch by the way!
I love the Jetsons noise in the i-Pace and the Taycan one is fun too.
Now I want a Plopp!
Btw you get 90 068 and a half Plopp for the price of a Taycan in Sweden...
Best place to buy Plopps in Sweden is in Willy’s
Great and entertaining review! I sat in a Taycan at the Frankfurt motor show. The build quality is amazing - no comparison to Tesla. But I think the biggest difference between Porsche and Tesla is that Porsche makes about 17,000 EUR profit per car while Tesla makes about 11,000 EUR LOSS per car. I don't know how Porsche's profit margin will evolve with electric cars but Porsche still looks like a healthy company to me whereas Tesla...
21:08 Parked like a true Porsche driver.
Hahaha
21:53 "My nipples are like industrial diamonds" lmao you killed me with that.
If I had unlimited funds I would be tempted. At least my Zoe is easier to park.
Same range, you win id say
If I had unlimited funds, one of these and a Rivian RS1. I can't fit all my kids in the Taycan unless one rides in the trunk.
@SysPowerTools Full self driving is not coming in the timeframe that Musk is promising. Tesla's autopilot can't read road signs or traffic lights. You people need to stop believing everything Musk says. The Taycan is available now. The Roadster? Who knows? Tesla never meets production date targets. 50k is a rather large deposit for something that has no firm release date. All the Roadster reveal was for was to generate cash to try to get the Model 3 back on track.
You have a funny definition of "better in every way“. The only performance metric Tesla excels in is 0-60. Their braking, cornering, and top speed are subpar.
SysPowerTools you wouldn’t buy a gas car if you had unlimited funds?
@@TroySavary The Tesla Plaid prototype has already beat the porches time by 20 seconds on the ring. Also the M3P is comparable or better in range and 0-60 and half the price, the Taycan is a great car and has it's niche of buyers. But people who want a practical electric car(in terms of range, charge times with actual available chargers) get a Tesla.
Would love European car manufacturers catching up with Tesla with their electric drive train, but they have to try harder still.
Now we need a video, this exact car vs latest performance model 3, where you try dozens of non stop 0 to 60, charging speed 5% to 80% using their top chargers and using both dynamic cruise control with auto steer on both cars. Would love to see both of them taken to the track as well. I know those cars for completely different markets, just wondering if this particular Taycan is 3 times better than model 3 even with it's badge! It's funny Taycan doesn't even include a panoramic roof as standard for the price!
No question about it, this is THE electric car you want.
Derren Jeffrey who is “you” ? Lol
I dont want it though.
Not if you wanna drag race, have a bigger family, or if dont have 150k+usd to spend
@@tejaswipradhan558 welp 10.8 quarter mile is the same as the P100D, sure 0 to 100 its faster but my guess is after that the taycan pulls way harder than the tesla (but i can't confirm this yet we will have to wait for the video's). And this thing can actually turn compared to the brick that the P100D is. And having 5 seats is fine for most families. Otherwise you need a big SUV.
@@hoen2009 the model s' nurburgring time is 20 seconds lesser than the Porsche taycan, so no, it doesn't turn like a brick and isn't slower than the taycan. And again, very few people can actually afford a luxury car. So, this isn't the electric car for everyone. The fact that you think a luxury sedan is the electric car for EVERYONE makes me barf, Jesus Christ are you being blinded by your privilege.
That dash has got to be one of the best blends of touchscreens and analogue
Old school thinking, when I saw the boot cubby holes I instantly thought
"Perfect place to put a bottle of oil for topping up..."
I paused only for a few minutes before punching myself in the head
Cooking oil, for the bbq etc. Why waste good oil on a fossil burner.
I've never owned a Porsche, never will as I just can't see spending that kind of money to satisfy my ego, BUT this car is beautiful and dare I say more beautiful than ANY 911 ever was. Performance wise this is obviously a "Driver's Car" and to add Autonomous Driving Capability in the future would be a disservice truly worthy of the name "Ludicrous Mode". Some people actually enjoy driving rather than just thumbing through text messages and Facebook on their smartphones. Perhaps Tesla can write software for a new Model 3 Video game entitled "Taycan Adventure" for owners to play with while parked.
That is one hell of a car.
The thing that gets me about reviews of the Taycan is when some (not all) Tesla fanboys come out and say "Oh, so you pay 100k more for this than a Model S..." or " That's too expensive for the range..." or "You could have gotten a Model 3 for..." and blah-blah-blah. Kinda implies they're more interested in validating Tesla as the Be-All-End-All, rather than moving the automobile to a sustainable future. So what if it costs more? Last time I checked, Porsche has never has a problem selling a car. And if you believe the pricing argument is the final straw, no one would ever buy a Ferrari because you could get a C8 Corvette for MUCH less. And yet, somehow, Ferrari still manages to sell cars with exorbitant price tags.
If you like Tesla and you are satisfied with their offerings (which I will say are quite well), then that's what you buy. Cars are a subjective emotional purchase for those who can afford to spend this much money. You're not going to go to a guy who just bought an 812 Superfast and convince him he should have just bought a Mustang GT500 because he's going to look at you like you lost your damned mind. And honestly, he'd probably be right. The Taycan is an amazing car not because its an electric car. It is an amazing car because it is an electric Porsche. And to some, that's all the justification they need...
Gorgeous Porsche ❤️
A proper piece of automotive journalism!
I thought that was an excellent video. Very informative.
The sound is out of this world.
Another excellent review, (you should do this for a living), the car sounds and looks tight, fit and finish look excellent and I love the dashboard....hey, it's a Posche!
You missed Denmark, at 0:26it’s SWEDEN not Denmark, at the harbour inlet in Gothenburg....I guess
Just went on the Porsche UK website and 'expressed an interest'.
Wow, this is way nicer than a Tesla. Looks good, no panel gaps, no paint defects... Finally a real ev I'd want from a company that knows how to build cars properly.
