I also love his reviews, think my favourite so far is the T-Roc convertible. Working my way through the rest of the reviews each evening. Great humour aswell!

[@Nord_Mann]

Impressive car for sure. Agree it’s the best driving Porsche today. Just did 1906km going through half of Norway over steep mountains on Norway’s west coast. Range is good enough for almost anything. Can easily do +500km in Range Mode if you feather the throttle. Going fast up mountains 300-350km is achievable and the charging network is OK in the south of Norway with plenty fast +150KW chargers. Up north you are stuck with 50KW chargers mostly or overnight 16A at hotels gaining 100-150km over night. Ferries and toll roads are 50-75% discounted in an electric vehicle. Love the Taycan.

I have bout several cars off the back it Thomas review from the e43 to the Taycan Turbo he just tells it as it is very honest reviewer gets to the point. Having the turbo for over 1 month agree 100% with the review. The only criticism I have is the Porsche pcm it is not up to scratch but you need to live with the car for a month. Drive wise what he says is the truth ! 👍🏾keep up the great work I hope you do a 911 turbo s review ?

Thank you for the funny, informative, and detailed review, as always, Thomas! However, I was surprised that you made no mention of the 2-speed automatic transmission. Very few KZbin reviews have directly addressed the 2-speed in a detailed way, other than saying it gives the Taycan better higher-speed acceleration than the Tesla Model S Performance. I was hoping you would address whether it is in any way clunky and how noticeable it is in everyday driving. I don't think it upshifts until 100 km/h, but I have seen some reviews mention that the downshifts can be a bit annoying at slower speeds. Hope that you can address this in the future! Keep up the fantastic work!

[@autogefuehl]

[@kevinbegley5881]

It seems like it is suitable for almost any inexperienced driver of sports cars, very stable and safe, giving good confidence to control; the sound not necessary but suppose it just gives an impression that there is actually power going to the wheels. In contrast the user interface appears terrible although I would never say no to owning the car if I had the chance. Great reviews, the Thomas blue looked great in that model!

Great quality review as always Thomas. I will consider this car as my only car in the coming years here in the Netherlands as the charging infrastructure becomes better. 800V should give it an edge in terms of charging speed even though it is very hard to compete with Tesla’s charging network.

Honestly about the sound: It doesn't matter if you need it or not. You can turn it off or on! That's the best part of it. If you like it go for it, if not leave it off.

[@joetacchino4470]

Agree 100% on the sport sound. Sounds fun for about 5 minutes when you are flooring it. As soon as you start driving normally, it gets annoying REALLY fast. I think my opinion is the same as yours. Sounds like something is wrong with the car. I’m surprised you fit in the back so well. I am 6’2” and sit pretty far back. I could barely get into the rear seat behind myself

[@Iranmehr79]

Hi Thomas, Thx for the very good review of the Porsche Taycan 4S. Just wanted to mention that sound in E-cars is more of a security matter. There have been a lot of accidents with pedestrians and cyclists that do not hear the E-cars approaching. So a side from a V8 sound or a V6 sound or a sportsound, some kind of sound is necessary to prevent traffic accidents mainly in the cities.

[@ZaZu2k9]

Very enjoyable and relaxing to watch. Missing Jonas’ great camera work but amazing work Thomas! I like the electric sound at high speed acceleration. City driving with no sound will be lovely. Reminded me of Thomas’ B9 S4 review where he described the driving experience as “serenity” over a shot of the wing mirror at speed. That scene comes in my mind when cruising in my A4 black ed. Thank you very much. Pure driving passion !

[@autogefuehl]

[@ronb4633]

Wanted to ask on your range comments. I believe that they were all based on WLTP figures? Have you tried any tests of the cars you were mentioning in both range mode and sporty driving? As Bjorn had seen 440km at 90kph with the 79kWh battery I am not sure you will see a dramatic difference and realize that the Taycan 20" tires has 285mm in rear vs 245mm for Tesla.

[@autogefuehl]

Based on different experiences, test drives, colleagues, test drivers, consumption kwh figures. I am referring to everyday driving figures and dont try to do a maximum range run as this is not realistic for normal driving without caring too much about range

[@ronb4633]

@@autogefuehl that is fair enough. Have you/your colleagues similar experiences from the Tesla Model S as well?

[@autogefuehl]

Yeah, the Teslas are definitely better in range as i said, but Porsche leads in refinement and agilt

[@ronb4633]

@@autogefuehl yes, but I did not follow why it was said road trips or long commutes would be an issue with an EV getting over 200mi range and that can charge very fast.

[@panzerkami2381]

That was at 120 km/h. The range for 90 km/h was 579 km. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHOVZZyAl9qmnbM Also, by the way, there is no "kph", the correct way to abbreviate kilometers per hour is km/h. I know that can be hard for Americans who is baffled by "/" but it's the SI standard (SI units, SI standard for how to write them).

[@johncollymore1697]

Nice car, nice shape, a fun drive - but too expensive! A second-hand e-Golf is better value! Great driving part, Thomas. Live on tape, the most authentic driving experience! A special coating on the brakes to prevent rust when not being used - I wish all cars had that! Many thanks for your work, Thomas. Best wishes.

I'll say it for you Thomas. NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE ON A TOUCH SCREEEEEEEEN. when I test drove the model 3 I wanted to punch the face of the screen. I didn't because I'm Canadian. Re: the gear selector. Now why didn't they actually make it removable so it could actually be a real shaver? That would have been super duper cool. Re: those aero wheels. Ewwwwwwwwww. Icky pooey. And more sporty than a 911? Wah, the Porsche fanatics are making their Thomas voodoo dolls! For me, this is a beautiful car. Not a fan of that colour but it's great you can get 4s with non leather. Nice review. Oh wait, why don't you sell Thomas voodoo dolls?

[@autogefuehl]

[@Andy-pu2iv]

When the "sports sound" was switched on it seemed to give an aural connection to the rate of travel. When switched off it was maybe less able to get the impression of how fast you were travelling. This is probably something to do with our familiarity with ICE sounds. Maybe in a generation people will learn new ways to appreciate acceleration and rate of travel.

[@autogefuehl]

yes good point

[@alaadin009]

The electric sound is very helpful in cities where it alerts pedestrians - sound is louder outside than inside the car!

[@mrhmd8308]

The bird chirping in background is classic. The electric power going down during winter months. Why is that the case?

[@Fedjapedia]

[@SdKfz173]

About the electric sport sound, and what i understand it, different recuperationsystem. I guess its easier to get used to EVs that way, if you come from ”normal” cars. More similaritys, so to say. Its just a thought, but in my case that would help a lot, and that made me have second thought about EVs at least. Learning an old dog to sit could be difficult🤣 By the way, really like your rewiev🙂

[@thomasjanssen9124]

Great review as always! I agree with your take on the sport sound: I tried the car myself, I prefer it switched off. It‘s an electric car, no artificial sound needed. I am just waiting for the battery to be upgradable. Right now it‘s not possible. I don‘t want to buy a car that will be obsolete in 3-6 years when solid state batteries may be standard

[@autogefuehl]

👌

[@travisburdess1071]

After having driven only EVs for 2 yrs, my biggest regret was not buying a EV the moment one was available, even if it had just been a around town short range car. This Porsche charges plenty fast and has more than adequate range, nothing else is needed as far as the battery is concerned, whether its solid state or Li is unimportant. Tech changes so fast, the car you're waiting on will be obsolete the moment you get it, so why wait? Just jump in where we are, and get away from fossil fuels, you wont regret it.

[@Mob-xm6uv]

[@kevinstrang11]

Great review, what's the color name of they grey colored one??

[@msl5253]

Great, comprehensive review as usual Thomas. However, I do think you're selling the 4S's range short. There was a gentleman who drove his Taycan Turbo S over 10,000 miles from/through Canada into and around the US back to his home state near the Canadian border. He drove a good portion of his trip in cold, subfreezing, wintry, mountainous weather on winter tires to boot. And the worst mileage he got was about 180 miles (he ranged between 180-240, driving 'very fast' in the western and southern states of the US he admitted). And that was a Turbo S. Actually, it's the Tesla's that do substantially poor in cold weather and/or poor conditions. The Taycan and Tesla's mileage are downright comparable in the Real World. Considering what you get in driver satisfaction, the Porsche's more than worthwhile choice for many drivers.

I love how vegan and green it is! ❤ Such amazing execution! If this is a taste of the future, I want more! I wish I could afford it. 😢 Cheers, Thomas. ❤ Hope you are safe and well. With or without the electric sound: Oof, that is a tough one for me right there. I think sometimes I would have it on and have it off other times, but mostly on. I do love the sound. But over time once I have gotten over the epic sound, I would rather not have any sound at all. I think the electric platform should just be what it actually is...authentic. It sounds cool, yes, but I prefer reality. The same applies to gasoline cars with fake sounds. I do not hunger for sounds. Seems really cool to drive! Porsche doing great as always! I have added this to the list of cars I wish I could take to the German Autobahn! This car could be a cool secondary car for me with maybe the Cayenne as a primary car, if I was buying. The range is pretty decent for me. I do not think that is a bad thing in this case, because I do not drive aggressively all the time, and if I did I would obviously be self-aware about it. There will be no complaints about the range from me, because I know what I am doing just like when I am driving a gasoline car. This car I think would compete with the Mercedes-Benz EQS or EQE when they come out. I am not sure. We shall see in the future. Thanks you, Thomas. 🤗 Authentic and informative review as always. ❤ I still love how you are advocating for more animal-free materials and vegan. I can confirm with experience that animal-free materials are so much better and are the way to go! I have been going more and more vegan over the years. Hopefully I can get my hands on a plug-in hybrid vehicle by 2021. I am still waiting for Mercedes-Benz to offer my market more wide charging networks and plug-in hybrids for a C-Class or E-Class (like they did amazingly with the GLE) or a fully electric sedan/saloon. I hear the new E-Class and C-Class may be available as plug-in and mild hybrids. Hopefully a review on those too. Cheers, Thomas! Stay safe! ❤😎
