I don’t use the word that often, but that base model is simply gorgeous.

[@stuartbrowning3074]

Yet another analytical review, no hype just in depth detail. Keep up the good work, it’s much appreciated.

[@Nickhtafc]

I pick up my 2025 RWD in the next few days. Because of UK EV mandates, there were some crazy deals to be had (i got 30% off), so took the chance to buy my first Porsche. Feels crazy saying that, dream come true 😢

Thank you for the review. I was looking for without that crying design in front. And loving it. Now I have to consider adding PAR system or not which cost about 40k dollars more and this normal base model review really helped.

Thank you for the base model review and not the GTS Turbo Super Shmurbo GT2,3 blah blah blah , version. I don't understand every youtuber's obsession over fastest versions that most people can care less about and will never buy. The biggest drawback of Porsches is , they don't allow some nicer trim options in base models. What a heck , Porsche?

[@gomaaahmed1975]

Hi Thomas I am between this taycan base model and the new macan ev turbo, and for sure the macan can be loaded with more options and still same price or even less My only worry from the taycan is the ground clearance, it is very low What do you think?

[@josefv-y8m]

Never driven an EV macan, but an ID4 GTX and Audi etron 55...in EV SUVs my wife got moving sick as passenger due to heavy weight and you can feel the moving due to Mass inertia at any braking or corner. This was not the case in ID7 or BMW i4...much lower, although also very heavy...less movement for the passenger. Simply due to this, I would never touch a SUV EV. The Crosstourismo of the Taycan most likely offers enough Space for the daily transport. Or if available in your market...the ID7 Tourer is the much better choice...at least for me ;-)

[@MartinPool]

Great video! And it's really nice to see a pepita cloth option that's not tied to a super-premium edition.

[@oysteinalsaker]

It's a face-slide.

[@zergeyn]

I think it looks better than older design. I'm not a fan of round-ish headlights and black vertical inlets stretching from headlights downwards remind me of "tears" and the whole face seems like a "crying" face to me. New design without those vertical black inlets is much better imho.

Did you say the RWD only does 500km @ 100kmh? That is quite poor efficiency at that low speed. I would have expected 97kwh battery to do around 600 when driving that slow. If I had 97kwh battery, I would be getting 612kms @ 130-140. And around 750kms @ only 100. Must be the huge tires.

[@Twin.motors]

A shame it's much smaller, has less range, slower to 100, lower top speed and lower efficiency than a model S. But the badge is nice and the badge will sell many of these things.

[@yissibiiyte]

@@Twin.motors much smaller? They're almost the exact same size. And no the Plaid is NOT quicker 0-60. Don't tell me you still believe Tesla's lying claims that were disproven years ago. And most importantly, you can't compare a Tesla to something that actually has an interior.

[@Twin.motors]

@@yissibiiyte have you been in a Taycan? they're tiny. Also there are so many videos of the Plaid beating any Porsche on KZbin.. why try to say otherwise ? A base Taycan probably won't have heated seats, to get a Taycan to even match a Model S interior you probably need an extra 20k in options. They serve different purposes but as EVs, the Model S is superior. As a sports car I'm sure the 200kg heavier Taycan is better.

[@yissibiiyte]

@@Twin.motors you do realise the Turbo GT hasn't been released yet? That does have a faster 0-60 than the Plaid and probably quarter mile too, but we shall see. And the very base Taycan has a better interior than a 140k Plaid for the simple fact it has physical controls and usable ergonomics. The Porsche has incomparably better suspension, better noise insulation, better material quality and overall quality. And in the real world charging speed is more important than outright range, which the Porsche is also considerably better at.

[@Twin.motors]

@@yissibiiyte I've been driving EVs for 6 years. The ability to get in your car and pick any place on the map with zero thought is absolutely unbeatable for Tesla. There's barely any 300kw chargers around and if there are you need to be lucky for them to be working. I have the slowest, smallest range Model Y but I will absolutely love to "race" any long range EV by placing a random destination 2000km away and I guarantee I will win due to the supercharger availability and reliability. Tesla is the only brand on planet earth that actually cared enough for their customers to build a charging network, nobody else cares about their customers, they just want to milk you for money. As for the Turbo GT.. I'm very curious about it, we'll see what it can do when it comes out and I hope it can be faster than the Plaid considering it'll be twice the price and riding on a chassis that's nearly 15 years newer.
