Thank you, as ever, for watching, commenting, sharing etc. As you can probably tell, I wasn't entirely convinced by my own suggestion that maybe we, as enthusiasts, should embrace the lack of convenience that currently seems to come with an EV. However, I do rather admire those that are brave enough to take the leap and use an EV as their only car. I once used a Caterham (without the roof) as my only transport for six months (in winter) and it certainly wasn't convenient, but it was memorable. Perhaps that's the sort of thing I'm getting at. It certainly doesn't mean that I think the charging network is fine as it is! Anyway, enough rambling. Hope you all have a good day.

7:20 Henry, I completely agree with you on the pioneering part. I had many amazing road trips, but maybe the most memorable one was the 3600 km trip in our EV. We basically played strategy games on where to stop for supercharging, it was quite fun. On the other hand, having an EV saves time when parking in cities, because spots for car charging only are mostly available. Folks should try it. Thanks for the video and I wish you a great cycling season. I'm already enjoying it.

What really amazed me with the Taycan is that it didn't come off as an EV. Any other maker seemed to capitalize on the fact that their new EV car is an EV first and foremost while Porsche built a Porsche that happens to be an EV. All that development for the Taycan came from Porsche's spirit of motorsport so in a sense, even if the methods change, Porsche is Porsche, and that's what gives me hope for the future :') Taycan is the only EV I truly want, not a Tesla, but a Porsche that happens to have an electric heart

The average commute is 40 miles. The range is never an issue unless you plan on doing a long roadtrip. If you plan to drive across the country on a regular basis then an EV isn't for you but driving to and from work and driving around your city won't be an issue so long as you charges the car overnight. 300 miles is a huge distance to be commuting in a day. Just charge the car when you get home and you are good to go.

Thank you Henry! I really think you’re spot on with being enthusiastic about being at the cutting-edge of learning to charge properly and not be too hung up on everything being conveniently at our fingertips all the time. ICE will be banned. That’s a fact. It’s really just down to when. I haven’t tried the Taycan, but I’ve been daily driving my 4S+ for 3/4 of a year now, through summer and winter storms and nothing beats it. From your video I deducted you hadn’t tried the Taycan 4S+. It’s really the gem in the Taycan range. Without having tested it yet I’d say the Taycan is a bit underpowered as I keep finding myself more often than ever wanting for more driving the 4S+. Come back with your verdict once you’ve tried the 4S+ and I’ll do the same with the Base Taycan👍🏻
@Secretlyanothername3 жыл бұрын
ICE cars will be banned by 2030 in the UK. But the way things are going it will about then everywhere else as well. What people don't realise (and I don't blame them) is that the electric vehicle charging situation gets better continuously. Every year it races forwards, and chargers become faster each year as well as becoming more numerous. Having a vehicle like the Taycan that can take a high rate of charge means that you're set up to accommodate the future, with just a few minutes of charging on a trip of many hundreds of kilometres. The other thing that non-EV owners don't understand is just how nice they are to commute with, or in traffic. They're effortless and quiet and relaxing, in a way that a vehicle with an engine will not ever be (unless you're in the back seat of a Bentley or Rolls), but you will always have access to instant power and speed. There's no tradeoff between performance and comfort - if you buy the right wheels (not stupidly large) then you'll get the best of both.

That isn't how it works. One accompanies the other and augments or adds to the experience. It's about choice and usability. A HUD doesn't remove a touch screen, it is another way to inform the driver and enhance the driving experience. Of course it means you don't have to rely on the screens, especially with voice input too. Now Tesla don't use it because Elon has an irrational dislike for HUDS (so far). They also want to cut the cost. Fanboys however (and I want a Tesla Model S Plaid + please) like to believe it's because a HUD or any AR is defunct, especially with self-driving. This is false. For one we won't all be giving up driving at all, and even in self-driving/autonomous mode the HUD is still very useful.

Well done on the video. I wish the 2S would fix the downsides versus the Tesla Model Smore. The eventual Sport Turismo version may do some if it. Taycan is a long car but a bit cramped for its size. I know it's a car to drive to a hotel than to use as a camper, but somehow the idea of stuffing luggage in the frunk and sleeping in the back seems like the best thing since sliced bread to me. EVs are just so excellent for sleeping in any weather, the battery is a huge advantage there. Lucid Air will be an interesting contender. Tesla matching range, much better frunk space, but perhaps too short to properly sleep in the back unless the front seats really move out of the way a lot and a foldable headside support is made to carry as a false floor or the like.

You know, Henry.... on the slowly changing Charging story. You have a point there. I mean the critics aren't wrong about it (the lack of availability) but you are right that we have gotten very use to the convenience of a gas station as common as a Starbucks. At times, two at every intersection. Infrastructure takes time to build out, and as annoying as that is the fact remains that the demand is building to a point where it can't be ignored. ICE car's had a similar trajectory, so I bet it going to be different but similar for BEV's. That said, I would venture that the EV owners of today ARE the enthusiasts because as you point out, those that have them REALLY love them. Not your usual petrol-heads, but then again, that is the point.

Embracing adventure! I like your comments Henry My thought are - maybe electric motoring is a different form of travel, in the same way that trains, ships and planes are different modes of transport with different expectations. you don't expect a plane journey to work the same as a ship, each have unique advantages AND disadvantages, and you accomodate appropriately. Perhaps that's the mind shift needed between petrol and electric motoring. we're judging electric by petrol expectations.

Henry with some deeply philosophical auto content. Maybe we shouldn't get used to convenience
