Your reviews are always professionally done. I'm a big fan of this channel. But Thomas, can you please buy a small laser rangefinder to measure the trunk dimensions? Have a nice day and stay safe!

Hi Autogefühl, KZbin is recommending this channel - kzbin.info/door/wqs7-BnUreBJMfXHU4dZFgfeatured - is it also you? Looks like it might be, but also could be ripping off your content to make shorter videos?

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]

Thanks 🙏 i did mention in the exterior part. Noticeable? Not really

[@campista777]

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.

Nice, perfect video for a slow working afternoon... :)

[@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

[@JesVintherJorgensen]

Yeah, a really honest review - that's really a relieft instead of many fan boys. So what I would like to see is the self parking ability especially where the vehicle has to back several meters (at least 10 meter) in a narrow path.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks 🙏

[@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!

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.

Dear Sir thank you for the exquisite review. I heard the cross Turismo was announced to a porsche dealer here in asia to be ready for purchase on the road in July 2020. Would you have any information regarding the cross turismo? Danke

[@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).

How's the display reflectivity in real life from the driver's seat on sunny days? From the passenger seat camera, it looks terribly reflective. (not that I'll need consumer advice on a €150k+ car, but... sigh)

[@autogefuehl]

Instruments are clear

[@hypnotechno]

Sir, I know this is perhaps a strange question but it's not arbitrary, I am considering a base Taycan n Model Y. I have test drove the taycan 4s and as you say, it feels like a small car to drive (in a good way). I loved it. I have tested model 3 not NOT model Y. It's not a fair comparison, but I'd like to ask if you have driven the model Y perforrmance and what do you say about the driving experience difference. Of course the Y is higher but the accelration is actually higher than the base taycan and the cost difference is large. I am quite sure the driving exprerience of the taycan is better but is it worth 40 t0 50K euros for that driving experience to someone who is not a millioanaire.

[@davidowen2859]

Interesting that you should find it feels small. I drive a Panamera daily. I had a Taycan TurboS for 2 days and couldn't get head around how much smaller, lighter and nimble it felt.

[@michaelh4484]

Thanks Thomas. Is the seat material just like the sport tex in the rest of the range? How are the turning signals? is it tough to use like it is in the '718? The rear camera is the same on the 718 - it's weird, i don't particularly like it - Mercedes does that better. I like it without the electronic sound

[@autogefuehl]

It is sport tex in the middle, yes! Turning signals is the new one like from the new panamera, better than before

[@heinovanwaelem8275]

Isn’t the brake recuperation sound below 60km/u kind of annoying? It’s something I noticed over and over again in the video.

[@edensseven3524]

The best Taycan review ever. A question. How does Taycan's sound compare to BMW (Hans Zimmer) and Mazda (MX-30)? Which one is more engaging? I have owned a Model 3 Performance for 3 months, to be honest, it's boring to drive, I feel bored everyday while driving. It lacks something that makes me excited. I want to know the vehicle is working harder and harder, and we (the driver and the car) are getting closer and closer to the limit. A digital number is not enough. I really need some acoustic feedback to get excited. This Taycan's sound is, yeah, I don't know. It's great to hear the shift, but at high speed, the sound is not that exciting.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! I felt the porsche sound was quite better than the bmw

[@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

[@yuhong9424]

[@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.

[@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.

[@ronb4633]

Thanks for the review Thomas, I would like to find out if the vehicle you tested really had PDCC, I think what you felt was only the base chassis control managed by the air suspension. PDCC is a quite expensive option and only used in the very dynamic (read aggressive/fast) driving. Also range wise you can see Bjorn got 440km on a 4S with the smaller battery at 90kph so range wise it's not so much different than other efficient EVs. Also folks have taken it on a 11k mile road trip around the United States thru Canada in the snow so road trips are feasible as long as you have fast chargers available.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! It even had a PDCC gauge in the left instrument cluster to pick from, so yes

@@autogefuehl Is Ionity less reliable in your opinion? It has more sites in Germany (e.g. Schwerte, Remscheid, Hilden) and faster charging than Tesla, while price should be the same with the Taycan charge card. EnBW also expands its Hyperchargers (e.g. Wuppertal), so alternatives and competition is coming along.
