[@dnuno75]

Good video 👍 I have seen and read several reviews of the RWD Taycan from N. America and Europe where they much enjoyed the car. While I trust those reviewers, I also trust your view on it, so I will try to understand the different opinions. Firstly, I think that the wheels and tires choice, as well as the multiple chassis options certainly make a huge difference. Those 19" wheels, besides being unexplainably ugly for me, apparently come with less sporty tires. Then you have all the Porsche options for suspension, rear steering, etc. So this combination that you tested looks more suited for plain highway driving. Then, for driving fun perhaps you prefer the typical FR (eg. Miata) or even MR (eg. Toyota MR) layout of ICE cars. I think it is very hard to have exactly that same type of handling balance and response in EVs due to the low mounted batteries and CoG. Maybe we will get there with smaller EV sports cars and much lighter batteries in the future!

[@kiwibuddy]

I laughed so hard when you talked about the New Yorker shouting at the Camry for not going bc i'm a Cali transplant who started driving in NYC and the NYC impatient demeanor definitely rubbed off on me lol

Taycan is the closest I've come to switching to EV so far, particularly that Cross Turismo model. I think I'll still wait a few years though to make the switch, give them some time to improve charging time and range with EVs in general.

[@themeach011]

In my opinion just need more chargers. At least in my area. Range and charging time are acceptable to me on my model y. I save quite a bit of time on a day to day basis with home charging and not having to go for fuel three times a week for how much I drive. Every morning you have a full tank!! That part is awesome. On a 5 hour drive I'd need to stop for less that 20 mins of charging on the way which I'm happy with. My problem is there's so few chargers where I live that there's a lot of places I just can't travel to. But by the end of this year there will be a couple more chargers going in at critical locations for me!! Right now I need to have another vehicle which I need anyway so no big deal. But I love my model Y
