[@stevegoodwin-allen374]

Honestly, I’ve been trying to convince my wife that this HAS TO BE our next car. I was lucky to drive it for 30 mins one day & I’ve never felt the way I did about any other car ever! It is quite simply, THE SEXIEST car on the roads at the minute. It is pure filth.

Very interesting to see professional reviewers do reviews on cars they own. This took longer than I was hoping (since the collection video) but it was worth it. Should help people that are looking to make their Taycan decisions too.

[@ericmcgrath3445]

Agree with pretty much everything Rez said. Have been running a very similarly specced car for 12 weeks and it’s epic. Speed, Comfort and at home charging make it unbeatable. For reference … drove a 2008 911 Turbo shortly after Taycan delivery, never haven driven any 911 before and felt they were pretty evenly matched for pace despite the huge weight difference

[@ronb4633]

Raz, the Taycan can charge Level 2 up to 10.4kW using 48Amps at 240V. I’m sure that home charger of yours can support 7.6kW if you had 32Amps available. You probably only had a 16Amp circuit. As for Ionity you can certainly get up to the 270kW charging, I generally see 265kW if you start at less than 10% SoC. I have 28k miles on my Taycan 4S, enjoyed your review.

[@akacicaa]

Up to 11kW actually, its three phase 16A

[@Lioin]

@@akacicaa this! 3.5 wtf….

[@stevebrunning3432]

Likewise I am fully addicted to my Cross Turismo 4S, it truly amazing. I am fine with range, it forces you to take a break, the charging is acceptable, in fact mine only seems to slow down around 75%, but a break is good and allows you to chill out. It is solid, adaptable and the performance is amazing and most of all, I have enjoyed all 6,400 miles in 5 months. Some people comment about the control system, this is a car for driving not being driven, the systems in place are perfect.

[@90sideways]

Sounds like you've justified its shortcomings. We call that cognitive dissonance

[@weightliftingdoktor]

I love it when cars I drive force me to take a break

[@diggagt3574]

I've just got the 'boggo' Taycan 4 Cross Turismo, but would agree with your analysis overall. I;ve done 4k miles now and the comfort and refinement, combined with the performance and handling capabilities are simply epic. Addictive. One small drawback: I'm just waiting, patiently, for the OPC to get my bike rack.

[@paullove5745]

And on IONITY. It’s up to 350kw. And my Taycan charges as fast as 250 when the battery is low (sub 20%) and warm (35 degrees). To be fair; it slows quickly after it gets over 50%. Recently at IONITY I went from 13% to 60% in 14 mins.

[@peterhammer4644]

yep, last summer in Germany, Denmark and Sweden we got 250 kWh from empty to about 55%.

[@simplydegen]

Drive it on sport plus before charging warm battery and below 30% it charges quick

Love this car. My wife has had a 4S Cross Turismo very similar to yours on order since December 2021 - fingers crossed we'll have it in a couple months, and it will be our 6th Porsche.

[@Joakimjohannessen]

Raz I have the same car too but you have to mention some failures with the car. 1) Middle console is useless, really difficult to reach it. 2) The rear view camera is not good at all, you know Mercedes has that option camera pops in and out when reversing. The Taycans rear camera gets dirty so fast no matter if you spill water on it. 3 I had problems with security alarm, always have to press the lock button twice as it starts to beep. 4) the car isn’t automatically locking when you go away from the car. 5) The app is not that good, is very basic compare to Tesla. 6) Shortcuts on the steering wheel aren’t that good neither, not possible to change music from steering wheel.

They need to improve their energy density, efficiency, range, and charging infrastructure a bit more before I would get one. But I could see getting one around 2030. I agree the Cross Turismo is the best looking BEV on the market by far. The eTron GT looks pretty awesome too.

If you’re considering ordering a Porsche, rethink your expectations. I had my new turbo GT delivered early November. Ready to go except the Burmeister amp. I have been told it may sit on the lot for more than 2 months awaiting an amp because an incomplete car can’t be delivered. So, it sits on the dealer lot till at least mid Jan.

[@GT-22]

[@dominicestebanrice7460]

Proper automotive designers like Porsche & Audi (plus eventually the F150 Lightning) are going to KILL the tech bros' Tesla crap.

[@gothmog2441]

Tesla pioneered all of this. I had geolocated adjustable ride height in my first Model S… in 2015. That car broke 60 in 4.5 seconds, so slower than the Taychan, but the always full every morning, instant torque off the line driving experience is the same. Lots more internal space though, so more practical with 5 adults. I don’t like Teslas minimalist interiors - feel they went too far with the yoke and abolishing indicator stalks. So these days I’m in an i4 M50….

[@nathanboston9609]

I've had my 4S sport turismo for one week now and it is just so awesome to drive. My 10 year old son can't stop smiling on the school run!

Great review! This, honestly, is the first EV I would consider owning. The looks are stunning and this is coming from a BMW guy who has owned every generation M3, including a G80 Xdrive currently in production. I just wish the price of these Cross Turismos wasn't so bonkers, though.

[@andybennett1133]

How much are they...?

[@Lifeisapartydresslikeit]

I have a G83 M4 competition cabriolet. Just got my Porsche Taycan and I’m a BMW enthusiast- owned 8 over 15 years - I’m telling you - the BMW has my heart ♥️ but the Taycan is so special! Porsche is unmatched!!

[@tomooo2637]

Thank you for your review, and this Porche is a thing of beauty. I assume your home charger is 7kW and not 3.6kW House mains can only charge at 2.5kW as this is the allowed continuous rating of a house socket, though 3kW is peak and as you say, if you get a EV, then fit a type 2 : 7kW charger and you can fill your car with about 100 miles on octopus electricity over 4 hours at very cheap rates - I get 5p/unit as an early adopter : so overnight it cost me ONLY £1-20. If you fit a 3 phase house supply (quite rare for most UK homes), then a home charger can be 11kW for the porsche. Note that very few EV's support 3 phase charging. For non EV drivers, please remember the 2 points (to reinforce the comments here) about charging... An EV driver can leave every morning with a mostly full tank of "fuel", and rarely ever have to stop to charge. An EV driver on a long journey can plug in , go for a pee and have 120 miles added, or have coffee as well and be fully charged. You don't spend extra time on a stop on a long journey.

[@jacobmckee2741]

Such an incredible car. Looks great! Enjoy it man!

[@johnelegant1727]

Thank you so very much Rez for your fun, informative, and excited review. There is this general feeling that those who review have to be perfectly neutral.

Hes either got it wrong or the installer has had to limit the charge rate, mite be the only circuit he could wire onto in a remote garage or something. I fit car chargers and you'd always fit the maximum power available

[@WilliamStevens007]

This is the only EV I would buy, What a thing. Love it.

[@gariyas]

Many say that rear facing is significantly safer and kids should be kept as such as long as possible, e.g. some seats can go up to 50 pounds (~22.6 kg) and 49 inches (~124 cm) in rear facing, some perhaps more. Some countries recommend rear facing until 4 years; some organizations say beyond that as long as possible to the limits of the seat. If you switch to such using a convertible or all-in-one seat, I'm curious how is the fitment. For taller drivers and front seat passengers it might not work, but average height or below it seems maybe. I think such would be one criteria where some may find they'll only fit in a Panamera or Cayenne.

[@wrxzboost]

i sometimes go a full week without driving. what's the battery loss when the car just sits in a garage? i'm sure it depends on temperature, but let's say an average of 68 degrees in storage?
