All it took for Jack to get excited about EVs was for Porsche to make one that costs $210,000 😂 Jokes aside, this video was fantastic as always and I learned things I never knew before about the Taycan, despite having watched countless other youtube videos on it. Never knew that Porsche sold the J1 platform to Audi and that the factories for the respective cars are totally different. The details about the drivetrain, transmission, and battery architecture are much appreciated, and I look forward to your guys' coverage of future EVs as the technology improves and we get more affordable options and performance cars.

[@demetriosb5758]

I feel at least in the US it’s important to talk about charging infrastructure and how it plays a role when purchasing an EV. The non-Tesla EVs have to use 3rd party charging networks that can be iffy at times and I’ve seen video after video of issues at these chargers (whether they are down for repairs, throttle charge speed, or just not working). With Tesla you truly don’t have that anxiety of range as not only are there more chargers they are always working and the cars NAV is always gonna tell you where a charger is, how many stalls are open, and the rate of charge, etc, plus, they are always working. My father was cross shopping with the taycan and went with the Tesla, because he just didn’t wanna worry about it.

[@shammyh]

Electrify America is owned by VAG, hence is first-party to Porsche. It may still be behind Tesla in terms of currently deployed charging stations... But given that every single non-Tesla model works with/at Electrify America, the writing is on the wall. So yes, today, Tesla still has a larger footprint, but over the next 12-24 months that's likely to change.

[@joshua.harazin]

3rd-party charging networks are hobbling EV adoption. I get that there's not as much potential profit (yet) as gas/diesel sales, but it really feels like EVERY 3rd party charging network is some micky mouse fly-by-night operation. Imaging needing to download and set up an app for every new gas station you go to, then half of them don't work anyway. As much as I hate to say this, it won't improve until some big corporate players get into this space.

[@alangil40]

This is really only a concern if you plan to drive long distances or if you don't have your own garage. Otherwise you charge your EV at home 99% of the time. I have a Tesla Model S and I rarely drive it far enough to require using a supercharger as I have other gas-powered cars that I would use on a long road trip. Having said that there are times where I might make multiple hour+ long drives in a day and I will use a supercharger, but there are enough 3rd party chargers that I wouldn't necessarily let that dissuade you (again assuming you have a garage which anyone who can afford a Taycan no doubt does)

[@Ficon]

Ah yes, the Tesla whataboutism because their false promises of range, performance, and self-driving are never happening and they now have competition from far superior cars in every segment. Two years into EV ownership, I have charged zero times at a DC charger. The infrastructure is getting better every day, there's a non-Tesla charging station across from every Supercharger along the interstates, and maybe Elon will open the Superchargers to everyone (expected at the same time as the release of the Cybertruck, the Roadster and Level 5 full self driving).

[@MyGoToUserName]

Considering big purchase point and cost to buy a telsa is their charging infrastructure. As soon as third party catches up or Tesla opens up use of their infrastructure you will quickly see a change in the marketplace.

[@PhonyBologna]

As you mentioned how everyone is 'concerned' about all EVs feeling the same. Two companies Porsche, as Lotus with Alpine (shared platform) are developing the EV Cayman and Type 135 respectively. These will be 'chest' battery designs that go behind the driver, to simulate a mid-engine weight distribution. So in short, they should be a lot more fun, with a lot less practicality.

[@deanchur]

Chest battery means it should be about as practical as the ICE version, so a frunk for cargo space and a smaller cargo space in the rear. Here's hoping anyway.

[@k0zzu21]

The chest battery is the way to go for sports cars. It gets the weight more densely to the mass centre and enables a lower car, meaning an overall better weight distribution and better aerodynamics. I think many more sporty cars will ditch the skateboard design in favor of a chest or cross battery placement.

[@PhonyBologna]

@@k0zzu21 Curious, is cross having weight in all 4 corners, or essentially 4 mini-chests? I Imagine cooling would be a lot more complex with such a design, but perhaps air cooling behind wheel ducts could work. Are there any working examples of this design type?

[@k0zzu21]

@@PhonyBologna well optimally you would want the weight concentrated in the mass centre as densely as possible and the mass centre secondly as low as possible. So I would assume when taking the other limitations into account that the best solution would be to have a chest battery and a longitudinal row in the centre, kind of replacing the drivetrain tunnel in ice cars. This would keep the mass low and centered and allow a lower overall car with low seating position.

What people don't understand about electric motors is that they do indeed have torque curves and efficiency curves as the RPM's climb. Electric motors currently have good **enough** torque over the whole RPM band that they can move the car, and due to having full torque at 0 rpm, can launch in regular street scenarios without needing a low gear. But the thing is, having a low and high gear allows for smaller motors, which means more efficiency. Sure EV's don't need 10 speed transmissions, but I could see electric vehicles having 2 speeds. 0-25 or foot to the floor is low gear, and everything above is high gear. This allows for getting the vehicle moving with a lot more torque, and then cruising with much more efficient gearing an RPMS. An electric car with a 250 mile range and 87% efficiency due to its one gear would go up to 267 at 93% efficient just by adding a second gear. A 6% thermal efficiency gain is something that ICE manufacturers would sell their souls for right now. But even in battery electric cars, getting the most amount of miles per unit of energy right now, by any means necessary, is the goal.

Would I be wrong to call it a mall crawler like the other Jeep’s and trucks

[@markmiller3279]

Yes, because the "off-road" characteristics of this are nominal. It may not bottom out on every rut, like other Porsches, but it's still no Jeep competitor. It's just a Porsche with clearance all cars should have.

"they have a gimmick function that shows how fast you're going" Everyone: So it's a redundant speedometer

[@AOTanoos22]

Talking about 2 speeds transmissions. Mercedes announced that their next gen compact (EQA-EQC SUV and sedan) platform will have 800V and a 2 Speed gearbox across the range, starting in 2024/2025.

Range, excitement, sound & charge time are big deficiencies for me. It will, however, be exciting to see what the big manufacturers do in the next 20 years.
