Tom! You can easily regen these cars if it has Innodrive. If you drive it hard, over the limit; but have innodrive set to the limit, and then let off the glass so the innodrive kicks back in going up and down hills, it’ll break and regen faster/more. I drove in Colorado at really aggressive speeds, went 65 miles, used 18 miles of range….Porsche has this thing built well!

Tom, do you have $140,000 I can borrow? No, oh, ok. MOM! Great car, along with the Panamera, but aren't P-car prices getting a bit too crazy lately? I think I might have to blame Magnus again on this one; he always seems to make Porsche car prices go up. At lease my WRX is the same color... 🏁

Great review as always. I wonder if someone someday will sell a little box that when you have 50 miles to go and only 40 miles of power left - you could just get that box out of the back and plug it in to get - another 50 miles or so? The EV equivalent of that extra gas can. Just a thought. If you invent that, I would like a small kickback.

I’d go with the Boxter, if for no other reason for the engine sound. (Make sure it’s had the IMS bearing issue fixed though.)

I wish Porsche would have a demo show rooms to view these in person, maybe a couple is each coast at least. The dealers never have a cross turismo in stock- they quickly sell what ever stock they have in this market. Factory ordering a 110-200k Taycan wagon without driving one (or at least sitting in one) in person is a bit of an ask from Porsche.

It's now the third best selling model and it's constrained by capacity. I remember interviewing the CEO six months before launch and he said production would be around 20K annually. He seemed genuinely surprised when my eyes bugged out. He asked "is that too high?". I told him I thought it could sell 60K a year. I think it was jacked up to 45K or something.

You swoon every time you get behind the wheel of a Porsche. I don't blame you, I would too. If I remember right, the first time you were on that road with a Taycan, you had to have a Porsche rep for the entire drive. I supposed you felt a little less restrained this time out. Hope you took advantage of that. I keep thinking if I were in your shoes, I would just tell them that you lost the car somewhere in the desert and hope they believe the story. Wouldn't it be great to drive the GTS all the way back to Seattle? Might be worth the risk.

The first time was in the hills of Malibu driving the Cross Turismo prototype. No restraints, he was there for the interview, which was very enlightening. The concept was governed to 60 MPH if I remember because, well, it was a handbuilt prototype.

You really have no fucking clue about the styling quality of the Porsche Taycan. The Taycan is in fully Porsche design tradition, which makes "sense". The Lucid is just a totally overstyled newcomer, but nothing more. "Lucid Air" is a fugly boat compared to the Taycan. How can you compare this piece of design crap of a totally newcomer in this industry with the technologically and design leader in this industry??? Just forget about "Lucid Air", because "Lucid" is executing a totally wrong dogma with this EV. "More and more, heavier and always heavier batteries", that's what Lucid really think is the answer for the EV future??? What an idiocy! Lucid is just a typically American "bigger is better" bullshit company, which almost has a touch of 1980' mentality... like in the Reagan era! But today we have 2022, and this decadence like in a Lucid you won't find with Porsche EVs. It's not that impressive, having just a "more and bigger" mentality, you clown.
