This Porsche Taycan 4S is optioned out at $132,000 and it's their electric car. Alex "borrowed" it from Linus since he wanted to give his first impressions of it, and maybe he might need a new set of lttstore.com underwear too.

The best part of this video is Alex trying to guess what rich people do with their cars

[@matthewjudge3763]

Yeah, I think most people think that people who own a porsche have more money than they actually do. I live right near a track that's owned by the local german car dealers, and have friends that work there. Most new sports cars under $150k are aspirational purchases by middle age people who have done well for themselves and saved their pennies after paying off their mortgage. They aren't nearly as wealthy as people think.

My compliments to the camera work in this video! I don't remember ever seeing in-car shots in a KZbin video this good looking. The "spaceship" is also a thing is other European electric cars. The more pedestrian Renault Zoe (sadly not available in North America) you can even hear the sound on the outside of the car, which works pretty well in addressing the problem of EV's being to quiet to be noticed by ear by pedestrians and cyclists.
