Placid Report post Posted April 24, 2020 So I finally got the car back from getting wrapped, and have been out on a few drives. It's a Turbo S with basically all options ticked, one of the first delivered here! First impression, the car is scary fast! Might seem obvious if you know the numbers (0-60mph in 2.6, 2.4 with rollout), but the way the power is delivered instantaneously feels unreal. The handling for such a heavy car is also top notch, Porsche has done a very good job hiding the weight with tech. I'll write some more when I get a few more miles on it :) Here are some pics of the car and one of my electric collection.

LA_Brit Report post Posted April 25, 2020 Love electric cars - have a Tesla M3P. The Taycan is mega - enjoy it and get rid of those god awful rims! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructo Report post Posted April 26, 2020 Looks sharp! I'm sure it's an absolute monster when the pedal is jammed. What's your monthly electric bill now with that collection?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a back-up generator on the home? That's next to nothing for getting your cars around! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The power is so stable here there's no need really. PS, I'm stuck on the wrong theme here on the forum, can't change it. Could you reset my theme choice? :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few places Tesla is ahead: Mobile app Phone as key Infotainment Price/performance Autopilot Integrated dashcam But Porsche does a lot of things better than Tesla: Interior fit and finish Drivetrain/suspension Wind/road noise Consistency - The Taycan is designed to behave the same (in terms of throttle response, regen, braking) cold and hot, low charge and full charge. Virtually no performance degradation when doing several launches/pushing the car High speed acceleration (i.e. flooring it from 70-80 mph) While the infotainment is better in the Tesla, Porsche does give you more performance info like G meter, front/rear drive distribution, battery temp and suspension info etc. A lot of this is available in the Tesla with third party tools though Seats with ventilation Hifi (Burmester) Looks and sound, but this is obviously subjective Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
