Taycan owners - how happy with purchase?

[mdrobc1213]

Will withhold judgement till after delivery! LOL. Just arrived at the dealership tho a few days ago and finished dealer prep today!

Okay just marked "very happy" only because I think the CT4S or GTS would have definitely been the sweetest spot for me for the Taycan CT model wise. The base car is very good and I am enjoying it but me thinks will end up upgrading in 3-4yrs next and will enjoy the car till then. It IS fast enough for day to day driving and daily duties and I do have other ICE vehicles for speed/power so who knows what will happen in the future. Till then tho great car! Great job Porsche! Well done!

I’m not sure how to vote. I love the car but I really dislike Porsche as a company at this point. When it’s time for my next car I’m going to test drive everything else to try and avoid dealing with Porsche. Such a shame.

I have owned my GTS for 3 months now and still open the garage to just look at it...everything about it just makes me HAPPY.

Is it Porsche that is the problem or your dealer?

Porsche. My dealer is okay.

Do you mind elaborating a bit? I haven’t had too many dealings with them and my dealer is pretty good generally.

Sure, they are absolutely terrible at communicating to their dealer network and to their customers. This forum is absolutely littered with examples and I have multiple personal examples. Felicity Ace was a mess, Houston port stop sale after that, and 12v battery debacle after that. With each of these, Porsche didn’t communicate well at all and this forum has been the only real source of info I’ve had. And yes, I was impacted by all of those issues unfortunately.

W/ only 5,000+ miles on my '21 RWD I'm still bracing for any of the problems written about on this forum. So far, no problems. I marked "very happy" rather than "exceeded" mainly because of the snafu related to the major system update rollout (long delays; horror stories) and the way Porsche handled the U.S. issue related to their $1,300 charger.

Speaking as a retired software worker, I'd say the Taycan software exceeded my expectations. It's a tricky implementation and I think Porsche did a decent job. They aren't Apple, after all. Previously I had a 2003 911 and it was obvious that Porsche had no clue at the time what the software aspect of driver interface meant. That's changed a lot.

I really think 2020 was the most problematic year, they've improved with each successive model year.

I've had no issues other than PCM on my 21 RWD, and now they fixed those too.

Still very happy. Had one issue with AC which took way too long to fix but I had a loaner panamera and the service manager took care of me with some freebies afterwards.

Driven most days although mostly short trips. Just did a 300 mile round trip and was seeing about 270-280+ range.

I marked that I am happy with it. It’s a great comfortable fast vehicle for sure. However it’s near the bottom of the car keys that I grab the most. Just a very non emotional drive for me. Granted that is a Porsche thing. As it does everything so well it feels a little bland unless your really pushing it.

So ……… I have owned my CPO 4S for a month now …. And had a 1500 mile trip, I really love driving this car ….. to put it into some perspective I have owned multiple Audis, AMGs, 911s (still have one each of those latter 3), McLaren, G Wagon, Cayenne, Panamera, Jaguar (multiple), Range Rover, Maserati, Lotus, Bentley,…. and a dozen other brands over the years (very first car a souped up 7 dial VAUXHALL Viva Firenza….. if you don’t know don’t bother ?)………. I place the Taycan head and shoulders above every one of those …. I had started to believe the last 5 years that my CLS55 AMG Designo would never be matched for driving fun, but the Taycan way surpasses it….. I had kinda lost the joy for driving and the Taycan has brought it back… now tbf…. So far no major issues I could not handle ….. and I feel really bad for those that have them …..l have my fingers crossed ?
