Yep, it is all about driving.

Time for the naysayers to bugger off.

Well, I could have told you that!

Finally some good journalism! It really is the best EV money can buy. Sporty, practical, stunning and exclusive enough you don’t see it every 15 minutes

exclusive enough you don’t see it every 15 minutes

On Sunday my daughter and I drove from the Oregon coast to Portland (about 80 miles). We counted Teslas and stopped when we got to 100. That's about 1 every minute.
We saw one Taycan.

I say: absolutely deserved. A car with a lot of character. I love driving it.

Not what Porsche wants to see! They would be very happy if the Taycan was as ubiquitous as the Macan.

Yeah except most people don't want to do the "driving". Lol

Thanks @Der-Schwabe!

Two favorite lines from the reviewer --

• "It's a car that remembers what makes driving great in the first place."
• The Taycan is "an investment in joy."

Exactly how I feel driving my 2021 4s! However, I must say that Active Ride has me salivating a bit...

C&D:
“Launch control isn’t so much instant acceleration as it is instant relocation.”

If more of them drove a Taycan they might actually want to.

No brainer, in spite of its many defects in the high voltage system.... 6 years later since 2019 it's still the only EV that drives like a proper car (ICE car).

With this alone they are far far far ahead of any other EV

That's an infinite more times the number of Taycans I encountered on my Seattle to Oregon coast (and back) trip earlier this month. Not so for the Teslas.
