"Hands-free Drift Mode" - now I have to look up what that means and it's limitations.

Just call it roller coaster mode

From what the saleman has told me, the car comes fully loaded and there are no extra options offered.
I will know more, presumably, when the Thai price is announced in a couple of weeks.

Its definitely a Taycan competitor, it has a higher capacity LFP battery that should have a longer life, and can charge at 1.5 mw if you reside in China where they have 7,000 of them.
The specs are 10-70% in 5 minutes. 97% in 9 minutes. So no chance to even use a bathroom at a charging stop.
It weighs 6338 lbs, and I would expect that is one of the disadvantages of the large LFP battery.
The tests I saw so far noted that they only had access to the vehicle for a few hours. I think its very interesting to see the actual vehicles getting out, to see where they excel, and see where they fall short. I’m really interested in their UI, ADAS, and software implementation ( capability, speed, reliability) as they are using Lidar, Cameras, and radar. It can be difficult to integrate the sensor suite seemlessly.
The handling, steering, ride, NVH, and connectedness will be interesting to hear about as well.
I think it will be a different mix of attributes that some people may prefer. Competition tends to improve all vehicles, so I see this as a positive.

It doesn’t stop to amaze me how in a very short time chines car makers have managed to game up. BYD Is a 20 years old brand. Very impressive.
They get what people value most. Who doesn’t like a nice and refined interior? It is probably more valuable than a nice xterior. Full optional? Certainly appealing. 1000 HP? What not to like about it. It doesn’t fly through the bends… irrelevant to 99% of porsche owners…
In Europe we struggle to understand the Toyota-Lexus thing and Lexus not really that successful in Europe. BYD-Denza… falls in the same category.
We understand the Skoda-Vw-Audi… and I hope Europe car makers move the game to the next level…because when the economy is not pulled by Germany… Europe collapses…

You guys don't have internet?

Keep your post, I'm not ONLY interested to read about my cars. I'm not a moderator, but I would say it's appropriate to discuss competition and differences between vehicles ... and even opinions on other vehicles. Congrats on your new purchase.

 

[THAICAN]

I fully agree, nothing wrong with that as I'm doing that right now (although you may not agree on my opinion).
People don't read properly nowadays.
We have a special section on the forum so it doesn't pollute the general TAYCAN discussions:
https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/forums/porsche-taycan-versus.6/

Good grief!

Good grief!

I just ignore posts from authors like the one you were responding to. You can even click on the author and hit ignore for future convenience.

Is that not the section we are on (viewing on phone...less than optimal)?

What happens is most posts will go into the general threads but the mods will move it. However you can still see them because the main landing page (for mobile at least) shows different views like most watches, most responded to, most whatever and this one is now there. Congrats

@THAICAN , what are you going to do with your forum name?
I think it's brilliant.

I don't understand your question.

I don't understand your question.

Thaican is super clever.

Thaienza Z9 GT just doesn’t roll off the tongue quite the same.

Final conclusion about the Denza when tested by a national newspaper in this country.
"The Denza Z9GT is almost as impressive on paper as it is a disappointment in reality. Once again, we're introduced to a car from a Chinese brand that is supreme compared with its European competitors on the spec sheet, but proves frustrating and underwhelming on the road."

Yep, that's why we don't drive spec sheets

 

[THAICAN]

If you have a Taycan and in Thailand, THAICAN is THE best name ever!
Just brilliant!
So, now that you're going to drive a Denza Z9GT, I was wondering what your new name would be...

I am keeping my Taycan. So the name remains apt.
