Hi guys, Just thought I'd post this if it's useful for others. My Taycan was parked in the street, I didn't use it the previous 2 days and had an errand to run, but I got a red alert (see photo) which completely immobilized the car, it wouldn't move an inch. I tried a few on/off of the car : no...

Good for your nephew, it's important to be passionate about one's job. 1 person / 1 context isn't a base for reasoning though (regardless of right/wrong/accuracy). From the same barrel : I'm not trying to convince you/anyone of why Musk's impact on humanity is utterly negative. We'll just agree...

Thanks for the link, interesting ! Just to be sure we agree on the definitions : Type#1 "Active suspension" is like PAR, a system that "does something actively, like pushing back on the road". Type#2 "Pneumatic/Air suspension" is like PASM, could be sufficiently comfortable & still sporty (IMHO)...

Same spirit as you, if something comes up along the way that is a true alternative, I won't wait for Porsche to keep up on the software/entertainment/user experience level of the Chinese (which, according to me, are the reference today). Regarding I think I've had the same issue, I've been...

my GF had 2 different Model 3 so I know Tesla's SW, no doubt it's much better than the Taycan's. But Tesla's is also slightly below Xpeng : drove my G9P during 1 year, everything was either equivalent or "slightly better", and overall a little more user oriented, very easy to use, while keeping...

~130K€ for a not-GTS points to "yes" but I'm not sure, so benefit of the doubt. Yes, PAR seems to be a massive improvement for comfort, the "flying carpet" effect which downside is to cut you more from feeling the road. The perfect car would be a Taycan that's a flying carpet when you go to...

lol, right :)

Exactly the same experience I had, except I'd qualify the body movements of the Macan as "massive" vs the Taycan's. And I don't think it even has the possibility to spec PAR or Air Suspension ? (unless maybe the GTS model?) didn't check that but if it doesn't then of course it's difficult to...

Not sure about the Plaid, but I drove a 2023 Model S (680ch) before buying my Taycan : only thing it can do is go fast in a straight line, it doesn't behave anywhere near a sportive sedan as soon as you turn the wheel, really disappointing - my previous Xpeng G9 Perf was superior in every regard...

The Macan I drove (~130K€) convinced me definitively to buy my Taycan Turbo : far too bumpy, rolling you from left to right, and 1/5th of the fun (for me at least)

ah, my understanding was the "i" M being revealed in ~1 month has a DHP which is active & equivalent to PAR ? But right now, it seems the best they have is Air Suspension on the i7, and nothing on the new iX3 (very disappointing), or sometimes they have something only on the rear axis, not...

agree with you, until I can actually drive a Xiaomi SU7, HP/NM numbers won't mean anything if it drives like my Xpeng G9 P (very good family car, "flying carpet", nothing comparable to the Taycan :) ). But if by some miracle they got the chassis/suspension/steering right + comfort, then I'll...

you mean the Emeya which is the sport sedan version, while Eletre is the SUV - exactly same platform though - I drove both, good cars, Emeya vs Taycan is a close call, the proposal is different, for me it's still a short lead for the Taycan.

Exactly same opinion as you after driving both (end of 2024 though)

Just joining you to say I'm happy with the service of my French Porsche dealer ("Paris Ouest"), really nice team, good tech & sales. I'm picking up my Turbo on Monday after a battery modules replacement, I'll post a summary soon, they've done a good job for me up to now :)

welllllll did you forget it's 2M€ ? 10 times the price of a Taycan qualifies as "not being a competitor" for me :)

As you know Pierre I drove a Xpeng G9 Performance (550ch) for 1 year :) A real "flying carpet" in Comfort+ mode, but nowhere near as fun to drive as a Taycan, and a great technology inside, very user oriented. In a nutshell, if someone could build a car with Xpeng tech & Porsche chassis/riding...

I totally vote for MPGA : Make Porsche Great Again (certainly not MAGA decerebrates lol)

Indeed, I drove recently for ~40 minutes the Emeya 600 Sport SE 21" : 614ch and this one has the maximum technologies the platform can offer (same as the 900ch models, while the less expensive 600 models lack a few technical options). It's true I felt more its weight than my Taycan Turbo, but it...

Cayenne EV is definitely on my list to try, my sales guy said "July", let's see until I drive it. My only approach to not suffer too much in your case is to loan : less hassle, if it breaks down it's not exactly "your" problem, you'll get a replacement etc... of course it doesn't solve the trust...
