Yeah, IMO, they need to approach their EVs with a more enthusiast perspective, like the engineers of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.
1) Paddle shifters for regen
2) Activatable 'boost' button (same HP unlock that is used on launch control but also manual when motor conditions are met again, could be...
Here's some news, they'll be looking to retrofit an ICE drivetrain in the EV designed platform. May have a negative to no effect on the EV platform.

Likely not what you wanted to hear.
Realistically you're comparing a Macan that weighs over 1500lbs more. A 300 HP 3500 lb EV would do low 5s 0-60 easily.
However, I could see the Taycan motor setup would likely just be reused at 400 HP.
However, it'd be nice to see something bespoke.
Realistically it will likely a derated...
Assuming all the following options are available, which drive train would you be most interested in?
Note, the Macan EV is 78k (+20k from ICE version), so trying to make prices somewhat realistic given Porsche tax and that it will be likely a Fall 2025 release date.
Personally I've always...
Every market is different. Local shops in Scottsdale AZ (richer part of town) do a full front for about 2400. Some normal parts of Phoenix AZ do a full front for about 2k. Head north 75 miles, and they will do a full front with some of the best work for 1800, just depends the market and cost of...
Sounds like an accurate timeline I am taking delivery tomorrow. All tint and presale items have been done since Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning, arrived at port 7/30. Porsche is no longer immune to chip shortage, the sun sensor for the AC delayed my delivery. Wish I could have drove.it home...
For reference, my dealer in Las Vegas required 10% down and that was it, but offered me 1k more off (4k off a 118k spec), than anyone else, so I obliged. My SA was leading the pack offering the best deals and I had others trying to match him then he went deeper than others. I needed 10% equity...
I am picking my car up Saturday, only got full front and those vents are wide open. After thinking about it I'll be adding PPF to my two front doors as well specifically for this concern.
There are just too many rocks on the road in Arizona. I am actually flying in to pick up my car out of...
I chose to purchase and finance at 2.24% with 10% down, since I can earn more with the money in the market. However, I fully intend to use the Taycan as a bridge vehicle for when the next big jump in battery tech occurs, which seems like 8+ years out at the moment before it can even begin to...
My car arrived at port 7/30 to San Diego, took 3 weeks to ship to dealer (missing Sun Sensor). Sun Sensor arrived yesterday and is now installed today waiting to be picked up. I ordered out of state, so, it took about 1 month delay after it hit port just for those wondering the current status...
Noted. The 8 way seat as far as I am concerned is only missing the lumbar support, which is fine for me. It still has the side bolster adjustments.
I needed some contrast to break up the black interior, silver helps, with colored seatbelts. Never used the memory feature in my BMW, to each their...
Same, but I opted for the 4S then cut nearly all the lux items. All aside from the wheels, storage package, and dark silver interior trim and folding mirrors. I don't even have 14 wheel seats, but I made room for RAS and the Performance Battery in my build.
I have yet to see a Taycan without the Pano roof, seems like 95% of them have it.
That's fair, I won't have any occupants in the back, aside from when doing road trips potentially.
Just rather do without the extra weight, cost, heat, less noise, plus I like the exterior look without it. Being...
I live in Phoenix, definitely a minus to have a panoramic roof being a 2 person household. It has to do with radiant heat from above for me, the looks, the pano roof adds weight as well, and its already bright as heck outside. If anything, I want reprieve from the sunlight.
I realize this isn't...
All Taycan 4S cars have the chrome trim, you have to option the gloss black otherwise for 400 USD. The Base Taycan has a matte black trim and the Turbo models have gloss black trim as standard.
My 4S is white (almost got Green), I barely got the gloss black upgrade at the last minute in before...
