I live in Colorado and their is currently no way to drive I 70, the only east west way to get west of Colorado, The last usable charging station is in grand junction, near the western border of Colorado, and the next usable charging station is in Richfield Utah, approximately 235 miles away. The...
I live in Boulder and have the same concerns. I’m getting a Turbo. If you’re going into the mountains, You can charge in Silverthorne and glenwood springs. After that you can get to grand junction but no farther west. The next station is 230 miles away in Richfield Utah. And you better hope...
Those percentages are slightly better than my Porsche dealer quoted me, and please don’t forget the money value number, which translate to interest, was also very very high translating to an interest rate of over 8%. If you put that interest rate down to the three or 4% where it should be the...
Thanks for the reply, for what it’s worth, I placed my order the first day deposits were being accepted and currently have an allocation with a March build date for a turbo. Ironically in January 2014 I also ordered a C8 which will be delivered to me in the very first shipment delivered to the...
On the bright side, you did get the unadvertised innovation of “foot garages”. You know, those two large holes in the battery where 50 miles of range could have gone.
Ok, I admit I’ve overreacted and you’re all probably right about how much fun this car seems to be to drive. Sincerely, I’m sorry for being so angry. Buying a car like this should be fun and I don’t want to sow doubt or stress for anyone. It’s reassuring to hear all of the spirited debate and...
I find it incredibly ironic that the very company who perpetrated the biggest automotive industry lie of all times is trying to make up for it by selling us a $200,000 car based on years of lying to us about what it would be
No one is complaining about “gas mileage” you can set that strawman up all day long and keep knocking it down but that’s not the issue. If 300km of range were actually enough, without twisting and turning to justify that it was, why do you suppose Porsche spent three years advertising 500 KM...
No, this is an untruthful test. Eco mode only hyper mile with no HVAC in perfect temp conditions. It’s actually very bad news it they could only get 275 in these conditions. It confirms Your actual range will be 125 to 190 depending on temperature and your driving style. Good enough for...
“That’s the only real criteria it should be judged by” is an absurd think to say, what if it drove great, just like a proper Porsche but it cost $400K and had a range of 75 miles? That would still be enough for most commuters and the occasional cruise around town. Where is the line? I’m kind...
“Set on ECO mode with A/C off”. Anyone with EV knowledge knows it no big trick to get 35-40% better range with super conservative “hyper mill” driving. This only confirms you and I driving “normally” will be lucky indeed to reach 200 miles. Performance driving being repeatable is of no value...
Just my attempt at a little sarcasm, no I don’t think it’s worth congratulations, it’s really a mystery to me and I can’t imagine it could’ve been much worse in terms of driving range. I’m genuinely disappointed. In September I felt betrayed by the price, now I feel again betrayed by the poor...
By the way, sorry about the typos in the occasional incorrect word or spelling, I mostly use dictation and it isn’t perfect, I certainly know how to spell Taycan but I suspect you knew that, and you’re just trying to give me a hard time.
I understand your point of you, and I appreciate your measured and reasonable response, I know I’m being very dramatic, I do feel somewhat betrayed because I think Porsche lied to us and I do feel disappointed and it’s hard for me to square that with the fact that I’m about to write a check for...
The official EPA mileage range for the Ticon turbo is just released, it’s 201 miles, which means with a little bit of sporty driving realistically you can expect 180 miles of range in good conditions, this might be enough for some of you, but I think it’s terrible. Do you remember Wayback in...
