I don't really care what other models they choose to launch. If I don't like them, I don't buy them. I don't see how someone buying & driving a wagon Taycan would diminish my regular Taycan. To me that is a bit silly. It's a different car.
In the end it pretty much comes down to how much you value that extra speed. I thought about this quite a bit and for me it came down to the fact that the Turbo was over my initial budget and I didn't value the difference enough to justify throwing my budget to the trash bin. With my extras the...
I chose only sport chrono and primarily since I need an easy way to change the drive mode. Used to switching modes easily with my current car so this is a must. Expect even more mode switching with this car.
The other options seemed nonessential. I'd like to hear more why #1 is a "definitely"...
Based on various articles published, the Taycan has a different rear gear strategy depending on the mode. On "range" mode it uses second gear exclusively on the rear unless you press the pedal hard and force it to change. On normal it is the behaviour usually talked about (2nd gear from 50mph...
I'm in the camp that thinks Porsche's are meant for driving. So a definite no for Innodrive.
I added the 360 camera for easier/faster parking and to avoid scratching the rims in certain situations, and the Range Manager to help optimize roadtrips & charging speed (it pre-heats the battery...
Yes it's probably very subjective. To me it felt like there is no grip compared to leather, as in it's slippery and forces the driver to keep a tighter grip on the wheel. I sometimes like to drive with one hand and just a few fingers and the idea of questionable grip is not something I welcome...
Racetex on the steering wheel didn't feel at all good when I tried that Frankfurt. Really strange feel. I would need someone to pay me to get that wheel option. Leather wheel *definitely*.
I was able to play with Taycan's in Frankfurt that had both of the charging port types. Initially I thought I'll take the manual port as it looks cleaner from the outside but after playing around with that, hell no.
The sensor port was one of the first things I configured for my 4S. It's just...
Good points raised. If the difference was only $24k, I would also go for the Turbo. That is not the case however, I got a 40k€ difference. That is 45k in USD. Looking at some of the price lists found on the forum, many extras cost a lot more in EUR over here, than they do in USD in the US. Too...
It's quite obvious Turbo is better, but it also costs approximately 40k€ more (I have specced both cars and it resulted in approx 140k€ for 4S and 180k€ for Turbo here in Finland). So if you have the cash and can justify paying that, then go for a Turbo. Keep in mind it's approximately 30% more...
Gentian Blue for me. That was surprising to me personally as I don't normally like blue cars. But it just looks really good on the Taycan. And I've seen it live at Frankfurt. Fabulous.
I think a lot of it depends on what kind of cars you're used to, how much money you have to spare for a new car, how much you want to show off etc. I do understand why someone wants a Turbo, or the Turbo S. For me personally the 4S with the large battery makes by far the most sense. It's still...
Yes, I expect there to be quite a few who are waiting for the 4S reveal. But I made my deposit on the first day it was possible so I expect to be in a good position. :)
There is no "Turbo S list", not over here anyway. Deposits are equally for the two Turbo models and the 4S. The local dealer clarified that the deposit/reservation is viable for the 4S equally.
So if I decide to buy the 4S I should go pretty much to the top of the list. As I skipped on the...
The 4S is almost certainly going to be published this month. This has been the word from many sources. At the local Taycan reveal the message was "in a matter of weeks". The base model & other variations are for next year.
Price was already revealed in Finland at least. Over here the base price...
There is absolutely no way the 4S is 350hp. Should be something between 400 & 500. Less than 400 would be super lackluster. Looking forward to seeing what the truth is. Hoping for the best.
Price in Finland will be 115k€ including taxes, that has been publicly announced here. With options more...
I really like the car, it looks absolutely stunning & has strong specs. Still on the fence though, as much as I like it I'm not sure if the value for money is quite there. I'll likely wait for the 4S specs and decide then. If it has same or better range than the Turbo, and doesn't lose too much...
From the current color choices available for me it's definitely a hard choice between (gentian) blue and red. Both look absolutely stunning.
Black is ok, don't like white at all.
