I totally get this, although I'm just wondering aren't modern car plants so automated that workers could execute proper social distancing and hygiene practises with low risk? Just a thought. Perhaps not automated enough.

Yeah this was an epic journey! Always looked forward to reading this every day. I'm planning a mini road trip locally in Finland once I get the car, in 1-2 months. Will take a few weeks vacation from work to be able to do the trip. Although will need to see how the Corona situation develops...

Yeah it's definitely the top speed that makes the difference on tracks like that. Taycan is pretty good in turns due to having such a low center of gravity and can accelerate from a turn like a rocket, but on longs straights it doesn't have the top speed to match some cars. That being said...

That looks awesome! Small doubt crept in my mind that did I choose the wrong color :) That is fantastic. But I'm confident I'll love my gentian blue.

The way I see this is that I expect I'll drive smoother than I currently do. Reasoning being that driving a Taycan is significantly more noticeable than what I currently drive... Imagine driving like a douche with a car that brings attention by itself? That's extra embarrassing. Literally...

Nice vid! Nothing immature in this video in my opinion. On the contrary, there was not a lot of traffic, so he was able to drive fast relatively safely. I've seen quite a few autobahn videos and he was able to drive at max speed 90% of the time which is not that often possible. Left lane was...

I received confirmation from my dealer that the car will be finished in the beginning of March. Delivery here in Finland will be approximately late March / early April. Not a long wait anymore, exciting!!

Indeed, I can verify it's available now.

It is concerning. The amount of damage to the car from my amateur point of view looks like it may have originated from the car itself rather than the charger/wiring/breaker box. But I hope not. EV's exploding by themselves without serious crash damage is almost unheard of and there are only a...

Clearly some car went up in flames. But is it a Taycan? And if it was, was it the car that caught fire or the garage? And if it was the car, why? At this point there is no confirmation it was a Taycan in the first place let alone any information on the reason of the fire. But, certainly...

Important to take into account the speed. Here in Finland most roads have different speed limits during the winter, as in many 120km/h roads are 100km/h instead and many 100km/h roads are 80km/h instead. With this difference in mind I have seen some Audi E-tron owners report similar or...

Rather interesting that there have clearly been some EU deliveries already but the app still isn't updated to show Taycan stuff. At least here in Finland. I'm eager to go through it all before I get my car :)

Interesting thread. Is there regional differences in how breakers/fuses are rated? In Finland they are rated for continuous load. So for example I have in my garage a 11kw charging station installed already for the Taycan which is tapped into 3 x 16A and that is protected by 3x 16A fuses. Based...

I think this is the likely truth. Shouldn't be any difference going from steady 80kph to full throttle. But if you calculate 80-120 time from a launch control start then this is what you get. If it isn't, well then a lot of sources have been talking bullshit.

I enjoyed this one. Perhaps it's because I'm Finnish, but I wasn't bothered by Jay's energy levels. It was an interesting talk even though I knew about pretty much everything already :) It bothers me more to see someone being overenthusiastic about the car and the video being pretty much the...

Sure did. For three reasons in this order: range, resell value, power. Due to the higher weight the power only really helps at high speeds but the first two reasons are enough.

Interesting thread. I have not driven the car yet but I would assume it can be driven very smoothly, just need to be lighter on the accelerator. The instant torque is violent and it will be felt in the body even without launch control if you're making strong inputs constantly. The car has the...

I'm also a bit worried about the ground clearance generally. Not really that it won't be enough when in raised mode, but what if I drive into something steep with the wrong driving mode? In Range & Sport Plus modes the car is always at its lowest setting. With Normal & Sport it depends on...

Talked to my dealer to see what's up and now the expected date for when the car is finished is late February / early March. Expected delivery here in Finland is late March / early April. So there has clearly been some delay, don't know why. I hope these dates stick! The timing is kind of perfect...

Just a note that from what I've seen from the discussions in Finland these CCS handshake issues are fairly common. Some cars have a lot of issues with certain charging stations until they "update" the charger somehow. I don't know in more technical detail what is going on with this but I see it...
