    Taycan roof rack and accessories

    Well I wanted to share this with other current and future Taycan owners. Suncoast Parts has a roof rack and several other accessories like wheels. The roof rack is <$500, not bad I think. They also have a bike carrier attachment. Looks like the roof size similar enough to the Panamera. Note...

    Testing the Limits of the All-Electric 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S | MotorWeek Road Test

    Being the proud performance-oriented brand that they are, Porsche could only sit back and watch Tesla parade around at ludicrous speed for so long.

    Tire Selection Tips

    So at least in the USA the Taycan can be fitted with all season Continentals or Michelin Pilot Sport 4 summer (more like three-season) tires for the same price.

    Tesla Model S Plaid Versus Porsche Taycan: Matchup Expected Next Week

    I have seen this rumor in several different web postings. I for one am very disappointed that any car magazine (esp Motor Trend) would be testing a prototype Tesla against the Taycan before we have a "clean" comparison with a Tesla Model S Raven 100D charged to 100%, in Ludicrous+, warmed for...
