The company should be able to reach 40,000 this year.
Porsche reports an increase of global car sales during the second quarter of 2021 by 28% year-over-year to 81,670 and by 31% in the...
I believe the Audi e-tron GT configurator just came online in the US? Did any member of this forum already compare the relative pricing of the e-tron GT with the Taycan in similar performance and options specs? Big difference?
We went to a wedding in Baltimore last night. Given the somewhat rough reputation of downtown Baltimore where our hotel was (I apologize for my prejudice as the environment turned out to be quite lovely), I planned for my wife and I to drive down from Princeton in her ICE BMW. However, a...

InsideEVs recently published a comment on Bjorn Nyland - who I respect - testing the range of Audi's e-Tron GT:

Towards the end, the article refers to Nyland's earlier range tests with a Taycan 4S and his observations that the...
The other day, I was looking for a parking spot at the local shopping center and saw to my delight a double row of EV-only parking spots, even without any charger near those spots. Turns out that my town (Princeton, NJ) is reserving dedicated EV parking spots in parking lots, parking garages...
I typically drive in Nomal mode, occasionally in Sport mode (mainly to impress passengers while accelerating), and seldom in Range mode. Since several forum members described a changed car behavior in Range mode post-update, I decided to try Range mode again today on my 88 miles (142 km) run to...
Today, the New Jersey temperatures reached the low 80's (in F, which is high 20's in C). I charged my car today and enjoyed the range-boost provided by warmer weather (see first picture): 263 miles at 80% SoC which translates in 329 miles (529 km) at 100%. Unfortunately, the warmer weather...

InsideEVs reported the NHTSA's investigation into the Taycan power loss issue.
Under considerable social pressure from @feye and @NC_Taycan , I launch(-controll)ed my car for the first time today after seven months of ownership. @NC_Taycan challenged me to report the first word I would utter while experiencing such a launch. In his case, it was "holy" followed by a...
Out of 2,014 new Porsches registered in Germany in April 2021, 359 were BEV Taycans and 311 were PHEV Cayennes/Panameras. 33% of all new Porsches in Germany last month were therefore plug-in's.
When I got my MY2020 Taycan delivered in October, the Porsche-recommended SoC to charge the battery to on normal days (i.e. no long roadtrip shortly after charging) was 85%. If I am not mistaken, the forum members with MY2021 Taycans reported that for their cars the recommended SoC is now 80%...
I never owned a Tesla but always respected the company for its audacious pioneering role in bringing EVs into the mainstream, even though some of its hyperbolic language is silly or sometimes even dangerous (think Autopilot or Full Self-Driving). However, I was disappointed to read the article...
